Dear lord. One piece is such a fucking garbage show now. It was decent to good before the whole remake bullshit but now, shit looks really fucking retarded and they waste 3 episodes on nothing.

Haven't watched the anime in sometime, but I have been keeping up on the manga. Let's just say in the latest arc, there is one hell of a plot twist.


And this series has over 700 volumes and has been going on since the 1990s. It makes DBZ look short, and that's saying something.

WAD ANNOUNCEMENT: The next WAD will be cancelled for the time being, and will continue in 2 weeks. The reason for this is simply because of the fact that spring season is starting this coming week.


On to more general stuff... Today when I came home, I sat down in front of my computer, and thought to myself "I should finish Nobunagun today, and then maybe watch some more Hyouka". Well, turns out I didn't do any of that, because I happened to find a 720p version of Rebellion (third Madoka movie)! Still all wound up after it, but here are my thoughts on it (spoilers are marked):

Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 3: Hangyaku no Monogatari

I'm a little leery of the upcoming Season 2 of Psycho Pass. I really liked how the first season ended, and felt really satisfied about how everything turned out. Still though, it was really popular and when the demand is there, they're gonna go ahead with it regardless. I just hope it's written well, Season 1 had some seriously amazing writing and dialogue.

Also, really digging Bakemonogatari so far. I like the animation/art design a lot, it adds a feeling of emptiness to the overall atmosphere of the show. Plus, I'd never thought I'd be able to bear an episode of anything where all that happens is two Characters sitting in the park talking, but just the way the conversations between Senjougahara and Araragi flow makes it so interesting. You get such a wide range of emotions in these conversations, the writing can be witty and flirtatious one minute but take a dark and sinister turn the next. That's really great writing IMO, and by extension it makes the characters interesting and engaging. Thumbs up so far.

Well, Seitokai Yakuindomo 2nd season ended. Not really a plot filled show (based on a 4 koma manga), but the comedy is pretty good. Perverted comedy, but not the usual cliche panty flash due to wind or something stuff that's in every other series, just jokes and innuendo. Pretty funny! Hope it gets a 3rd season!

Finished rewatching Hyouka. I enjoyed it more than I did the first time, noticing little details I missed the first time. Would still recommend this show to anyone.

Just finished Hamatora and I agree with Savepoints, it ended up being a really good series. I doubt I'll end up liking any other villain this year quite as much as I did Moral. And on the ending:

Spoiler: click to toggle


Also of note, Hamatora was the first project to come from Naz, who's only other work to date has been to help in the production of the Danganronpa series. If they can keep producing shows of Hamatora's quality, they could become one of the better studios, and one worth special attention whenever looking up new shows. Their next series comes out this summer, DRAMAtical Murder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GlN_oxV4oI

Huh, I never thought of that for the ending... Maybe you're on to something there.

Also, that trailer looks pretty cool, so here's to hoping.

On a different note, these past few days I've been talking to multiple people about my habits of watching, and I've come to the conclusion that I should change some of these. For instance, one of the big ones is the fact that even if I don't really like a series, unless it's really bad, I won't drop it. I don't know why I do this though. Maybe it's because I want to see if it ever improves, or to be able to talk about it in a manner only those who watched the entire thing could. In any case, I should stop doing this, really, because as someone pointed out to me, "Entertainment is supposed to be entertaining". Might seem obvious, but apparently it wasn't for me. So yea, first to go was Mahou Sensou, at 6 episodes watched.

The second major thing was that while there aren't really any genres or tropes that I outright hate, and will make me refuse to watch something or lower the score of it, there is still the fact that I evidently don't like every genre. To be more specific, it comes down to SOL/rom-coms. I mean, really, look at my favorites and/or top-rated anime, and you'll see that most of them are pretty dark, with all of them having big supernatural or sci-fi elements. This is what I seem to enjoy the most, and as such it's not really a surprise that SOLs tend to bore me. In fact, I can find something really funny or cute, but it'll still bore me, because the only twists or anything of the sort to be expected is drama between the characters, which is also pretty similar from show to show. Because of this, I'm thinking of also dropping Sakura Trick (6 episodes watched), even though I think it's really funny. The chance that I'll watch episodes of it now and then until I finish it is rather small, seeing how many other shows I could be watching during that time, so only way I'd finish it is if I would force myself to do it.

This made me also think that I should probably sort out my list a bit. I had over 500 shows (515 plan to watch), because I simply add anything that looks even remotely interesting. So I decided to go through it and delete a bunch of different stuff. Deleted a lot of SOL/rom-coms, among other things, but decided to still keep the ones with bigger twists to them, shows I'd heard really good things about, or just shows with a score above 7.70 in general. Also deleted almost every harem and ecchi series on my list.
All in all, I only deleted 71 shows. It's quite surprising (to me), that I'm actually interested enough in these last 429 shows to actually watch them at some point. So just above 10% of my plan to watch list was deleted, which is still not that much, in perspective...

Additionally, as I was writing this post, I decided to drop 3 of the shows that I had on hold: "Ah! Megami-sama!", "Servant x Service", and "Lucky Star".

So yea, this will be a new era of anime for me, which I hope is more resembling how I felt when I first started watching, as opposed to later times, where I've seem to have spent most of my time watching relatively mediocre shows.

Maybe you should just watch Psycho Pass. Not even trying to be a pain in the ass at this point, it's an amazing series.
