Thoughts on winter 2011 anime

I really love the winter season anime i've been watching, it's been quite some time since I grew so attach to any series, last was Ookiku furikabutte and Durarara almost  2 years ago.

Third favourite: Natsume yuujinchou shi is as lovely as ever, though it's not quite my favourite season out of the 4, but then again I can't choose a favourite season. They're all so beautiful /T ^T/ The last episode is coming, with the slightly more emo arc of Natsume visiting his house.

Second fave: Chihayafuru. I can't describe how nostalgic the series makes me feel, even though I've never heard of karuta before watching this anime. Chihayafuru reminds me of the days where I played weiqi in school after reading Hikaru no go.... The typical training and tournament plot works very well to keep me interested and the subtle love triangle is making me squeal, so badly. I was melting at Taichi's words last episode. I'm all for Taichi and Chihaya-- It will break my heart if they don't get together in the future. It's not the focus of the plot, nor does it matter the most to both the characters at this current point, but I want it to happen so badly. Now's not the right time though, still early, Drag it on!! then it will be very epic and fulfilling (for me) when they finally get together ^^

*side note*What has Arata done other than to introduce, teach karuta and ignite the passion they have for the game? okie.. i'm understating his contributions here because.. no one is allowed to get between the pairing i ship (Y)

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou ranks first. After playing Starry Sky, I've started to take so much more notice of the voice actors. Not that I didn't care in the past, but it was more of recognizing the voice and feeling satisfied. Now, I marvel at how they are able to manipulate their voice and it's totally amazing. For this series, the voice actors nailed it for me, Tomokazu Sugita in particular. Because Hidenori sounds like Gin san -love- I enjoy every single silly scenario in every episode. Honestly, this is not the kind of anime I would spend money buying but it has definitely been my consistent main source of laughter every week.

The last episode airs next week. Which brought on the sudden wave of sadness when I realised that so many good series are ending almost at the same time. HxH hiatus, Natsume yuujinchou, Danshi koukousei and even Gintama anime (not sure about this though heh)
