Spring 2012 Anime Season: First Impressions

First Impressions Spring 2012  

Well it’s time for another season of new shows. This season there are a ton of new shows so there is a lot to get through. So lets get right to it. These are my first impressions on the spring 2012 anime season. 

Final Thoughts: Winter 2012

Final Thoughts Winter 2012

As time goes on, another anime season comes to an end. Funny story, the site where I usually watch all the new shows for a season went down, I assume not surviving the fall of Megaupload. So I had to scramble to find any sites that would still have all the shows I had been watching, fearing I would have had to drop all the good shows I had come to love this season. Turns out I was fine, and all the shows I did end up dropping I realized I was going to drop anyway. So anyway, to the reviews! Like last season, there are a few shows going on through this season, so I will give a quick update on what I am watching. I’m still keeping up with Hunter X Hunter, it is a great show keeping up really well with the manga. I am a huge fan of the manga, so I am impressed with how they are adapting it so far, and now that they are past the Exam arc, the real story is going to start, and I am so excited.  I’ve been watching Tokiko too, and while I haven’t been reading the manga, I am still excited for the next step of the grand food adventure. Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki, a short three minute show about a round cat, has stolen my heart and has quickly become my favorite show if its type. It is just a perfect three minute show, great characters, nothing complicated, and not only one joke, which is really impressive. Mouretsu Pirates, the one with the pirates in mini-skirts, is by no means perfect. But it is fun, and I really like the characters and the art design is still really fun. I am also watching Sket Dance, a show that hits that perfect niche of anime for me. Fun characters, good comedy, and just good people doing good things, everything about the show just makes me smile, or in the case of its more serious and somber moments, tear up. And then there is Knight in the Area, a fun soccer anime, which seems to be something I am slowly getting into. And now, for my final thoughts of the shows that ended this season!
