The reason why everyone watches this show.

Yup, this series is as episodic as ever. I think last season we only had three sets of two-part connected episodes. Just meaning episodes where things from the previous episode mattered at all. Usually leaving off with a cliffhanger. For an actual two-parter it was probably just the finale.

But of course I’m fine with that because otherwise the perfect Nogizaka Haruka episodic fluffy formula doesn’t work.

Summary of this post: ep 01 = new series, =/= Shugo Chara! continuity

Well it kinda (really) sucks. Though at least after watching it I understand why they made all the random add-ins and stuff. Even the regular part of the show (Dokki Doki) wasn’t exactly the Shugo Chara! we’re used to. As anyone will tell you, it only lasted about ten minutes. But I noticed right away that otherwise it wasn’t what I expected from Satelight.

There are weird spots of animation, but overall it’s a very well animated show. Especially for a shoujo anime. Especially for a shoujo anime aimed at younger girls. But that’s really no longer the case.

Picture completely unrelated! (ShinKuro isn’t discussed at all!) But come one, what else is really new? I figure I could just go for it and be completely random this week, because nothing is connected this week. Not even much of it is on-topic with the entire rest of the blog.

The biggest section doesn’t touch on anime at all after all! Harry Potter releases always means I have to do a fandom switch. The one series has affected my childhood into my teenage years far more than anime could. I have no specific fond memories of running around Main Street at 10 PM one night and seeing kids and adults in anime cosplay. No, they were all wearing witch hats and cloaks. Much cooler. (<- Lie. Even I wasn’t that dorky, though it would have been fun to be~)

What!? A post on Monday!? And the world didn’t explode!? Yeah…I’m making fun of myself a little, but I still won’t be making a habit of being this late. It feels unnatural. There’s just a few reasons behind it.

I feel like this episode was pretty okay, but it didn’t really appeal to me specifically. That was one major reason I didn’t blog right away, because quick impressions told me everyone else liked it, but I found myself incredibly bored throughout most of it. I really got no real entertainment from it and when they finally moved forward, I should have been happy, but the way they’ve handled things incorrectly until now just seemed to kind of…explode to me.
