Aww. It's really fun to watch. I like the characters, especially Mikorin and Seo (who, oddly enough, get along really well in the few scenes they have together).
Oh, definitely! Kashima, Chiyo and Mikorin are my favourites, but really I love all of them. It's just fantastic to have such well-rounded characters. I love how they're all talented artists in some form or another, and Nozaki in no way eclipses their own skills (in fact, he can't match any of them in the fields).
My verdict on Aldnoah so far: a bit silly, not always plausible, but it's fun to watch, if you don't take it too seriously.
Ahh, thanks for that. I was expecting it to be a bit serious/subversive (because of the Madoka team involved) so I'll need to dial down my expectations back to just wanting cool giant robots. I do love cool giant robots, though.
Haikyuu!! is a very, very typical sports anime, but for some reason I can't quite make out I enjoy it a lot (sports isn't usually my genre). It has great character dynamics, and the matches are actually suspensful to watch.
Yeah, the same thing happened to my friends -- none of us are sportsy types but they've gotten hooked, so I'm willing to give it a shot. It seems to have a strange magic about it.
Black Butler is great; I didn't think I'd enjoy it that much. They're not chickening out on the demon business either.
I loooveee Black Butler! Completely uncritically, 'cos hey, demons and tea and gothic aesthetics are something I love unconditionally, but I do love that they haven't been pulling their punches in this season. It's such a big improvement on the old Season 2, it's fantastic to see.
I dropped Dramatical Murder. It wasn't that bad, but my motivation to watch it was pretty low each week. It's something to marathon when I'm bored, but even then there's more entertaining stuff around.
I think they made a critical error trying to make a PG version of a yaoi game. The plot is excellent for a visual novel, and the visual style and character designs are great (though the anime is much weaker than the VN)... but I don't know why they expected to be able to snip out the romance and still have it hold together. It's a bit like cutting open a beautifully decorated cake and watching every layer collapse.
