Valvrave the Liberator

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Valvrave the Liberator
- Oh Sunrise, what has become of you…
- Basically just Geass x Gundam gone wrong
- The social networking stuff was a good idea
- L Elf is pretty sick, but his skills are too farfetched. After seeing Cain it's just even more wtf, but at least then you can see this series is not shooting for realistic at all
- How does Akira take a shit?
- Correction: Valvrave = Geass x Seed x g00 x Kojima's ZoE
- I severely underestimated this anime and have a stigma towards it for some reason. I think because it's actually a pretty good... See full review

The Severing Crime Edge

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Dansai Buri no Crime Edge
- Nice opening
- Underrated, good anime. Not amazing by any means, but still pretty decent and more deserving of recognition than it has.
- Syringe vs scissors…
- Kind of like a different iteration of Fate/Stay
- Anime-Koi (fansubs) y u so bad…
- Friend zone scene during camping trip xD
- Ho ho, dat unexpected plot twist when the noose judge is murdered
- Properly handled death, the value of a human life
- They censored a syringe medically taking out blood lol...
- MMM INUYASHA
- Ending... See full review

RDG: Red Data Girl

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Red Data Girl
- Lewl dropped after forcing myself through three episodes
- Just not interesting enough to slug through just so I can rate it low ———————————————————————————————— UPDATE: Anime-Planet has removed the Blog feature where this post was originally published on March 23, 2014. I pulled the scores from my ratings, although this is NOT a formal review. Think of it more as... See full review

Photo Kano

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Photo Kano
- Boring
- Surprisingly the characters were 'alright'
- Pretty cheesy but at least the guy isn't your stereotypical harem wimp
- It's a shame really, they could have made a fantastic hentai out of this anime
- One thing that really bugged me though: In episode 06, Niimi says she can tell Maeda loves her without him having to say it, but the flashback right after shows he admitted his love several times within the same scene…
- Eps 07 (hamburger girl) was better than usual. They def got some action under the stars lol~
- In eps 09... See full review

Karneval

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Karneval
- Eps 7 when the tank broke... the water physics were absurd…
- Bit too homo for my tastes, has its moments
- Feels like vampire knight in a few ways
- Gets better as it progresses
- Should have wasted less time at the start and allowed more time to expand on what happens later
- Perfect anime to recommend for LGBT
- Anyhow, the ending was okay albeit incomplete. Maybe there will be S2 or an OVA? You could have picked worse anime this... See full review

HENNEKO - The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko
- … after seeing episode 4 I'm letting this sucker rot in the grave
- Overall not that bad, I GUESS…
- Good art/animation style, they change the media in random inserts and even had the western style eye enlargement
- Why does the OP/ED kick Gargantia's ass?! :(
- Finished episode 7. I lied, back in the grave this pos goes.
- tl;dr: Take your worst love triangle, turn it into a harem and add some magical omnipotent wish granter into the mix
- The last two episodes were of a much higher caliber, but I... See full review

Devil Survivor 2 The Animation

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Devil Survivor 2
- bureau chief could have been done better
- bit cliche but Japan hasn't done this for a while (Eva OVA is basically ongoing milking so does not count)
- good way to gauge strength is the supporting cast, and they feel weak
- Abrupt transition from eps 4 to 5 after defeating Meruk and Hibiki dips
- Japan is the only place not consumed by the void…
- No indication of foreigners that had spirit potential fighting or coming to Japan...
- Lol, computer systems use japanese, english and french
- Backstory of Makato and Ronaldo was... See full review

Arata the Legend

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Arata Kangatari
- potential, but too cliche
- voice acting isn't bad, soundtrack overall is good
- really wish this got more money poured into, or a better director
- "annoying misunderstanding issue"
- 2 pairs of rival dualism is kinda cool
- Looks like Naruto has made eye trading a "thing" now -.- I do however like how the iris changes back
- Kadowaki broke out of the water prison so late when the spell released itself so long before
- LOL wtf, Kotoha climbed the fissure/mountain without help or gear np to hug Arata and so... See full review

The Flowers of Evil

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Aku no Hana
- protagonist is the viewer, we go from "Nakamura is f*cked up" to "oshit this is my true nature"
- Would have been more interesting to see how the plot unfolded if the classroom confession diorama showed the full message, especially since it would have 5 episodes left to work with
- Eps 09: Saeki coincidentally sees Takao's mom looking for him. Redeemed in the next eps when the police find them and Takao's parents' reactions.
- Archie comics
- If you abstractly graphed the relationship between "pathetic inner self" and... See full review

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Gargantia
- Production I.G. used all their budget this season and were left with subpar OP/ED songs
- The belly dancing was not shameless fanservice contrary to public opinion
- Convenient heart attack was terrible…
- So much potential if this was a longer series. Conflicts were resolved above average, but the series ending left much to be desired.
- Solid anime and I would recommend it (I actually have and received great feedback!), but not going down in history amongst my top... See full review

Attack on Titan

Jul 2, 2014

Spring 2013 Anime Review - Attack on Titan - Some things are just too farfetched...
- The pacing was a mess half way
- Most characters pose some sort of significance and have a personality, the former being more important *cough*Bleach*cough*
- The openings and endings are all fantastic. There are some animation short cuts Wit Studio used, but honestly there's just so much money thrown into this, to bump up a score of 9.5 to 10 in animation is far less important than feeding the nation of Africa, so it's all good. And If I had to nitpick with production quality in AoT, most other shows this... See full review
