User blog comment:Ultraprime2/Fairy Tail Wiki - Anime vol. 3: Spring 2016/@comment-24546844-20160704013010

Okay, this was a nice season overall but I think compared to the previous one it could be better, I guess. Anyway, let's see how it went:

>> First of all, Best Series goes to:


 * Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge! This is definitely one of the best comedy anime I've watched. I'm amazed how the creators took such a simple premise and made something so great, so much that you're captivated by the atmosphere of the anime. The show in itself is likeable, the characters are good and the situations created in every episode are a mix of absurd, idiot and funny that you can't really hold back your laughter and at the same time it's so calm and relaxing. I was laughing my ass out through every episode and after they ended I found myself waiting anxiously for the next week to come.

>> Now on the other ones:


 * Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu: I enjoyed this one really much. The plot is interesting and the action is really good and I'm simply glad that this isn't your regular "trapped in another world" generic harem anime. This is one of those shows that makes you want to read the original material because you need to understand what's going on and that's probably what I'll be doing.


 * Kiznaiver: I'll have to disagree with Ultra here, except by the fact that it deserved some more episodes to develop the characters and the Kizna Project, to me this anime was quite likeable. I have never watched a Trigger original anime before (and this is a shame) so I'm not familiar with their style but I did like how this show was structured, switching between comedy and drama. Also, I like the discussion about connecting people, and though it may seem cliche and predictable, the conclusion at the final is pretty satisfying.


 * Flying Witch: I wonder how can a show be so good when there's s little to talk about in it. Flying Witch is the kind of show that you watch for no better reason than to relax and forget about your worries, and it's simply too effective at that. Nothing really happens and yet by the end you still have that smile on your face and the feeling of satisfaction.


 * Space Patrol Luluco: This one was a strange case. I really liked it at the start, and I don't feel it has gotten worse by the end but I simply was less and less hooked to it from the middle onward. The reason is, as I said, I haven't seen any Trigger animation before and this show was turned into a a reference-fest and I couldn't get most of those without looking for them. The good thing is that it motivated me to watch the other shows of the studio so I should probably rewatch it when I do so.


 * Boku no Hero Academia: Strangely I was almost completely apathetic to this show even though I do like the manga. This is probably because I already knew exactly what was going to happen, and nothing else caught my attention as I think the animation was less than what I was expecting. Even the moment I was expecting the most seemed way inferior compared to the original. At least I'm glad that there's a second season coming and the arcs on it are much more action packed and the true plot will start being revealed (tough a third season would be needed).

>> Now for the bad ones:


 * Mayoiga: This was undoubtedly the worst anime I watched this season. It takes anything that could make a good story and destroys it. When you have a cast of about 30 characters and not even the two main characters are even slightly interesting it's obvious you have a problem. The stupidity of their decisions is so stupid at some point I was hoping they were being controlled or being influenced by some hallucinogen substance but they were just that idiot. The backstories of the few characters that the producers bothered to give are laughable and so are the "villains". The efforts to make it better at the end only makes the show worse. Just watching this weekly was painful effort.


 * Bakuon!!: Moe on motorbikes with some ecchi thrown in. Yep, no. The attempts at comedy where terrible, save for some rare exceptions. I couldn't even muster up my motivation for watching all the episodes yet. The motorcycle trivia would be nice if I had any interest in motorcycles at all. Don't even know why I started this at all.


 * Pan de Peace: Plotless short about pan. The only reason it couldn't be worse is because it were only three minutes per episode, and yet it left that sensation the I were wasting three minutes of my life every week...

>> Best OPs:


 * Tanaka-kun's Utatane Sunshine: This opening matched the show's atmosphere perfectly. It's nice and relaxing and still so catchy. Definitely my favorite.


 * Re:Zero's Redo: This one could pass unnoticed because the anime skips it so much but it's really good. The visuals are almost hypnotizing. I actually like this short version more than the full version.


 * Boku no Hero's THE DAY: Both the audio and visual parts of this one are good though not really amazing.

>> Best Endings:


 * Kiznaiver's Hajimari no Sokudou: My favorite ending this season, I think this song is really beautiful both the melody and the lyrics. Also, though simple, the visuals do hold some meaning if you search for it.


 * Luluco's Pipo Password: I liked this one very much too. It's so cute and relaxing it sort of contrasts to the craziness of the series.


 * Tanaka-kun's BON BON: In the same way as Luluco's this one contrasts the series atmosphere with a catchy, upbeat song. Still it fit really well.

>> For the next season:


 * I still don't know what to watch of this season as not a lot of titles caught my interest. I'm sure I'll be watching Orange because I've started the manga and liked it quite a bit. Maybe I give a chance to 91 Days, Re:Life and of course the continuation of Re:Zero. What I'm looking forward the most is the Koe no Katachi movie, but I know it will take a while until it's available anywhere.

Well, this is it, it was an okay season. Feel free to comment. See ya.
