Have fun getting the bugs out of your hair later on. |
While ViVid Strike could have benefited from tighter plotting or a few more script revisions, it never forgot one thing that so many anime do forget: it’s not about the plot. It’s the characters, stupid.

Just wouldn’t be complete without some romantic overtones would it? |
Never straying far from the path, Bubuki Buranki gave us more of the same, just now improved

「羽ばたけチドリ」 (Habatake Chidori)
“Take Flight, Chidori”
I was expecting a few things this week. That shocker with Takami sure wasn’t one of them.

「瘯心の渦中で」 (Shishin no Kachuu de)
“The the Midst of Jealousy”

「やさぐれ千歳と腐った業界」 (Yasagure Chitose to Kusatta Gyoukai)
“The Apathetic Chitose and the Rotten Industry”
Girlish Number is the bleak, cynical version of SHIROBAKO. It’s an anime about an aspiring seiyuu that shits on light novel adaptations, pokes fun at otaku, and reminds us how messed up this industry is. I never expected to be one of the more thought-provoking shows this season.

「小さな奇跡」 (Chisana Kiseki)
“A Small Miracle”
More slice of slice than sports anime – like Yama no Susume and Bakuon!! had a college-aged baby.

「ぶっかけうどん」 (Bukkake udon)
“Bukkake Udon”
It’s the one Seinfeldism I find most indispensable for blogging: “It’s so nice when it happens good.”
