KokoroAkechi 10/04/17 12:21:49 AM #404:	Time for Kokoro's Summer 2017 final anime rankings. Only going through shows that finished and that I also finished. 20. Clione no Akari Man this show is bad. At its core the concept is not awful. Like a couple of kids who want to make friends with a girl who is bullied. The problem? We don't actually get to see that much interaction with them and when we do we have to do it through this annoying narration. Speaking of which the voice acting for the male main is awful. Just listen to all the emotion in his voice. The animation quality is also noticeably bad, like worse than Japanese morning anime for kids bad. 19. Centaur no Nayami You know I liked this show a lot more when I thought the demon monster girl was a trap. Whatever. This show is just boring there is very little in the way of humor and it doesn't have fan service to make up for that. A lot of it is kind of strange too. I mean I get the show is trying to play on the differences of the different species and how interesting issues can come from them but most of the time the viewer can't relate to it and when they can it's done too heavy handily. 18. Kakegurui I went on record pretty early saying this show was bad. I'm sticking with that. There is just zero tension for the entire show. Yumeko being hot does not make up for the shows shortcomings like character development, characters having actual interesting interactions, actual rising and falling action throughout the series, etc. Like all the bad guys are basically gimmick characters that almost vanish (except for like one of them). They could not even give us decent fan service of Yumeko. 17. Fastest Finger First The only real reason this show is above like Kakegurui (which I think is a little more entertaining) is that I actually realize this is constructed much better and has some minor development for the main character. However, the show has atrocious voice acting, and a lot of it is just boring. The anime never gives you a reason to care about any of the matches and they don't even bring in real subplots to make other parts interesting. Like a small side romance, home issues, etc could have fleshed out the show and characters more. 16. Classroom of the Elite I don't understand the direction this show went in. Like it looked like some semi-serious show that was going to have some decent development but no it jumps the shark and becomes some weird school mystery comedy thing? I don't really know. Like there's virtually no focus in this anime. 15. Gamers! Gamers is a show I wanted to like but I found the whole premise about the comedy revolving around characters misunderstanding each other to get dull pretty fast. Parts of it are funny and a couple of the characters are kinda likable, but there are much better comedies. 14. Knight's & Magic This is a show that started off pretty entertaining but the main character is just too strong for his own good. Also, there was no cross-dressing what a wasted opportunity. The dark skinned girl was cute though. In any case just a show where almost nothing bad happens at all to the main characters. Only this high because it does what it wants to fairly well it's just the goal itself was not that interesting. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:887773347] in Anime &...

KokoroAkechi 10/04/17 12:41:29 AM #405:	13. Angel's 3 Piece As I write this I am keeping an eye out for the FBI. This is basically a lolicon anime. There are some parts that are incredibly cute in it and you do get to see some growth where the girls get to preform in front of people. But a lot of the show is also kind of pointless at the same time. This is done by the same person who did the loli basketball show. I understand that one is pretty lewd, but this one is pretty tame overall. 12. Love and Lies This is a show I really liked at first but as it went on it kind of was like "this is pretty dumb now". As far as like the love triangle went I thought overall it was fairly well done and don't have a lot of complaints with that. I am annoyed with like them not doing much with the "mystery" part and also not having the two girls really having a lot of interactions with each other. The big thing though was the ending. I understand why they did it but it was such a copout. 11. Isekai Shokudou Basically a series of shorts about different people from different realms that find their way to a restaurant and tries the food there. It's a soothing show for like the first few episodes but the lack of character development and overall samey feel to each episode drags it down. Some of the stories of the characters that visit the restaurant are interesting and their experience when they eat a food is almost always a good point, but not enough where I'd say this is a good show. 10. Action Heroine Cheer Fruits This pretty much a feel good show but also one about like friendship and doing something with people you could not by yourself. This is clearly a show I think is aimed at kids. There's no fan service and not much in the way of serious stuff. I will say though the amount of asspulls that happens in this anime is off the charts. I do think that it was fun for what it was. There was a lot they could have explored with the characters as some of them do have potential for more development, but this is probably one of the more underrated shows this season. 9. Sakura Quest The first of the shows from last season. I don't think it's a secret that Summer 2017 was kind of a let down overall. Sakura Quest was a show that had a ton of potential early. It had a great main lead where the character growth was very apparent at the half way point. But something happened, it's like she had no where else to go. Once she accepted that she should do her job to the best of her ability she just became less interesting and they did try to give more focus on other characters, but they were just not as fun overall. Still a good show, but it's a slow burn without much of a real payoff imo. 8. My First Girlfriend is a Gal This is just a typical romcom between a girl who seems like a slut and a guy who should have no chance with her. But they get together. For the most part the interactions between them are very cute. Like you can tell they like each other but are both unsure what to do to express it. The anime also has a more or less satisfying ending. It does though do a lot of dumb things like the guys friends are morons and the hot dark skinned girl is kind of a bitch (but for reasonable reasons that should have been explored further). But at the core if you look past some of the things people are going to be annoyed at this was pretty enjoyable. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:887774127] in Anime &...

KokoroAkechi 10/04/17 1:05:00 AM #406:	7. Made in Abyss For as much as I said I didn't think Made in Abyss was a great show I still think it's a good show. Like the atmosphere the show gives out is second to none (okay, maybe like one other show). It has great character interaction between the two mains and it has some wonderful production values. I do think though that it ended at a point where the show would have started to get interesting. They just don't explore enough or reveal enough about the abyss. I feel like a lot of the show was discovery but without any real explanation on what we were seeing in the first place. 6. Tsurezure Children This is pretty funny. Like each of the short skits are relatable in a way and also pretty funny. Like the one with the phone that died... I'm not saying that happened to me but I can understand. Other scenes too especially the elbow slam were great. Only really falls because it's hard to connect with the characters as like individuals outside of the comedy. 5. Re:Creators I like this show, but I still think it's kind of dumb overall. Like The first half was great with a ton of neat interactions between the different characters, good development, alliances being formed, etc. But once the main bad guy was completely established I do think it kind of snowballed into a big trainwreck (maybe a poor choice of words). In any case though it has a decent ending and again very good production values overall. A lot of the characters are likable and the ones that are not at least have either some good development or you can at least be partially sympathetic to them. 4. Aho Girl This show is hilarious. I mean the dog is amazing and overall i think the level of comedy for each skit was pretty good. Yeah some of them were better than others and not all the running gags (basically the panty shot one) was funny, like I barely even count that as fan service, it was still good. Like the character interactions too were golden. 3. New Game!! New Game S2 focuses less on being cute and comedy and more on character growth and having a bit of a more serious tone. It works wonderfully. The level of connection I had this time around with like Aoba, Kou, and the rest of the cast as they have to go through their individual struggles was much more present. Also despite not getting much in the way of development, I still like Hajime the most. 2. My Hero Academia S2 MHA S2 is an incredible season. The tournament arc was incredible. What I think the show does very well is establish each characters personality but also what their overall drive and motive is. It allows the viewer to have differing levels of understanding and relatability to each of them. Like Momo, who is talented but has no self-confidence, or Shouto who wants to step out of the shadow of his father, even All Might someone who the world sees as all powerful, but he knows in his heart that he can't keep up the fight much longer. Beyond that it has excellent battles, good music, great animation, etc. This is by far one of the best shounens I've seen. 1. Princess Principal In terms of direction, setting, atmosphere, tone. This show has that down like no other. You watch this and you almost feel like you're there. Each of the girls have distinct personalities and we learn about their backstories some of which really throw some twists at us. Almost all the episodes are very well crafted with a good mix of being cute but also focusing a lot on the more serious nature of the anime. Not to mention the overall art to be pretty good. The music though really shines as it has one of the best overall tracks this season. It really only has failings where it ends on a point where I think they want to make more of it but a second season is unlikely imo. Still, this is a show that basically has a complete package. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:887774978] in Anime &...

swordz9 10/04/17 12:15:21 PM #413:	Man this is pretty amazing. Yumi has become so popular since she was introduced she has pretty much stolen Asuka's main character status for Senran Kagura. I'm not sure I've ever seen that happen for any other series (I'm sure there are some examples, but I'm struggling to come up with any). I don't just mean one girl being more popular than the main. It would be more like one girl completely stealing all the screen time of the main heroine and relegating her to secondary heroine or obligatory extra waifu. <cite>swordz9 posted [p:887795616] in Anime &...

tazzyboyishere 10/04/17 3:34:26 PM #418:	Mac Arrowny posted... @tazzyboyishere I see you finished it thoughts? I'm guessing this is concerning Ran and the Grey World? I liked it a lot! It was a sweet coming of age story. The beginning was pretty imaginative, but it sort of drug in the middle. The final three volumes made up for it though. The circumstances surrounding the Outarou were bittersweet, and the way it changed Ran into maturing, rather than trying to force herself into adulthood was done quite well. I also liked the romance.

I liked it a lot! It was a sweet coming of age story. The beginning was pretty imaginative, but it sort of drug in the middle. The final three volumes made up for it though. The circumstances surrounding the Outarou were bittersweet, and the way it changed Ran into maturing, rather than trying to force herself into adulthood was done quite well. I also liked the romance.

Mac Arrowny 10/04/17 11:35:24 PM #424:	Finished Princess Principal. I dunno. This was mostly pretty good, with a solid cast, cool fights, neat setting, and solid intrigue. But the last two episodes weren't very good at all. They were way more inconclusive than they should've been, even if there's to be a second season, and nothing that happens makes any sense. Why would they go ahead with Changeling if they think Ange'll betray them? Without her, the plan is totally pointless. Why didn't Dorothy or Beatrice tell Ange about their plans before she went to kill the princess? Why is the Duke only ever trying to stop the main characters and no one else? Why/when did Dorothy betray the Commonwealth? Why didn't the princess tell the soldiers that Zelda was betraying them when she was screaming and Zelda was shooting her?
