Winter 2009 Anime Season of "too much loli - gonna go watch Vampire Bund"

Not open for further replies.
The Winter anime season always sucks, always has for the past few years and probably always will. Enough QQing, this is the perfect time to go back and catch up on good shows you dropped for whatever reason or check out the more obscure stuff. I'm going to finally finish Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou, catch up on Golgo 13 and start on some of the older Gundam shows. Stardust memories or turn A hmm..

Vicious Dog Cerberus is badass in the anime. You know shit is about to go down.
 
Well, not surprisingly, Ladies vs Butlers is shit. Although as a relatively new viewer, this is probably the first time I've encountered the "pure evil school girl" trope which is enough to get me to watch the second episode anyhow.
 
Heh, at least I can rewatch good stuff I haven't seen on DVD/in a while. Been wanting to watch all the Makoto Shinkai stuff again. 5cm/s was excellent and I have the DVD unopened...
 
Hmm, I just started watching Winter Sonata just cos I was bored. It's a Korean anime but it seems pretty interesting.

Baccano is the best thing I've seen in the past few years. If Durarara is anything like it at all, we can expect more Happy Happy Blood Time.

That's because it is easily the best anime that has aired in the past few years.

Anyway, i think people are a little put off Durarara (despite a trailer that doesn't look too bad) because its cast seems entirely comprised of school kids. Never a good sign.

Vampire Bund...as freakishly loli as the trailer looked, it also looked spectacularly violent. I can deal with some loli if the violence/action is there. Depends on how it is dished out, though. I'll probably want an episodes or two.

To be fair though, if the moe-blobs retain their quality season after the season, it wouldn't be so bad. The ones in this season don't even sound remotely interesting. Then there's the fact that one-third of this season are sequels.
Click to expand...
Has there ever been a moeblob series where people thought "This is awesome and going to be the best show this season? I'm pretty sure Haruhi upset the whole game, (season 2 does not exist to me) and K-ON was merely riding on Haruhi's coattails. Lucky Star was terrible crap except for Lucky Channel.

Sora no Woto shows promise but it's just K-ON with post apocalyptic themes.

I'd understand you if it was an original season airing, but it isn't. However it is a tad ironic to see him state "winter season sucking" then list an anime that is from that season itself.

A serious question in a sea of "smh", but didn't the first season end because they ran out of material to adapt? I guess they've made so much money on it that they'll just start making up shit for them to do now (two onsen episodes, I'm sure!).

Also, god damn it, where's my FMP. Guh.
Click to expand...
I thought K-On was actually a fun show, I also think they did a better job with the show than the author does with the manga, so them making their own material up to me wouldn't be a bad idea. I stopped reading the manga because the show was so much better but the manga was really "light"(basically in the anime lots of time had to be filled in, try a volume and see what I mean) and moved through stories fairly quickly, so there's also the chance there's enough material for more canon shit. We're not talking normal Bleach pacing or anything like that, it moves fast for a manga.

One of the very few times I think the adaption was better than the source material. And nothing against the author as the anime had been consistent with the manga, so it was all the author's plots, but the manga author's style is just "shallow."

Hardly, there is a reason why I stopped watching Natsume and need to catch up on it. One slow and subdued show you need to be in the right mood for does not make a season "good." Again, compared to the other seasons the winter anime season has always been the weaker one. There is no reason to act surprised every year~
 
I will ask again, whenis BL S3 is going to hit us?

first it was due Fall 09 but no it was delayed and now is it delayed again?

and for people who are actually saying athat 09 was crap except for a few one: i am really sad to see that umineko no naku koro ni is completely forgotten :(

and how was the last Higurashi OVA if you gusy have watched it?
 
I'll be checking out Halo Legends, Katanagatari and Durarara!!

Watched the first two eps of Halo Legends and I enjoyed the first one but the second was pretty bad.
Is Katanagatari related to Bakemonogatari?

Which reminds me, was there a release date for the next episode of Bakemonogatari?

Looking forward to Vampire Bund. I actually don't like what I've seen so far, but Shaft gets the benefit of the doubt. It's also pretty much the only show I'm kinda looking forward to.

Well, me neither...I guess? Bakemonogatari certainly overdid it, but it was still a good show. And pretty much every other Shaft series in recent years was a hit for me, too -- with Natsu no Arashi being one of my overall favorite animes. Shaft has a flawless track record as far as I'm concerned, but I can certainly see Vampire Bund changing that.


And now I'm off to the New Years party! Yay.

Ouch. Well, given how awful anime has been over the last several years it's not easy to find a director with a good track record anymore...but that's still pretty bad.

Are they 45 minute episodes?
 
Speaking of Katanagatari, I said earlier in the thread that I'd give it a try because it was Nisio Isin (though judging by Medaka Box that doesn't guarantee it's quality), but I forgot to mention the art style. I think it looks pretty interesting, almost resembling western animation.

The manga was one of those 4 panel deals right? Like Lucky Star? I have to say that I don't feel the format is all that conducive to deep storytelling, which is why the anime might be a more satisfying experience.

They can certainly come up with random storylines to fill another season. I can't imagine the show would go serious and show them out of high school, so I figure they'll do half the season with them still being in second year and then finish with them graduating in the third year (perhaps watching a show at that concert thing they want to end up at).

Still, this certainly feels like a blatant cash-in... but I can't say I blame them.

Yeah, same style. it's not really suited to actual story telling, you're right about that. Just enough time to do a gag and then another gag on the next page with no reference of how they get from point a to b.

I still say I liked K-On. It was a fun show to watch, granted, I don't want every show to copy K-On and shows like it to be the norm but I won't count that against K-On. I think I've given up on actually expecting things from anime though, once I got my computer and was able to watch it quickly I thought they got cool shit year round, seeing them butcher Macross F and other shows I thought looked awesome but never could see I realized that the shit I liked was nowhere near the norm for what they got each year. Everyone bitches about moe, which I hate using because it makes me sound like a dork, but shit, even if they didn't make that shit 90% of a season would still suck. You can make your shitty anime look cool or look moe but it's still shitty. So people should stop worrying about the overall trend in anime art styles because no one's not producing that guaranteed 100% awesome show for some stupid moe show, they're axing a shitty piece of shit "realistic looking show" for that moe show. If they had something better they'd make it. That's the way I see it.

I guess it's because every show is about cute girls being cute that's off putting to people. I generally don't mind them, but I guess it's like the bald space marine/Nolan North of Japanese culture - it just distracts from the rest of the medium (redoing Romance of the Three Kingdoms with lolis was a bit much, I would admit). But you're right though - take away the moe and you're still left with a show where a dude powers up by drinking breast milk.

I think the thing is, I like Hidamari Sketch and K-On for very different reasons than what I imagine is the typical "otaku". I get the feeling that a lot of people watch because they want to buy Yui body pillows and whatnot. I just want to watch shows about people who aren't a) blowing shit up or b) constantly in tears because they can't be with their boy/girlfriend. I'd just be as happy if they made a version of K-On with a group of dudes... but of course, no one would watch that, so moe girls it is. :lol

Just streamed the first episode of Koizumi RAW. :lol

And yeah, I didn't watch K-ON for the moe. The only reason I picked it up was for the musical aspect.
 
I don't get the bald space marine hate. In the context of most stories it actually fits. Most military people have really short hair, especially in the combat MOSes, and when making a game about combat most people participating in it will be in the military. So, most games that have combat will have people with short hair, unless we want to go the Japanese Anime route and make some war game where a squad of marines recruit some high school kid because of how they watched him fight off the Russians/Aliens/Monsters. Oh the drama that could unfold by having that clash of military versus civilian culture! So awesome. It's like Rick Hunter/Hikaru Ichijyo all over again.

I understand not liking the fact that so many shows are moe but I just don't feel we lose anything because even without those shows I'm sure we'd have gotten crap anyways.

Hidamari Sketch is also fun. Although I find it amusing that shows like K-On! or Hidamari Sketch even exist because they seem like they'd be cheap and easy enough to do in real life. I always figured anime would be the sci-fi, fantasy, alternate world shit that'd be expensive to do as a live action show and anything else would just be live action, but I guess not.
 
I'm still waiting for my Hellsing VII LE blu-ray to arrive. Lol holiday shipping. :(

The TV season looks wretched though. Definitely not watching anything in the near future.

Japan vs China is going to be epic and totally uncomfortable for me to watch. I hope my sense of humour is enough to take it. :lol

And I'm also not ashamed to admit that K-on is what finally convinced me to buy an electric guitar (no cat ears for me though).

Bald space marine doesn't actually refer to their short hair. :lol
It's just shorthand for shitty action bro shooters that Western developers/gamers are so fond of.
Heck, GAF is turning the trope into a game:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=381946

Dudebro is the culmination of all the bro-ness from games like CoD and Gears and Halo. I have nothing against these games as I enjoy them as much as the next guy, but it's like game designers don't even try to tell different stories any more. Make a game with roided up guys being homoerotic in a heterosexual context and gamers will buy it up. How else do you explain something like Rogue Warrior?

That said, it's not like there's been a rash of K-on clones as of yet... so I don't see the doom and gloom that everyone else seems to see. There's a lot of shitty anime to go around, despite the art style or genre.

And you know, for the type of stories they tell, anime/manga works well for slice of life stories. I watched the film adaptation of "Love My Life"... and there were times when the real world actor would try to be over expressive - just like anime characters (for example, one of the characters cowered into the fetal position after saying something embarrassing) - and it just looked awkward as hell. Even something like Kimi ni Todoke would have to be thought out again because you couldn't have a live action show with characters staring each other wistfully for 5 minutes at a time.

I guess I can accept Yui being a scatterbrain guitar playing idiot savant in cartoon form. I don't think I could say the same if K-On was turned into a J-Drama though.

I agree with your stance, moe seems like such a useless term its not a genre! and just used as in a one size fits all "cutesy artistic style and not what i like" scapegoat term. The sad fact is most people would be willing to accept mediocre garbage as long its not 'moe'. If you look at it the bald space marine (bsm?) is hated on as much as anime hair because it's the biggest trend of each respective cultures people are tired of the same look, though Nathan Drake has nice hair and definitely stands out because of it. To most people the cast of FFXIII are too girly because they seem to have different hairstyles I guess you can't win even when trying to introduce different looks most people seem hooked on being macho.

I'm guessing why "sci-fi, fantasy, alternate world" aren't done very often much like many series that appeal to a western audience is that it requires alot of money because of lots of animation or epic set pieces, which they rarely make money on. Even long running shounen shows (naruto/bleach/one piece) relies more heavily on the characters than an actual plot as it's one arc to the next and the audience accepts the formula.

I enjoyed the popular 'moe' anime Haruhi/K-On/Lucky Star shows because they are funny and I like the personalities of the characters.

Not in 2008 or 2009. Darker than Black and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei came out in 2007, which was a pretty decent year for anime (IMO). Among the rest you essentially have the one show I liked in 2008 (Kurozuka) and one show I thought was OK in 2009 (Eden of the East). The rest I simply thought weren't interesting or featured stereotypical annoying school aged children I found annoying.

From 2007 and earlier I can generally think of, as you say, 3 or more shows I really enjoyed (usually one - or - two stand-outs). Over the last few years I can think of only one or two shows I enoyed and no stand-outs. I realized it is all personal preference, but the way I see it, things aren't shifting in a positive direction.
