A Thousand Words in One Space

I have a stack of more season-end reviews, a couple for shows that actually ended, and a couple that I think are safe to review now based on their second-to-last episodes airing this week. Overall, I actually am impressed with how this season ended, it kind of stalled midway and sort of had me not paying attention to it, but many shows pulled out the stops for their final episodes and it paid off.

Some say the current state of anime leans too far towards the same-old same-old, the moeshit, the fluff, or whatever you like to call it. Perhaps I don’t have rich tastes, but my selection from this season’s pile has so far been pretty good to me, more or less. One new first look, Gin no Saji, which started last week and I’m a week late on, and a handful of currently airing mentions on some of the cream-of-the-crop entries this week.

[Asenshi] Rozen Maiden (2013) - 01 [D71A0693].mkv_snapshot_04.18_[2013.07.04_23.23.39]

Well the new season has begun, and it has begun in earnest with the premiere of the new Rozen Maiden reboot from Studio DEEN. I had my reservations, admittingly, because DEEN has done some average work in the past, but they seem to be treating this one, at least from the beginning, pretty damn close to the original and more. Also premiering earlier in the week was Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou, and I also nabbed and watched Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku, Servant x Service, and Stella Jogakuin Koutouka C3-bu, so let’s get some fun started.
