What is this crazy occurrence, I'm actually posting my weekly reviews on Saturday like I'm supposed to. Don't know how this happened, just suddenly got in an anime feeling and pushed through with a bunch of shows at once this week. Well with the various shows coming to a conclusion mostly, I started to look at what I have planned for next season. And man I got a shock, feels like it must be a solid dozen shows to watch next season. Spread between old stuff I've been meaning to watch for years and a really solid looking new stuff, I am rather excited.
2020 Summer Week 11
Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! Ep 11
Well that was an interesting episode, with a pretty decent mix of various things. We go the relationship building with the rock-climbing stuff, fan service with the cosplay stuff, and the way to finish the season with that rain scene. Will be fun to see this come to an end.
The Millionaire Detective - Balance: UNLIMITED Ep 8
I’m thinking I need to rewatch like the last 2 episodes, because I’m starting to get lost. I feel like I have just completely missed something along the way and need to catch back up to it. Onto this episode, man I didn’t expect this stuff at all. Never did I predict that the show would end up starting to head this direction at all.
My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Climax! Ep 10
Only two episodes to go with this series, and it just doesn’t feel like a satisfying conclusion at all to this series. I have been watching for years, and this just isn’t how I ever imagined this show ever ending. Most of the characters have been completely forgotten about, essentially the entire side cast that is. The main characters don’t feel like they have gotten remotely equal amounts of screen time or character building for this final season. And overall, it just doesn’t feel like a good final season at all. Maybe after all these years I’ve hyped up the ending in my mind more, but they could have done better.
2010 Summer Week 11
Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan Ep 10
Ok than, this was an amazing episode. By far might have been my favorite episode yet. The only thing I hated was the very ending, was such a stupid fake out and just terrible. But other than that, just seeing things working out so well was great. And also everyone just hanging out and enjoying life a bit before things hit the fan again.
Amagami SS Ep 10
I see, so this was much more of a fan service episode. Overall, it worked out pretty well and I enjoyed it of course. I wonder if this arc will end with her finally getting the job, and alongside it them starting to date to celebrate kinda. And of course, we end the episode with the whole love interest could be a sister thing that seems to pop up constantly in various shows, don’t understand it but here we are.
Cat Planet Cuties Ep 10
Know what, it is good this show is almost done. Because I am really tired of it. It started off super strong but has quickly just fallen apart in so many ways that I have just lost complete interest in this. They started off with that strong couple episode opening, but quickly just fell into many episodes of just pure pointless filler. But now with 3 episodes from the end they have decided to suddenly bring a story back into play. But it hasn’t had any build up, or explanation for what is going on at all. The enemy are these random dog people, who have never once been remotely explained in any form and are essentially deus ex villain. Suddenly launching an attack and doing a bunch of damage and being the superior force for no reason, despite being beaten a dozen times or so over the show at random times.
Man, I just want to know what happens to cause a show like this is exist. Where did things go wrong that they were ok with 8 episodes of filler and suddenly realizes they are supposed to be telling a story.
