I think it's time to finally pick up the manga, this Attack on recap is too much for me Lol. I did the same thing. It's well worth it. This coming from a guy who doesn't really ever read manga either.
So you can catch up on a years worth of o shit revelations, foreshadowing and more "oh shit"thrown in to con the reader into forgetting theyres still alot of core stuff that needs some exploration still.
Its worth a read though..

Just got into this season so way late . Valvrave another name for gundam yaya? Original shit. Yahari seems cool maybe.
|
Valvrave + Show Spoiler + I guess that Saki will get to live in the future? Its like we are seeing her in the future... She should have accepted "the wedding proposal" from Haruto... -_- ; although I like Shoko alot more!
Overall, still enjoyable ; although it kept repeating itself! ----- Enemy attack! Oh no, we are getting owned. Bam, a wild Valvrave appears and saves the day! ---- /repeat
And that Cain guy... if he had that kind of power, why the hell didn't he use them ASAP instead of dragging this 12 episodes...? Go in, kill everyone with immortal power, steal unit 01. There, easy! Maybe he enjoys his subordinates dying?
Valvraves can overheat, but they are still pretty much indestructible...?
Shingeki + Show Spoiler +Finally, defense of Trost is over. They milked it pretty well. Is the studio behind the anime small or something? They keep rerolling the same scenes over and over ; its like the Gantz anime
Devil Survivor 2 + Show Spoiler +For a moment, I thought : what if instead of getting a happy ending like most anime, we were to get an eternal loop/struggle? Hibiki and friends get to relive the events over and over!! Yamato wanted to remake the world, but Hibiki wanted to leave it as such... Maybe it would have been better than this happy ending. That said, it would appear they are not the same people ; nobody retained memory of the events... so in the end, all they've done was kind of in vain...? (Hibiki was like : You can't force change onto others)... but what Hibiki decided (let's leave things as they are, and let human work it out) is still kind of forcing an ideal onto other people (lesser of evil). From what I understood, the natural course of the world was its destruction after the trial.
That final battle (Yamato vs Hibiki) was more of a debate than an actual fight. A part of me died when he used the "friend" argument to try and make Yamato stop... so cliché? Or just dumb? Can't decide!
@Macross Frontier : At episode 5. So far so good. The animation intro (prologues) is pretty nice. The show, overall, is also pretty great visually.
Any new series worth watching? With Valvrave, Survivor 2 and Gargantia (tomorrow) over, I'll be left with only Shingeki (and Macross ; but since its a completed anime, I could end up marathoning it).

It isn't just the last episode, its been like this for weeks.

Maou-sama for laughs.
Yahari is quite good. Definitely not what I expected. Worth a try imo.
Aiura if you like fast and quick awesomeness.
Hentai Ouji if you want to embrace your inner lolicon.

Thnx, will give them a try!
I think I've watched 2 or 3 episodes of Hentai Ouji. But I wasn't attracted to it
Oh, and Last of Us (PS3 game) was pretty good. Not sure what to think of the ending -_-
|
Also, I know I've said it before but Ill say it again: Chihayafuru S2 is AOTY.
Season 2 like seriously blew my mind. Introduction to dozens of new characters that you can build a liking to quite easily *cough Megumi-chan*. Just full blown epicness and feels all over. How do you even do this with a fucking card game!
/fanboy off
|
Yo Karuta is more than "a fucking card game". I preferred S1, but S2 did not disappoint. Among characters, Shinobu is my favorite for sure.
|
+ Show Spoiler [OreImo 13 (end)] +Only amusing part of this episode was when we got to see the transformation of Kirino into an otaku. Other than that everything else was shit.
Oh except for the part where Manami was like "Nope". Hehe, that part was great. Manami-desu ganbatte!!!
|
"A fucking card game" wtf Emnjay. I thought you were my ally for once.
I think most characters they introduce in s2 + Show Spoiler +Like the Fujisaki team but especially Rion and Coach Sakurazawa do not shine properly until after where s2 ends. Megumu is an useless selfish bitch too + Show Spoiler +and I am glad she remains as irrelevant as possible so far.
As for favourite character, if we stick to the parts the anime has adapted then it's Shinobu and Taichi probably.
Past those parts it's definitively + Show Spoiler [spoilers for anyone who havent read pa…] +
|
Oreimo 13 + Show Spoiler +From Wikipedia, "An additional three episodes will be streamed online on August 17, 2013." So in those 3 aditional episodes will we get the "ending"? And by "ending", i mean "Kyosuke confesses to Kirino and they live happilly ever after".
Nerawareta Gakuen + Show Spoiler +I finished watching NG these days, everything seemed fine and dandy, except for the ending(and some unanswered questions).Seki returns, but without Kyogoku. So, Seki-Natsuki get a happy ending,but no happy ending for Kyogoku-Harugawa?
What kind of relation is between Seki's grandpa and Kyogoku's father? Seki's granddad seems to know Kyogoku's mom and seems so familar with her, like it was his own daughter.And if so, doesn't that make Seki&Kyogoju brothers? Just speculation and random assumptions.
And was it me, or that movie had a Makoto Shinkai "flavour" ?(except that most Shinkai movies have a bittersweet ending, while NG had more like a "true ending"(like the one you usually get in a VN, the type which is happier then a "bittersweet" one, but which is not 100% happy).
I just need to finish Valvrave and i completed the list for this season.
+ Show Spoiler + Date a live Shinkegi no kyojin Ore no imouto s2 Hentai ouji to warawanai neko Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru Photokano Hataraku Maou-sama
Added Railgun (i just finished A Magical Index S1/S2 and barely started Railgun S1) and Chihayafuru to my "watch in the future" list.
Personal favourites this season were Yahari/Maou/SnK.
I watched Date a Live for Kurumi/Tohka.
Hentai Ouji for, as Emnjay808 puts it, "Hentai Ouji if you want to embrace your inner lolicon."
I wasn't interested at first in Photokano, but after all the "don't watch it cause it's shit" talk,i couldn't stop myself.Be a rebel.In the end it was more like a weaker version of Amagami SS(like really really corny and cliche).Still,it was digestible.
Oreimo, because i want to see the end? Yeah, poor Ayase,everyone knew from the start that Kirino wins. no? On the other hand, won't that make OreImo a real "incest" anime? I mean, even in KissXSis, Keita and Ako/Riko aren't really blood related (his father remarried).Oh yeah, i forgot Yosuga no Sora (but that's a VN, altough they also have an anime made after it).So that makes 2 "real" incest animes?
Can\t say much about Valvrave yet (only 3 episodes), but at the moment i'm like "wtf".But i'll finish it and get back with my toughts.
|
Somehow I'm not surprised that Emnjay likes both "Megumi-chan" and "Manami-desu".

I think it's time to finally pick up the manga, this Attack on recap is too much for me Lol. I did the same thing. It's well worth it. This coming from a guy who doesn't really ever read manga either. Is it worth to read the chapters the anime has already covered (for manga extra content etc) or should i just start from the end of the Trost arc?
