Anime of summer 11
This ended up a pretty good season overall.
N°6 had a disapointing ending, and thoroughly messy plot, but I still mostly loved it. (yeap, this is the only anime I ended up doing a full scale review).
Tiger & Bunny continued being a very solidly entertaining show with heartwarming characterisation despite weaknesses in plotting (and especially having its finale somewhat undermined by all the hooks for the sequel).
Natsume Yuujinchou San was beautiful as always, with a little more plot focused episodes this season, but still filled with the wonderful bittersweet one exploration of loneliness and learning to move forward from it.
Mawaru Penguindrum is crackfully intriguing, surrealistically awesome, and endlessly keeping us on our toes.
Usagi Drops was delicately and comfortably sweet.
La Croisée dans un Labyrinthe Etranger was surprisingly good in a sugary sweet yet solidly endearing way, as well as beautiful to see.
I did end up dropping Ao no Exorcist when it started going its own independent way from the manga (despite not reading the manga) though, tell me if that was a mistake.
I don't expect to watch much next season. It's probably the worse, lacking in anything interesting season I've seen since I started watching anime regularly!! I expect I'll continue with Penguidrum of course, and Un Go may actually be worth bothering with. Errr, did I miss anything else?
