March 2012 Rankings

And thus, the worst season in noitaminA history has finally come to an end. I highly doubt that Apollon and Tsuritama will be bad. But if they somehow manage to screw up that much, the sequel to Moyashimon and Natsuyuki Rendezvous in the summer will definitely be awesome.

Rurouni Kenshin: Shin Kyoto Hen 01 – Whoa, slow down!

Being a very big fan of the Kenshin series, you can only imagine how I was excited when the subs for this new OVA were finally released. But I’m kind of disappointed.

Senki Zesshou Symphogear Review – C-

I fucking love this show. I love it so much.  I’m actually thinking about rewatching it already.

Symphogear 13 (End) – Genjuuro’s Angels

Best finale of the season.

Symphogear Character CD – Yukine Chris

1. Makyuu – Ichii Bal – This song rocks. End of story. The (awesome) instrumentals can seem a little too loud at some points, though.
2.  Tsunaida te dake ga Tugumu Mono – Ugh. Okay. So this song continues the trend of significantly weaker B-sides. But my main gripe is how fucking annoying Takagaki Ayashi’s voice sounds. Chris’ voice is nasally to start with, so why make her sound even more nasally? Please stop singing through your nose, Ayahi. I understand you’re singing in character, but the vocalizing here is just…no. The song itself is probably the weakest next to Oribtal Beat. Nothing but disappointment here.

All of the good stuff is in the first song. That second song can go die in a fire. I’m not even a big fan of the cover art. This is probably my least favorite of all of Symphogear’s character CDs. If I were to rank them from strongest to weakest, it would be as follows:

1. Kazenari Tsubasa
2. Tachibana Hibiki
3. Zwei Wing
4. Yukine Chris

Natsume Yuujinchou Shi Review – B+

Natsume Takashi continues to have troublesome encounters with youkai.

Another Review – D+

This was the best comedy of the season.

Guilty Crown Review – D

This picture's quality is like the quality of the show.

I’m not sure which is worse: Black Rock Shooter or Guilty Crown. But I am sure that this was the absolute worst season in the history of noitaminA.

Rinne no Lagrange Review – D+

An energetic and supremely athletic girl named Madoka encounters a mysterious girl named Lan. Madoka then gets to pilot a giant robot to protect her town and the earth.

Rinne no Lagrange 12 (End) – Just leave already!
