The Best and Worst of 2012 Anime

December 29, 2012 by Chikorita157 6 Comments

Artist: naruse

As 2012 finally comes to an end, I felt that this year is rather subdued for Anime. Although there were some Anime that received some rave reviews that I didn’t watch, I was still satisfied by what I have already watched. Not only that, I only dropped one show this year compared to two in 2011. Still, there were some disappointments, which I want to go over.

For now, I will list my top whatever lists of best Anime in 2012 along with some disappointing/worst ones. (Image Source)

Teacher looks great...

After witnessing a disappointment from the first episode of Natsuiro Kiseki, I had to wash the bad taste from my mouth. With that, I decided to watch the first A Channel + Smile OVA, which focuses on a different set of stories compared to the main series that aired last spring.

A Channel – Final Review

June 26, 2011 by Chikorita157 10 Comments

At first, A Channel gave me the feelings that it will have some similarities to K-ON. As the series went on, the show became an enjoyable experience with the girls’ personalities driving the comedy along with great production values.
