[Fall 2015] Season of Studying

[skreyola]

Sakurako-san's Bones ep. 11 - Could have been better, but still pretty solid. I wasn't feeling the three-sisters' drama, but the bits between Kujou and Shounen were pretty good. I wonder if they'll be able to wrap everything up in the last episode. The stuff at the end was the only reason I didn't give this episode 3 stars. 4/5

[skreyola]

Perfect Insider ep. 11 - That was trippy. Were they having that whole episode in the minipool VR pods? A lot happened, and I love-love-loved that story about Nishinosono-sensei. But a lot of loose ends were left hanging. This whole show was very pretty and well-designed, but the execution of it left me unsatisfied. 3/5 for the episode. 6.0/10 for the show.

GochiUsa2 ep. 11 - That was a great episode. Only a few rough spots, but the overall experience was very good. I groaned when they started the zombie segment, but they really pulled it off to be a stellar segment. 5/5!

Heavy Object ep. 11 - That was a good episode. A lot of character development in this one. 5/5

[skreyola]

StarMyu ep. 12 [Final] - That episode was okay. I wonder if it'll get a second season. The show was pretty good, and it was better than I expected, but I am not very excited about it. 4/5 for the episode, 7.4/10 for the show.

Hakone-chan ep. 12 - Good episode. Not much happened that was wacky, and the plot moved forward. 4/5

[skreyola]

Sakurako-san's Bones ep. 12 [final] - The story this week was a flashback, and it was pretty interesting, but the ending was awesome. Loved Shou's speech. A good way to wrap it up. After-credits scene was a little weird, but anyway... 5/5 for the episode, 9.2/10 for the show.

Echo... echo... echo...



GochiUsa2 ep. 12 [final] - This was a cute episode with a good story. 4/5 for the episode. 8.8/10 for the show.

COMBO BREAKER

Glad you put Sakurako at 9.2, skreyola. I really enjoyed it, but it seemed largely neglected so I thought I was just being eclectic again.

I didn't find too much else this season to comment on. Komori-san was "cute" but I can't really recommend it to anyone due to extreme awkwardness value. I'm not even sure admitting to have watched Somera-chan means.

To make up for a lack of shows, Dad and watched both season of Arakawa Under the Bridge in 3 days. No idea why I never checked either the manga or anime out before now.

LOL at Combo Breaker.

I loved that show. It was definitely worth watching, in spite of all the weirdness that surrounds Kuujo-san. I think it was the season's most underrated show. It wasn't the best, but it was better than many people I saw comment on it thought it was.

Hakone-chan ep. 13 [final] - Everything wrapped up, nice and neat. I didn't care much for the ending speech. A mediocre ending to a mediocre show. 3/5; 5/10

Heavy Object ep. 12 - That was pretty cool. Hime looks like she has weapons that might shoot straight through a mountain, too. Qwenthur's a good guy. That last statement was enigmatic. I wonder what it means. Perhaps she's not as standoffish as she seems? 5/5; For the season: 9.4/10

So, my showlist for the season, which is effectively over:

1. Heavy Object - 9.4 (50 episode points)
2. Sakurako-san - 9.2 (47 episode points)
3. GochiUsa2 - 8.8 (45 episode points)
4. StarMyu - 7.4 (46 episode points)
5. Subete ga F ni Naru: Perfect Insider - 6.0 (42 episode points / 11 eps)
6. Onsen Yosei Hakone-chan - 5.0 (39 episode points)

Dropped:
7. Asterisk War

Guess I'll skip the ones I didn't pick up for the season.

If you were wondering, StarMyu was worth watching. Though it wasn't awesome, I'm still glad I watched it.

...BTW, I'm still watching the next cour of Haikyuu!! S2 (obviously! ), however since we're moving into the Winter Season now I'm going to cease commenting on it to make way for the Winter thread. Suffice it to say, though, that it's still going, and still 100% awesome!

This opened in the U.S. a few weeks ago. Anyone see this latest Ghibli movie? It has like a crazy 95 over at Rotten Tomatoes.
