Title: Anime season summer 2010
Post by: blueXx on July 05, 2010, 06:06:13 PM

With the ending of FMA 2, durarara and anything else I actually watched the previous season I am now stuck once again with nothing but the new season...
(So yeah still got k-on running but it's like watching season 1 all over again and quite honestly it's pretty mediocre even for a slice of life)

So... here we got summer 2010

Spoiler for:

So far I gave a shot to Amagami SS but I really don't see this one going anywhere.
It seems to be a yet another "Hi I got a crazy idea let's make a romance anime with 1 guy and 1000 girls or so, and let's make it so that he'll have every possible chance with everyone and screw all of them up!"
Will probably be dropped soon...

Then I tried high school of the dead and found it hilarious, I mean I saw every zombie movie ever made (well 1980 and up to say the least) but this?!
It's so stupid and filled with so many cliches and yet they insist of showing panties all over!
I mean really???
"Zombies can't be killed you gotta... smash their heads!" "Oh noes my friend is transforming into a zombie extremely slowly :O whatever shall I do, everyone else seem to transform instantly but he is quite the drama queen... guess I'll have to kill him soon huh?"
And of course the usual "No one figured out how to get them killed excluding a small group of annoying teenagers"
Anyway I have hopes that the next episode will be even worse, which will hopefully make it funny which is exactly why I enjoy watching zombie movies.

And hoping for some laughed I tried Hitsudomoe which turned up to be an ecchi anime about 6 years old..
(No I don't care how old they claim they are!) anyway... yeah not for me.

Cat shit one looking promising and I'll give a shot to shiki too

Anyone else has thoughts about the new season?

I've watched Sekirei and it's just a fighting fan service anime, though i like the look of high school of the dead

Also a fan service anime.

I don't think I can see any anime that interests me out of that list.

Mitsudomoe looks cute, but otherwise they all look pretty bad.

Rofl @ Tezuka's chat image

Anyway I have hopes for shi ki and Cat shit one, none seem to be a fan service anime, quite rare in this season it seems.
Also I disagree about high school of the dead, I mean sure it has it's fair share of fan service but rather than being the main focus it's more of a yet another extremely stupid thing.
I actually found myself giggling when the main girl character was like "Oh no I am going to be slayed.. and my PANTIES ARE SHOWING nooo anything but my panties showing!!! T_T"
So if they'll just keep it at that, that can really work

The only worth one this july is HSotD . . . It ain't surprise that they give all Ecchi stuff this summer, and with the whole Moe-Blob crap they've been given lately it's a relief.

I need a new place to read Kuroshitsuji because OM took it down. ;9 And Nurarihyon no Mago is a pretty cool manga.

Read it while you can, it's probably gonna get taken down by the licensers.

BTW: Digimon Xross Wars doesn't look like a fanservice anime, though I doubt anyone cares.

I wholesomley recomend Highschool of the dead :D
The manga is cliched filed, but its still quite good, so, as an assumption..i think the anime should be okay?

Well, it's probably one of the few if you don't want what's there, but it ain't a masterpiece as I've heard from some sources . . .

Actually AB belongs to spring season.
And my opinion of it:
Good character design
Good concept
Great animation
Epic fail in making up the plot, storytelling and minor things like understanding the meaning of "time" and "logic".
Every single plot twist in this show was like a knife designed to make you say "WTF? how? how did you manage to make this any worse?!" as it stabs the plot over and over.
Not to mention major arcs were narrowed to 1 episode and in return we got boring fillers where nothing happens at all spread all over...

Angel Beats left me in despair in the last episode . . . Time Paradox. . . I just . . . don't get it.

Seen shiki's first episode
It feels a lot like higurashi, I really hope this won't turn into a umineko, I have huge hopes for this one.

I loved Shiki's first episode so much I went and read the manga.

I like it a lot better than Higurashi and Umineko because... THERE IS NO RESET BUTTON! WOOT! People die and stay dead. Technically anyway... >_> It's really engaging and I can't help but be engrossed by the logic and mechanics placed behind this story...

I'm enjoying HSoD anime, but I'm not a fan of action/fanservice manga that much, so I'm more into watching it than going to read it.

Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin also seems pretty cool so far.

I also like Nurarihyon no Mago... I should look into reading the manga...

DAS likes LOST?

Also I read Highschool of The Dead a loooooooooong time ago on onemanga, and it's fantastic.

Aw!

I love Higurashi! Anyways, I can honestly say that all of these series look like crap to me.

I mean, some of them even seem like blatent rip-offs or continuations of other anime, cartoons, and games...

Ookimison sounds a lot like Rosario x Vampire (vampire and other monsters try to change the world)

Nurarihyon sounds like a mix between shaman king and reborn (without a tiny hitman, of course)

Strike witches? simply Oh-whatzahoozie (I don't recall the name... It was a really good anime though, where there were people who used Alters, I think they were called... meh) with an airforce

Of course, I know that some of these might have come before or after each other, making me seem like an ignorant jackass, but that isn't the point. The point is, if it's already been made into an anime, other than nerds like us, it will just enforce the stereotype that all anime is exactly the same, and it will
be utterly boring to anyone who starts making too many connections (because then you will notice the formula being followed)

Idk... Perhaps I am just being crotchety?

So half way through and my impressions:
occult - dropped, ookami - dropped, amagami - GREAT way better than expected sadly I just really wish it would be different guys I mean this guy has no personality to begin with...
still I enjoy the design behind the girls, still watching.
cat shit one - when is that episode 2 coming? episode 1 was quite enjoyable
shiki - I am really laughing out loud at the stupidity of some of the characters I mean it's about time they'll do their 1+1, I hope there is a twist though.
and seriously, this doctor would kill people with a common cold, stop sending people home!!!
lol and doesn't that half-zombie tactless guy look like michael jackson? :D
thank god it's not boring lame and stupid as umineko, still higurashi was better (sure rika had a reset button but it was so darn well made..!)

HSOD is just a mix between "wtf" "lol are they really that dumb?!" and "lol more random fan service"
but really nothing so far beated the first episode of it in terms of stupidity, and I just love it
by far one of the best zombie series/films I have ever seen, most of them only have one thing that's so stupid you'll be laughing a year about it (for example there was that one zombie movie where every time a zombie went on fire their heads exploded even if no flames reached them ^_^ )
some of my favorite things
"I got this special number from my dad he said I should call it only if it's an emergency" "and it wasn't half an hour ago when people were randomly killed around here because...?"
"omg the town is burning with copy-paste smoke!!!!"
"I am in the spear club, watch me get beaten by my own spear twice"
"how fast can a zombie kill a main character that's sitting 1 stair away from it and not moving? 5-6 minutes tops! first he gotta crawl then stand up, then crawl again, then advance slowly, did we mention he started 10cm away?"
"how long does a friend of a main character takes to transform into a zombie?" "if he wears an armored jacket ... about 1000 times longer than others!"
"omg omg I can't believe it omg omg the cops are shooting omg omg what are they shooting at omg omg zombies omg omg"
"I am a doctor!" (still looking for that proof...)

and that's just the first episode! (sadly it's like they really enjoy recycling scenes and nothing funny can happen in those unless your memory is actually bad enough not to remember what happened a whole entire episode ago)

can't wait until "1 kick - k.o" guy and his little fans come back

I wanna check out Strike Witches 2, but I haven't even seen the first one yet because I can't find a torrent that's fully uncensored. I found one that had most of them uncensored, but a few of the episodes weren't, according to the comment section. And I don't freakin' like to see things when they're censored.

I'm definitely gonna get into High School of the Dead though.
