ending summer 2010 anime and fall 2010 preview
« 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


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.

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...

like I mentioned I had trouble I had trouble posting this as last time. but in my case I didn't give up just yet since it would be a waste of wall of text. what I believe is the problem is the [url*][/url*] and the [img*][/img]
just post the URLs as they are

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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