Ore Monogatari - Great series overall honestly, and a nice change of pace from traditional shoujo romance series i felt. It finished off as i expected it would, but i'm not in the least bit disappointed with that. Takeo is a fantastic character to follow, and i could relate a lot to how he was in terms of relationships and selflessness in many ways. If you're after something a little bit detracted from the norm, i do recommend this. Strong comedy too.
Rokka - Rokka was an interesting show, it was by no means perfect, but it was certainly a thought provoking one. A lot of people i spoke to throughout the time it aired seemed to have no clue who was what going into this series but i seemed to have it down really early. I won't spoil anything as i do believe it's a good series to get you thinking "who what when where". The action was pretty strong too when it kicked it into gear. My main disappointment with the series was probably the animation, you could tell there was points in time where it fell so much in quality. A shame but still reasonably enjoyable regardless.
GATE - Gate was a fun show, really fun. I'm really looking forward to seeing it return in january, since it did leave it very much on a cliffhanger. It shows a lot in terms of how much our technical evolution has really impacted our world and very much how it would impact a medieval time period as well. The "war between modern and medieval" is pretty intense and you can no doubt expect how the whole thing pans out, if you can ignore the dragons and magic, etc. Characters are good fun, though i felt one or two of them didn't get the coverage they really deserved, being overshadowed by others. I'm hoping that in season 2 they can bring them more to the front and give them the limelight, since i expect there is a lot they can do with them. Highly recommended, would understand if people wanted to wait until January to watch it however.
Love Live! Season 1 - I'm rather surprised at myself, i actually managed to watch a full on idol series and not get fed up if it, haha. It's certainly enjoyable, but some of the characters piss me off so much. I hate Nico, dear god. Nozomi and Maki i do really like however. It's a pretty predictable storyline, but generally enjoyable regardless of that fact. Honoka(or Honkers as i like to call her) has some strong moments, but some really awful ones too near the tail end of the season. It kind of annoys me how much they do right, then throw out. Animation is good for close ups! Then the first scene i saw in episode 1 has dodgy animation immediately and i just wonder. It's obvious they budget is put into the song performances and close-ups, but i don't think it needed to be as obvious as that honestly.
Himouto Umaru-chan - I don't think there's much to say on this one. It was fun for the most part, very good for screen shots. A fairly easy going brainless watch, with a main character that will either piss you off or entertain you. She's very much the marmite affect i've seen going by other peoples reactions.
I realise i probably should rate them, but i just don't like doing that, so i'll leave it at this!
