31–60 Favourite Anime

I made my top 30 anime post about 2 years ago. How­ever, as I watched more anime, more star­ted to enter the list, which inev­it­ably caused oth­ers to drop out. Instead of los­ing what I wrote about them forever, I cre­ated a ‘those who just missed out’ page, devoted to hold­ing those that got kicked out of the top 30 in favour of newer, shi­nier stuff. But that list was start­ing to show its age itself. I was start­ing to watch anime that were not quite good enough to make my top 30, but bet­ter than those that had since dropped out. So to finally give those anime the credit they deserve, I decided the best method was to simply extend the top 30 fur­ther. So now you have this: 31–60.

Future Diary episode 14

The winter sea­son has so far been the sea­son of extraordin­ar­ily shitty open­ing songs. Even Per­sona 4 changed it’s kick­ass ori­ginal song to some other dull thing. With all that com­pet­i­tion elim­in­ated, Future Diary takes the award for the best open­ing from an anime I’m cur­rently watch­ing. But hey, I talked about why it’s good before, so let’s try find some­thing new to write about. Oh who am I kid­ding. It’s just going to be yet another post about how awe­some Yuno is.

Nisemonogatari episode 2

Well shit, I wasn’t plan­ning on doing this. I wanted to blog Nym­pho­gear, but the second epis­ode had the auda­city to develop a sense of self-awareness, which makes it a whole lot less funny to take the piss out of. I also wanted to cover Daily Dudes, but I’d prob­ably just spend my time explain­ing all the jokes and thereby killing them. Besides, it clashes with Future Diary any­way. So instead I turned to Nise­monogatari, giv­ing me the chance to dust down Ye Olde Tome of Shaft Jokes, which I haven’t had a real chance to use since Arakawa ended (Denpa was too reserved and Madoka was too well craf­ted to make proper fun of). So cue head tilts and close-ups of eyeballs!

Future Diary episode 13

Even though it was last year when I wrote my last Future Diary post, there hasn’t exactly been people clam­our­ing to see these return.  I think there was a grand total of one guy won­der­ing where my next post was. Thank you that one guy, for mak­ing me feel loved. I’m just going to assume there were thou­sands of silent lurk­ers des­per­ately seek­ing for the next Future Diary post. Yeah, that was what the recent spike in hits was. It had noth­ing to do with the usual new-season splurge of people read­ing first impres­sions and search­ing for the chart. It was just people who like Future Diary. Yeah.

Aquarion EVOL episode 1

As the new sea­son premi­ers roll to a close, my brain starts to get fried and I gradu­ally run out of new things to say about each new unin­spired drivel that Japan rolls out. Thank god then for Aquar­ion EVOL for being the goofi­est fuck­ing thing and giv­ing me plenty of high­lights to talk about.

Another episode 1

Oh no, not Another first impres­sion post. I thought there was Another anime Scamp still had to write about. I don’t want to hear about Another first epis­ode. I won­der if he’ll use Another piece of word­play using the title.

.…yeah OK, I’m done milk­ing that joke.

Daily Lives of Highschool Boys episode 1

I was rather dis­ap­poin­ted to dis­cover that the first epis­ode con­sisted of basic­ally those pre-air epis­odes all over again, with barely 5 minutes of new con­tent. It does give me an oppor­tun­ity to talk about them prop­erly this time, for all my intent was when I last pos­ted about them was simply to cor­rect my mis­judg­ment in the sea­son pre­view. Now though, I get to talk about why they are brilliant.

Ano Natsu de Matteru episode 1

OK fine, I admit it. I didn’t even try. I came into this with pre­con­ceived ideas of what this would be like and why I would hate it with every fibre of my being. But I must give everything that is not instantly iden­ti­fi­able as pedo-bait at least a chance to prove itself, because every now and then a Kan­nagi will show up and sur­prise me with witty writ­ing and enter­tain­ing char­ac­ters. All this anime did was made Ano Hana look great in comparison.
