Welcome everyone to the first Anime Talk I have written in a long time! I want to start off this edition by saying I will be making some changes to my review style. In the past I tried to write as if I were some "professional anime reviewer" and lets face it I'm not! I am just a simple anime fan and a very so so writer. So now my reviews will be far more casual, like I was talking to a buddy about the show I just watched. I'll leave the more elegant writing in the hands of our other much more capable moderators and blog authors! So with that said let's get into my review.
So today I want to talk about an anime with a very huge mouthful of a title. WorldEnd: What are you doing at the end if the world?, Are you busy? Will you save us? ..... Yeah that's a true mouthful right there!!! But it is a very good anime .. well so far it is anyway. You see we are only 5 episodes into the season of what I presume will be 12 episodes.
The show is about the last surviving human, the humans seemingly having be wiped out long ago by some huge monsters they were at war with. Anyway we are following the last human now living in a world controlled by various anamorphic humanoids; lizard people, cat people, ect. and faerie-esque creatures that are also at war with the same monsters as the humans were.
Without spoiling too much, the show so far is basicly a high fantasy adventure meet, romance story, and a bit of boy saves girl while girl saves guy kind of thing. It is very (so far) story driven though there is some action to be had but being a huge Mark for Romance and slice of life anime I am more then glad to see this anime rely more on storytelling and not on "fanservice" ( fanservice being more than just T&A ). Since we are only halfway through the season I have to say that the jury is still out on this one though I am really enjoying it so far, but If you like romance stories set it a fantasy world that revolves emotional as well as physical conflicts that throws in just enough action to keep you satisfied that Give "WorldEnd: What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?" a try.
I’m glad to see that you are trying to jump start your anime talk again.
Last time I would read them but never reply. I’m not the replying type.
This time I’ll give a quick reply –
because:
I am watching this show too.
WorldEnd (SukaSuka) is the type of anime that I call a “class production”. Another class show this season is – Granblue Fantasy The Animation.
Of course just because I’m listing the above two, does not mean I don’t watch Eromanga-Sensei. No class, the difference between Monty Python’s Flying Circus and The Benny Hill Show. I’d still watch both. Ha-ha.
I am currently watching about 10-12 titles this season, of them I find 2 or 3 of them to be really good, about 2 more to be “good” 2 of them I am about to drop because I find them to be bad ( looking at you seven mortal sins! Practically pure Hentai! ) and the rest are just ok.
Theodore Sturgeon’s revelation/law may apply here:
— “ninety percent of everything is crap”.
———-
I personally do not think they are _all_ that bad. I am also watching:
— Re-Creators (Classy, but the characters talk a lot.)
— Clockwork-Planet (Dicey, The Main Male Character is a bad boy type. The Female Characters are Lolita variations. Otherwise very little fan service.)
— Little Witch Academia (Classy)
— Kyoukai no Rinne, 3rd Season (From Gag manga by Takahashi sensai, the creator of Inuyasha.)
— My Hero Academia, 2nd Season (From Gag manga.)
These two I am saving to binge watch.
— DanMachi Gaiden – Sword Oratoria.
— Berserk, 2nd Season (Ultra-violent.)
With the three mentioned in my first post, that makes ten total.
PS
I am sure you know about them Kaldath,
the (very brief) descriptions are for the benefit of anyone else reading this.
Hello – anyone (echos of ‘anyone’, sounding across the WWW).
