Little Witch Academias

One:

Two:

Funded in six hours.

Update: Now that I've watched the original, it's no surprise it funded so quickly.

Kotoura-san

Wow. Talk about mood whiplash. This show flip-flops between cheap sight gags and a brutally honest and realistic depiction of how people in such a (admittedly far-fetched) situation would respond.

I'll keep watching for sure, but it's leading the pack for most uneven show of the season.

Quicklings

Vividred Operation: At least they choose from only the finest cliches.

Tamako Market: That chicken/parakeet thing needs to go.

Kotoura-san: Much better first episode than I had expected. Could turn out to be genuinely good.

We Interrupt This Special Bulletin For A Program

So I'm on holidays for a bit, and I was planning on catching up on my anime watching between bouts of Minxing and spring cleaning. I've already assembled two new computers and a RAID array and fixed my old RAID array, so I deserve to relax a little.

On my to-watch list at present are:

Hidamari Sketch season 4
Strike Witches (all of it, haven't seen any)
Dog Days (again, all of it)
Mouretsu Pirates (watched the first few episodes, then got bushwhacked)

I've missed most of the past five or six seasons, so any suggestions from that time frame would be welcome.

The Melancholy Of Tari Tari Connect

With many sadnesses, I gave up on Moyashimon Returns after three episodes. It's just not the same.

What I have been watching is that show about the high school club with no clearly defined purpose that has two boys and three girls as members and one of the girls ends up falling off a bridge and/or horse and landing on her head but then gets better.

THAT are following both Kokoro Connect and Tari Tari if you are seeking detailed reviews. Well, mostly they're shipping for Inaban x Taichi and any girl x any other girl, but they post reviews as well.

Both shows are solid if not groundbreaking (though Kokoro Connect at least has that potential), but involve Japanese teenagers, so a default Category 2 angst warning applies.

My Little Zombie Can't Be This Cute

Sankarea.

What? No, I mean seriously, what? Spectacularly uneven show, a mishmash of romantic comedy, slapstick comedy, drama, tragedy, horror, harem, and fanservice. While it pulls off most of the individual elements pretty well, the whole is about as cohesive as a sack full of angry raccoons.

And worse, while it's clear that no-one involved had any idea where the story was headed, the events within the story are tiresomely predictable.

On the balance, I rate it two little zombie kitties out of four.

My usual sources, THAT and Sea Slugs, didn't touch this one, but Random Curiosity provided full (and warning, spoiler-laden) coverage.

Cute Pandemic

A trap in full gothloli costume gazing rapturously up at an industrial rice polisher? Moyashimon has Returned.

Um, yeah. I dunno.

Gender Blender

Kokoro Connect. This is the one that looks just like K-On! only with boys* as opposed to Tari Tari, the one that sounds just like K-On! only not with boys.

First episode was pretty good. If it continues this way, as a character-driven series circling around the McGuffin, it could be a standout, because the characters are generally quite engaging.

Music and animation are decent enough, if unremarkable. The character designs are fine, as are the voices, particularly Miyuki Sawashiro as Inaba. (She played Celty in Durarara!! and the landlady in Hidamari, so it's another unexpected but oddly perfect voice in the line of last season's girl-shaped space bee.)

So I'll be watching this one - assuming I don't end up dead again, which is not a given.

Now, when does Moyashimon Chronic start? Huh, Miyuki has a role in that too. Wait, it's already on? Why does no-one tell me these things?!

Episode 2 Update: Huh. It did an Immelman Turn when I was expecting it to zig. Interesting, though.

* Some.**

** Sometimes.***

*** Probably.
