Title: ending summer 2010 anime and fall 2010 preview
Post by: janus on August 28, 2010, 09:23:58 AM
I'll be very busy from next week on so I'll do what I can before the time comes, that includes getting those pixiv lum pictures in the gallery.

ok, I'll show the preview poster first and write my mini reviews and plan-to-watch anime after

(http://moetron.com/newimages/20100813_fallchart.jpg)
more details at http://www.moetron.com/2010/08/13/fall-2010-anime-list-%E2%80%93-septemberoctobernovember/

now for the mini reviews even though we are more than half way through the season:

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi:
its about some organization in school that does favors for a price. Our female lead is this tomboyish tsundere girl that looks like a taller version of taiga from the anime Tora dora. She acts tough and trains even though she is a girlie girl inside, she acts this way because of something in the past. Then we have our male lead who likes the female lead but has a problem: from the family he comes from he is afraid of people taking notice on him and even more afraid being stared at.
to be closer to her he joins such organization were his love interest is and tries to prove he is worthy of her but acts manly only while in hidding
Anyways I found this anime a bit dull and bland. it didn't have that especial thing that the J.C. Staff offers with other anime, some is good and some aren't. if you a first timer you might enjoy this
http://myanimelist.net/anime/7769/Ookami-san_to_Shichinin_no_Nakamatachi

Amagami SS:
 Based on the PS2 dating-sim game this about a guy a chance to date many girls so the anime goes by arcs in "what if he dater her" format. I think that it is very clever since you get to see the what would happen if he took one choice or the other. I would like to have something similar in real life, like "what if" I joined the Sports club in school or "what if" I joined the student council instead?
I love to read romance anime but I'm hesitant to continue to watch it and to all romance anime that has serious love progression and I blame a the mangaka Kawashita Mizuki for this. She is the one that brought hatsukoi limited, Ane Doki!, Akane-chan overdrive and more importantly Ichigo 100%. The ending of Ichigo 100% left such a shock on me that I still have emotional scars from it :'(. All because she though that the ending she chose was better than the one she originally planned and was building up since chapter one. later I realized that the few manga that disappointed were connected to the same author.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/8676/Amagami_SS


Shukufuku no Campanella:
I think this one is based on same game also. This is some kind rpg group that goes on quests, I'm not really sure of the story, I feel that there is none. what brought me into this was the nice and pretty art style and character design. There doesn't seem any mayor plot,antagonist or conflict, its mostly go peaceful comedy with a bit of ecchi. Ironically I found this very enjoyable recommended for those lazy weekends.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/6979/Shukufuku_no_Campanella

Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~:
a continuation of the first series, this can be described like Pokemon in a sense. There are many possible pokemon trainers (ashikabi), there are 150 pokemon in total to collect (108 sekirei) and in order to catch pokemon you have to use your pokeball (ashikabi kissing the sekirei) to fight other trainers in tournaments (ashikabi vs other ashikabi in a forced game). the ending in the last season was more funny/entertaining than the current one. This is a good action anime with a decent plot
http://myanimelist.net/anime/5277/Sekirei_~Pure_Engagement~

Mitsudomoe:
something in between Hanamaru Youchien and Kodomo no jikan. where a new male teacher comes into a school of very young kids and how the students mess with them. the perverted jokes would go as far and a tad bit more as perverted kids at that age see it. Although obsessing about drawing breast and reading a perverted book all day is going a bit far. The main gag of this show is misunderstandings, pretty funny if you are looking that kind of show. I was about to drop this because of the artstyle and the bad jokes at the beginning. But this actually gets better as it focuses to a different character each episode and seeing how characters interact with each other.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/7627/Mitsudomoe

Seitokai Yakuindomo:
 Last but not least on the list. Based on a 4 panel manga, this is about a guy who enters to a all-girls high school that has now become a co-ed school. Being forced to join the student council surrounded by perverted women with their sexual jokes. I must refrain myself from eating or drinking while watching in fear of a ROFL attack that can choke me on whatever I was eating or drinking. If cata reads up to this point and watches some of this anime I will have to ask: are some girls this perverted? there may be little fan service, the harem may be rarely hitting on the main male lead, but in this anime the girls relate any conversation to sex and use puns/jokes that don't even translate to English. This is mainly comedy from a 4 panel so its kind of like Lucky Star. The Ending song grew on me after a few episodes that is why I shared it in another topic. Recommended to anyone looking for a good laugh.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/8675/Seitokai_Yakuindomo

I've heard that Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin is a good anime I'll try to catch up. overall this summer season was not the best but still good, but I think the fall season is going to be great

this is the list of the anime I'm currently planning to watch:

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai (my little sister can't be this cute)
based on the little I read in the light novel, I wonder how good this will be.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/8769/Ore_no_Imouto_ga_Konnani_Kawaii_Wake_ga_Nai

Iron Man
western series with Japanese animation style I want to see how this turns out
http://myanimelist.net/anime/6875/Iron_Man

The world God only knows
I've read a few chapters of this but never knew why it is so popular, guess I'll find out
http://myanimelist.net/anime/8525/Kami_nomi_zo_Shiru_Sekai

Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge
a continuation from the first season;a successful business man with a perfect life by obligation now begins living under the bridge with crazy residents with each having interesting past. good for laughs
http://myanimelist.net/anime/9074/Arakawa_Under_the_Bridge_x_Bridge

Toaru Majutsu no Index II
another continuation of a series, I have been waiting for this one since the the first season came out a few years back. based on what I read in wikipedia this series has many much more to offer based on the light novels. Very recomended
http://myanimelist.net/anime/8937/Toaru_Majutsu_no_Index_II

Motto To Love ru
another continuation from the series To loveru, I'm going to watch it because I read the whole manga
http://myanimelist.net/anime/9181/Motto_To_Love-Ru

Sora no Otoshimono: Forte
this season is all about continuations heck yes! Although I much prefer the manga I'm seeing this just for Astraea, a character that was not introduced in the first season. the comedy is just epic here with a pervert like Tomoki who knows no bounds. But when this anime gets serious, its has a really decent plot.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/8407/Sora_no_Otoshimono:_Forte

Mirai nikki OVA
an adaptation to the manga I love, I even bought the first three volumes. This is similar to death note, but has more action.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/8460/Mirai_Nikki

Toaru Kagaku no Railgun OVA
a sidestory from the anime Toaru no majutsu no index, this is just an extra episode, I don't think it will add to the story but I'm still watching it.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/9047/Toaru_Kagaku_no_Railgun_OVA

and there you have it
I'm had trouble posting I got the 503 "service temporarily unavailable" error , lets hope lum-chan fixes this.
Tell us what anime did you watch this season and which are you planning to watch for the next season.

Post by: FallinG_StaR on August 29, 2010, 01:07:07 AM
Hahaha... never tought I would see someone compare Sekirei to Pokemon... ;D

Anime that I watched this summer... hmm?! A lot of them... I'll make a list later... but now I just wanted to say something.

Seitokai Yakuindomo... I too fear the ROFL attack... mostly because, as I probably said several times, I watch anime at work... and a sudden laugh attack is hard to explain... ;D believe me the ROFL will get you... ;D
Very good anime... Not all girls are perverted... only 2 are. But their pervertion is mostly because of their ignorance in anything related to sex or love... or what boys think or do all the time... XD
This is defenitly something people that like a good laugh should watch...


Edit: After 2 attempts to post my lists and having to rewrite it 2 times and getting same weird message of server maintenace or something related to capacity... I give up... had to that the reply box (the big one) has some bug that if you press enter it goes crazy and keeps moving up away from what I'm writting... I'm right know very, very angry... so I'll try again later... when I'm calmer...

Post by: foxhead556 on August 30, 2010, 04:52:47 AM
i have been wondering if High school of the dead is any good what are your thoughts on it?
Title: Re: ending summer 2010 anime and fall 2010 preview
Post by: FallinG_StaR on August 30, 2010, 07:00:15 AM
Hmm... Highschool of the Dead... I have to say... it's good and bad at the same time.
It's good because visually its well made and has lots of fanservice (for some reason big boobs are the best to survive zombies). Lots of violence and blood for an action/horror genre its always good.

Now its also bad because if there's a plot/story behind it... it must be buried beneath a big pile of zombies... because I'm yet to figure it out.
And other thing is... Fanservice... yes... I know I said it before that it was a good thing, but, honestly for that kind of anime... the amount of fanservice is just bordering the excessive.

I'm writting this down just after watching episode 9 of HOTD... and I must say hating the main male character is also a bad thing.
From the start he looked like he was going to be the "hero" for the group... but now... I just see him as a douchebag... If you eventualy watch this... you will know why.

Oh, right... from 1 to 10 (being 1 = unwatchable and 10 = masterpiece) I would give it a 6.
There's only 3 eps left... and I'm guessing the will be a 2nd season unless they finish everything of in just 3 eps. and if they do I'll give it a 4.

Btw, did I mention that I hate zombie stuff... the fact that I'm still watching means that there must be something interesting there. For me its the boobs... ;D
Title: Re: ending summer 2010 anime and fall 2010 preview
Post by: cata on August 30, 2010, 02:29:54 PM
In my opinion, something that has huge loads of fanservice MUST end shortly. 8 episodes in the maximum for me because after that my rating will drop a few points. I mean "oh her boobs. How many times have I seen those already? White panties, again? Gosh, can't they find a more attractive colour? Oh I know what's going to happen, he'll peek and get one hell of a beating or he'll remain in the bath and accidentally he's going to peek and get one hell of a beating" and so on.

There are also good ecchi and good fanservice like this scene [my rating: 10/10 xD]:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ8RzQwmHFA

The Anime is Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan.

wow first wolverine now iron man i wonder which marvel super hero is next

They could do an anime of Superman (Even though he isn't a Marvel Super Hero)

I agree with Falling Star and Cata on the subject of excessive Fanservice

Fanservice will never beat an interesting plot

Good to see some crazy anime like the one you just showed us, Cata

Post by: janus on August 31, 2010, 09:06:21 AM
many times the reason why a certain good anime is popular not for its great plot, but just because the characters are cute(or moe). There is no problem in liking a cute chacracter and/or with an interesting personality, but its the only reason they watch said anime. I may have said I was watching sora no otoshimono only for astrea, but my reason is that I prefer the characters/comedy/plot from the manga more than how its interpreted in the anime.
I just realized I like to use the word "but" alot  :P

Post by: cata on September 01, 2010, 10:16:19 PM
I won't watch it because it's messed up. Too much blood in a "cute" Anime. It just doesn't work for me. If it was something like Berserk (see? An "8" and it's one of my favourites xD) I wouldn't mind the blood at all.
Title: Re: ending summer 2010 anime and fall 2010 preview
Post by: FallinG_StaR on September 02, 2010, 03:05:53 PM
Berserk... I though I already seen some of it... but I was confusing the name with Basilisk... another blood bath themed anime... not that much but still... lots of deaths...

Basilisk (http://myanimelist.net/anime/67/Basilisk:_Kouga_Ninpou_Chou)

Another one that is very gore orientated is this one... it's very graphic so be sure you can handle some this clip.
The Sounds of Death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

Wow... that still sends chills down my spine...

Basilisk... I have to re-watch that. :D

I have no problem at all with gore/scary stuff. xD

Are the english dubs that bad??? ;D

Btw, Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls it says it will air 26 Setember... but I already see the 1st episode around... (at least the streaming sites says its the 1st)... unless its a promo to the series...

I've seen it and the anime looks good. Rated: R+  (Mild Nudity) and its a lie... it's not mild... because they constantly censor the thingies... the artwork looks a bit... "heavy"... I can't really explain it... but it looks like those old paintings of japanese landscape... and maybe thats the reason why we see drips of paint on screen... mostly over exposed female bodies... ;D

the english dub isnt bad at all, I actually recommend watching it dubbed because you will enjoy it more.

The point of such an anime is to inflict fear or freak the viewer out, it is a horror. You can't get scared if you're too distracted from reading the subtitles lol :p

I'm serious, this is a fact that I proved.

the anime is called Seitokai Yakuindomo (http://myanimelist.net/anime/8675/Seitokai_Yakuindomo) the K-on reference has to do with the voice actors.

We are just some days away from getting the newest Anime series of 2010, Lumaholics, and it appears that most of them are quite promising

I am already looking forward to the new seasons of ToLove-Ru and Sora No Otoshimono

I think the following video explains my feelings right now, Lumaholics

Title: Re: ending summer 2010 anime and fall 2010 preview
Post by: FallinG_StaR on October 05, 2010, 01:35:11 AM
Yes... I tried to read the Bakuman manga before it aired as anime and it looked good... but not good enough to make me continue reading it... so I'll just watch the anime isntead... and at least the 1st episode looked good. Guess this anime can be a good look into the mangaka's world...

http://randomc.net/2010/10/03/bakuman-01/ (http://randomc.net/2010/10/03/bakuman-01/)

There's also MM! that's I have to say... it's weird... because the the main male character is a M (masochist) so when he gets beat up I don't know if I should feel sorry of be happy because he's enjoying it... XD
But because the creators of this anime are the guys that created  To LOVE-Ru, Kanokon and Ladies versus Butlers! I will be keeping my eyes on this.

http://randomc.net/2010/10/02/mm-01/ (http://randomc.net/2010/10/02/mm-01/)

Then there's Oreimo (Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai) I have to say that it looks good... yet... I don't know where this is going... If its going to be a "incest" type of anime... that in the end she's not really her sister so there's no problem (or sin). Or it will be something else (I was going to give several senarios but then it would be to long... so I'll leave you with a quote)

Quote
From everyone’s perspective except hers, it sure looked like her secret stash of PC games (dating sims and H) and anime DVDs weren’t the only things that came out of the closet, especially when she crept up on Kyousuke seeking approval. Incidentally, the beauty of this series (and what’s probably going to turn Kyousuke into a full-fledged siscon) is that Kirino isn’t even aware of the misunderstandings her hobby is causing. And to think, she even has the audacity to call him a pervert for asking her if there’s any deeper meaning to her hopeless obsession with cute younger sisters. It’s unfortunate for Kyousuke, but hilarious for me because I can take enjoyment from the fact that I’m not in his shoes. If I were, I probably would’ve killed myself already from facepalming too hard.

Almost forgot... Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt this is my honest opinion... FAIL
The only part I liked was their transformation and for a few seconds my hopes for this went back up...but then the fail returned and I wont even bother... telling why.

Well. There has been enough talk about Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai (both here and at KeyAniFans) to pique my interest. Found ep.1 and watched it just now.

WINNER! WINNER! WINNER!

Looks cute and daffy. It'll be fun to see them dance around the sexual innuendos in the show.

There was something else I liked about the show ... what was it now ...

Oh. Yeah. That was it. ;D

Post by: FallinG_StaR on October 05, 2010, 04:50:04 AM
Oh... here we go again... XD

I think we need to call Shinrei Tantei Yakumo or Otome Yokai Zakuro... to see if Veehive was possessed by spirits...

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo is another anime that caught my attention... Psychic Detective Yakumo (English title) Is a mystery, supernatural and "horror" anime where the main character can see dead people souls and talk to them... and use it to save or find the culprits behind their death... or just simply help them find their peace. Obviously the story is more than this but I'm not spoiling anything... this time... ;D I just say it looks good but for some reason I have the feeling I already watched something similar...

Otome Yokai Zakuro is a very promising anime... well we couldn't expect less from the studio that gave us titles such as K-On! and Kaichou wa Maid-sama! and many more... It looks very well made... the characters remind me (physically) of the characters from Kaichou wa Maid-sama! but not quite exactly the same in terms of the rest... XD
It has Comedy... romance... fights with demons... I've been waiting for this for a long time and the 1st episode didn't disappoint me... I'll be looking forward for this every week. ;D


Btw, I will do this every day... at least to October 8... with To Aru Majutsu no Index II that will be my final... I wont say reviews... but more like impressions (http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_sense_impression) on the episodes and what the series will probably be about...


It will return after a short pause in November... unfortunately for you... XD

I will still give my impressions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_sense_impression) about the animes... XD

up to this point I've watched Ore no Imoutou, Panty and Stocking and Iron Man so Lets go by order.

some of you Already mentioned Ore no Imoutou, and to be honest I only read the intro of the light novel, which seemed interesting enough. but for the little sister to have that kind of hobby, it surprised me too. I don't want to say too much about this one but I have enjoyed it so far.

Panty and Stocking is a love or hate kind of thing and I liked the whole episode especially the ED song
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt - ED (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbhAaDdQFY0#ws)
It is interesting how in cartoons and anime share the trait of a mundane object up to a person transforming to a weapon, but a panty becoming a gun and a stoking becoming a sword is strange indeed and it gives a new meaning to "panty shot"
I think this is like the cartoon Avatar but in reverse, the Japanese trying to imitate western cartoons, and they do a pretty good job. Its not the First nor the last time Gainax going for a western style as shown here and many other anime they've done in the past (...er french? I know there is the Peanuts reference there)
Hanamaru Kindergarten Ending [ED] (#7) 【720p】 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oKsH4mQ-qo#ws)
one thing I don't like about the anime is panty's hobby, it feels unnecessary for some reason.
so bottom line if you are looking an anime that is like a power puff girls for grownups that has great music and it seems like something like the Adult swim channel would air at midnight, go for it.
it seems Falling forgot to put the Random curiosity link in there

For Iron Man, its another anime that is using related to the west. I was very entertained with the first episode and hope it continues do so the rest of the season.

I didn't forgot the link... It was left out... intentionally...

My problem with Panty and Stocking is the fact that it tries to much to be vulgar... I was waiting for something more toned down... with the periodical sexual pun and awkward situations... instead its full of stuff that sometimes it goes past the limit of human tolerance... only the transformation scene on the 1st part of episode 1 (Its like American cartoons 2 mini episodes) was the only good part... the rest... I don't know... but the Americanisation... I think was too much... lets just say that if the japanese try to do something more american use the Simpson's as base... don't go South Park meets Family Guy... XD

Yosuga no Sora

An adaptation of Sphere’s 2008 adult romantic simulation game is making its way to AT-X care of feel, the same studio that produced the very risqué kiss x sis. Now before anyone hops off prematurely, feel also happens to be the studio that worked on Nagasarete Airantou and the various Da Capo adaptations, so there’s always the possibility that they’ll keep this “clean.”

Yes... clean indeed... I don't know what "clean" is about... if it's nudity or something else... but I have to say the 1st episode was clean at least until the last minutes... XD

It looked good and if you are thinking about watching Oreimo (or watched Kiss x Sis or even Shuffle!)... you have to watch this one as well. Even if you don't know what's Kiss x Sis or Shuffle!... you should watch this.
It is very good to look at... meaning... that the characters are very well done... lots of moe... (every girl is a moe type...) and for some reason the guy is the only good looking thing they ever placed their eyes on... XD

Need to warn you that the incest is strong in this one... even more than in Kiss x Sis... (and in Kiss x Sis they're not blood related). And also there's lots of boob... at least in this 1st episode... and especially at the last part with the maid girl... WTF!!!
