Review: Kimi to Boku

I’ve wanted to write this review for a while since Kimi to Boku was one of my favorite shows in both 2011 and 2012. It didn’t get a lot of attention then, and I guess I can see why. It’s definitely not one of those popular series that can sell on pretty scantily clad women. It might be able to get by on scantily clad men, but there’s not much of that (sorry, whoever that turns off). Instead it’s a quiet slice of life/comedy series with 5 teenage guys. That deviates from the normal formula of 4 girl slice of life show, but it’s actually quite good and for many reasons better than the regular formula. Of course if you’re expecting something totally manly and/or boyish, this is definitely not for you. If you can get past that these guys aren’t like that, though, it’s a very enjoyable show!

Pluffei’s Top 12 Anime of 2012

It seems the end of the year is nearing, and so passes another year of anime. Frankly, this was not a strong anime year for me, and I struggled a lot towards the bottom of my top 12, just because those shows actually felt pretty mediocre. Nonetheless, here I am, jumping in the bandwagon and doing a follow-up of this year’s top anime series. These are only out of the shows I watched this year, so if I missed a great show, I’m terribly sorry, but I probably didn’t watch it. (Gonna put it out there now, but I didn’t watch enough of Fate/zero to formulate a good opinion on it, which is why it’s not here.)

Anyways, without further ado, let’s dig in! Itadakimasu~ Continue reading »

Kaushik’s Top 12 Anime of 2012

Dec 152012
 

So 2012 is nearing to a close, and so are the anime series that have started (and ended, mostly) in this year. I was wanting to take a retrospective look on the anime this year, so I’ve compiled a list of my top 12 anime from this year, from 12 to 1. Without further ado, let’s begin~!

12. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

Making number twelve is a show from the current anime season. I usually don’t like to pass judgement on series before they’re done, but I’ve really been enjoying this show. It’s a shoujo show, but it definitely feels a little different than the generic shoujo that’s put out every once in a while. Refreshingly, the two main characters are blunt and honest to the point of being a little crazy, and it’s fun to watch. The heroine, Mizutani Shizuku, is mega-cute and is definitely one of the top girls this season. Shoujo generally gets the short end of the stick when it comes to anime, but surprisingly 2012 has been a fairly strong year for shoujo in anime, as you’ll see with the rest of the list.

Happy Independence Day everyone! So the season ended a while ago, but I didn’t figure to write this until today. Why? Well, I figured I’d eventually write reviews for all the anime I’ve watched, but considering my endless list, that’ll take forever. Plus, there’s no guarantee that I’ll even want to review some of the stuff I watched… So I decided to just jot down some of my thoughts on the anime I watched this season. Therefore, major spoilers alert! You’ve been given fair warning…

Alright, so this week I’ll be covering the spring anime season. Not everything, just what I’m watching. Though that’s more than I expected, it seems. Anyway, not everything I’m watching has aired yet, so I won’t offer too much on those shows, but I’ve watched the first episode on everything I wanted to watch that’s out, so I’ll mention what I think about those. Well, without further ado, let’s go~
