So It's Been 9 Days... Alot Happened?

Its been a while I guess since I've posted. Being on vacation... well, a stay-cation more like it I was totally unmotivated to post or do just about anything other than sit around and play Madden 15. It's my first Madden in like 3 years and I have to say, Ultimate Team is pretty fun but nerve racking at the same time. I've kind of come to a conclusion that I'm also not very good at the game as well... I can knock out the computer pretty well, but cant seem to win any games online. I'm exaggerating, I've won like 7 games but im like 7 wins and like 15 losses... Its a terrible record. But on to more pressing things....

THE SEASON IS ENDING!!!

Thats right... there is a bunch of anime that is wrapping up their season and calling it a day... Maybe season 2 will be in the cards for some, but definitely not all... So on with the RATINGS!!

(only rating shows that are ending... that I watched)

Rail Wars: B+
Guilty pleasure and good dose of comedy, nuanced romance and action. Light hearted with no serious plot.

Aldnoah.Zero: A-
Ok, this show was a solid A and nearly A+ until the last episode. I'm not going to spoil it if you haven't seen it but it literally changed everything in the end... Left me with a clear WTF moment.

Note: Season 2 announced for this

Captain Earth: B+
This was a 2 season stretch over 25 episodes and it was decently paced throughout. Character development was pretty good... Not enough back story IMO but that is fine. Plot twist @ the end was nice change of pace as they were starting to rinse and repeat the enemy encounters.

Blue Spring Ride: B
I've said it before, I don't typically do Shojo stuff. Something about this struck me. Decided to watch and was fed a sentimental story about love lost and refound and learning to love again. Very touching and pretty cool how they re-united almost as strangers.

That is all that HAS ended... there are actually a couple other series that will be ending this week or the next before the new season kicks off last week in September... I think first ep of the new season is on like Sept 28 or so.. I've picked up, or should I say, slated myself to watch probably 10 new series... This fall is going to be busy. I'll post up the other ratings once the shows finish... 

Don't Sleep On 'Em

If you haven't taken a look around at the shows that stayed this season I suggest you take a lil bit of time and check them out.

Akame ga Kill!
Rail Wars
Aldnoah
Sabagebu!
Blade Dance of the Elementars (sp?)

These shows show real promise... And deserve at least a chance. Akame ga Kill is awesome and will only get better.

New Shows With Some Promise

So I've been watching these new shows and Adobe aren't half bad.

Rail Wars seems like it's going to be a fun little entertaining show. Lil bit of ecchi going on with some quirky comedic moments. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on that one.

Aldnoah Zero looks interesting but I don't know if I can take another space humans vs. earthly humans story without there being some twist. That is unless it's a Gundam story.

Persona 4 and Tokyo ESP are both very interesting. The latter dealing with psychokinetic ability users at war... Can't wait to watch more. Persona is more about another reality... At least that's how it looks. I'll be watching and giving updates as things unfold.

There are a couple others but I'll get to them next time.

Matane!
