Random Anime: Winter 09/10 First Impressions

So late!! Everything is already on episode 2. Dx Anyways, first impressions on the Winter season. Tbh, no shows really impressed me. I’m not hooked on any show. I’ll follow a few because they seem like they’ll get better, but no real one to squeal about. I’ll probably continue to follow the Fall shows. However, the one thing that does appeal to me this season are the numerous amounts of wonderful BGM. So I’ll be looking forward to tons of OSTs. :D

Hanamaru Kindergarten

It was definitely a cute and hilarious light hearted series. It was a lot more enjoyable then I expected (because I expected to just plain dislike it, haha). I have to say sometimes Anzu sometimes annoys me but I guess it’s inevitable. I love her friend Hii-chan (too lazy to remember her whole name). She’s just so calmly cool, and her neko costume is adorable. The different EDs are also very nice, and the main guy isn’t that bad. He doesn’t get on my nerves, so…he’s okay in my book.

So-Ra-No-Wo-To

I have to admit I was going to first say I was plain bored with it and didn’t like it. However, after I decided to watch the rest today (I watched it yesterday with distractions), I have to say it’s actually interesting so far! I like it so far. It has a different vibe than usual and it has a very interesting concept to it. Though I still think there are some K-On! rip offs, it’s already a lot more interesting than K-On!. I’m not a slice of life kind of person, because it usually bores me, but so far it seems like there’s more to it. Also, the BGMs are absolutely beautiful. I love the French BGM. The art for the landscape is also done impressively.

Dance in the Vampire Bund

Hmm…because I’ve never read the manga so far, I’m at a clean slate with it. I have to admit the beginning was boring with the game show, but it started getting interesting when I saw Mina. I’d like to see what’s going to happen in the future. It looks somewhat interesting…However, I’ve heard that it’s straying from the manga, so I’m afraid if that’ll be for the worse or for the better. I have a feeling it’ll be the former, but I guess we’ll have to wait? It was categorized as romance, so I hope to see some romance soon. Even though by the looks of it, it’ll be some boring romance.

Durarara!!

Uwah, one of the most anticipated by the season and I’m sure it doesn’t disappoint. I was searching so much for it, but I finally just watched it on crunchyroll. My favorite music of the season no doubt. As for the series, it has that mysterious feel and pulls off the urban feel really well. I really hope to see more revealed because right now I have no idea what to expect and what’s going on. XD But it looks good, and that’s good enough for me to continue. The characters are likable, and Kida is really a great friend character at the moment. So far Mikado seems quite the average character, so I hope to see lots of development. Overall, it’s really good, filled with awesome, and could possibly be one of my favorites for this season as well.

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu

Surprisingly enjoyable. Um…one of my favorite first impressions? I’d hate to admit that it’s one of my favs this season and I don’t know why. It just kept my attention the whole way through and it was pretty interesting and funny. So I liked it. It has an interesting concept that reminds me of a video game, though not quite. The chibis are so adorable! >w< The characters aren’t special, but they don’t get on my nerves either. Traps are awesome, pervert is hilarious, and I guess it’s just plain fun to watch. So maybe now I know why I liked it so much.

Ookami Kakushi

Lol this is exactly why I want to push her off a cliff. Is she rubbing her butt on him?

One of the biggest disappointments this season. Hiro is plain boring. I’d like to slap Isuzu off a cliff for being such a w***e. And the only characters I’m actually okay with are Nemuru (actually, she’s pretty awesome), the God which I’m pretty sure is Nemuru, and Kaname. Everyone else…blergh. The class is way too happy it’s suspicious as well. The only interesting thing was when over-happy-guy died. XD

Anyways, I’m most likely going to follow Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, Durarara!!, and Sora no Woto. I’ll also occasionally check out Hanamaru Kindergarten. So I’ll catch up on my Fall series when I can to follow more. I don’t know if I’ll blog any of these series, I’ll probably just go back to Kimi ni Todoke and try to blog YumePati once I catch up. And if any Winter shows I find are worth blogging I will. Or I’ll do random episodes that I want to blog. XD I’m still pretty unorganized.
