Autumn 2011 – Season Review

With the calendar of 2011 crowning our comically overfilled garbage bin following the holiday celebrations, there’s no better time than the present to take a moment (or however long it takes you to get through this mammoth of a post) and reflect on the anime from this previous Autumn, the final anime season of 2011.

Autumn 2011 – Week 12 Anime Review

Hope you all had a merry Christmas and are enjoying the holiday season.  This is the final week of the Autumn season, so this is the last weekly anime review for now.  Expect the same format to reappear in the 2012 with a slew of new anime and a few favorites from this season to carry over.  This week: Maya in Working’!!, that crazy and random fight between beasts in UN-Go, bonding with Chizuru in Ika Musume, and an appropriate but ambiguous finale for Penguindrum.

Autumn 2011 – Week 11 Anime Review

This week: stalling relationships in Working’!!, the role of the diary in Mawaru Penguindrum, and Dr. Harada in Chihayafuru.

Autumn 2011 – Week 10 Anime Review

This week: fanservice in Ika Musume, a substantial contrast in Idolmaster, and confusion over Kanba in Penguindrum.

Autumn 2011 – Week 9 Anime Review

Say, whatever happened to my episodic posts on Shinryaku!? Ika Musume?  Well, it’s sad to note but these past couple weeks have seen a significant reduction in my amount of freetime meaning something had to go.  And well, Ika Musume just happened to be the unlucky one.  That doesn’t mean I stopped watching the show, just I can’t type up my thoughts, analyses, or tangents on Ika Musume every week like I have been.  Instead, it’s going to be included in my weekly reviews meaning you’ll see it here from now on.  There is a slight chance that it may go back to episodic posting once I have more time but for now, it’ll be a part of these posts.

Autumn 2011 – Week 8 Anime Review

This week: UN-Go being “The Last Great noitaminA Anime” , why I can’t hate a villain in Mawaru Penguindrum, and whether the use of poison in Future Diary (Mirai Nikki) was good or not.

Autumn 2011 – Week 7 Anime Review

This week: a surprisingly emotional iDOLM@STER episode, the lone person who cares about the truth in UN-Go, and a spotlight on Taichi in Chihayafuru.  Oh, and the order of anime in this post has flipped, so now it’s reverse. Yippee!!
