Winter 2012-13 Anime Season Thread

Yup, though it was pretty annoying how long it took them to get to the right conclusion. Still like how they're moving forward. Also was episode 17 the last one?

I believe so. I haven't read the LNs, but going by the episode/LN titles episode 17 lines up with the last book.

Random question:
Can't remember the name of an anime. I think it's supposed to be separated into 4 or so movies, I only watched the first part and I think the second is out too now, dunno about more. Anyway, it was some s-f stuff, with a girl (a prostitute?) that was killed and they brought her back to life and her body has some enhancements and thingy-things power-ups now and she's smashing bad bastards left and right. I think at the end of first movie she was fighting a group of mutated/enhanced freaks and they all wanted a part of her body or something. Really hazy, but anyway - any clues?

Edit: Nvm lol! All I had to do was google "Prostitute brought back to life anime" and it found it D; And I wasted so much time typing this post It's Mardock Scramble, btw.

Nekomonogatari

I dropped Nisemonogatari because it had no plot.

Thankfully, this has plot. And I don't mean PLOT.

I actually think the plot of this series is fantastic when they actually focus on it. I hope they continue that trend here.

I liked the plot for nise, very subtle. I also loved the PLOT though, so my opinion may be slightly toothbrushed. I mean biased.

[Zilong]

the monogatari series remain the one of the very few series where i not only tolerate fanservice, but actually enjoy every second of it. I personally fucking love how they can just change the tension/atmosphere of the scene so damn quickly in neko, and the character banter is always fun as usual.

still, a lot of the part in neko and nise wouldn't make sense without prior knowledge of kizu though, which is kinda crap since they keep delaying it.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha Ep1
For the first episode of this show, I quite liked the look and design of the backgrounds presented, I’m expecting quite a bit more for future episodes, because, despite the few flaws present in this episode, the characters and story definitely have a lot of potential. The lighthearted, humorous tone of the story really worked here. Of course, there's barely any subtlety in it's execution, but that's hardly a complaint, since that's part of it's distinguishing appeal.

Overall I like all the visual designs, story and voice work.I also quite liked the shows opening with it's combination of visuals, colors and song.

that was a pretty fun watch, was kinda expecting her to do the slideshow, but changing the scenes to involve other characters seem to work better in introducing the other characters...wasn't expecting the half assed magician to have 2 sister/ally though

The "visuals" indeed

[Tymon]

Part 4 of Neko might be the best single episode of the entire series.

Makes me really want Kizu to come out.

Shinobu is such a boss, can't wait for Mayoi Jiangshi arc after Nekomonogatari: White

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I can't stop watching this.

Probably because you'd have to use both hands... to get a grasp... of the "economics"

I'm not sure but I think it's her titties.

@Ker Your sig has never been more appropriate.

All I know is I would've been eager to go to school if I had that wobbling at me every day, Economics or not.

Nekomonogatari

I dropped Nisemonogatari because it had no plot.

I was on the fence after Nisemonogatari (I watched it all, but I think it went too far for no real reason), but it's been about 25 minutes into the first two episodes and I fucking love this. Totally makes up for Nise in my mind, long as it keeps up.

[Vaspinne]

I thought Nise dragged on. 7 episodes for the first arc, 4 for the second, and after 6 episodes of buildup, the big confrontation is just a pleasant little chitchat asking the bad guy to go away. That was a letdown to say the least haha (I've never read the source stuff that this is adapted from, so I dunno how close to it was or stretched out or even condensed it was).

More Gahara-san though is always nice. Episode 12 from Bake is still one of my favourites.

[Zilong]

to be fair, all of the arc in monogatari are resolved through either talking, or araragi experiencing some level of bodily harm...

[Vaspinne]

I guess after 7 episodes of build up I was expecting bodily harm, lol
