gem2nikiTrying to clear up my anime list....I barely remember what happened since this was two seasons ago. But I still managed to write a lot?! So I'll break them in parts...
Buddy Complex
Chuunibyou 2
D-Frag!
Gin no Saji 2
Golden Time
Hamatora
Hoozuki no Reitetsu
Buddy Complex
Time traveling mecha anime! The first episode was really compelling. Aoba is the type of character I like but I ended up sympathizing with Bizon (one sided relationship with Hina /sobs). Dio is super tsundere for Aoba XD This a show literally about "coupling" and uses word like proposing when two people need to sync up. I was hoping for better depth with the characters and plot but it spent most of the time fighting the antagonist in a team rocket-villain of the week that it became too formulaic. The ending for the first part explains quite a bit of the mystery behind time traveling, so it had a decent ending. There's a season 2 coming up soon. I hope they make things more complex and less like a pattern. It is called Buddy "Complex"!!
Chuunibyou 2
This was cute but its kinda sad they haven't made much progress in the start of season 2. Rika went back to her eyepatch self... It felt like a downgrade to the first season. There was a lot more depth in the previous season and was there really a reason to add a new character? The progress of everyone's relationship keeps reverting back instead of moving forward -_- At least it was pretty to look at.
D-Frag!
I really like D-Frag! that I drew a fanart of it!! Usually anime with too many girls I stray away from, but these aren't typical moe anime girls that love games. They're crazy. All of them! And I love crazy anime girls XD I really like Takao (big boobs girl) and her huge crush with Kenji XD I feel like the anime kinda pushes them together with so many scenes, which was surprising...will it ever come to fruition tho... I don't really like Roka (short blonde girl). She's kinda too strong and keeps going into her dark mode. The male characters in the series are also very quirky...there's that masochist and that takes pleasure in getting in pain. This was a very fun series! There's a good balance of male and female characters. So its actually just a high school comedy than a harem (from all the promo).
Gin no Saji 2
It's like the first season...and I can barely remember any plot points beside some parts being sad. Like having to leave school because you have to support your family. There was the deer skinning too that was kinda interesting...Well, its just as as good as the first season, maybe more melancholic. So that's all I will say.
Golden Time
Anime JDrama. So much drama!!! I think people get annoyed with Banri as a main character haha. Also I remember his name and Koko and Linda because of how many times they keep screaming their names. This is just full of twist and turns but never going all the way. My cousin and I were rooting for Linda, but alas..Tho I think its kinda nice to see actual relationship being developed and shown along the way than as an aftermath of who gets who. The animation is very wonky at times but they do some nice animation at certain scenes like Linda and Banri's conversation at the balcony. Also its a nice fresh air for an anime romance drama to set in college!! I don't remember if I did like the ending...but this show seems like it has a high chance of being a Jdrama.
Hamatora
The quality in this show is so mixed. Like there's some interesting social stuff going on about discrimination with people who have special powers... but then they introduce some idiotic episodes like involving a bad guy who releases pheromones on guys by doing abs crunches?? Like what. Hamatora tries to be special with not taking itself seriously...and yet it has some serious/dark topics that should be addressed more seriously. There's a lot of shock value midway and the end, which kept it interesting for me. But they also keep going back to the stupid episodes afterward orz; There's a second season I'm still watching that's a big improvement. I'll review more when that ends. But its like Pyscho-Pass/Getbackers/Dumb Comedy.
Hoozuki no Reitetsu
Salaryman comedy set in Hell. Some stuff are too Japanese for me to understand, but its a comedy about work! Not much to say since its like episodic gag comedy.
