Animu: Difference between revisions

Spring 2016 planning:

* Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

* The Perfect Insider

* The Perfect Insider (Everything Becomes F)

* Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

* Erased (Boku Dake ga Inai Machi)

* Shimoneta

* Snow White with the Red Hair

* Snow White with the Red Hair (Akagami no Shirayukihime)

Other possible things:

* Ore Monogatari (25)?

** I think this has merit (currently have watched 17/25 episodes), though it is the slowish/sentimental sort, so would be improved by careful slot planning. It's nominally romance I suppose, but I'd say "storytelling / character interaction" is a better description of its primary feel. --maxb

* Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

** I've only seen the 1st (double-length) episode so far, but I'm already considering it schedule-worthy --maxb

** Now five episodes in, I still rate this very highly. --maxb

** With two episodes left to go, we are still in the continuous flashback that began with episode 2. It's still a good series in itself, through perhaps I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't look like we're getting to see much (any?) of the continuation of episode 1. Or maybe there will be a S2? --maxb

* Nodame Cantabile (23+1,11+1,11+1)

* JoJo

Line 22:

* Barakamon (12)

** Seems promising, based on reading a review. --maxb

* Winter 2016 options:

** Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

Or maybe there will be a S2? --maxb

* GATE (24)

** The pacing of the initial few episodes was a bit slow. However, it really got enjoyable after that, and as we move into the second cour, it's really showing promise. Also, intrigue. Explosions. Dragons. The most hilarious military character ever. I think it's a candidate. --maxb

** I'm impressed - they actually pulled off a good concluding episode that felt like an appropropriate narrative stopping point, even though their adventures have only just begun. --maxb

* Snow White with the Red Hair S2 ?

* Snow White with the Red Hair (Akagami no Shirayukihime) S2 ?

** Four Rhythm Across the Blue (蒼の彼方のフォーリズム)

*** This was a show in which the plot was almost entirely constructed from standard anime cliches - and yet I still enjoyed it a lot. It's all about the characters and their emotions. And the art and OP/ED music is good too. --maxb
