Thread: Winter 2010/2011

A bit late to be saying this now, but I think (if I can pull myself away from MLP for half an hour, lol) I'll check out:
RIO
IS
GOSICK
Freezing
Dragon Crisis
Kore wa Zombie desuka?
Fractale
Onii-chan no koto (fuck it, why not)

I'm not really too excited about any of them, so we'll see how it goes. Typically I've been most surprised by seasons that don't seem that interesting (no expectations I guess), I've been pleasantly surprised a few times before.

For me they look more like Sky girls than Strike witches.

Sky girls:

LOL wtf's with these gay mecha contraptions nowadays....

Gosick: I don't like the characters, and nothing happened yet...what more can I say? .-.

Beelzebub: uguuuuuuu~ dammit why is this a Jump animu

Freezing: meeh...I'll just quote hikago:
<hikago> i dunno, I don’t feel particularly turned on when they keep switching between fanservice and girls screaming because their limbs were torn off/snapped/ripped up
<hikago> every 2 minutes

Madoka: Watched it again, seemed to be more decent than I remember lol. I'm loving the sceneries. The non-Shinbo world ones I mean. Aaaand sadly that's the only thing I can say about it.

Dragon: GLOMP MOE GLOMP HADAKA GLOMP HHHHHHHNNNNGGGGGHHHH, summary: Kugyu saying Ryuuji over 9000 times wwww

I'm now not liking the sound of Freezing. Why is Japan so obsessed with the torment and oppression of women?

Freezing - oppression of women? To my opinion when I read the manga before, it's more of a girl-power story, which was why I stop reading it. I don't know if the story progress differently since I last read it.

Anyone who's thinking of watching it and read the manga as well, maybe you can give an opinion.

PS: I heard it's going to be a non-censor version, much like a Queen' Blades. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Gosick - Got massively bored and won't attempt the next episode.
Wolverine - Kinda meh. It bothers me how young and skinny he is but it's watchable.
Freezing - Will not continue another episode.
Kimi ni Todoki 2 - Although it was a recap, it was in the perspective of the other girl so it was technically new and old which wasn't a bad thing. It was a good way to ease the viewers in to what's to come this season.
Wondering Son - Just got the first episode so I'll post about it later once I finish it.

Kimi ni Todoki 2 epeisode 0 was the recap, episode 1 is actually out now by m33w & gg, i prefer m33w. the 1st episode didn't bore me (thank god) unlike the 2nd 60% of the 1st season. The 1st episode was quite interesting it even made me chuckle a bit.

Wondering Son - For some odd reason they decided to skip like, all of the beginning of the original story and just do a recap of when they get to the point where the main character is in junior high school. This is pretty weird and I don't really get why they've done that seeing as if someone who has never read the manga wouldn't get a lot of things. Plus, it almost changes the whole original story in a way, unless they decide to just do constant flashbacks, which would then seem pretty stupid or might work. I'm not totally sure.

Though the thing that sorta bothers me the most is the constant boarder filters they have around the screen the whole time. It's more distracting for me that good.

SOOOO guys, since I've watched almost every anime of the season, here's my recommendations so far:

Kore wa Zombie desuka: Best comedy so far

Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magica: The most ambitious of the season

Infinite Stratos: Enjoyable character cast

Dragon Crisis: Most moe so far

Merry: mediocre and too much time spent showing nothing happening, still has potential
Gosick: flat-out boring or kooky, still has potential
Level E: a pretty darn interesting Jump anime...maybe I'm going crazy. (・∀・)


My Fractale impression: Focused too much on mimicking Ghibli and ended up forgetting about plot and direction.

Well, I'm going to watch:

Kore wa Zombie desuka - this is wacky enough to burst my stomach
Infinite Stratos - mecha and fighting is my cup of tea
Level E - need the psychological challenge
Starry Sky - the story suck but I'm just watching it for the bishie

And for my sis loli and shoujo medicine (where I'm force to watch with her):

Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magica
Dragon Crisis
Merry
Gosick
