Final Season Review: Fall 2015

It is time to put it all together. The good, the bad, the worst. Here are my charts and final thoughts on the anime of Fall 2015 as a whole.

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (25.12.-29.12.)

Last edition of the year...

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (18.12.-24.12.)

Merry Christmas!

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (11.12.-17.12.)

Heading to the climax!

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (4.12.-10.12.)

A whole lot of ACTION!

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (27.11.-5.12.)

Lots of stage setting this week.

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (20.11.-26.11.)

OH MY LOVE!

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (13.11.-19.11.)

Erza cuts down the slow-paced One Piece...

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (6.11.-12.11.)

Quite a bit of action this week...

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (30.10.-5.11.)

One Piece and Fairy Tail continue to battle out highlight moments as battles and events come to a head in both arcs.

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (23.10.-29.10.)

And another week goes by.

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (17.10.-22.10.)

Another week goes by...

Anime Weekly Review: Fall 2015 (3.10.-16.10.)

Beginning of Fall Season. A new PC and a first glance at some anime.

Final Season Review: Summer 2015

It is time to put it all together. The good, the bad, the worst. Here are my charts and final thoughts on the anime of Summer 2015 as a whole.

Anime Weekly Review: Summer 2015 (18.9.-30.9.)

And thus the season concludes...

Anime Weekly Review: Summer 2015 (11.9.-17.9.)

As the season nears its closure, I am starting to appreciate what it has to offer more.

Anime Weekly Review: Summer 2015 (4.9.-10.9.)

This week begins with a long-awaited battle and ends with a true shiver.

Anime Weekly Review: Summer 2015 (28.8.-3.9.)

This week at least a few of the anime got around to something more substantial.

Anime Weekly Review: Summer 2015 (21.8.-27.8)

Summer season is nearing its hot phase.

Anime Weekly Review: Summer 2015 (14.8.-20.8)

And a shortened mid-season ranking.

Anime Weekly Review: Summer 2015 (7.8.-13.8)

Week 6 rolls along in the fairly steady summer season.

Anime Weekly Review: Summer 2015 (31.7.-6.8)

As we go into the fifth week of episodes, updates for this will now resume regularly again.

Anime Weekly Review: Summer 2015 (1.7.-30.7)

Summer has started for a good while and I FINALLY caught up. ^_^

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 26 Recap!

It's the end of the Black Moon Arc and the end of Sailor Moon Crystal, for now. As such Episode 26 adequately reflects most of the series to this point. Unfortunately that is not really a good thing.

Status

For anyone wondering... First of its a new season. Second I haven't gotten around to watch a lot of it due to watching something else taking up most of my time on that end. I should catch up sometimes next week hopefully. So far the only thing I have seen more than one episode of are Rokka and Symphogear (yeah, the bane of my existence is back and I still don't know why I am still watching this!).

Final Season Review: Spring 2015

It is time to put it all together. The good, the bad, the worst. Here are my charts and final thoughts on the anime of Spring 2015 as a whole.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 25 Recap!

Episode 25 definitely came along as tissue fodder. Near the end of its first season, Sailor Moon Crystal delivered the perhaps best emotional episode of its entire run.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (26.6-1.7.)

A worthy finale for those shows remaining. Hibike! Euphonium tops everything else until the end.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (19.6-25.6.)

Spring Season is ending and it's been a fun ride for the most part. Even if some of the conclusion are somewhat lackluster.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 24 Recap!

With the finale of the Black Moon Arc coming up, Act 24 of Sailor Moon Crystal doesn't quite follow up on the stronger trend of the last two episodes.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (12.6-18.6.)

The season is coming to an end and things are getting more interesting almost everywhere.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (5.6-11.6.)

A mostly enjoyable season is already nearing the end. DanMachi is cementing second place behind Euphonium with another good episode.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 23 Recap!

At the very least the general quality remains at a better level now. Act 23 of Sailor Moon Crystal does not quite achieve the strength of last time though.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (29.5-4.6.)

Euphonium stays strong. Rinne looks more and more appealing to me.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (21.5-28.5.)

Euphonium cements itself as THE anime this season with perhaps THE best episode this entire season, shortly followed by DanMachi's grand battle scene.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (15.5-21.5.)

It was a whole lot of slower episodes all around. At least one such resulted in a harsh fall.

Anime Mid-Season Impressions: Spring 2015

Spring has a good deal to offer. And while it has no clear top candidate that really stands out, each week is generally enjoyable all across the board.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 22 Recap!

While nearing the end of the arc, Sailor Moon Crystal finally picks up the pace. While not necessarily stellar, Act 22 made a nice step up from the continuous flat line in terms of quality.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (8.5-14.5.)

Plastic Memories stumbled a bit again, Euphonium stays strong and a few others have actually picked up the pace this week.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (1.5-7.5.)

Nothing much to say. It was a solid week for the season... at least.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 21 Recap!

More of the same in Act 21 of Sailor Moon Crystal. I could just as well read the manga...

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (24.4-30.4.)

Plastic Memories recovered from its misstep, Euphonium still looks solid and there's generally a lot of fun this season.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (17.4-23.4.)

As we are nearing the mark where most people decide to continue or drop a series, I can't say I feel like I want to drop something... However, so far a real star has still to show itself.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 20 Recap!

More of the same. Sailor Moon Crystal panders along leisurely in Act 20, making less and less off an effort to even try being somewhat original.

Anime Weekly Review: Spring 2015 (10.4-16.4.)

Second week. So far so... somewhat exciting. ^_^ While the overall quality of this season seems higher than last, it lacks a clear 'star' so far.

Anime Weekly Reviews: Spring 2015 (3.4-9.4.)

All the disappointing things that were "not quite good enough" are over. It's Spring Season now and... well, I'm not sure it's any better yet. Or worse? A little splatter of thought on a lot of first episodes and what might be interesting or not. I found some surprisingly good stuff fairly late where I had not even expected to look.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 19 Recap!

Continuing its routine, there is continuously less and less that can even be commented on in Act 19 of Sailor Moon Crystal.

Final Season Review: Winter 2015

It is time to put it all together. The good, the bad, the worst. Here are my charts and final thoughts on the anime of Winter 2015 as a whole.

Anime Weekly Reviews: Winter 2015 (23.3.-30.3.)

Finale! Winter Season 2015 has reached its final week and all the final episodes are now over. Here is the final weekly review for the season before we get to a final overview.

Anime Weekly Reviews: Winter 2015 (16.3.-22.3.)

Final stretch. Everyone is gearing up for the big confrontation/final battle, most series are all set for their final episode. Unfortunately at this point I doubt it will really change my opinion of any of them.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 18 Recap!

Back to the old routine again. Act 18 of Sailor Moon Crystal is almost a carbon copy of its manga equivalent once again, but this time it may actually be for the best.

Anime Weekly Reviews: Winter 2015 (9.3.-15.3.)

What a week! Near computer exodus, a slew of so-so episodes with only a few of them sticking out. And then, near the finish line, Sunday delivered four glorious episodes!

Status Updates: Serious PC Problems

I have had a severe issue with my PC randomly slowing down to crawling speed (and I really mean CRAWLING) the moment I open/start anything but Windows Explorer, System Panel etc. within the first 2-3 minutes. Only option then is to restart (which I can't even do properly without cutting the power since my PC has no stupid power switch). After doing lots of things, I may have pinned down the problem since it has been running again for awhile but if you don't hear from me or see any further posts/updates/reviews in awhile, I am very likely not able to do so.

Just giving you a heads up in case you might be wondering about me. I pray it works out somehow because I seriously DO NOT want to buy another PC with my meager finances.

Anime Weekly Review: Winter 2015 (2.3.-8.3.)

This week brought some fairly decent episodes, but nothing entirely breathtaking either. Log Horizon managed to confuse us with a rather weak plot concept, Rolling Girls finally did what it should have been for a long time and failed at it consequently and we now know that remodeling for human-formed ship girls means getting bigger (literally)...

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 17 Recap!

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 17 Recap!

Jupiter's episode might not have been full of a great change like last week but Act 17 was adapted fairly solid with some nice tweaks here and there. Sailor Moon Crystal may be on the way of stabilizing at least somewhat, if it hadn't been for perhaps the worst animation mishap in the show's history.

Anime Weekly Review: Winter 2015 (23.2.-1.3.)

Rolling Girls with perhaps its strongest episode yet, a lot of decent to good episodes. The harem anime are getting jumbled in my ranking though as Absolute Duo is taking a deep dive.

Anime Weekly Review: Winter 2015 (16.2.-22.2.)

Following my Mid-Season Reports I shall make small assembled comments each week about what I thought about the episodes of the anime I followed. It's usually going to be very short unless I do have more to say.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 16 Recap!

Ami shines in Episode 16 of Sailor Moon Crystal. After a long time we can finally say that the creators finally are creative in a positive sense.

Anime Mid-Season Impressions: Winter 2015

Another year, another season with a fresh batch of anime. After the awesome fall season of 2014, it is certainly hard to keep the standard and I'll be frank, so far it doesn't. Not even close. Here are my picks of this season and a few short thoughts of what I think of them.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 15 Recap!

The beginning of the new arc, yet nothing has really changed. Sailor Moon Crystal continues the trend into mediocre obscurity of the last episodes with Act 15.

Happiness Charge Pretty Cure End

Well, it's over. Happiness Charge Precure has ended its run and while it was certainly not the best Pretty Cure ever, it was at least a step in the right direction again.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 14 Recap!

Act 14 maintains the questionable quality of its predecessor. Sailor Moon Crystal at least normalizes its mediocre effort with this latest episode.

Sailor Moon Crystal Spotlight: Act 13 Recap!

Following the death scenes (both literal and figuratively), Act 13 managed to dig Sailor Moon Crystal out of its early grave. At least barely.
