Oh uh, there seems to be a mistake in the spreadsheet; I haven't watched Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san at all; my like should go to the slot below, for Yahari Ore no Seishun
On another note, I am not liking where Devil Survivor 2 is going. It's still really early, and honestly character portrayals are looking silly. Io is more fragile than a dead leaf for one. Buuuuuuuuut that's just me having preconceived expecations based on my experience and attachment to the original game.Mogsworth wrote:
Aku no Hana - Fuck the haters, this show is brilliant. Yes, the rotoscoping may look ugly, but you have to look at this within the overall context of the story. It's subject matter that's pretty skeevy (at least in the original source) that seems like it'd be fetishized with standard anime designs. It's too subdued for live action, however. The animation doesn't always work, but it paints a realistic picture of the scenario. The pacing here is perfect, and the major winner here is the atmosphere. Holy shit, what an unrelentingly tense atmosphere. This show is brimming with potential for traumatizing experiences, but with such mastery over itself, that being one that stays with you long after you watch it, combined with some honestly good writing...well, you've got one of the best shows of the season.
