Review: Seitokai Yakuindomo 1

Posted on by
13

From what I’ve read on the interwebs thus far, most people seem to have a low opinion of Seitokai Yakuindomo. Although I enjoyed watching it, I find it hard to disagree with them. However, some are saying this is the worst of the season, which I believe is taking it too far. I mean, sure it was generic, bland and cliche… but at least it was funny enough to get a few laughs out of me.  I’m going to attempt to explain why I don’t hate this show. Hopefully, this won’t provoke people to hunting me down and slaughtering me.

Review: K-ON!! 13

Let me say this now: the one real reason I started watching K-ON! at all was because everyone kept talking about it on Twitter. So I thought, “Hey! I wanna look cool, too! I should watch it!”  However, the second season has been a bit of a disappointment. It doesn’t feel like any major plot developments have come along in a while, and that’s reflected in this episode. K-ON!! 13 is doesn’t deviate much from the standard formula we’ve seen thus far.  There are a few different elements shown, but ultimately it’s just eye candy for the fans. I enjoyed it somewhat, but that was mainly because of Azusa in her swimsuit. But let’s cut to the chase, shall we?

Meet Konata

Kagami, your nemesis has arrived.

All righty… I’m attempting to conjure up a witty intro, but alas. My name is Konata Izumi, but please just call me Kona-nyan since it sounds more moe. I’m planning on writing some reviews on Project Haruhi (mainly K-ON!! at the moment), as well as potentially some other projects. The staff greeted me with torches and pitchforks, ready to burn my house down! However, unlike my other colleagues who are in their 20s, I’m a mere 14 years old. Yes, you may now laugh.

I’m still hoping to adapt to everything on the site, as well as get to know the rest of the staff a bit more. Hopefully, I’ll get to know them well enough that they won’t want to burn my house down anymore. I’m a witty writer yet a bit shy with new people. My main interests are history and writing, and–of course–anime. While I’m still a bit of a newb at anime, I still do my best to try and fit in. I’m a bit cautious with new things, but once I get to know it, I’m lapse back into my ol’ sad attempts at trying to be funny. Like this post, for example.

I’ve never been asked to write for anything whatsoever, so I’ll try and do my best here. I hope I don’t screw this up!

K-On Dethroned!?

Previously posted by Ryoko, we saw K-On! enter the record books with 33,000 Blu-Ray and 8,000 DVD sales for volume one alone. Today we hear of this record being broken by another anime, Bakemonogatari, with over 29,000 Blu-Ray and 15,000 in DVD sales. This lands it at 44,000 total sales to K-On’s 41,000.

Bakemonogatari is an anime by Shaft, now rather well-known for it’s artsy style and 24 minute slideshow for episode 10. Apparently the latter wasn’t enough to label it a lost cause.

As Bakemonogatari is not the moe-blobbery of K-On! and many other recent anime, we can only hope that it’s popularity will serve as a shoe to the hindquarters of the anime industry. So far this information has only been found on Sankaku Complex, so it should be taken with a pinch of salt; but if true then more reliable sources will be available soon.

Endless Eight: Not So Endless After All

(hover over images for my comments)

As previously stated, this week marked the end of the traumatic Endless Eight arc. A belated blessing, but a blessing all the same. Having watched the episode in Japanese (it’s worth mentioning, for the sake of clarity, that I don’t actually KNOW Japanese), here’s what you’ll all have been waiting to finally see:

WARNING, THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS

If you’re bothered by episode spoilers, I suggest not reading beyond this line. Though, doubtless, most of you will be wanting more substantial proof that the arc has, indeed, ended. Continue reading →

Endless Eight Is Endless… And Probably Eight

Today sees the seventh episode of Haruhi’s second season newest series. It also marks the sixth episode of the Endless Eight arc, with no ending in sight. It seems the rumor that it was going to end with the sixth repetition was, in fact, nothing more than a rumor. The arc is set to continue above and beyond six episodes… the likeliest result being eight. While it has been speculated for some time, many of us have been been hoping otherwise.
