Anime Year 2011

Oct 12, 2011 12:42

Life has been a bit time-consuming lately. My house has just finished being repaired and I'm busier with projects at school, since this year is quite important. On spare time I still watch some new anime, and as much as I want to limit the amount of series I'm following, I'm not able to, since this year I found a lot of series that are to my liking ( Read more... )

Wow, what an interesting list~

Yes, I agree with your comments about Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. I've been seeing it mentioned around anime fans, so I decided to watch it, and wasn't disappointed at all! I agree that it's amazing how they took a normally repetitive and cliche genre of anime and turned into an emotional roller-coaster deconstruction that still manages to be in-depth and amazing. As for the lyrics, if you try to read it, Connect (the OP) is about Homura, and Magia (the ED) is about Madoka. Yet the tones of the songs are reversed for them, as Connect is upbeat while Magia is creepy and dramatic. ^^

I'm looking out for Fate/Zero too. I agree that it's really the most accurate presentation of the Holy Grail War yet, because in Fate/Stay Night, even in all 3 routes of the V/N, the War is just the background or the platform for the major events. Fate/Zero really plays out the Holy Grail War as the 'war' that it is, I pretty much agree.

If you like Madoka Magica, then you should also watch Steins;Gate as well. It can help you understand the ending of Madoka Magica better, and also other anime that involved time & space travel. Besides, Steins;Gate is a great anime on its own. It might start out slow and spend around 12 episodes just for build-up (which consists of definitions, experiments, speculations and slightly perverted comedy), but when you get to the big climax, expect emotional roller-coaster and epic plot twists just like Madoka. It's understandable since Urobuchi Gen, the writer for Madoka used to work for the company Nitro+ that produced the original visual novel Steins;Gate, so there must be the influence in each other works.
