Wrapping Up Winter 2014 Anime

I'll just do a quick sum-up of my season instead. No pictures, sorry. :(

Golden Time - Overall a pretty strong anime in story and character. Art production's not the best which can kind of affect the anime. Unfortunately ending did not leave a remarkable impression for the anime itself. Recommended if you just started watching anime or looking for a drama.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren - Much more laid-back and lighter than the first season. Very slice of life in most episodes. Enjoyable, but I would have preferred this series in a smaller package (OVA, ONA, etc).

Seitokai Yakuindomo* - Great start and quite entertaining. Not as exciting compared to the first season and sometimes can be boring.

Nagi no Asukara - My big favourite through the fall and winter anime season. A lovely story with an uplifting last episode, I found it a really sweet anime of growing up and feelings. The characters are so well-written which makes me even more impressed. Beautiful art too. An absolute recommendation! Watch it if you haven't!

And so far on the anime I'm watching that will last through the spring anime season:

Nisekoi - I think this is a mish-mash of tropes I've seen a lot in anime, which results I guess, in an okay series. It's not very original and feels derived. The main characters sometimes act so shy that this part of their personality overpowers them and annoys me honestly. Also, I am the other half of the watchers who would prefer this anime without the trademark peculiar shots its studio SHAFT is known for. It would work though, if Nisekoi is more unusual which it isn't really. Execution needs a bit of polishing!

Art is nice for the most part I guess. I also like clariS' opening theme. Hopefully, somehow the story will turn around or at least something happens.

A pretty calm season, I think. Nagi no Asukara really left me a mark, just like Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo last year (sorry, other anime XP).
