Had some free time. Re-watched all of Mirai Nikki again in one day. Cos, damn it's good. Still as good as when I watched it when it first aired.
Even when knowing what will happen in the story, and all the surprises. I was still super-anxious to keep watching and see how it went on.
The survival game, battle of wits, altering future events, and a whole load of crazy characters worked really well. And the comedy bit at the end of each episode was a really nice touch.
It's definitely one of my faves.
Checked most of the 1st episodes for the new spring shows.
Ones I'm interested in following:
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - Duh~
I watched the old OVA. The flow of that was really broken, and came out with no idea heads or tails of what happened. Considering I've loved the new show, I'm sure they'll do a better job this time with Stardust.
Akuma no Riddle - A whole class of schoolgirl killers. what's not to like.
Captain Earth - Giant robo merging in outer space!
Haikyuu!! - Guys volleyballing. gotta have a sports anime to follow.
Kanojo ga Flag o Oraretara - Guy that can see flags appearing on ppl's heads (e.g. death flag, romance flag...). Easily one of the funniest and best shows in this bunch. Definitely gonna keep watching.
No Game No Life - An 'elite gamer' brother and sister pair, dropped into another world where everything is decided by games. Nice idea, hope it'll turn out good.
Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin - A guy moving into a flat with a female ghost, one of the original founders of the island that was mysteriously murdered.
Hitsugi no Chaika - Mystery girl carrying a coffin. Too early to say if I like it or not...
Oh, and there's the sci-fi space anime
Knights of Sidonia. It might not appeal to everyone. But I'm liking it so far.
The character style is pretty ugly, and one of the most generic storylines that could be possible. Guy living underground in some space colony, a skilled pilot (from training in a simulator machine everyday). Then joining the above-ground army and starts fighting aliens.
And it has a really cool op song, by Angela.
On the other hand, not sure why the guys at Anime News Network gave Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii's 1st episode
high scores like 4-4.5/5. I thought the whole show was really plain and average and anything over 3 is giving too much. Maybe it'll get better later on, or there's something likeable about the show that I can't see. dunno.
