Summer 2014 end

Ao Haru Ride – 7/10
I like the Kou x Futaba pairing but the whole triangle situation seemed kinda… weird. And somehow the show seemed to lack the amount of impact I was expecting from it.

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Ilya 2wei! – 7/10
Miyu and Ilya are super cute but Kuro makes me angry. Anyway, still looking forward to S3 next year.

Futsuu no Joshikousei ga Locodol Yattemita. – 6/10
Didn’t have much depth to it, and some of the slice of life was boring, but the songs were catchy and Uogokoro-kun is cute :v

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun – 7/10
Chiyo is so adorable. It’s a great comedy but I dropped it to a 7 because more than half of the cast pissed me off <.< Glasslip – 3/10
This was a shitty waste of time.

Hanamonogatari – 7/10
It was alright… but I really am not a Suruga fan w.

Hanayamata – 8/10
That sakugaaaaa and the main theme song is absolutely amazing. There is some slight bias due to Kayatan and Minyami but I really did love the final performance. The colourful yukatas were definitely a great aesthetic. Yaya > Machi > Hana > Tami = Naru

Jinsei – 4/10
There were too many words. Overall it just wasn’t that interesting and it was annoying more often than amusing.

Magica Wars – 6/10
Not much substance in these 5-min episodes but hey, it was pretty flashy and the character designs are neat.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei – 7/10
Started off slow and boring, but did get more interesting later on. Miyuki grew on me more, too… in the end I don’t actually remember any of the characters aside from the main two though :v

Majimoji Rurumo – 5/10
This show was admittedly pretty bad. I love Mimorin but I didn’t like Rurumo. It still gets a 5/10 because it had two great Mimorin songs w.

Still going:

Aikatsu! – 7/10
HappinessCharge Precure! – 6/10

  1. I’d give Hanamonogatari a 10/10 cuz I’m a fucking fanboy Xp
    Objectively, -.- I’d give it a…8-9/10 (fuck I can’t choose)

    dropped Hanayamata after episode 10 (should have sooner): characters looked bad, lost interest in what was going on, cringed sometimes doshiio? ;_;

    Ao Haru Ride and Love Stage seem like decent ADAPTATIONS, even though I didn’t finish them (considering to; up to date with their English translated manga).
    Dropped Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki kun (didn’t even watch 1 whole episode) because I read some of the manga (like of the top of my head 32 chapters) and I wasn’t laughing at all.
    Dropped Barakamon (watched 1 episode) because I read some of the manga (like 9 chapters) and I wasn’t feeling or laughing at all.
    Zankyou no Terror was meh
    need to watch Aldnoah.zero
    Glasslip…well 夏の日と君の声 and Lucent Eyes by Choucho were the best things about it
    Haven’t touched Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei cuz I haven’t touched to LNs

    Best OPs:
    Glasslip: 夏の日と君の声 – Choucho
    Tokyo ESP (dropped cuz cut a ton of shit and made the pacing look bad, and added a ton of shit like those random bad guys fight in episode 1): Tokyo Zero Hearts – Faylan
    Tokyo Ghoul (dropped cuz cut a ton, rush, made pacing look bad, etc.): unravel – TK from 凛として時雨

    Best EDs:
    Akame ga Kill (still airing, decent adaptation so far (watched like 10 eps): こんな世界、知りたくなかった。- 沢井美空

    fuck I need to charge my laptop and I still haven’t watched Sora no Method ep 5 and Inou-Battle wa Nichijou Naka de ep 5 -.- sorry if a blog sized post of a reply/comment vexes you

    • Long comments don’t bother me; you can post whatever as long as it’s not spam.

      I’ll admit I’m biased towards Hanayamata since I’m a huge idol fan and the cast included two of my favourite WUG members. The plot was definitely pretty average; I was just a big fan of the yukatas and the seiyuu w

  2. If you mean wake up girls, idk about that since it didn’t interest me and I had kinda begun season watching/following in winter 2014, and even then at first glance there wasn’t much that interested me (only watched like 4; looking back on it though, there’s anime that I didn’t watch then that I’m interested in now).
    The only seiyuu that I remember from Hanayamata was Naru’s because Doshiioo?

    Fuck the thought of giving Hanamonogatari a 7 has crossed my mind now (mostly cuz of my more hardcore and knowledgeable otaku friend) :((((
    Suruga is not in my top 5 girls from Monogatari series (no 6), but I think she did very well in Hanamonogatari. Nothing about her thoughts, dialogue and actions bothered me. Watching Hanamonogatari made me respect her a lot more, on top of her lewdness and fun-ness that I have seen from her before hand.
    Numachi Rouka (no 8-10) was a pretty good character too and pretty respectable as well.
    Shinobu tho… XD
