daeva_neesanSo, Fall Season is here and I started watching some of the stuff on my to-watch list :3
Here's a little overview on the series that I picked and some movie stuff that I managed to watch while waiting for them :3
Shounen Maid Curo-kun ∼ Tenshi no Uta - score: 5
Ok, it was mere porn, it's stupid to hope for some depth here, but considering the original series, I found the script kinda off, excessively simplified and excessively focused on explaining things-- Always in a simplicistic way.
It wasn't a horrible episode, but I still preferred the comic movie over it (go figure)-- This made me want to make a doujinshi myself, 'cause all in all it was animated nicely and came with interesting bits concerning the characters personalities and past :3
One of the worst thing of this series was the character design-- It was so colourful and weird XD Expecially Meis, he's been drawn horribly ;_; !
You can compare the two versions yourself-- The one on the left is the OVA's, the other is from the comic movie.
Fate/ Stay Night ∼ UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS - score: 9
I was generally doubtful of its goodness, in fact the first half of the movie, a ridiculous, fast-paced and bad summary of the anime series kinda confirmed my doubts, but fortunately later the story starts to take its form and its nice pace.
The plot still showed some terrible holes, like characters suddenly disappearing from the screen or the total lack of introductions, but I guess that this movie was aimed to those who played the game exclusively, or at least watched the anime series.
I was also disappointed by how everyone fapped on Rin. I mean, ok, she's pretty cute and the main female protagonist in this version, but it's kinda unrealistic that everyone was up to die for her >_>;
Still, the whole thing still kept being interesting: the photography and work with the backgrounds was AWESOME, no stupid CG abuse, the fights were awesome and pretty videogame-like ♥ and the animation was pretty good, also if a bit redundant in certain points, but that was the animators showing off their ANIME PEN0R, I guess.
--Another good point is that I got angsty gay vibes from Kirei/Shinji (and the possibility of Kirei/Shinji/Lancer and Gilgamesh/Shinji/Lancer, LOL) >3>
Also, I really wonder why I like Archer/Rin so much but I kinda dislike Shiro/Rin >3> Anyway, in the end, Archer gets really little love despite his ABSOLUTE AWESOMENESS ;_;
WTF moment of your Dae when she was showed this "student-like" alternative version of Gilgamesh >3>
I was really up for some Archer/Archer YAOI, but in the end it's pretty impossible (probably Archer/Lancer is a better option, LOL)... Here are the two versions from the videogame artworks, Fate (anime) on the left and UBW (movie) on the right:
Bakuman - temporary score: 6
The series has a nice plot and the characters are interesting-- I'm absolutely bothered by the romantic pretext and the character design, though-- But I'm keen to change my mind after just one episode.
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo - temporary score: 7
My list is just missing Togainu no Chi, but that's going to air on October 7 :3 I really hope that someone is going to sub it, almost as fast as they're taking care of shitty My Little Sister can't be this cute! >_>;
...What about you, guys :D ?

Date: 6/10/10 03:34 (UTC)Otome Youkai Zakuro- A really nice start for this series. The main male lead character is trying to please the half-youkai girl except that he had youkai-phobia. He reminds me of Watanuki.
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo- the male lead has a geass eye. LOL. jk. I like this series.
Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls- Yeah, I know. It's ecchi with moe. But what caught me into watching this is the seiyuu of the male lead (Daisuke Hirakawa). And yet, he doesn't sound really like that douchebag, Makoto Ito. And his character is very good-looking. BTW, they even have a unique way to censor: inkblots! Anyway, I can tolerate the fanservice just like H.O.T.D.
Oh, yeah. There's also a Durarara!! Special which is out now. I've watched and I laughed again for Shizuo's rage!

no subject
Date: 7/10/10 14:47 (UTC)I can't...urgh. It was hard to digest.
I think because the VA was too girly, and he practically was too "super uke" for me. I wish they had more plot development!

Date: 7/10/10 15:33 (UTC)Did you watch the comic movie..? The original stuff is MUCH MORE PERVERTED, TO A DELIRIOUS EXTENT D': But I like it a lot ToT *rotten inside*
I was peeking at curo_blog and I noticed that the volume 3 of the manga is out! I hope to get the RAW soon ;o;

Date: 11/10/10 06:56 (UTC)I have so little time to check my f-list lately that I've stopped checking the dates, so sorry if this entry is really old. ^^;
no subject
Date: 11/10/10 08:02 (UTC)Usually adaptations of eroges follow the original story but without the naughty parts :3 So the story is pretty much the same∼
I noticed that the anime is listed as shounen-ai, so everything would probably be kept subtexty x3
no subject
Date: 11/10/10 20:57 (UTC)Yeah, but this is one of those eroge where the plot changes depending on which love interest you follow. My old roommate told me the manga mostly follows Shiki's plot, so I guess I assumed the anime would choose somebody different...but if it's just shounen ai, it'd pretty much have to be Shiki I guess. XD Or maybe Rin or what's his face. The annoying guy who's always following Akira around like a lost puppy.
I guess I really will have to play the game if I ever want to see Kiriwar, Gunzi, or Arbitro's endings. XD Yeah, I'm sick.
no subject
Date: 12/10/10 09:16 (UTC)The series started on October 7. --It's hard to wait for a week every time ^_^;
Ahah, yeah, that's true XD
Awww, I like the lost puppy ;3; Childhood friends are the best ♥
Shiki is way too glamourous for my tastes XD --Which was the main couple in the manga? Probably they'd just follow that.
Ahah, yes, expecially ARBITRO's ending x'DDD I guess that would qualify as a bad ending XD ?
no subject
Date: 12/10/10 17:29 (UTC)He's cute and all, but idk...he's just so useless. How could someone go through basic training like he's supposed to have done and still be so completely useless? He's just dead weight around Akira's neck, and with stakes as high as they are in the Igura, that's not really something Akira needs.
I'm pretty sure Shiki is the main love interest, but I've only read the first three volumes (the fourth wasn't out yet when my roommate and I parted ways) so I'm not 100% sure. Shiki is awesome, though! He's got that badass katana and coat, what's not to love?
I don't think it's so bad. ;) At least Akira lives, until like Kiriwar's ending. That guy plays too hard. XD
no subject
Date: 12/10/10 18:01 (UTC)It's the Japanese "hetare" concept XD
I'm probably not very amused by Shiki 'cause he looks like the classic "dark guy" type.
After the thousand series where you meet his type it becomes kinda boring XD --Another example of the character is Luka (http://cienviane.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/zesu.jpg) from Uraboku :3
no subject
Date: 13/10/10 07:35 (UTC)I guess it's just not my thing. XD I'm annoyed by useless characters, regardless of their gender. Even if they ultimately just get in the way, like Rin, I still prefer characters who are actually doing something.
On the other hand, I love the dark silent type. XD It will never stop being awesome in my eyes. So you can have useless puppy boy and I can have Shiki, and we'll both be happy. XD Hooray for eroge!
Just be careful not to get the ending where Puppy Boy goes crazy and rapes Akira to death. :3

Date: 13/10/10 17:14 (UTC)Works good to me XD ! Puppy boy is cute!-- Oh, also if I like the "cold type with glasses" better ;3;
