You Name It, We Watch It [[New Anime Reviews]]
Revitalize the anime section, you say? Ha! Nope, not a chance...or is there? It's deader than a door nail in here most of the time. I'm thinking it needs something new...so here you have it, an attempt to give it a bit of new life!
Welcome to 'you name it, we watch it' a new/seasonal anime review center of sorts. Want to know whether something that's just cropped up is worth a watch, but don't have the time or energy to invest if it isn't? Ask myself or one of my lovely associates to watch it for you and plunk a review here. Of course, you don't have to take our word for it, we'd love to get input from others. So, if you've seen one of the shows that someone has listed, or you disagree with one of our reviews, feel free to post your own for folks to peruse. Note: We will not be reviewing anything that aired before 2011. We will, however, rec things that have aired prior to 2011 if you ask us to do so. ::The Team:: Name: Seridano Age: 22 Favorite Genre(s): Mystery, Fantasy, Historical Least Favorite Genres(s): Horror, Slice of Life, Hentai Favorite Anime: Black Butler, Saiunkoku Monogatari, Level E Name: Codette Age: 21 Favorite Genre(s): slice of life, horror, action, school life Least Favorite Genres(s): nothing I don't really like Favorite Anime: Elfin Lied, Shugo Chara, Umineko no Naku koro nii Want to be on the team?

::Reviews:: Coming soon from Seridano: Sukitte Ii Na Yo, Amnesia, No.6, PSYCHO-PASS Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic |
... Magi.
You'll recognize me soon. xD |
Baha, already do. <3
|
I'm actually interested in this. I don't have anything to suggest, but that's precisely why. I never really catch new anime now-a-days like I used to.
I just end up rewatching my classic favorites. Good luck in your endeavour. |
Lol i was about to recommend magi xD
i really fell for it for now<3 |
I just caught up with Magi (minus one episode, I think?). I'd like to recommend Sword Art Online and Shang-Ri La.
|
I haven't watched Magi but I see commercials for it. I've been watching Amnesia, which came out earlier this year though.
New anime... For this year I only know of: ~ Amnesia ~Karneval (This hasn't aired yet) ~ Love Live! School Idol Project ~ UtaPri season 2 (hasn't aired yet) ~ Hetalia The Beautiful World and...mm... those are the only ones i've really paid any attention to/have heard of for this year so far though i've glimpsed some others, i just don't remember them. |
tatami galaxy have you seen it also summer wars is a good movie

But really, I haven't been too in tune with these things the past few years. Because there seemed nothing worth tuning into. |
Biggles - I had the exact same thought when I embarked upon this project. In fact, that's why I decided to give this a whirl. New anime rarely gets the credit it deserves. There are some gems out there and, sure, you have to wade through a lot of crap pandering to the masses to find them, but that doesn't mean that they aren't being released.
First review is up, though it is, admittedly, a bit brief. Will probably bulk it up later. Let me know what you guys think / if there's anything I ought to add. |
I am currious if you can review Sword Art Online. I don't have much time to watch anime and I want to know if it's anywhere as good as .hack//sign which I was an avid watcher of. If it's any good I might add it to my list.
I hope we are allowed to ask for reviews. |
Amnesia's been finished for a bit now. i have to say while the art is really nice, i was a bit disappointed by the anime adaptation.
i think i'll just leave it at that since I can see that you'll be reviewing it eventually Seridano? |
@Mina - I plan on giving it a watch with the bf at some point, so a review should crop up eventually (by which I mean: yes, request away!). Anywho, I imagine it'll be tought to keep from comparing it to .hack//sign, since it was one of the first anime's to really grab my attention and keep it. Will let you know wat I think of SAO and how compares to .hack//.
@Aoi - I loved the art, though I was a bit disappointed by the overall story (especially where the ending was concerned). There was one moment that made me feel that everything had come together and been worth it, and then they kept going and essentially undid all of their own hard work. In short: concept - great, execution - meh in most cases. Though, as far as otome game adaptations go, it wasn't terrible. Anywho, review coming soon-ish (once I've stopped being lazy). |
I actually had a bit of a rage moment when I realized they only gave Kent one episode, haha. But yea i did think they could have done a better job with the execution. the majority of us just wanted to wring the heroine's neck she was so useless >.> But I can understand with this specific otome game the difficulties they probably had considering the different paths and such. it's very different from the Utapri ones.
it'd be nice to see what they could do if they make a second season...though i really don't know how they would make that work :/ |
Attack on Titan.

@Aoi Kazuya
Dude! I freaking loved Amnesia altho i was a little peeved with the ending! If you know what i mean <_< @onsenmark I just started watching this and its only what 5-6 episodes in? And im hooked O_O..i cant take waiting week after week for a new episode to air, i want to know what happens! I also hear theres a manga? maybe ill read <_< But.. id rather watch it omg |
Hey, hey. I found another thread of yours. xD
I'd like to suggest/request, Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss. While both of them are based off of their game counterparts, the reason I suggest them to be reviewed is because most people have never even heard of the games, and therefore don't know the anime exists. Both series are already completed, but they were finished sometime last year. Tales of Symphonia have the most recent ending, only seven or so months ago. Apart from that, I'm here to stick around... chat. And possibly use this to help me get into some more anime. |
Oh, hey, you changed your name!
Anywho, will toss it on my grand master list (which hasn't been posted here, because holy balls is it long), and get to them as soon as a I can. Might be a while though, between the rest of the list and Anime Boston prep. But, yes, do stay and chat, dear. I enjoy having you around. ^.^ |
Yes, this is the username I have on every other avatar site I've ever been on.
Crysandrea, Gaia, Ernya, Solia, Roliana (which I haven't done much with)... and now here. It was my mule's name, but I wanted to change it. So now my mule is Stalker Cat, and I'm Martel. ^ ^ And OMG!!! A friend of mine is going to Anime Boston and I wish I could go too, but I have NO MONEY!!! Dx I couldn't possibly even afford to go for one day. I am broke right now.[cry] |
Could it be that you're a fellow Masshole? O.O
|
Rhode Island actually, but I live close to the line that separates RI from Mass. So... yeah.
However, I did live in Swansea, MA for twelve years before my mom and I moved into an apartment complex in RI, so she could be closer to work. Actually, it was really more like ten-eleven years, but close enough. |
Close enough. I kept looking at the map tracker thing jelly put up and thinking 'where are my fellow Massholes, it lists 8 of us!'
Maybe next year we can gather nearby New Englanders and do a 'Mene hits AB or CTCon' type thing. |
That would be pretty cool. Hopefully next year I'll have saved enough to be able to go. I have yet to go to a con, but I really want to.
|
This will be my first year at Anime Boston. In previous years I've hit Connecticon (as it used to be cheaper, though I believe they've raised their prices to match AB this year).
