[Review]Anime: Mekakucity Actors

Mekakucity Actors is an anime produced by SHAFT and directed by Akiyuki Shinbo. It is (I feel loosely) based on/part of the "Kagerou Project", by Jin AKA "Shinzen no Teki P", who I believe also wrote the screenplay. In addition to these things, it's an anime I wish I hadn't watched. I originally wanted to go in depth, but then I realized this would go on forever if I did that. Instead, I'm gonna do this like normal and hopefully that will get my point across. The plot is just terrible, with it's main problem being jack shit happens and few things are ever explained, and those that are, are explained poorly. The majority of the show takes place in backstory episodes, which are just kinda shoved in all over the place. Because of this the main storyline becomes something that's never there and you don't care about. Let me summarize the entire thing, it won't take long. Shintaro needs a new keyboard and goes to get one, getting caught in a

Anime: Stuff that I Dropped(general impressions)

I'm gonna "review" some anime I dropped that I didn't like. I'll explain why I stopped watching it and why I got as far as I did. Basically, this is an overview of what I saw. Chaos;Head - 5/12 What is this even?! Neptune Anime - 5/12 Booooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Coppelion - 5/13 It started off pretty good but eventually if devolved into complaining about nuclear power and how it's bad and will destroy the planet, melodramatic bullshit, and just an overall messiness to it. The characters were perfectly fine at first, but as time went on it was clear that while they may develop, they will not grow. This is a problem because of the fact that the only all that competent one is the main girl, Ibara. This is the kind of show in which characters need to have arcs, you can't rely on backstory and focusing on them for an episode or two to make them work. And there wasn't even much of that from what I saw. The characters thus end up

[Awards...?] Anime of 2013

It's totally 2014 now, so let's do this. BEST ANIMU OF TEH YEER Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S: Because Madoka dammit, that was great. There is no doubt it's the anime of the year, it was the one I enjoyed the most. It was fucking fantastic and the best sequel/second season to an anime I've ever seen. SECOND BEST ANIMU OF TEH YEER Little Busters ~Refrain~: Best "Key's Super Cry-Cry Time" since Clannad: After Story THIRD BEST ANIMU OF TEH YEER Attack on Titan: Highly original, and it's really popular but also good somehow. Downside is it tries too hard to be dark and dramatic. When you got what AOT had, you don't need to have a guy shoot himself, for example. Still really great and a good watch. SOME OTHER GOOD STUFF Gintama Enchousen: Aw yeah. Kyousou Giga TV: Very imaginative. Suisei no Gargantia: I just started watching is actually, but it's really good. Rozen Maiden 2013: It's Rozen Maiden. Kyoukai no Kanata: It's been a w
