Thoughts on Summer 2016
Anime Relations:
Rewrite, Nanatsu no Taizai: Seisen no Shirushi, Arslan Senki (TV): Fuujin Ranbu, Mob Psycho 100, Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Mirai-hen, Shokugeki no Souma: Ni no Sara, D.Gray-man Hallow, Berserk, Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Zetsubou-hen, Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Kibou-hen
Arslan Senki Fuujin Ranbu:
It has a strong start but the ending to the arc was painfully predictable and slightly underwhelming. It was still fun to watch. The cliffhanger at the end of the season made me wanting more. It's tragic that it only has 8 episodes. I need that season 3 ASAP! 6/10Berserk (2016):
I'm salty that they skipped the lost children arc. I can understand why they did but they really didn't handle it well. After the 3rd episode the adaptation was pretty loyal but direction was weak and CGI looked terrible. The constant clang sound effects really annoyed me. Although even with the amount of flaws with the adaptation I still enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to season 2. 6/10Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School - Despair Arc:
So happy seeing my favourite character Chiaki in anime form. Although I was terrified with what was going to happen to her. The early episode had some great comedy and the later episodes made me fall into despair. Some people thought the explanation with what happened was too BS but I was fine with it. Although that's probably because I had pretty low expectations to begin with. 7/10Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School - Future Arc:
This did a decent job at making me guess who the mastermind was. I really liked how this intertwined with the despair arc and gave development to the majority of it's characters. Even characters that I hated early on I ended up liking at the end. Only character I didn't like was Ruruka. Action was fun to watch. Although the ending was underwhelming with the mastermind explanation.7/10 Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School - Hope Arc:
Not the most satisfying ending ever but it was still decent enough. Seeing the characters come back for one last time was fun to watch. Based Cure W saved the day! 7/10D-Gray Man Hallow:
New art style was a bit weird at first but I got used to it quickly enough. Didn't care too much about the first arc but the rest was great. Kanda's flashback was definitely the strongest part of this anime. Sadly the animation was pretty weak which was disappointing. Ended pretty strong and left me desperately wanting more. Sadly the manga is so slow with it's updates that I can't find the motivation to pick up. Still a pretty decent sequel. 7/10Mob Psycho 100:
The first episode was pretty weak but it definitely improved from there. Mob is a great character and the rest of the cast was enjoyable as well. Fuck Reigen. Some people seemed to love him but I find him annoying and he really wasn't funny at all. Although he did improve somewhat in the final few episodes. Loving the art and animation in this series. Bones kept true to the art style which I really appreciate. Opening is my favourite of the season. 8/10Nanatsu no Taizai: Seisen no Shirushi:
Really meh. The only bits that was really worth watching we're the post credit scenes. Rest belonged in the trash. 5/10Rewrite:
Checked out the VN before watching this anime and I really enjoyed it. The common route stuff was about as mediocre as I expected it to be. I was hoping it would improve once we got into the anime original stuff but it didn't. It felt like a clusterfuck of ideas trying to combine different elements from all of the herione routes so the anime could stand on it's own but it really did not work that well. Art/animation were meh and CGI looked terrible. Anime Kagari was the best part of this anime. I'm hoping that the 2nd season will be an improvement. 5/10Shokugeki no Souma 2: Ni no Sara:
This adaptation is really fast compared to the first season but I'm still really enjoying it. These matches are pretty predictable but are still really exciting to see. The last few episodes were a breath of fresh air after the constant cooking matches we got. 7/10Favourite Opening
