Well It's that time again! Winter season is over and we're moving into Spring So here's my newest post

~Winter 2012 Results~
I'll list them favorite to least, here goes....

Daily Lives of High School Boys - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/anim.....e&aid=8729
Nichibros was a great watch! Very funny and highly recommended. All sorts of different comedy to appeal to mostly anyone, from parodies to great written segments, and even slapstick.

Listen to me girls! I am your father! - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/anim.....e&aid=8686
I liked this about as much as Nichibros but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. It's mostly a cute, funny and heartwarming show but there's the occasional ecchi, more-so earlier in the series that can hurt the mood it is trying to create. In any case I loved the characters and looked forward to it each week.

Amagami SS+ - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/anim.....e&aid=8573
Sequel to last years dating sim adaptation. Each girl gets 2 new episodes that are sort of like alternate endings or continuations. I probably enjoyed it about as much if not slightly more then the first series. Fans of the first series would enjoy.

Black Rock Shooter TV - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8584
TV version is quite different from the OVA and I didn't like it as much. The pacing of the show was kind of clunky and hard to follow at times. The OVA also had considerably better animation. All in all it still managed to be okay.

A mystery/thriller series. A bit slow in the beginning but it starts building up to something more interesting in the middle. However as it progressed it became increasing difficult to take seriously till some of the character deaths became so ridiculous that I couldn't really bring myself to like it anymore. However it held my interest till the end. Animation and artwork were also very well done and the voice cast was pretty good.

Chibi Devi! - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/anim.....e&aid=8645
Nothing fantastic. Mediocre shoujo show about raising a baby devil. short episodes so it doesn't take long to finish. May be moderately enjoyable to those that like silly cute shorts.

~Spring 2012~
It's gonna be a light season since my main computer crapped out and now I'm using my dino for anime. My dino comp can only handle Xvid avi files mainly. It's like back to the stone-age.... ugh. So i'll be finishing up the last of the DVDs in my personal collection.

My current season plans....

Mysterious Girlfriend X - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8853
Watched the first ep today. I was intrigued by the art style even though the premise sounded absurd! The two main characters are awesome and it's pretty funny. I'm looking forward to see how this will go!

Fate/Zero Part 2 - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8880
2nd half of Fate/Zero. Will definitely watch but may hold off till its complete and marathon. First half was friggin amazing! Any Fate fan must simply watch this. Highly recommended to anyone else that likes fantasy and action. Watch the other Fate/ material first though...

~I may also watch if avi/xvid is available~

Acchi Kochi - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8890
Doesn't sound too great but may be kind of funny or a guilty pleasure...

And that's pretty much it for now. Maybe I'll grab 1-2 other things but I'm really gonna try taking it easy with this season.

~other recent projects~

Dirty Pair TV - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=401
Recently got the 2nd half box set in the mail. watching a few eps here and there. great episodic classic.

Bubblegum Crisis - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=68
lol, speaking of classics! I recently finished this. Pretty good cyberpunk show with great music. great art/animation for the 80s. and cool character designs by kenichi sonada who also did Gall Force and Gunsmith Cats.

Kiddy Grade - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=251
Another pretty solid sci-fi series I finished recently. Starts slow is mostly episodic but about half way through it starts getting pretty interesting with some neat plot twists and development. Animation is also very good for its era (early 00s)

Steins;Gate - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=7729
This was from a few seasons ago and was recommended to me by a buddy. The middle portion of this show where its real plot surfaced was a bit rough for me and I had a bit of trouble conforming to it but all in all it was a pretty great show about time-travel. Characters and voice cast are absolutely fantastic and worth checking out the show for on their own.

Anyone else up to anything recently? This is kind of just turning into a topic where I rant constantly. lol!
