Thoughts on the previous season

Rather then go through with a crappy paragraph on each series, I thought I’d just write about various elements from the season gone.

 

Favourite series of the season: Panty and Stocking. The end part of the series wasn’t quite as good as the start, but it was crude, at times stupid but very entertaining. Some elements made me laugh quite a bit, and the animation style was enjoyable. I initially worried I wouldn’t like it, but soon enough that fear passed.

 

Favourite Opening of the season: Shinryaku shinryaku shinryaku shinryaku. Catchy song, with some interesting scenes to go with it. I also enjoy the homage to games from the past.

 

Favourite ending of the season: P&S ending. Quite simple, with far less dynamic animation then Ika Musume, but it’s been stuck in my head for weeks. I enjoy listening to it and sometimes hum along with it.

 

Pleasant surprise of the season: Ika Musume. I thought I’d probably enjoy it, but luckily it didn’t turn out to be as generic as I feared it would be. Quite amusing with a quirky cast and some funny moments.

 

The better then I expected it to be series: Otome youkai Zakuro. Again a series I thought could be generic but actually has an interesting cast of characters. The story isn’t truly amazing, but I was expecting something cookie cutter and it turned out to be interesting.

 

The Hanamaru/Mitsudomoe award for I’m glad it wasn’t what I thought it could be: My little sister can’t be this cute. Even after the first couple of episodes I wasn’t quite certain if this was going for an ick ending. Luckily while it covered such games, it was a cute, amusing and at times heart warming series.

 

Favourite character of the season: Squid girl \o/ Honourable mentions also to Panty, Stocking, Garterbelt and Scanty and Kneesocks :p

 

Favourite transformation sequence: Scanty and Kneesocks :teeth:
