What To Avoid In Fall of 2013
Ok then now it is time to decide what anime is not worth your time this fall. This was a bit harder of a one to come up with since I could not find anything that I feel like out right dropping. I miss those days when there was at least one or two that I would outright drop just because they were terrible in some way or another. Maybe my standards for anime are just low.. you know like many other things. Anyway, lets get this over with and see if I can write something worth reading.
So lets kick things off with Walkure Romanze. I am sad because this anime had such potential. It was a rare anime based off a dating sim where there was more to it than just choosing who gets your semen in school. They had the whole jousting angle, not to mention the fact that the main character was more than some silent twit. So instead of playing to these great attributes what does this anime do, throws it away on panty shots. Look I understand, eroge and what not, but still you do not have to force it in here. Especially when you force it in the least convincing way... a horse eating skirts, for the love of god. It would have been slightly better of the skirts were at least caught on something and ripped. Sadly I saw way too many panty shots in the first couple of episodes for me to really qualify this one as worth watching. I mean yeah maybe if it was a hentai where the main star goes around sleeping with everyone, but even then.... Uhh man it is such a waste of a good anime too.
Then there is what I am calling the Rubber Stamp, Dai no Ace. Why do I call it the rubber stamp, well because it is about a stamped out as you can get for a sports anime. You have protagonist who loves baseball and through some fluke of nature has something that makes him good. Otherwise he is a retard who rarely thinks before he acts and just acts like an idiot overall. Maybe I was ruined by One Outs, but still this anime is as generic sports anime as you can get. So really it is not worth your time.. maybe pick up the manga, the manga is pretty far along I guess.
Huh wait maybe there is an anime I can drop, Meganbu. I guess my mind made me forget about this one. Now that I remember it, the anime really makes no sense at all. The glasses club... ok got it... wanting to make X-Ray glasses.. yes ok.. huh.. wait that is all that they do? Then the also discriminate against the one guy who doesn't have to wear glasses... wait.. what the hell? Then there is the giant transforming robot that turns into these glasses.... Yeah.. so maybe this one might be a good one to pretend is not there. Yeah it has a lot of pretty colors and all that stuff... but.. what the fuck is going on? Really the only thing this anime has going for it is the pretty colors. Otherwise it is just people acting really stupid. I know I like shows like that, but I do not know what it is about this one other than... it might be too real? I do not know... either way my brain consciously blacks this one out when I am searching for the anime to watch so... hmm yeah maybe this is the anime that you need to avoid.
So yeah that sums it up for what you should not watch. I will watch most of these anime for review purposes... but you know that is me I have to pretend that I run an anime review website from time to time.. you know instead of just paying for one and letting the bits rot while I do nothing. Well regardless, I hope this might help you make some other choices during the season. There are a lot of anime being simulcasted so make sure to check it out. If I did not mention an anime that means it falls under the realm of not good but not bad which is not a good or a bad thing. So keep that in mind if you do not see your favorite or most hated for the season on this list.
