[ Review / Season ] Bungo Stray Dogs S2 : The Frog, the Bird and the Well.



Three days before New Year !!! 2017 !!! cant help but to cram bunch of posts regarding Autumn 2016 anime series. I have atleast written this review as soon as the anime's last episode aired. I was pre-occupied with my feelings and I decided to keep it in check to this day.
--
I once have watched the episode of "Air Gear" , about the frog in the well. Along those lines were, the frog wouldn't be able to know what is that eerie compassion towards the horizon, "anyway". The character who said it , in my humblest opinion, seen himself as the frog whom given up on the tiniest possibility. A HOME.




In contrast with the series " Air Gear ", the frog which is represented by the Detective Agency on the series "Bungo Stray Dogs", haven't given up on the possibility. The frog knows his home, his world. The frog knows he belongs to the well. The bird represents the Port Mafia, whom also knows his home, of course birds are free.  It can stay anywhere, it could exist anywhere yet the entity holds importance of the existence of the well. Port Mafia are free people. They belong to an organization at the same time they are not. 
 Thus when come a time when the well is being threatened, those entities knew coexists with the other , became wary. The invisible force that threatens their necessity held the role of the foreign guild on the series' setting.

[ Review/Update ] What so - Fall Anime 2016


Japan is seemingly coping with the unexpected! from the sinkhole in Fukuoka to surviving the earthquake with small tsunami strikes in Fukushima. Despite of the recent incidents, look how their autumn is rolling ; 

from the looks it's definitely a luxuriant Fall. The color is something to love beyond your open windows.As much as the color , luxurious feeling Autumn gives to Japan, these series didnt fall behind for it's anime patrons.

From Summer 2016, LEFTOVERS;
Days- so far, character development is sturdy; it still lacks on action for soccer play. 

Sousei no Onmyouji- dropped. I'm feeling bad but fan service wont get me satisfied. I'll switch with the manga since the concept is really good. Anime is **mn bad.

Fall 2016, Watching Lists:
  Let me just have a pure opinion, this is the season with bad schedules. I have to watch anime on Monday since Saturday, Sunday and few from Wednesday have the anime releases (HorribleSubs release) with worth the watch.
---

Sangatsu no Lion - It was evident that the series focused on drama and growth of the main character/MC instead of anime growth towards shogi. The anime's arrangement is somewhat confusing most of the times which soften your impressions per episode but the arrangements (as for whole series) didn't lessen the influence of telling his framework. Also, it's discernible that the visuals/colors lifts the mood each episode.

 
All Out - Happy birthday to this guy! 11/23~ All Out is Eyeshield 21 in the making and more. Im not educated to what Rugby is or what technicalities they do. Early guess, if that was the real case the anime is housing, then it will probably tackle the season with the rugby club gathering members and training them. Somehow the guess was right but dont be sadden because it has more.

The anime cased the right attitude towards the sports, under their coach's training. If only he isnt that old , I probably listed him as my husbando. He shown wit and his insights. Every episode shows the individuality of the characters, and attachments on their roles on rugby. It has no foundation to be a seeded team, no formidable enemy to look forward through, it's new, fun and promising where the team will go through.

Bungo Stray Dogs S2- The first four episodes kept me lost , where to place my feelings. Those episodes gives you no clues of relativity to the previous season. The fourth episode, however, concluded the pinnacle/culmination for the first and for the second season (if you look towards Osamu Dazai's POV). It's witty, lamenting and holds bit of the future. 

Same technicalities with the first. Literary beautiful piece.

Fune wo Amu - speaking of literary pieces, this series takes me back to the heart. It's attacking me personally. I'm a man who values meanings on words used and by watching , it as if I probably hold their place also as my own. The MC/main is readable despite of his , sometimes, lost for words on a crowded place. Getting the mood from the secondary character is new, everything is situational. I dont know how I will place it since Im biased when it comes to this kind of topic.

Nevertheless, it's a quiet, informative, light, scenic and positively loving kind of series.

Haikyuu !!! S3 - Things about the anime to the manga are the focal point chosen and highlights of ideology. It definitely didnt let me down unto that extents. Im so happy! and so sorry for our lost. Coach Ukai's seiyuu passed away and as his role is passed down starting from the 9th episode to the series new probable projects.


Hibike Euphonium S2 - I felt so tacky when Kumiko's voice actress is having monologues on the first three episodes. HAHAH~ The second season deduced the internal affairs which was left on the first. I appreciate how serious and real the situations are happening now in the anime. It's fun with the service. not fond of Yuri though. haha~

Nanbaka - pure gag, but it really kicks in whenever the story is introduced.

Occultic; Nine - I heard good feedbacks on this series, I tried and sometimes got me lost. The arrangement is unpredictable too, sometimes main story or idea appears at the beginning, sometimes either at the middle or at the ending. Because of this, many idle talks are added, sometimes it suffocates and makes it too dry. There are definitely more questions than answers. Nevertheless, despite of the difficulty , the twist or the ending for the series to cease is definitely a must watch.
------------------
 I really want to break down it pieces to pieces but i'll do it on early Winter Season.
----------

  

Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari - Gao Gao! Haha. Makes you feel that having a son may not be so bad.
  

Watashi ga Motete Dosunda - Im definitely straight when watching this.
Yuri on Ice!!! - Spoilers are everywhere. As much as the hype goes, it really is good. 

WWW Working/Web Working - I never laughed loudly as much as Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun did.

[ Season Review ] Just back to 1/2


So I'm on my Thursday [Spring Anime 2016] review, I have to skip the Tuesday review ( Seisen Cerberus and Hundred ) for the reason that I put them to hold because it wasn't really as good as I have predicted. But it doesnt mean the fact that it isnt worth the watch, Im at the last episodes of Hundred and probably will post it soon.

Sousei no Onmyouji :

      Let's talk about being the favourite, in my life, fantasy and action have brought great anime to watch , underclass of Onmyoujis, such as Kekkaishi and Shounen Onmyouji. Both anime contrasts the time settings and used of powers exorcising spirtual beings. Both featured friendship and hinted it with romance, likewise with Sousei no Onmyouji. 
     Sousei focuses on two characters to bring out romance and be their very best. Their time sets with the present growing together new techniques to polish among the odds of the elderly tasks. The first two episodes impressed me with the maybes { is this the battle between the main at first then proceed with the third party characters or  the reunion of the two separate families ( Benio's and Rokuro's)  against the third party. } since most, comes in group than 1 on 1 fighting enemies. Inferring the character's identity were at present, character's intro were good and made an impact but bleached my stomach for the improvements to swallow. Situation's and character's development are tattered and all over the place, specially the character's design . Everything is in contrasts, where it was good and bad or as both. 
  - There were times that it takes (exaggerated #) 85% of the time frame for fan services and all of the sudden the crucial matter will appear at the latter end of the episode.
  - As much as I'm a visual eater, I've considerably lowered myself watching the series for the plot. I noticed how weird and distorted the designs are when a character'body is featured as whole or on torso level. Frank as it may sound, It was kinda slightly better watching H+ series, where all of the money for the production was banked for the "best part" (only). Everymoment I was wishing the series comes up with 75% of fighting scenes just to get the justice done. Even the opening song is better than the run time. The animation is paltry and selected.
 - On episode 8, they introduced a character, and an organization, I was thinking an another maybe, where (main characters) condition under the organization heads. Of the next episodes they were nothing more but a mention.. It holds potential but they were rated to third. Overall, it became the margin of how weak the main characters are ( and same situation applies as the anime approaches to the 20th episode ).
 - Potential in the making, the dire situation in the anime focuses on the Hinagaki Incident. It was a good reason to start the chemistry of the two, Benio and Rokuro. Mood of the characters started to make sense and closed the bond to fight the big boss. It doesnt change the fact that the anime is circulating the sense where (the main character's important person suddenly puts in danger) , the main character agonizes for being weak, (train for atleast a period of time, with no formal training) and then fight because he thinks he's too strong. Then the big boss came laughing because it's fucking true
 - Selection wise, it's definitely aint that good to watch the series but the mood and character's pressure is there. I was really wishing it was really that good enough to go for the hype.

[ Daily Review ] Boku no Hero Academia and Bungou Stray Dogs

I know I should have posted this before I make an official announcement of getting back but, I really want to get things smooth so here's a late pre-review for the two anime series.
---

Anime Title : Boku no Hero Academia
Episode # 1
Genre : Action, School life, Fantasy
---

I know beforehand My Hero Academy or Boku no Hero Academia, it was latter popular by the quarter end of 2015. The rumor of making it into animation was proven when the series got it's own hosting website and preview videos were uploaded , months before the airing. Setting those aside, My Hero is certainly one of the good series to check out this year. Character designs really bring that "manga/comic" side of the story's theme. Deku's voice, the main protagonist, reminds me of Yowamushi Pedal's Onoda Sakamichi, the character's voice really gave the -oomfh-, fragile part displayed on the manga. I will not give anymore further details since I wanna keep my expectations low to a good series like this. Everything is decent.

Ah, It kinda reminds me of Law of Ueki, both of them is JUSTICE DRIVEN. haha. 

---
Anime Title : Bungo Stray Dogs
Episode # 1
Anime Genre : Mystery, Supernatural, Comedy, Action
---

Missing K : Project already? Then this may be the chance to experience it'll over again! ( or so. ) Haha. It was certainly magical, odd and simply loving. There's no to question on designs, episode build up or what. All I have to do is watch the man go wreck, and conclude something out. It's certainly the story focusing about supernatural powers plus being a detective is quite dark but! it's what making your curiosity drive into this anime crazy. Let's just hope for something more. (Hoping there's a stunning bae around)

If it's definitely just like the Kings and all about killing and suicidal terms of the character, I'll freely blog about it immediately! (HAHAHA) (Even I is turning stupid about this anime) xD
