Spring Anime Review
Jul. 14th, 2018 08:23 pmIt was a good season, although I'm disappointed that Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku didn't end up on Crunchyroll. I guess I can just get the manga that just came out in English anyway.
As for the rest:
As for the rest:
Card Captor Sakura: Clear Card - Loved it! Yeah, most of the episodes were filler and the ending wasn't very conclusive, but I'm like 95% certain that we'll get another season when the manga is closer to actually ending, so it didn't bother me that much. I just enjoyed seeing all these wonderful characters again!
My Hero Academia (continuing) - Seriously keeps getting better and better!
Major 2nd (continuing) - There were actually two baseball anime this season, and of the two, this one seemed more suited to my taste, so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did because I totally loved it. There's something almost nostalgic about it, even though it's set in the modern day. Maybe because it's a sequel to an older manga series, Major? But absolutely no knowledge is needed to enjoy 2nd, since it's focused on the kids of the main characters of the original series.
Comic Girls - Yet another "cute girls doing cute things" type of show, but it really was cute! A little more fanservice-y than these shows tend to be, but it didn't bother me. Still really funny and, well, cute!
Idolish7 - Just a few episodes carried into this season (although there was a small break in between), but, yep, definitely the best idol show I've seen. I'm happy to hear the news that there's going to be another season!
Full Metal Panic: Invisible Victory - I was really looking forward to this, and it was pretty good, but it definitely didn't need a recap episode every fifth episode. It was also a bit disappointing that most of the season focused on new (though pretty interesting) characters instead of my old favorites. It ended at a weird point as well (probably because of the recaps), so fingers crossed we'll get more at a later date. I want to see the end!
Cute High Earth Defense Club HAPPY KISS! - This sequel series introduced a new group since the old group graduated in the OAV. I liked the new characters okay, but the original group had more chemistry and more distinct personalities. Still, a pretty fun show!
Darling in the FRANXX - Eh. It started off pretty well last season, but definitely lost steam along the way. Didn't help that there were a couple of episodes that consisted of the seiyuu just talking about the show instead of an actual episode. I believe one of the seiyuu was diagnosed with a serious illness during taping which might explain why that happened, but the show had bigger problems than that...namely that the whole backstory just didn't make much sense and the leads lost pretty much all their personality when they became an official couple.
As for the summer season, there are slim pickings when it comes to new shows. I'll be watching the continuations of My Hero Academia and Major 2nd and the new seasons of Free! and Attack on Titan, but the only new series that has caught my eye is Holmes of Kyoto. Oh, well, I guess it'll give me a chance to watch some of my backlog, which is nice.
