Famitsu apparently gave the game a 40, which makes it the 9th title ever to get one, should make big enough of a splash along with the cast and developer aid it had to make it worth a niche. In terms of style though, we know no more at the beginning of Tsukihime than we do here, F/SN was the only one with a bit more explanation. I feel like it is fairly in keeping with t-m to do things this way.

Actually, I appreciate this. While I do occasionally glimpse in to the anime thread, I'm way too lazy to keep up with the page by page discussions, especially since most of them are about anime I haven't watched.

On another note, is it sad that the show I look forward to most on a weekly basis, is Saki? Granted it's the only anime I'm watching while it's running (since Eden is done for now), but I do watch a few tv shows, and Saki is the one show I download as soon as it's subbed.

The game wasn't technically developed by type-moon, right? And it has nothing to do with the universe... Why do you even categorize it along with FSN and Tsukihime?
As far as I know type-moon only did one small bonus scenario to the game, and the anime is not that similiar to either of those two.

Thanks, I guess I'll continue with this every season then... And about Saki, heh. Well, it has its moments, but the show is way too moe for me. After the big oppai girl blused for the 531th time and zooming into her big chest over and over again I couldn't take it anymore... I'm putting it on hold for now.

Awesome i was waiting for something like this. Phantom requiem for the phantom and eden of the east were pretty good, I"m not sure if it was you who did that last post but keep them coming.

Yeah, for the game type-moon only had one bonus scenario, but for the anime those two were touted much more so than the game advertisements had, so along with the character designs and all, I figured t-m had a heavier hand on the anime. Not trying to suggest that they are similar particularly, just that the way the story is told appears to be much the same - getting the settings up properly before questions such as motivation are covered. I am probably just used to this kind of stuff from the likes of Umineko though, making me far more tolerant of it than most would be.

Incidentally, did you watch Noir/madlax/whatever that third one was called? Those were by far worse if we look at the same line of complaint :p

Nice (p)review Shauni. I agree with the first two posts after the OP however... How the hell are you so good at SC when you watch this much anime :O. It's mind blowing.

Strangely enough, I didn't see Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-Chan!! when I was looking at the Summer Animes oO. Maybe I just didn't remember it.

Umineko is by far the most interesting anime that i have seen this season, although i havent started with Tokyo 8.0 and CANAAN.

It really has a similar atmosphere to Higurashi but not quite the same.

I've watched through every single summer anime title ( in raw no less lol ) and here are my picks.

Note all of these are just my views, don't be offended

Needless: Pretty good, kinda has a retro-ish animation style to it. It's old school shounen comedy action, however abit stale at times. I'd rate it at a B-

Kanamemo: I really liked this one, not only because of the super voice cast including eri kitamura, horie yui, and the tsundere queen herself rie kugimiya, but also the lack of any serious plot makes it great to watch after 1a2a3a'ing down a few of the more boring animes. I give it an A-

Canaan: Never played the game, was it called 428 the game or something? The anime adaptation was good overall. Liked the gunfights and animation sequences, but animation quality really dipped on non-fight scenes. B

Princess Lover: For a harem comedy, I was surprised to see a decent action sequence in the first episode, and the sword fight scene was pretty well done, other than that, nothing special. C+

Spice and Wolf II: A series I have watched since the first season, pretty boring when they talk trade, otherwise enjoyable when Horo turns on the tsundere mode. B

Umi Monogatari: At first, i thought it was going to be another Aria ripoff slice of life anime, boy was i wrong. Turned out like a mahou shoujo-ish comedy. Was planning on dropping it, until i saw the ending song and sequence, which was done beautifully. Only really good thing about this anime is the fanservice and the animation quality. C+

Fight Ippatsu! Juuden Chan!!: Peeing girls, tentacle raep, and hitting girls with bats. 4chan would be proud. However, really poor animation quality = C-

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou: Got me hooked on the classically modern-ish opening song and sequence (is that even a word?). Has alot of potential, definitely a keeper. Cute girls too. B+

Taishou Yakyuu Musume: Taishou era japanese girls playing baseball? Let's call this series K-on! baseball edition. While K-on! was really enjoyable, this series is just too similar for me to enjoy without fast forwarding through. The epitome of meh~ B-

I'll catch up on the rest after i finish encoding for my group, damn backlog. I swear its all the TL's and TLC's fault >_<

Yeah, but the thing that differ is that those were made by Bee-Train and they're a lot slower storywise and the focus isn't on the action. It's true that Noir doesn't explain anything, but the reason why it didn't get boring or frustrating for me is that the atmosphere and music was very good. Things are more chaotic and they switch scenes a lot in CAANAN, more like a live action movie. At least that's my perspective if you compare now.

Kanamemo: I really liked this one, not only because of the super voice cast including eri kitamura, horie yui, and the tsundere queen herself rie kugimiya, but also the lack of any serious plot makes it great to watch after 1a2a3a'ing down a few of the more boring animes. I give it an A-


When I realized Rie was in the cast, I accidentally lowered the score... I think we have opposite tastes.

I would have agreed with you for Kanamemo after watching just ep1 (I was really surprised by Haruka, the drunk character, omg), but ep2 was way better imo.
Haruka cuts most of the crap, so the anime is more normal, i guess.

I really love Aoi Hana so far (waiting for subbed ep3 !). I've been waiting this one for like 2 months and I'm not dissapointed at all. Very promising anime.
But yeah, you have to like Shoujo-Ai/Yuri to really enjoy these two animes...
