List of shows and expectations: ------------------------------- Symphogear G | High hopes. Second season to Symphogear. Expect Hibiki to get more out of Gungnir, as well as see more Relics. Q2 maybe. Shiki | No idea what this will be like, might not make it past Q1. Maybe horror elements but nothing actually in that regard (focused on). When They Cry | I expect a lot of dying, and lots of suspicion between all the characters. Also weirdly designed characters too, physique wise. Q2/Q3 potential. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya | Big name, comedy with "extra" elements included in it. We'll see. Q2/Q3 potential, Girls Und Panzer | High hopes. The "martial art of tanks" sounds pretty stupid but it has promise and it's held highly by people. Q3 potential. GJ-bu | Will probably be dropped in Q1 really, but it might make Q2 too. TTGL | Super big name, will be Q3 potential for sure. As for what it's about I'm not sure but it's a huge name regardless. Durarara!! | Not sure what to expect. "Baccano but better" is all I got so better than Baccano. Q2/Q3 potential. Railgun | Q3 potential for sure, I doubt it'll be bad enough to be dropped. Mikasa should be good. Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro | Hoping for Q3, this sounds good enough to make it. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei | Suicidal teacher and students who get involved, hmm. Supposed to be a comedy, too. Q2 I'd say. Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji | Gambling to get out of gambling, heh. Q2 potential. I'm hoping Q3, but that might not make it. Mononoke | I have no idea how it'll be at all. I like the sound of it but no idea how it'll actually place. Psycho-Pass | Sci-fi police who have to deal with someone who breaks the system. Reminds me of I, Robot Mushishi | No idea at all, honestly. It has a second season so people liked but, but no idea how it'll place. Cromartie High School | Despite how it may be, I've low hopes for it. Q1, maybe Q2. Revolutionary Girl Utena | Old show which is referred to for feminist views and other things regarding the movement, promising. Q2. Ika Musume | Comedy, I guess? Q2, but maybe Q3 potential. Fate/Zero | SAIBAAAAAAA Q3 potential for sure, I doubt the series will let me down enough for it to be dropped. Kino no Tabi | I'm expecting a relaxed show that will be pretty basic but still good. Q2 I'd say. Extra notes: x.y (0.1 -> 9.9) for most episodes. If one scores a perfect 10 then write something like "TEN" or "10!". For Q3 the "FIN?" column has one extra space. That's for more precise calculation. (8.75 > 8.72 > 8.70 deciding Q3 for me) Always be sure to leave one space before and after each |. It makes the tables look far better. Feel free to use the entire space allocated (bar the space before and after each |) for the comments. For the rest, keep the text in the middle of the row to improve readability. Q1 +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |List| Name | EP1 | STATUS | Other comments | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | I knew that it'd have a good first episode to introduce to series but fucking hell, that was really good. | | 01 | Fate/Zero | TEN | YEAH | A lot of stuff explained and not really delved into but enough explained to get you hooked into the show. | | | | | | If it keeps up this, fairly certain it will make Q3 with no trouble at all. | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 02 | Girls Und Panzer | 7.3 | Pending. | Not much happened, but it was okay. PTSD tank girl seems a little bland really. Might pick up later. | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 03 | Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei | 5 | OUT! | It has no place in this list - not good or bad, but deserves to be watched in full in it's own time. Q1, out. | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | It's promising at least. I hope it sheds the comedy element very quickly, else it'll fall behind. | | 04 | When They Cry (Higurashi) | 7.5 | Pending. | There is a level of distrust already, and the card game showed how easy it is for them to hide/notice things. | | | | | | Could quickly develop into some sort of scenario where it's kill or be killed. Wonder what triggers it all. | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | What a great little oddity to come across. It's silly, but it has this air that it's setting up for something | | 05 | Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro | 8.5 | Pending. | far better down the road. Neuro is especially of interest, and his demonic look is very interesting. Maybe how | | | | | | this will progress will be a mystery in and of itself? Q2 for sure. | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 06 | Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann | TEN | YEAH | Jesus fuck that was so much fun to watch. Q3 potential, ez. | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | | | 07 | Shinryaku! Ika Musume | 6.8 | Pending. | Beyond the humour, not much going for it. It's well animated, but the humour alone might not get it far. Q2? | | | | | | | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | Odd physiques and hairstyles, in a bad way. They look inhuman. Megumi is a little out of place in this whole | | 08 | Shiki | 5.5 | Pending. | place. She feels like a Yuno clone in a way too, obsessing (literally) over Yuuki-kun. The first episode is | | | | | | largely unpromising. Might develop further but no idea if it will improve later on. | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 09 | Cromartie High School | 2.5 | OUT. | That was Cromartie, huh. Far too random and short, I don't think it has a place on this list. | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | This is the Symphogear that I remember enjoying, for sure. My memory of Symphogear itself is hazy, though. | | 10 | Symphogear G | 9.2 | Pending! | Requires a rewatch. As for Symphogear G, it feels great. The first episode panned out super well. Equal focus. | | | | | | Hibiki wasn't focused on too much, equal level of action and talking (and singing). Was good. My Q3 hope. | +----+-----------------------------------+-----+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | | |
