All the PMMM talk lately got me to rewatch episodes 8 and 9.

 

Spoiler

 

There is just something chilling about that moment at the end of episode 8 when you realize, everything is NOT going to be okay.

GOD is LOTGH amazing.

 

 

Told ya so.

So I finished up Akuma no Riddle.

 

It was incredibly average to be perfectly honest. There's not much I can really say makes this a must watch or high recommendation from me (beyond maybe the OST which was pretty amazing) the story and characters just didn't do it for me. I never became invested or really interested in what was going on in the story, nor did it alienate me too much, it was sort of just there. The one thing that did bother me at some points was just how contrived it could become at certain points. The main premise is that a girl is in a classroom full of assassins that are trying to kill her, and whoever manages to will get whatever they desire most. Each assassin gets their own episode (with a couple exceptions) and their own back story/story arc which admittedly is a sort of interesting idea but it never feels entirely well fleshed out or executed. The girl who they are trying to murder doesn't have any special powers (sort of...) nor is she particularly intelligent about the situation despite knowing the entire class is trying to kill her, tbh she should have died 1000 times over before the end if a single one of these assassins actually had any idea of what they were doing. Like one assassin was basically a terminator with unlimited funds who had months to prepare and she ends up failing in such a spectacularly pathetic and nonsensical way that I just couldn't even find it believable. There's a point and clear theme to the story, and a sort of twist at the end but it lacked any emotional investment in the series to make those worthwhile for me.

 

Tbh the anime could have made fun of itself a lot over how contrived it got but instead it takes itself a bit too seriously.

 

The action was OK, but nowhere near as good as what I've come to expect from my more action filled animes like Fate/Zero. Some of the roundabout fighting styles some of the people used confused me a little. The assassins have to give the one girl a letter saying her life is in danger before they attack her, but other then that they could do whatever they wanted, so why one doesn't just walk up to her, drop the note on the desk and lets say just stab her in the heart or shoot her in the head was beyond me. One of the assassins stuck a bomb around her neck with a deactivation code and gave her an afternoon to try and find out the code to disarm it, if this was a real assassin they wouldn't have even given her a chance to do that (admittedly this was also one of the better assassins too)

 

The romance aspect didn't grab me at all. There was some interesting points in it but otherwise like the characters I just never became invested in seeing these 2 characters together, nor did I find either more then mildly interesting.

 

I was hoping for a bit more going into this tbh, I really wanted to like it and I tried harder then I should but at the end of the day it's merely watchable. At least I can download and gush over the amazing OST.

 

6/10

 

 

Now time to finish up One Week Friends. This one really did surprise me and will more then likely end up getting a higher score and a more solid recommendation from me but I'll write something up once I finish. It's the sort of one I'd recommend to someone like Sim, my emotions bro.

I don't know why we don't ship a rivalmance...

 

I mean, I'm the L guy and you seem to like Light.

 

Wanna write Yaoi with me?

 

Okay, enough nonsense. If you don't get, basically read the anonymous post he/she's using xD "You can't just slap AoT's opening on anything." - Well, YES YOU F*CKING CAN!

 

 

NONSENSE IS OUR THING!

 

Now excuse me, I have some Sim/Lotion fanfics to go write.

[Isichar]

So it's not like a yuri Future Diary then. Oh well.

Akuma no Riddle

 

I haven't seen Future Diary yet so I can't comment. I doubt it will ever get nearly as much attention as Future Diary did though.

[Liamv2]

Ooh I have one week friends on my to do list it's in position number 19. Yeah it's gon be a while.

[Puzzlewell]

Popping up to say I'm glad to hear you're enjoying LotGH so much Sim! It's been on my list for about two or so years now but the episode count did seem a touch daunting. I'm a sucker for proper space operas though so I'll do it eventually for sure. Maybe I'll just work around eventually rewatching Galaxy Express 999 ( ) and line LotGH up with it.

[Isichar]

Ooh I have one week friends on my to do list it's in position number 19. Yeah it's gon be a while.

 

At least it's on your list. This is probably one show that will fly under most peoples radars.

[Isichar]

u wot.

 

watch eeeeeet

 

I'll add it to the list. Got to finish the ones I already started (One Week Friends, Baccano and Utena). After that I told Geth I'd give the One Piece manga a shot and I still need to watch Once Upon a Time since I told LP I would if he watched PMMM so I have a bit of stuff to work on. Maybe after all of those are finished...

[Liamv2]

Goddamn it. So thats Mirai nikki and LotGH on the list.

[Isichar]

Technically OWF isn't finished yet (or maybe it is in Japan but not here) the final episode is set to air on CR in about 17 hours, but I know what you mean, I have so many ongoing ones I intended to watch that just never ended up happening.

[CrazyRah]

Found a way to move past PMMM! Found it in ongoing animes that i've been following. Funny enough it was Mekakucity Actors that returned it to me and Of course it was the anime that have been confusing me the most lately. Apparently blown mind plus confusion set things right.. or i might just be crazy, that's absolutely a real possibility.

[Liamv2]

So log horizon is pretty cool.

[Lotion Soronarr]

Well, it is 110-118 episodes (not counting all the extras). That's a lot of CD's...or DVD's

[Lotion Soronarr]

Oh, and also the entire collection of David Suchet's Poirot too for 100 quid.

 

Hats off for your splendid taste Sir.

[CptBomBom00]

u wot.

 

 

watch eeeeeet

I am listing to this everyday, pretty good OP and damn I gotta re-watch it.
