Fantastic Fall Update
by Panadero - November 6, 2011 1:46:31 PM MST
We've got a rather large update for you all this Sunday. Without further ado, we have: Hanasaku Iroha, the absolutely beautifully animated story of a girl living and working at her grandmother's hot springs inn. The story is written well, the emotions feel real, and the girls are adorable.
We've also added to the Ah! My Goddess entry a handful of characters from the TV series and OAVs that I'd somehow neglected to add earlier. Sorry, Sora! Sorry, Hild!
Next, we have the massive cast of My Ordinary Life, the recent KyoAni series that flips perspectives on what is normal and what is absurd. While I was a bit unsure of it at first, I got into a groove with it and the second half gets really good. If I could build my own Nano, I would in a heartbeat.
Last we have the recent Gainax offering, The Mystic Archives of Dantalian. I make it a rule to watch every Gainax series I can so this was a lock anyway, but it did look interesting on top of it. While a good series with lots of intriguing elements, it felt a little too much like viewers were intentionally given only a peek into a much larger world, and that was frustrating. I enjoyed it overall, though.
All told, there are now 33 more characters on the site, so you know what to do. Our goal is to get one more update out before Thanksgiving but we'll see what our schedules allow. As always, keep voting!
