yeah and not many of us expected that
I more or less knew what i had coming with madoka, after the staff got announced, still every ep is a surprise most of the time, just got to be careful with spoilers, i got spoiled with Mami and it took half the impact when i saw it...
Just from this season...it's better than:
Gosick
Yumekui Merry
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? ?
For 2010...it's better than:
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Angel Beats!
Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin
Shiki
Durarara!!
GIANT KILLING ?
Angel beats was a little overrated i think, character design was kinda disappointing...
FMAB had a very confusing start, specially if you watched FMA...
Shiki was on a whole level concerning gore and horror, surpassing even higurashi with the psychological warfare, it was a masterpiece for me...
Sekimatsu was fun, durara was also pretty good...
In this case, not really. Bakemonogatari is by Isio Nisin. Akiyuki Shinbou is only the director of it. In Madoka's case, it's an "anime-first", hence him being the creator. The manga followed.
Indeed. Especially in some sites I go to, they lambast IS for being a generic mecha, but i watch star driver becuse its FABULOUS and mecha is just a small part of the episodes...
harem...except a mecha harem in the first place isn't generic since they're actually a "rare" one. They're also the ones that praise Madoka for being different, yet Yumekui Merry (which is also a bit different from the "typical") is considered "confusing", while Fractale (which is also "different") suddenly becomes "trying-hard" and Gosick is according to them "shallow."
Merry is quite different too and somewhat original, but it has a huge harem already and many characters that are more or less generic, but Merry and other dream demons are like a breath of fresh air, as is its dream world...
I dont watch IS for being a generic mecha + harem...
I like fractale, its completely original with some nice characters and a fascinating world and its hard not to love Nessa...
I dont remember having watched any detective anime before, well maybe one or two lesser ones, Gosick is new territory for me and Victorica is lovely, maybe the mysteries end to fast, this last arc seems quite good thought...
I started watching it because the art style looked interesting.
I started to watch it because the all star staff...
Well madoka is indeed different from everything, even Nanoha that was claimed to be already different and better than all other "classics" of the genre, the difference is that Nanoha was all bright and full of fantastic action, a lovable cast and it wasnt exactly unpredictable, in Madoka what comes next is a surprise because they aren't afraid of killing anyone, the atmosphere is always dark and grim and they have a lovable furball that everyone wants to get a piece of...
Not to mention great animation with a perfect sound score, the most abstract world ever seen in anime and the action and special powers are interesting to watch and not sparky, flashy and colorful...
, come back to mai village. FU narurato i shall avenge my bretheren. Oh snap, look at that chick right thur she dun tried to protect you and died in the process. And you thought you knew true pain. Hay guise, i killed ur family. FU DANZO I SHALL KUROS U. Well i'll be damned you dun killed him fo me madara? Shit, son you dun goof'd. amidoinitrite.jpg
) and got pleasantly surprised.
