Throwing a rather odd curve ball into the Spring 2012 mix is Polar Bear Cafe (available via Crunchyroll). Basically, it’s some animals and humans hanging out in a cafe and talking about life–with a surprisingly cool and out of place theme song.
Spring 2012 is certainly turning into quite the mixed bag. Now that I’ve seen underwhelming (Space Boys) and nostalgic excellence (Kids on the Slope), it seems that I’ve moved onto random and bizarre with Tsuritama, another show simulcasting on Crunchyroll.
I wasn’t particularly impressed with my first foray into the Spring 2012 anime season (see: Space Brothers–First Look), but my second attempt has proven to be much more enjoyable: Kids on the Slope, which is also streaming on Crunchyroll.
The Spring 2012 anime season is in full-swing, and I’ve finally begun taking the time to check out the entrants in what is often the year’s best lineup. First on my list to try out was Space Brothers, which is streaming on Crunchyroll.
I am six episodes into the series now. Does it ever get good?
This is definitely one of those series where it takes a few episodes to really get a feel for it and decide if you like it even the slightest bit.
Okay, a quickie post about the latest series I’ve started (in order to keep me from steaming too quickly through Eureka Seven as it’ll be quite a few days before I get in another disc of it.)
Started up this series via Netflix rentals today…
This is a parody, right?
It’s been a month, but I’m finally watching some anime again. It’s been even longer since I rode my exercise bike to anime. Given the dreary weather, the poor condition of my DDR pad, and a recently purchased sports anime, I figured it was time to switch back to the bike. But enough about my bizarre anime-exercise habits, let’s move on to Fighting Spirit, a.k.a. Hajime no Ippo.
