Anime Weekly Updates, Omer 21: I can't think of a title for this post

Katana Maidens took a week off it seems, that annoyed me a bit.

Overlord II had a pretty satisfying finale.

Hugtto Precure has started a new story-line.  One that might prove to be pretty predictable for the Genre, but I can enjoy the predictable just fine.

The first episode of Legend of the Galactic Heroes managed to spark my interest. I actually like that all three Planets look like Earth, that is certainly more realistic then single environment planets managing to stay inhabitable.  Expect my coverage of the show to make lots of Star Wars and Dune Comparisons, maybe this will make me more consistently happy then the actual Star Wars we've been getting.

I'm enjoying Magical Girl Site, I really don't care how much that will annoy some people.  It's definitely distinguished itself from it's Dark Magical Girl predecessors.  I hope it has a happy ending, but may be willing to respect what it's trying to say even without one, it all depends on execution.

That's the thing though, it's gonna get criticized both for every similarity to Madoka and for every difference.  Like so many other works that are easy to view as a cash in on some earlier hit.  They get criticized for being an imitator but also for "not getting the real point" of why the original worked.  I've seen the same thing over and over again with every dark Superhero comic that's post Watchmen and DKR, or every dark Superhero film that's post Nolan's Batman franchise.

I think this show like those Comics should be judged on it's own merits and not be constantly compared positively or negatively to Madoka at every turn.  Cause lots of gritty Comics that came out this long after Watchmen were constantly seen as cashing in on that trend at the time, but are Comics 90s kids are nostalgic for now.

Outside of my weekly shows.  I watched all of Oneechan ga Kita, and four episodes of Oniichan dakedo Ai sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne!.  I see you looking at me funny and I don't care.  They are both amusing shows, but the latter is more inclined to delve into the Anime Style Fanservice I dislike.

I also watched the fourth episode of Amagi Briliant Park.  Which reminds me that I really should at least try to catch up on Full Metal Panic before the new season starts.  Though since I know SFDebris will be covering some it at least this Summer I'm of half a mind to wait and watch it along with them, then just continue from there.
