This season is so bad, if it wasn't for Space Dandy there wouldn't be any "100% want to watch" show.
Will check the odd Nobunaga thing, otherwise I have no idea, nothing seems interesting, most likely there will be one or two shows I'll end up catching up because they will be decent, but still.

Good thing there's still, Log Horizon, Kill la KIll, Yowamushi Pedal, Samurai Flamenco, Gunpla and Hunter x Hunter airing.

Why would I like Shinobu when basically every other character is her better?

I thought Buddy Complex is the one that makes it self to be a must watch, while everything else, seems like it might be worth waiting to see peoples reception after the first episode, third episode, and fifth episode. Even for Space Dandy, receptions been slightly mixed even.

After Valvrave and others snoozefest by Sunrise I tend to be more skeptical, Buddy Complex could be one of those show I'll end up catching up though.

That's because there are two types of people in this world: people who recognize that Space Dandy will SAVE ANIME, and people who are WRONG

So here are my very, very brief thoughts on what caught my eye in winter season based on what I read and watched. I didn't add the title of the show to keep things fresh and fun!

Yuuya and Mitsuki move in together after their parents get married. However, Mitsuki is possessed by a ghost that’s in love with her new stepbrother and threatens Mitsuki that she’ll die unless she helps her experience love with him.

How lewd.

Aoba’s suddenly attacked by a giant robot and soon after becomes a robot pilot fighting in a war alongside his classmates and a strange young man who he shares his destiny with.

What a strange title. Love Complex, okay, but friend complex for a mecha show. Huh.

The East and West planets were once connected, but their link was severed and they proceeded on their own. After a long period of war, the West planet achieved peace. Jeanne d’Arc is born and prophesized to save the world. Connection is reestablished with the East planet but it’s still in the grip of war, so she and Leonardo da Vinci travel there to find Nobunaga who’s said to have the power to change the world.

*head explodes*

Sequel series. The continuing lesbian adventures of a mahjong club and its futile quest to find Nodoka a bra that fits.

Interesting plot.

Kenji likes to believe that he’s a bad boy, but then he runs into a game-making club of girls far more out-of-control than him and gets forced into joining their club.

Oh boy, I can't wait for these wacky hijinks to ensue!

Sequel series. The continuing adventures of a bunch of melodramatic ninnies who for the first 1-3 episodes have imaginary overanimated battles.

Bwahahahaha.

Green Leaves Entertainment used to be a successful talent agency, but has lost every one of their clients. To save the business, they decide to create their own idol group from nothing.

So are idol shows the 'in' thing now?

Raku and Chitoge are the kids of rival gang leaders. The gangs come to a peace and the two of them are forced to pretend like they’re a couple even though they hate each other.

Oh. Hey. This seems like it has the potential to be a decent comed- [Studio: Shaft] Oh.

Humans and wizards live together, but due to the power of magic, there have to exist special courts for trying wizards according to magical law. Cecile has just become the youngest wizard barrister ever.

This. Looks. AWESOME.

Sequel series. The continuing adventures of large breasted women with fighting powers or something, and some random loser who can blow off pants.

Watch for the tits; stay for the tits.

The bloody eleventh iteration of Pretty Cure. This time based around desserts and dancing, because idols are the totally hot new thing.

Well, that answers my question.

And so ends my contribution for today.

You don't just look cute, you are cute.


I really enjoyed this. The outdoor backgrounds looks really nice, and the music and the slower pace fits the country setting. Don't think it needed that much senpai obsession though.

Still... I give it 4.5 Koma-plushies out of 5.

Oh my god, I forgot Seitaki Yakuinodono was back this season. Yes! I'll have a look at that, Space Dandy, Tonari no Seki and Wizard Barristers.

But first I'll watch Yamato and Gunbuster.
 
Yeah.
Shinobu is the best character and no one can deny that. NO ONE.

I guess I just didn't enjoy this as much as everyone else. It had its moments, almost all of which involved Renge, but overall I thought it was more depressing than it was endearing. Everything was like a sad version of what happens in every other SOL show.

Depressing? Sad? I don't even know where that comes from. It was pretty joyous.

It was like watching a video of poor kids in Africa playing soccer in a dirt field with a ball made up of plastic bags stuffed and tied together. Especially early on when Renge seems depressed about the idea of living in the country, and then they don't really go into that at all. I think if there was an episode or two where they took a trip into Tokyo or some big city I think that could have been really fun.

Only behind Hachikuji, only behind Hachikuji brother.
you better be kidding! lmao

The only characters who I could honestly say I don't like more than Shinobu are Karen, Gaen and Platform Shoes. The others entertain me more. I'm not a big fan of Shinobu, and as angry as this will make some people to hear it, I kinda feel like the author plays favorites with her.

Seriously, considering how much Otome the Creamhorn Lemonade spouts out "Love you", you'd think she'd fuck everything that moves.

And right after thinking that, she glomped a random old lady. I'd hate to see what she would do if she was paired up with Mana in hopes of ruling over everyone harem style.

I also thought Otome already had the goods needed for a special audition, but I guess not. And apparently there's going to be a two parter. Neat. Time to deal with the
Mizuki partnership

Thats what I think about Hanekawa, as much as I love her. Everyone, esp Hitagi, has suffered for the constant Hanekawa spotlight.
