2019 Winter Anime Review
Apr. 12th, 2019 12:05 amOops, it's been a while since I posted anything here! Well, here's my wrap-up of the winter anime season:
My Roommate is a Cat - SOOOOOOOOO CUTE! Honestly, this was the show I looked forward to watching the most every week. It's just so...well, CUTE! I want a kitty! And I definitely identified a lot with Subaru, the main (human) character. He's basically the male version of me (except I've always loved cats).
The Promised Neverland - This show was so good that it was almost tough to watch at times? If that makes sense? Like, it did a really great job at keeping the tension up, making you worried that their plans wouldn't work. Some stuff was a little eye-roll worthy, but still a great show, and I'm really looking forward to the second season next year.
Kaguya-sama: Love is War - This was a rare comedy that actually got funnier as the season progressed. You would think that a show about two people competing not to confess their feelings for each other first would become frustrating pretty quick, but, nope. And Chika is chaotic love.
Domestic Girlfriend - This was the show I most wanted to see this season. It started of really well, but became kind of dull in the second half. Honestly, with such a guilty pleasure premise (boy in a love triange with both his stepsisters, one of whom is also his teacher), the show should have leaned in a more soap opera-y direction. I'm still interested in checking out the manga, though. From what I've heard, they cut out a lot of stuff to fit into a twelve episode cour.
The Quintessential Quintuplets - It seems like it's been a while since I watched a traditional harem show, and this was actually a pretty good one. I liked the hook that while we know that Futaro will marry one of the sisters right from the beginning, since they're identical quintuplets, you can imagine the bride as whoever you like best. (Miku is the best, btw.)
Ace Attorney - Ah, finally more Mitsurugi! He didn't stay around the whole cour, unfortunately, but it was fun watching him play the defense attorney instead of the prosecutor. I also liked that the three cases covered by this final cour were all connected to Mayoi's family.
But, seriously, FRUITS BASKET!!!!!!!!
B-Project - Zeccho Emotion - Why was it necessary to add another band to the group? I could barely keep track of the first three! Not that it really matters, really. This season was okay, I guess, but nothing special. (After watching Idolish7, I'm apparently spoiled for boy band idol shows.)
Rinshi!! Ekodachan - The idea behind this series of shorts -- that each episode is produced by a different group of people -- was more interesting than the show itself, honestly, but it was pretty neat to see all the different interpretations and animation styles. I didn't bother watching the accompanying interviews.
Oh, and I was watching Sword Art Online: Alicization, but then Toonami started showing the dub, so now I'm just waiting for them to catch up with where I left off to continue.
Next season? I'm watching Fruits Basket. That is all.
Haha, no, that's not true. I'm sure there are some other good shows coming out... Well, maybe not on Crunchyroll. (So annoyed that Carole & Tuesday is a Netflix show!) I'll check out the third season of Bungo Stray Dogs and maybe the new show, Midnight Occult Civil Servants, but that's pretty much it other than Attack on Titan Season 3, which I'm sure Toonami will air. Oh, well, guess it's a good season to catch up with old shows. (Already started Haikyu!! and love it!)
But, seriously, FRUITS BASKET!!!!!!!!
