Spring Anime 2011
Spring Season - CONTINUING
GOSICK
--- It's just continuing on from last season at the same pace. They changed the ED for episode 13. I like the serial episodes, so looking forward to ep.14. =)
Spring Season - NEW
Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai II
http://kaminomi.jp/
Start: April 12
--- Same pacing as first season. =) Will stick with it.
MARIA†HOLIC 2 - Alive
http://www.mariaholic.com/
Start: April 8
--- First episode was a lot of WTF for me. Weirder than the first season, but didn't feel like there was as much extensive monologue, which I guess is a good thing? Hoping that it'll get less weird, but who am I kidding? XD; Will wait out a few more episodes.
Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi
http://sekai-ichi.jp/
Start: April 9
--- The anime is pretty close to the manga! ♥ Following it, yes! =D
Steins;Gate
http://steinsgate.tv/
Start: April 6
--- The first episode threw me off a bit because it was so dark (as in dim colors), but second episode was better. Still waiting to see how things turn out because even after reading the synopsis, I'm still confused, so waiting for things to be revealed.
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko
http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/denpa/
Start: April 8
--- Ah, this one also has Irino Miyu voicing the main character. Only noticed because I checked the info page before watching. OTL Hahaha, Makoto kind of looks like a more filled out Mikado from Durarara!!.
[C] - The Money of Soul and Possibility Control
http://www.noitamina-control.jp/
Start: April 15
--- First off, the English at the beginning of the episode, spoken really well! XD The character animation seems a little toned down compared to the detail in the background, though. However, there is a certain charm to it. My initial impressions is that it makes me think of Gankutsuou crossed with Higashi no Eden. Also, the way they do the OP animation with the currencies is an interesting take... a lot of statements are being made without actually saying anything. Ah! The ED is by School Food Punishment. In that case, no wonder about the Higashi no Eden feeling.
30-sai no Hoken Taiiku
http://30sai.jp/
Start: April 7
--- Hiro Shimono voices the main character. =D That in itself is hilarious in hearing his worked-up voice. Some of the fill-in words for the censored words are hilarious, too. Especially when they toss in English words. Sticking with it for Hiro Shimono, as well as the awkwardness of some situations, LOL.
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai
http://www.anohana.jp/
Start: March 26
--- A lot of the profile shots remind me of ToraDora! I wonder if it's the same character designer? When I first saw info about this, their names were a little... ^^;; But I just found out how they got their nicknames, which I guess makes sense, then. Ah... I couldn't tell it was Irino Miyu voicing Jintan at first. But I can hear it now during a second look. This one is interesting, so sticking with it.
Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai
http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/oretsuba/
Start: April 4
--- So many characters introduced, so much jumping around... I'm still not quite sure what's going on. Some of the fanservice I kind of get, other parts... hm. In any case, waiting to see if it plateaus and starts to come together or what.
Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi
http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/hoshikaka/
Start: April 4
--- My first impression was: PRETTY EYES. ♥ And then the main character has a little brother. Makes me wonder if that makes any situations awkward in future episodes or not, haha. Besides Hana-Saku Iroha, this one also has a ryokan. What are the odds of two in a season? XD So far so good, so sticking with it.
Hidan no Aria
http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/aria/
Start: April 8
--- Girls and guns, May'n singing the OP. Actually, what? What's with students and guns?! Oh, Butei. >_>; But wow at the completely character turnaround at the halfway point of the first episode! XD; This could be interesting.
Hana-Saku Iroha
http://www.hanasakuiroha.jp/
Start: April 3
--- From several portions of the pacing and other things, it made me think of Natsume Yuujinchou, though it clearly is not. I like the animation, both of the character design and the background. Definitely sticking with it.
Sket Dance
http://sketdance.jp/
Start: April 7
--- Not sure if I'm sticking with this one... Comparing it to the others I'm watching, it's on its own. ^^; I haven't read the manga either, so I don't know what to expect in future episodes yet. But, ep.2 was almost entirely a product placement episode. WHAT.
