33. Ao No Exorcist
Status: Complete
This series has the honor of being the only 6 I gave out all year. It was okay, the start when it was (y)ao(i) no exorcist and focused a lot more on Rin and such were really good, but the side characters just seemed to be there with a small back story but they are never developed. Rin and Yuki are great, but the rest of the cast, besides eye brows...because eye brows, are forgettable. The ending also seemed kinda rushed and laughable "Satan is not such a bad guy."

I complain about this one a lot, no development for the main character except for one episode, probably the most entertaining parts in the show have a character that ruined it, and so on. However, as a light hearted moe type affair it did the job pretty well. The characters end up being complete idiots though. What it lacks in substance it makes up for with some good moments. The main guy has the best name, Claude Claudel.

This is a cute little 3 minuter with a weird ED that scares me.

After DPPs hit or miss season BW has become some what of a surprise. Ash's team is amazing this year, especially Oshawott and Troll Face Scraggy. Iris is kinda annoying, but no worse than Dawn. Cilan is pretty bro, a good replacement for Brock. Also, there are no contests either. Animation and such have been taken up a notch too. However, Pikachu did get reverted back to level 1.

With such a laughable concept this one turned out alright. It's actually relatively light on the fan service, the first 3 minutes or so is like the most fan service in the entire show. It really turned out to be a fun little romcom, almost a coming of age type story. It did delve a little into super obvious gonna use the lolicon angle later on. The show had good natured characters who always though of other first... Mashiro (bakuman) could learn something.

I really liked the start to this one, it became a little inconsistent but enjoyable. It was weird because a lot of the characters had nothing to do with eachother at all and it became hard to care about a lot of them. Still, it's sense of humor and smart writing made it at least a fun show to watch.

This show has so much potential, just when I think the show is gonna turn the corner something happens which makes me RAGE. The animation and music are amazing. Shu shows sparks of being a good main character... and then you remember he's not... He's the Mark Sanchez of anime. It's too bad they really took 11 whole episodes to build his character to a point that shoulda only took like 5.

A little melodramatic for my taste. One thing is I wanted to punch all the characters in the face, besides Popo, he was a bro. I don't really get why once everyone knew about Memna and such they didn't do the writing thing... or some of the other loopholes. Oh, and don't forget the last episode, Crying: The Episode. Still, I can't really rank it down too much because of the drama and how well it presented itself.

Donuts and a midriff? Fanged character? Purplish hair? Ahwww yeah. This one had a great start, but lost a lot of its luster later on. I'd actually mark it down as a big disappointment based on early episodes. The art quality was inconsistent, but it had good music at least. The ending was rushed (Tsunami). Merry (character) is great.
