Seems like the spring season is starting to wrap up. Medaka Box is the only anime I'm watching that has finished airing so far, and it's average at best. There's a second season confirmed, so I guess I'll give that a shot when it airs. Accel World is apparently going to have 24 episodes, so I've got quite some time to watch that one. Almost all the other anime I'm watching are ending within the next three weeks or so. And quite honestly, the only new anime for the summer season I'm looking forward to is Aruvu Rezuru: Kikai Jikake no Yousei-tachi. Seems like it'll be a quiet summer season...
1st Edit:
Today I watched the last episode of Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. The ending was predictable and wasn't as emotionally heart tugging as I think the producers were trying to get at. However, I'd say it's still better than Medaka Box. And today I learned that the new anime I was looking forward to, Aruvu Rezuru, is going to be an OVA. In other words, I have nothing planned for the upcoming summer season. I guess I'll just wait for the recommendations to roll in and plan ahead for the fall season.
2nd Edit:
Another day, another anime finished. Jormungand was just a very flat, bland, shoot 'em up anime. The drama wasn't executed well and the characters are very flat. It's pretty much only just as good as Medaka Box (and ironically those are the only two anime series I'm watching with confirmed second seasons so far). It tries to end suspensefully, but fails quite horribly. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, because this anime wasn't bad. It was just really really far from good. Tomorrow, three anime series I'm watching wrap up and come to an end. Let's see how they do...
3rd (and final) Edit:
Finished Sakamichi no Apollon, Sankarea, and Acchi Kocchi (in that order) today. Sakamichi ended exactly as I expected it to. It wasn't a bad anime, but wasn't all that great either. Sankarea ended terribly. It leaves a lot open for a second season, so I'm hoping for that, but there are too many unanswered questions that don't really leave you with a feeling of suspense, just a feeling of incompletion. It was probably the worst ending to an anime I've seen in a long time. Really ruined a decent first eleven episodes. Acchi Kocchi was just a cute little anime and the ending was, once again, expected. There probably won't be a second season, but it's a plotless anime to start so it's possible they might try to throw in another dozen episodes if people like the anime. Unfortunately, there hasn't been an anime yet that was absolutely amazing. Accel World has thirteen episodes left and Hyouka has eleven. I'm hoping one of those shows really delivers, because this spring season went from promising to disappointing. I'm hoping the autumn season is better, because this summer season doesn't look so good...
