4:33am | Noragami Aragato Final impressions |  | | The obvious flaws in this season, though a step up from the dreadful Yukine arc of the first season, did not stop me from enjoying the hell out of this show. Each and every episode kept me hooked with rapt attention. Despite the great shows that aired this year, this even became one of my favourite shows... | | |
2:46am | Aniblogger Secret Santa: Barakamon |  | | I put this off until the last minute as I do every year I’ve participated and I didn’t think I’d be able to finish this show on time. However, I ended up marathoning the whole thing in one day because it was just so relaxing and enjoyable.One thing I had assumed about Barakamon was... | | |
1:04am | 12 Days of Anime: 12 – KUMA SHOCK |  | | Yuri Kuma Arashi was the perfect show for me. And yet I just could not come to love it. Because despite everything it lacked heart. It’s characters did not feel real and endearing to me. Though I was happy, and pained, to watch their tale, in the end the most important thing was them and they just... |
1:04am | 12 Days of Anime: 11 – What is a Hero? |  | | I was hesitant to include Insight on my list but since I’ve already included one AOTY, why not, right?Just like Crowds I have trouble thinking why this anime is so good and why I just love it. But in my heart I know that it’s good and great. And I did enjoy pretty much every episode, even... |
9:02pm | 12 Days of Anime: 10 – Best of the Absolute Worst |  | | Cross Ange was an awful terrible show and if someone tells you the opposite in earnest, please run away. However it is incredibly entertaining if you need to watch a trainwreck that just never stops crashing and exploding.This show manages to pull twist after twist, each more stupid than the last. Frequently... |
8:51pm | 12 Days of Anime: 09 – I Wanna Find This Love I Can’t Forget |  | | So I didn’t watch anything in this season except for Norgami Aragoto so I’ll do a longer post about that after the final episode this week. Because of that and the fact that it’s one of my AOTY, I won’t go too much into it right now. I’ll be talking enough about it soon,... |
11:15pm | 12 Days of Anime: 08 – Ultimate Precure Wish and Neko Atsume |  | | There was one thing I always secretly hoped for in a Precure but never dared speak aloud. My all time favourite voice actress, Miyuki Sawashiro, as a Precure character. Well, in a big role as a Precure character. I thought it was something that would never happen.But it did and it was fantastic. It’s... |
2:50am | Openings.moe |  | | As a curator and wannabe creator of all that is random and generated, seeing something like openings.moe pop up is really fun. I wanted to share if you didn’t happen to catch the wave of it on twitter that seemed to swamp it all at once.It’s such a simple concept. Random anime openings... |
2:12am | 12 Days of Anime: 07 – Walking Dead Quote |  | | In a rare turn of events, an adaptation of a manga I loved turned out fantastic. There was hardly anything disappointing about it. A few changes that I wasn’t too pleased about but hey, I understand why they were changed at least.The Gakkou Gurashi anime did what I hoped, played the first episode... |
8:46pm | 12 Days of Anime: 06 – Imperfect Virgin |  | | It was complete chance that this followed the Maria entry on this list. Truly.Anna Nishikinomiya is one of my favourite characters this year by a goddamn mile. Shimoneta was a lot more clever (and raunchy) than I could have possibly imagined and Anna was an interesting villain to be sure. Though, that... |
11:28pm | Yuki Yuna is a Hero First Impressions |  | | Just looking at the Crunchyroll thumbnails for this show makes it look like the dullest show in the world. A cute girls doing cute school things with soft, soft humor and a slow paint-drying pace. So, uh, the kind of show I wouldn’t watch.But that isn’t what this is. Not exactly, anyways.... | | |
11:04pm | Akatsuki no Yona First Impressions |  | | This season provided many things I didn’t know I needed. Fun, cinematic high fantasy adventure? Thanks Bahamut. Colourful, reverse harem/fantasy shoujo adaption that isn’t problematic and gross? Thanks Yona.I hadn’t seen anybody talking about or mentioning Akatsuki no Yona so I decided... |
1:00pm | Psycho-Pass S2 OP Comparison and Thoughts |  | | (comparison as of episode three)So from the moment season two started, I was enthralled by the spoilerific opening and went over it and over it trying to piece together ideas and theories. I got over it and proceeded to enjoy the episodes which have been super good so far. Then episode three aired.... |
12:10am | Loli Salad’s Bi-Monthly Music Feature: Volume #11 |  | | There were a couple full posts about releases (especially if you can’t SATB) so maybe that’s why this one is so short. Oh well. IOSYS – Scary Halloween ShowI don’t listen to IOSYS very much in this day and age but I figured, this is releasing close enough to Halloween, let’s... | | |
8:12pm | Psycho-Pass 2 First Impressions |  | | Psycho-Pass 2 gets its post for a number of reasons:AkaneIt was the show I was most excited about this seasonSPECULATION AHOY I don’t know if I would call Psycho-Pass one of my favourite shows. I certainly have strong feelings about it and watched both the original and New Edit version but it doesn’t... | | |
