Now that series from this season is ending, time for some short reviews.

Date a Live II (7/10)
Story - 6/10
Character - 7/10
Animation - 9/10
Sound - 8/10
Enjoyment - 7/10

Not as good as the first season, plot-wise, nothing that important or memorable. New characters are meh, took too much spotlight from the Favorited characters of last season. Animation and OST/VA are pretty good.

Selector Infected WIXOSS (9/10)
Story - 8.5/10
Characters - 7/10
Animation - 10/10
Sound - 9/10
Enjoyment - 10/10

Series took a slow start, but once a twist happen, everything about the series picked up. Characters were decent, there is some incest (Incest in Wincest) Animation is spot on and I enjoyed the first OP. Most underrated series of this season.

Nanana Collection (8/10)
Story - 7/10
Characters - 9/10
Animation - 8/10
Sound - 8/10
Enjoyment 8/10

The plot could use some work on. It's pretty god, but it felt confusing at time. The characters however are really fun, best thing about this series. Animation and OST/VA was pretty good.

Akuma no Riddle (7/10)
Story - 6/10
Character - 7/10
Animation - 9/10
Sound - 8/10
Enjoyment 8/10

The story was good, yet very predictable. Each episode gets a bit repetitive, but some were more memorable than others. Characters were good, but their development in the series was bad. Art was really good and had a different ED every episode, each representing a character.

Kawaisou (9/10)

Story - 8/10
Characters - 10/10
Art - 8/10
Sound - 9/10
Enjoyment 10/10

It's a funny slice of life series about living in a complex with very unique characters. It's extremely funny, and like most slice of life, the characters are amazing. Nothing extremely well done in the art, but really gets it's job done. OST/VA was really nice.


MORE TO COME.

I don't think DAL2 was worse than the first season, especially not in terms of plotline. While both of the plots were downright objectively bad, DAL2 at least offered an interesting conclusion arc and new character dynamics as opposed to the first. In the first season, it's just
Spoiler
Shido dating a bunch of girls and then his sister. Only memorable part of the entire first season was Kotori being revealed as a spirit tbh.


As for DAL2, while cliche,
Spoiler
We got to see enemies become allies (Kurumi) and allies become enemies (Tohka) in addition to introducing a very hatable antagonist in Issac and his bitch. There really weren't any "antagonists" in DAL you could really hate and want to see dead. Kurumi and Origami both are the closest there are, but even then Origami is the archetypal silent lover that everyone loves and Kurumi is the yandere that everyone's hoping will become tsundere. Tohka's inverse Spirit form was a great conclusion, but it should have lasted longer and not ended so simply as it did. The blatant fanservice of the Yamai twins and the yuri Miku kind of detract from it, but it was at least funny and interesting to watch. Each time in DAL that Shido sealed a Spirit it seemed really boring and uninteresting. He just spewed some monologue and then that was that.

Samurai Flamenco was popular due to the fact that it portrays our childhood dreams of wanting to be hero, but once it turned to another Power Rangers, it all went downhill.

Samurai flamenco sold awful in japan so its really not populat

Yeah I saw a lot of posts about that. I never started that, but I enjoyed watching the conversations about it xD

I watched like 2-3 episodes of Samurai Flamenco but I didn't like it.

That's around where I got to then dropped it.

I don't normally drop things though, I found the series to be extremely boring. I think this was the third series I've dropped since I started watching anime.

The only thing that is keeping me to watch it is the faint hope of "ok, telling from the end of this episode, i THINK it seems like it will pick up off the ground next episode..."

Mejico Josh 06-22-2014 12:34 PM

The only show i have ever dropped is mahouka, i can be lenient with shows that entertain me but mahouka is boring with like ive already mentioned, crap characters


Let me also drop this in

I think once the story pans out more, the characters will be better.

I love the Man at Arms stuff, it's awesome seeing that stuff in real life.

One can hope but even then i find most of the characters just too overpowered in a bad way

Not really. The terroist episode where every character just breezed past everyone was the first episode ive seen this season. Just utterly pointless

Those terrorists had no power whatsoever, they were a bunch of normal people, anyone with a power would look insanely better against them.
