man thats awesome
 
I was thinking about trying Kamigami no Asobi since it's being made by Brains Base buuuuut it just looks like a man service show. 1 girl and 5 guys. I will avoid it like the plague.

Well, they got 2/3 right this time around.
 
Just finished Kamisama Hajimemashita (Kamisama Kiss). Pretty fun anime - I hope they make more of it (the manga it follows is much longer, and an important character from story arcs the show didn't touch upon was used in a teaser in the last OVA, so maybe...).

I'm thinking of watching the Madoka movies next (I watched the series last summer).
 
I watched the first episode of Black Bullet and the second episode of 悪魔のリドル. The former seems interesting, what with a virus infecting all of humanity, mutating some while granting special abilities to others, while the latter helped explain some of what was going on.
 
I watched the first episode of Black Bullet and didn't enjoy it. They set up a dark world and threw in comedy that fell flat. I don't know why teenagers are doing an adult's job or why the adult's are completely useless but it really just bugged me watching this. The world they are in and the comedy don't mesh well. You were just staring down death by giant spider, got lucky that you're strongest weapon (that you ditched by throwing off a bike) happened to be there and you're not scared at all, rather; you're more worried about the food sale going on down the street. I had a bad feeling when it said "If you don't want to die, survive" because that's on par with "people die when they are killed". Of course you survive if you don't want to die, that's what surviving is - not dying. Whatever, it just really bothered me for some reason.

Akuma no Riddle is getting interesting. Mahouka is moving at a snail's pace which is bad thing since the real badass stuff comes in Book 4 and above (they're still on book 1). Nanana's Buried Treasure was pretty great; Nanana was playing Terraria and Tekken, that was neat. Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is still really beautiful and the comedy is hitting all the right points for me.

Mekakucity Actors was fantastic though. I was worried it wouldn't be very good for an anime adaption but SHAFT made it work. I hope they do stick to the story used for the Light Novels/Manga instead of going an original route. Definitely seems like they have the style of the series in their grasp. Sort of a messy style but I like it.
 
Beginning Girls Und Panzer. I watched the first ep a while back and thought "I oughta get back to this one sometime", so thats what I'm doing. I've heard good things about it, and its only a twelver, so whats the worst that could happen?

Personally, I'd say Hyouka is the most visually beautiful anime I've watched. There's no badass action or anything of the sort, it's just really fucking pretty and the animation is smoooooth. I don't remember any points where I could tell they were slacking off to save their budget. There might not have been any to be completely honest. The story is decent, nothing over-the-top.
 
I just watched the first episode of the new Soul Eater Not anime that I have been waiting for a long time. I have read the first few manga, and I like how different it is fromt the parents series and the new perspective. The anime so far is pretty good, even if they did add an introduction that was never in the manga.
 
I read something interesting about Soul Eater Not. The original Soul Eater was the events of the story as seen through the characters (it sort of had an edgy and cool look about it) and Soul Eater Not is through the eyes of the girls (Everything seems less menacing, Maka's eyes aren't hollow-looking, etc.)

I haven't watched either of them, but it was something I read on reddit that I thought explained the differences in style when they're both from the same universe (and being made by the same studio I believe).
 
Yeah the original Soul Eater series is all pretty supernatural "Must defeaet the bad guys" feel while Soul Eater Not! is more of a school/slice of life story than anything, well at least at first. I am not sure about later in the series.
