Conqueror:
Uhh I should probably finish Madoka since I started it. I've been watching clips of Love live so maybe I'll watch the rest of the show.

Backlog is too big but if I ever get to it I'll probably start with Mushishi because it looks promising. Oh right, and I should finish FMA Brotherhood too.

Watch one episode every few days and start with the original 2005 series obviously.

The show was horrible imo.
Generic in a way that's not generic.

Have you ever wondered why the series is called To Aru Majutsu no Index, when Index gets less screen time than other characters and the latter is called To Aru Kagaku no Railgun when Misaka herself gets A LOT OF SCREEN TIME?~
I actually liked the Index series. Including magic. Othinus ftw!

Anyways, I just finished Black Bullet. T'was a whole lot better than I expected. I'll explain in a pseudo-wall of text.

I actually thought it would be some generic harem/action/rom-com/loli/sci-fi. I was kind of wrong.

The theme is post-apocalyptic events. The cause is an unknown virus. So one would think it's zombies....WRONG. It's insects, GIANT EFFING INSECTS.
Well actually there are also various hybrid monster animals, but insects pretty much dominate everything now. Humans are part of the low-tier in the food chain.

You get like a Guilty Crown/Full Metal Alchemist/To Aru hybrid. With less to no magic nonesense, more post-apocalyptic chaos and a bit of science.
It's actually ironic really, it's science-oriented, yet those giant insects defy the Square-Cube-Law.

It's like the To Aru series and those other 2 in a way since it's divided into arcs instead of the usual "intro-filler-climax-end" gigs most does.
Full Metal Alchemist? Well, you'll see once you read/watched far enough...Plus, there are a lot of deaths...a lot.
There aren't any fillers, since everything happens rather fast and straightforward. Which how I like mah non-generics.

I would say the genre should be around drama/action/sci-fi.

It's not the best anime of course, but it was the best I watched during last season IMO. And it's starting to rise in popularity too. Baka-Tsuki has now been getting numerous recent translations now.

That, and whoever the artist of the Light Novel is pretty top notch. But I liked the manga art style better. Hon Morino makes everything adorable. He also does Touhou fanart btw.



I rate it a carrot/10. I'm gonna write my review on it on MAL soon.

I dunno if Nisekoi was part of last season though, but if it was. That would be the best adorable one yet. Still it's generic rom com.

Edit:
Oh yea, I also watched Akuma no Riddle.

It was "meh" for the most part. I could've watched it longer if they gave more screen time to my Akuma no Waifu, Nio Hashiri.
Hainiryuun:
Currently watching: none as there arent really any summer series that are a must watch for me atm. Which gives me time to catch up on my VN backlog at least.

Anticipating: Grisaia no Kajitsu anime in the fall. My only fear is that it will fall well short of what is the best VN Ive ever read.

Current manga I keep up with: To-Love Ru, Nana to Kaoru, Kiss X Sis, Onii-Chan control
