Yeah, the shows have aired now, and I could just watch them instead of semi-blindly guessing as to their quality… but where’s the fun in that?

 

Cheat Sheet

 

 

 

The Series

Prince of Stride: Alternative

Manga: N/A

Light Novel: N/A

Animation Production: Madhouse

“Like Free, but worse” seems like a winning formula, but without specifying the degree of how much worse it actually will be, this could be a disaster. Luckily, I have a solution:

Schrodinger’s anime, baby. No matter what happens, I’ll be right.

 

 

Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World)

Manga: N/A

Light Novel: N/A

Animation Production: Kyoto Animation

All I see on my internets is bitching about how this show has the ever-dreaded fanservice, like the existence of female sexuality is a personal affront to these pseudotaku’s ISIS-tier morals. Christ, am I glad Japan cares as much about whiny western cuntfucks as I do.

So anyway, I’m giving it a 10/10 cuz it’s KyoAni and fuck the Christian Left.

 

 

HaruChika: Haruta to Chika wa Seishun Suru (Haruta & Chika)

Manga: N/A

Light Novel: N/A

Animation Production: P.A. Works

I couldn’t find anything about this show without actually watching it (fuck that) or the PV (fuck that as well), so I just decided to read Haruta Nikki and extrapolate accordingly. Unfortunately, Haruta Nikki (Cactus’s Secret) isn’t online, and while I do own the fucking thing, it’s a bit hard to screencap things when they’re not on a screen. So… that’s why I’m going to read (the first part of) Cactus and Radio instead.

Conflict: some cute girl wants a boyfriend.

Resolution: some cute girl gets a boyfriend.

I had to go back to sixth-grade writing studies to find an analysis tool dumb enough to handle what I just read. And this is what I have arbitrarily decided HaruChika is tangentially about? No deal, Japan.

 

 

Koukaku no Pandora (Pandora in the Crimson Shell)

Manga: N/A

Light Novel: N/A

Animation Production: AXsiZ | Studio Gokumi

The manga is awful, but the cat girl is cute, so– Wait, what’s that? I can’t find the motivation to continue the previews when most of the season has aired anyway? Well then I should have thought of that before I didn’t finish them last month. Haha, got me there, didn’t I?

Whatever, guess I’ve gotta cut my losses on something again and start up my posts for another season that I will realistically never get close to finishing. So let’s continue the cycle and hope that Gurren Lagann was right about spirals all along.
