Winter 2016 Wrap Up!!
I don't know if you remember or not but I made this post right at the beginning of the season and I talked about what tv and anime I would focus on this season. So now that the winter season is well and truelly over with, let us look at what I accomplished (and didn't) during the season!
The first thing I had on the list was to watch all the SPs that had caught my interest in my Upcoming Winter Doramas post. I'm sorry to say that I only managed to watch ONE of the four SPs I had written down. I had Cho Gentei Nouryoku, Botchan, Ballerino Keiji and Josei Sakka Mysteries Utsukushiki Mitsu no Uso on my list and only managed to watch Ballerino Keiji (review is hopefully coming out within the week!) which is a little fail on my part but I think I've made up for it, as you will see as we go on....
Next we had YamaNeko which I watched and thoroughly enjoyed! (9 out of 10) You can see my review of it here.
Moving onto Himura Hideo; I also watched this entirely and enjoyed it entirely! (8.5 out of 10) Review here.
The fourth item was Watashi wo Hanasanaide... omg what a waste of time that was. 2 out of 10, rage enfilled review here.
Then we have the Tokusatsus:
- KR Ghost which I've decided not to continue until we're at least over the 25 episode mark (and I got spoiled for March 27th episode on tumblr and while it did spark my interest, I was like 'well now I don't need to find out what's going on for a little while longer' oopsies?) and I'm just gunna marathon the episodes and hopefully it'll allow me to enjoy the series.
- SS Ninninger finally finished and man that was a waste of time too. That ending seriously! (Review here).
- Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger started and I am loving it! I am very happy with it's progress so far and I already feel like we have an actual story and things are already becoming dire! ^_^
Finally I wanted to watch Konoudori (and then if I had time Angel Heart and Downtown Rocket). Konoudori I finished and I absolutely adored and it break and repaired my heart many, many times (review here). I didn't get to continuing Angel Heart or Downtown Rocket because I am REALLY not in the mood for either of them atm =/ but I do intend to complete them eventually ^_^
Now we have the anime and I had three on my list for this season: Sushi Police, Prince of Stride and Jormungand.
Sad to say I was exceedingly disappointed with Sushi Police and dropped it after about 3 episodes (review). Because Sushi Police was so disappointing, I replaced it by watching Boku Dake ga Inai Machi which I enjoyed a lot and I was completely hooked on and was a MUCH better improvement and was completely worth my time! <3 (review)
Prince of Stride was freaking amazing and I cried and enjoyed it so much and I'm SO happy it's getting stage plays! But I seriously need a secon season ASAP. Also Japan: Prince of Stride is popular as HELL but there's still like ZERO merch out for it at Animate - sort yourself out! (review).
Jormungand was part of my 'completing my on hold list' and I completed it and I have to say, it wasn't to my taste completely. Psst. Turns out I didn't write this on my 'reviews to write' list so this one will be out in the future. (4 out of 10)
That's that one post covered. And now I will show a list of EVERYTHING I watched this winter season and their ratings! Hopefully by the time this post is up, ALL my reviews for ALL of them should be up on my LJ ^_^ I am very proud that I managed to watch a lot of anime before seeing their stage play counter part, and I'm also happy I managed to complete 3 things off my 'On Hold' anime list. It's also great that I already have so many 9 out of 10 watches! But not had any 10 out of 10s yet, but the year is still young! I seriously need to get out of this anime-phase I'm currently in though cos I need to get some doramas DOWN xD
