New Anime Season (Summer 2011)Follow

No, I mean it's a TV Trope genre.

No. 6 is such a ghastly train wreck. Baby breast feeding form a dog in episode 10 and Sion goes through a completely spontaneous personality change that barely makes sense. Also they have one episode left to explain the entire (-ly ignored) conspiracy plot they've set up, good luck on pulling that together.

That's what season 2 is for! Actually, even I agree with you about No. 6 at this point.

The ending of Pengiundrum makes a lot more sense after the last episode. I bet we see a repeat of Utena and the Librarian sleeps with everyone.

From Steins;Gate's success, I just had to check out Chaos;Head since I've given up on many other shows this season. While the two are not related by story, I can definitely see similar elements between the two. It amuses me that the first opening of each series was performed by the same person.

Need to watch the latest episodes after work today >_<

Based off this topic I watched all of Chaos;Head this week. Don't bother. SpoilerIt started off with a lot of potential (if a completely unlikable main character); the main character is a social pariah who has strong delusions, and is never sure what's real and what's not. I liked that; it could be really good. He walks onto a murder scene and of course has no idea if it's real or not... turns out it was. But as the series progressed it came to light that people can turn their delusions into reality; the main character's delusions start to become more and more true. By the end, he overcomes his crippling social phobia, somehow learns to wield a sword made from his imagination, and saves the day. Gets the girl, recovers an entire city from an earthquake, etc. etc. It would be like if Higurashi ended up with the happy ending without all the pain in between.

Ideally, the entire thing should have been in his head. He gradually goes more and more insane, and while there is actually a murderer on the loose, there isn't a company turning delusions into reality; he just thinks there is. Again, ideally, I think it would be awesome if he ends up confronting the murderer, but in the end he's still insane.

Maybe I'm too dark when it comes to stuff like this

All I hope it that Steins;Gate ends up a lot better than Chaos;Head. So far the series has been really great, whereas Chaos;Head started to get pretty "Meh" near the end. Hoping for a strong ending.

Just watched the end; yes, Steins;Gate was fantastic. Perfect ending too, Spoilereven if it was a happy one and they explained everything. definitely one of my new favorite series

Don't touch the spoiler button, it's so shocking, you won't even believe that it's true until you see the ending for yourself. Seriously, that NEVER happens in an anime.
