As for magic highschool,
Spoiler:

I don't mind the style, but maybe that's because I haven't watched the Monotagari series. What I like about Nisekoi or even Madoka Magica is that it still has the abstract style, but they're still very different. Monotagari and City Actors seem to be a little too close for comfort.

I'll trsut your judgment on Magic High School. Hopefully they do explain it well at the end of the arc.

And for now, I can feel for the Blanche/Egalite group but they're probably not what I think they are. Man, I just want to keep on watching!!!!

Yeah, that's how I felt too. XD

I second this!

That half way point is amazing and I was left dazed after it! It was a long wait till the second half started lol. I was so eager to see what would happen next.

I've watched, and really liked, several shaft shows. This is the first time it's bothering me at to this level.

World is Still Beautiful
I think it's safe to say that this is my favorite romance anime of the season now.

The blend of comedy, romance, and seriousness I feel is so well executed. And the relationship between Nike and Livi is so pure and moving that I always have a smile on my face when I'm watching them.

Hmm...finished the first ep of Sekoku no Dragonar. Not sure what to think so far. It gives of the feeling of the type of show that it could go in a dark and serious direction that would probably be great or in a comedy echii direction that will be fucking terrible and nothing but fanservice.

by Lunacy Sat May 03, 2014 10:25 pm

BTW, I'm being sarcastic, it's obviously the latter. I'm just waiting to see how bad this is gonna get before I drop it.

Okay, dropped. This is the type of terrible dribble that I hate. I should have known it was this type of show. Oh well, gave it a 3.

by Lunacy Sat May 03, 2014 10:52 pm

I swear I'm cursed when it comes to the Spring season. Last year, Spring was by far my weakest season, I see it's staying the course this year as well. Though I've dropped 4 shows already this season.

It feels like a super perverted version of witch craft works with aliens and robots instead of witches. Also, the mc isn't a pussy like Takamiya. XD

Jeez, that bad eh? I'm definitely not going to watch it then.

I love pretty much every show I'm watching this season. I think this spring is very strong.

Spoiler:

You haven't watched the sub have you?

And regarding to Mikasa, just you wait! She's by far one of the most awesome characters in the show.

And I thought all the vocies were great. There was some dialog change, but it was still pretty much the same. I like Armin's voice more in the english dub more than the japanese dub. Less whiny-sounding.

by Squirrel500 Sun May 04, 2014 12:06 am

no I haven't watched the sub, the dubbed version is the first one I've seen.

as for Mikasa, that's awesome, I can't wait to see how badass she is XD

I liked the voices for the dubbed version as well

Well that's a little annoying. I was in the middle of the watching the last episode of My Teen Romantic Comedy and then CR shuts down! I can't access the page anymore! DAMMIT!!!

edit: Never mind, it's working again.

Ya!

And I finished My Teen Romantic Comedy. It was great! It get a 9/10 from me.

I'm hoping season 2 we get more romance though. This season was more about building friendships and learning about the characters. This is suppose to be a romance anime after all and I was surprised to see that there was barely any romance in it!

by Lunacy Sun May 04, 2014 1:13 am

I gave it an 8, I really did like it, but I'm not that excited for another season.

by ColumbianLoom Sun May 04, 2014 12:01 pm

Brynhildr in the Darkness
Good episode! They're still following the manga very well and they're setting up everything nicely. But I think after this arc is where they're going to change things and skip a huge chunk of the manga. Which is an utter shame because that is by far some of the best parts of the entire series. I'm totally bias about this series because the two arcs I'm referring to are so unbelievably good that these introduction arcs will seem like nothing in comparison.

So I'm having trouble putting myself in the shoes of anime-only-watchers for this show. My guess is that anime-only-watchers are thinking, "this show is good, but it isn't fantastic.

One Week Friends
This show is just so damn cute and emotional! By far one of the best slice of life shows of the season. Every episode so far has been absolutely great. Luna, I'm surprised you haven't watched this one yet.

I see.... I thought it was awesome and different. I'm very much looking forward to the next season.

Also what's your thoughts Durarara?

by Lunacy Sun May 04, 2014 12:53 pm

I've been watching it for over a year now. Am on ep 7, I think. I just can't get into the show.

by ColumbianLoom Sun May 04, 2014 2:03 pm

Lol, oh! It seems like a lot of people liked it though.

It's #93 on MAL....

by Lunacy Sun May 04, 2014 2:10 pm

Yeah I know, but don't really get it. I'm not exactly completely on the same level as mal anyhow. FMA brotherhood is ranked number one. I don't even like it.
edit: HOW THE FUCK IS FAIRY TAIL (2014) ALREADY IN THE TOP 30?!?!?!
Ugh, this is why I don't put too much stock in that.

Also, I said that the main reason I've lagged it to watch One Week Friends is because of the subject of memory loss. I just...gah.

by Squirrel500 Sun May 04, 2014 2:37 pm

There's some things with MAL that don't makes sense but I think for the most part it's pretty spot on. Fail Tail '14 is probably so high because of hype and people already know the series is good. I think MAL is the best way to check the quality of a show. For the most part, fans don't lie.

I don't think I'll be going up in the rankings any time soon lol. For my first time, I don't think I'm doing horrible but I'm definitely not doing good either lol. Squirrel, you actually did good though. Being in the top 160 is pretty good.
