Good evening folks

~Winter 2013/14 Results~

Golden Time
Ending was solid. Drama and Humor were fairly well balanced most of the time with the occasionally poorly placed segment. Overall I enjoyed this series though.

Nagi no Asukara
My previous opinion still stands. Great story that does take a little awhile to really kick off. Interesting world, themes and characters. Fantastic Animation and good ost.

Engaged to the Unidentified
Probably my favorite show this past season. Everything really played out nicely. Characters were great. A nice chemistry between them that was fun and relaxing to watch. I smiled and laughed plenty watching this.

Sakura Trick
If you like Shoujo-Ai this delivers big time. Don't miss it! It's funny too.

D-Frag!
This show was friggin hilarious! Easily the funniest I've watched in awhile. I'd say this was my 2nd favorite this season.

Nisekoi
First half has been great so far. It's ongonig into this season. Very funny, great characters. Looking forward to seeing how it develops. FFFPeeps is so far behind now though....

~shorts~
Pupipo!
This was interesting for how unique it was. If the odd art style doesn't turn you off it may be worth a look.

Tonari no Seki-kun
Funny little shorts show. This is ongoing too

My big sister arrived
Not terrible IMO, but forgettable...

Wooser 2
More of the same. Also forgettable.

Another series of shorts that came about toward the end of the season. It's very vibrant and colorful and kind of a kiddy show but I thought it was fun. I'm glad it was short though. I think if it were longer it would've exhausted its welcome.

~Spring 2014 picks~

In addition to the ongoing Nisekoi and Tonari no Seki-kun I've also picked these up

The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=10288
Watched the first 2 eps out so far and I like it. Though I think its one of those shows where your enjoyment depends on if you like the characters. I suspect a bit of romance further in but it's also possible that it will go nowhere. Either way I get some laughs.

One Week Friends
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=10273
Looks like it could be a bit depressing, but if it keeps it's current format/pace for awhile I think it'll be light enough for me to consume easy (I'm generally not good with serious depressing stuff over time). I do really like it's art style and the main characters are likeable too! We'll see how it goes!

No Game No Life
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=9998
First ep gives me Dog Days vibes, except the main characters are siblings that kind of seem like douchebags lol. I'm curious to see more of what its gonna be like so I'm gonna watch a couple more eps.

Is the Order a Rabbit?
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=10262
This will be my standard slice of life cute light comedy this season. I'm surprised it avoided my radar till the day it came out, as I love these types of shows.

Nanana's Buried Treasure
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8864
Watched the first ep tonight. I liked it but it's hard to say much this early on. Great voice cast though. I'll have more to say after a few more eps I think.

Mekaku City Actors
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=10360
New Shaft show. I haven't tried yet. I'm still waiting to see if I group I like will pick it up soon.

~short~

Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=10398
Short comedy show with Yuri vibes. Not much else to say...

~Side Projects~

-Currently watching-

Doki Doki School Hours
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=1697
Recently bought these dvds. It's a nice school comedy for fans of this type of show. Similar to Paniponi Dash or Azumanga Daioh.

Angel Beats
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=6564
About 2/3rds done. Pretty good show. It takes awhile to start figuring out whats going on. Animation is by P.A.Works and fantastic as usual for them. I'm watching the blurays I bought.

-Recently Finished-

Summer Storm
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=6340
A Shaft show from about 5 years ago that I had been meaning to watch for awhile now. I really liked it.

Clannad and Clannad After Story
Fantastic series. Though at times during After Story I'd feel like rage quitting. Overall I still like Kanon (2006) the most out of the Kyoto/Key Visual adaptations now that I have seen them all. Kanon has the best balance of realism and contemporary fantasy for me whereas Clannad is more realistic and depressing and Air is very heavy on the Fantasy

Joshiraku
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8899
Quite funny but very Japanese even with all the anime I watch soem of its jokes were still lost on me. Ending song is ridiculously catchy! Can't find an official version so I'll just link one of these game clips.
