winter anime 2013

Time flies when you’re having fun, and I never had this much fun from watching a bunch of anime for the past three months. It’s a shame how fun things don’t last forever. It’s been a fun ride, but it’s time to move on. Here is my definitive review of all the anime I’ve watched for the past three months, all in glorious alphabetical order.

Sakura-con, one of the US’s major anime conventions, has come and gone for another year this past weekend. Luckily it’ll be returning next year.

The pretty animation, the funny gags, Norio Fucking Wakamoto. Based SynergySP. Season 2 was, well, ‘good’. Not as ‘good’ as Season 1 in my opinion but stayed true the manga, which is great but in a way that they literally copied the scenes panel to panel, and use the exact same line of dialogue. Godammit, JC Staff. I was then happy to see Hayate come onto the big screen…for a disappointing 60 minutes.
