As we enter roughly the 5th week of the winter 2012 anime season, the boys are separated from the men and we decide which anime are worth our time. Some bombed on the first day and some have won over my heart.
Inu x Boku SS
I was reading the manga version before this anime came out and the anime version hasn't let me down. I've seen a lot of bad reviews of this, and I don't understand whats not to like.
Mirai Nikki
Hanging on by a thread, I'm one episode behind but hopefully that will be fixed soon. I'm getting a little peeved because according to the summary my friend gave me of the manga the anime's not going anywhere. I don't really see how they're going to match this up to the manga with only seven episodes left, but I've been surprised before (i.e. Dantalian no Shouka)
Moretsu Pirates
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The only thing I'd heard of it was that it was postponed, which raised some red flags for me (and the fact it's name Bodacious Space Pirates). But there wasn't a panty in sight, and the animation is amazing. The only thing I dislike is the character design, and even that isn't so bad.
Poyopoyo & Recorder to Ransell
I know these shouldn't really count, but the all happiness they bring me packaged into 3 min had to be included in the list. Probably my second or third favorite series this season.
AnoNatsu
Unexpectedly good. The alien thing really tripped me up. Of course whats to expect from the writer of AnoHana?
Another
I've been in the mood for horror for quite a while now and this satiated that desire. Not for the faint of heart.
Dropped (ongoing)
Listen to me Girls, I'm your Father!
Dropped first episode. Sorry.
Guilty Crown
I'm told its getting better, and who knows? I might pick it back up. But for now it's in the trash can.
Beelzebub
I love the manga to death, and seeing them butcher it was too much... (after 55 episodes...)
Bakuman
I also love the manga for Bakuman, but anime is really boring. I've already seen the same thing three times... (Scanlation release->English release->anime)
Chihafuya
First episode as well. Sorry.
Hunter x Hunter
Kill me Baby
Episode 3, I want to continue, but my pride won't let me...
Maybe it's just because (almost) all my dropped series are from last season, but it seems like this season is really amazing.
