Midsummer season impression ’104

I haven’t been following a lot of series this season, not because I don’t have the time for it but I’m putting it to better use.. *cough*playing Starcraft II*cough*. Check out YoU’s post too, you might like his echhi-side *wink*wink*
Click here for my impression at the start of this season.
Here’s my thoughts and list of series I’ve been watching or have dropped and why:

Shiki

In my opinion, the very best show of this season. I didn’t think I would like it because it has vampires and stuff in it..
If you haven’t seen the movie “Vampire Sucks“, don’t even think about watching it. I thought it would be a funny seeing a vampire spoof.. well.. no.. it SUCKS
Continuing with this show, Shiki isn’t your romance vampire series like Twilight(fail) or vampire knight but a thrilling horror oriented psychological one, so no epic fight scenes and no chidori/resengan here and there. Somehow the series knew to captivate me with the very first episode and now we’re five episodes further and it is still amazing. Know what to expect though, it starts out quite slowly but at least it gives time to develop the story which is a huge plus. I think if you love series as Bakemonogatari, you’d like or even love this show too.
Hate vampires? Well think again after you watch Shiki, Edward is a nooby wimp compared to Natsuno.

Agamami SS

The first arc with the cutest girl, Morishima!!!, has finished already and the second arc, Kaoru “Sexhair!” Tanamachi, already has two episodes.
I found the first arc pretty cute to be honest but this series is quite plotless and it’s not very coherent. It’s like being dropping in the middle of a eroge game, it IS an adaption from an eroge nevertheless. The main character, Tachibana, has such weird fetishes.. with each heroin a new one .
Only reason I’m watching it is because of the cute characters and well.. it’s the only romance series of this season =( need to get my dose from somewhere =p. Looking forward to see how this arc end and which heroin is next. Only two left which catch my eye, the class rep and Maya from the swimteam. I wonder if there will be an OVA of Miya (bro-con lol)

Ookami-san

Started out weird and continued to stay weird. It júst got interesting with episode 5 however, I’m still planing to watch this.
I want to see the relationship between Ryouko and Ryoushi work out ^^”. Had too high of an expectation for this one, which sucks because this series isn’t thát bad but still..

Occult Academy

Moderately interesting show, the crazy stuff happening in the series is fairly enjoyable and Yoko Hikasa, voice actor for Mio in K-ON!, is voicing the main character.
The story itself isn’t really striking and it seems that the things that are happening are just random.

High school of the dead

Thé oversubbed show of this season, if gg is doing it you know it’s oversubbed. It’s a pretty good show, never watched an anime with zombies before. Fun to watch but not worth hyperventilating for =p. No explanations to why the zombie plague broke out yet but I’m sure it will come with the upcoming episodes. This show did get me to think about what I would do during a zombie apocalypse, what weapons I’d get, where to find food and shelter, transportation and procreation when all the zombies are “dead” .. just kidding about that last point.
