Spring 2018 Anime Season (Final Thoughts Part 1)

I really don’t have time to do reviews, and I know I haven’t been very active on here (something I do want to change), so I figured I’d start with posting some final thoughts on some the anime I watched last season.  I’ll probably post them in parts, and this is part one.

Winter-Spring 2018 Shows

First, I’ll start with the multi-cour shows that began in the Winter season and finished up in the Spring.  I’m not going to say much more than my general final impression for each show, but I’m more than willing to talk more about these shows if anyone is interested...so don’t hesitate to send me an ask or a message about them!

Well, lets get started!

Yowapeda: Glory Line

It started well, and it finished strong despite not actually finishing the race in this season.  Ultimately, it was the same as the first season except without the 3rd years, with some new characters, and a lot less of a focus on Onoda.  Many things got weirder (i.e. Komari might creep me out more than Midousuji, their bike “powers” are even more unrealistic) and the action just seems to drag on more than the original season.  Continuations are always hit or miss, and this one was mostly miss.  Still, I’m in this far, so I might as well stay all in.

Anime-Planet Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls

Oh boy.  I liked the initial premise and really was rooting for the decedents of Iga and Kouga to finally end up living peaceful and happy lives together, but this series was just a mess.  It was just good enough to not be a waste of time, but altogether, it just didn’t live up to the passion and drama of the original Basilisk series.  The original wasn’t without defects, but this fell completely short in character and plot development, not to mention not once explaining how Obero and Gennosuke each had children despite dying, which is kind of the whole crux of having a continuation in the first place...yikes.

Anime-Planet Rating: ★✯☆☆☆ (1.5/5)

Record of Grancrest War 

Some anime start out so typical that they’re written off by reviewers and, therefore, fandom before they get very far.  Grancrest started out like your average fantasy anime, but in my opinion, it was honestly one of my favorites from both seasons.  The story it wove ended up being incredibly powerful, and the sociopolitical plot present in the series was just wonderful.  While not nearly as narratively strong, it reminded me a little of The Heroic Tales of Arslan, and I’m a sucker for medieval-fantasy.  It wasn’t perfect, but it was a great story.

Anime-Planet Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

Darling in the FRANXX

I don’t really want to jump into the FRANXX rabbit hole and the controversy surrounding this series.  It gained a lot of hate this season, but it also gained a lot of support making for backlash against backlash within both the reviewing community and the fandom.  For my part, I’ll start with saying that I’m not a very huge fan of series done by Studio Trigger in general, so I was hesitant about this going in.  The first few episodes didn’t make me feel any better.  I found the plotline very pieced together, the characters (save for a few) tiresome, and the sexual symbolism uncomfortable.  Yet, I was entertained, mostly due to the themes despite them being as patchwork as the narrative.  Ultimately, despite all the hype, it’s forgettable.  I can say I watched it, was part of the fray so to speak, but in the end, I’ll likely not return to it.  To summarize...it wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t good either. 

Anime-Planet Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

Staff Member A:  So... we’re all cool with Hibiki being the only one from the original universe alive at the end?

(chorus of “yes”es)

Staff Member B:  Now hold on!  We’ve already agreed that Hibiki can’t fight and we’re not going to give her any screen-time.  Viewers aren’t going to be attached to her in the slightest.  So why are we doing this?

Staff Member A:  Just to further insult everyone for getting attached to the rest of the cast.

You can say whatever you want about how useless this second season is (which I agree) but the opening is AMAZING, like maybe the best opening of the year. The song choice is perfect and the style is so beautiful.
