Dog Days, omg no

First it was the striking colours that makes my eyes bleed.

Then it was the protagonist, apparently a normal human, doing all the superman acrobatics because it's athletics.

Then he got summoned into a world full of Erios and Caros.

Then the war is JUST A FUCKING GAME.

Then he said that ^

I'm sorry, you've hit my bullshit threshold.

Nichijou 01 was... meh

I laughed exactly once in this entire episode. It was when the blue haired girl got tricked to press the fire alarm button that prompt the entire school to evacuate the building. And it wasn't exactly an LOL moment... I gave it a chuckle. That was it.

Like I've predicted in the season preview, I'm not going to enjoy this series. Either the jokes are really un-funny or maybe I just can't appreciate the kind of humor.

Still, it did manage to prove how KyoAni can make such a simple series into such high quality (animation wise). Did you see how fluid the movements are in the OP dance? It would have been FABULOUS, if I really did enjoy the show.

I might give it another episode to try if I had the time, otherwise that's all the Nichijou there will be for me.

First Impression: Dragon Crisis!

Well, I was wrong. I thought that a clingy Kugimiya Rie stereotype would be cute (like how Chobits would), but I've forgotten how irritating Shana could be.
Screeching "Ryuji" endlessly doesn't help either. Unless Dragon Crisis has the kind of depth Toradora has, it's hard for me to like another tsundere loli voiced by Kugimiya Rie. With that said, Dragon Crisis is fucking irritating.

It doesn't help that the male is someone who always get dragged around either. I like Eriko and the newly introduced Magura, but I doubt they can bring the story very far. The setting isn't very interesting either. It's a world with plenty of magical artifacts that people can fight with, and there's dragons who could take human form. That's about it... nothing new here.


Wuss Face.
I didn't like the animation style (too bright, characters not detailed) nor the music. The reason I stuck to it for 4 episodes is due to Eriko and I wanted to see what the plethora of female supporting characters can bring to the show, but seeing the direction this show has been going I doubt they'll be worth it.

Dragon Crisis: Dropped

First Impression: GOSICK

Victorica is the only thing that sells for GOSICK.
I'm being totally honest here, because the only reason I've watched the second episode is because of the moe potential that Victorica has. Unfortunately, I can't say that her character appeals to me very much either. She's brutally cold in the face of the murder and seems to have very little life in her. Her presence in the show is barely felt until the male lead makes an observation about her or her start making snide remarks. Or when she steal the show by unraveling the rather bland mystery that's going on.

There are times where she can cute or dere but that's all she sells to me as a main lead. The male lead is boring and so is the plot. There are a few redeemable point of the show but I cannot say that they make the show worth my time in the end.

GOSICK: dropped.

First Impression: Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janai Dakara ne!!

You know, I did kind of enjoy the manga. It wasn't very funny but it does keeps you entertained for a while. To me, it's one of those manga where you flip through the pages quickly so that the humor quickly adds up to actually make it funny. Does anyone else feels this way?

When you put it into anime format, you can't do that; the slow pacing of the show makes it hard for me to laugh because there really isn't one joke that allows me to do that.

Well, I didn't actually even finish the first episode. Nao's monologue in the first one minute of the series gave me the creeps and I struggled to absorb what's going for half an episode before giving up.

The brocon anime which name is too long for me to remember: Dropped.

First Impression: FREEZING

Well, it totally feels like another Queen's Blade. Although the story stayed pretty faithful to the original storyline, it seems like the anime adaptation had a different focus; which is to provide as much eye-candy as possible, which translate to losing as much clothing as possible. I'm not saying the manga is relatively tame in the stripping of clothes, but I can see that the manga tries to buy the audience mostly with the action than the ecchi content. I guess the anime has got to sell on the ecchi scenes because the low budget doesn't really cater for high-quality fight scenes.

And lets not forget that the girls can easily regenerate their clothes on a whim. I guess decency isn't really an issue for the girls here, even if they had time to laugh and gloat over a defeated opponent.

Freezing: Dropped.
