if you think anime are repetitive, you’ve never seen a drama

So I know how everyone complains “Waaaaaaaaaah, every anime is lolipedo moeshit!”, “Waaaaaaaaaah, every anime is fanservice trash”, and so on. Those are exaggerations, of course. But dramas, on the other hand, really are all the same. Check out the list of this season’s dramas.

There are 25 new dramas airing this season. That 25 consists of:

Detectives/lawyers: 9
Period: 4
NHK prestige dramas: 3
TROUBLED people with PROBLEMS: 2
Eccentric-teacher-with-a-troubled-school: 2 (plus a special that I didn’t count)
Doctors: 1 (Wow, only one. I guess they’re all still continuing)
Fake Winter Sonata ripoff: 1
Live-action Trapeze: 1
KILLER (Korean girl group) WHORES: 1
LIVE-ACTION GARTENDER: 1

Also note that there’s a little more overlap, like how some of those period dramas are also NHK prestige dramas, and how some of those detective shows are about TROUBLED detectives with PROBLEMS

"no one understands mah pain!"

God this was one of the worst episodes ever. It was not only about Tsukiko randomly emoing about something or other but then they wasted time with flashbacks to Yoh’s episode SIGH.  Starry Sky in Spring just cannot redeem itself. I expected Suzuya’s episode to be just as lame unless they add in jokes where he was sewing underpants for Tsukiko and Kanata ﾌﾟｯ(※థэథ)∵.*.∵ Otherwise poor Kanata, his episode was wasted. I hope Kazuki’s hair doesn’t look too terrible next week. I want to open my mail with it sometimes..

I wasn’t gonna post any winter season impressions but…

I have to post about this Zombie show.

See first half of the show I’m thinking yea some stupid mahou shoujo parody with some stupid non talking loli and some stupid high school kid who has to remind us every 5 minutes that he’s a zombie. But then in like the last 5 minutes of the show… Continue reading →
