Watamote First Impression
Or, as known by its longer title, "No Matter How I Look At It, It's Your Guys Fault I'm Not Popular!"
Amazing... still skeptical, though...
What did I know beforehand?
Well, I knew that one of my good friends was obsessed with the main character, and I knew the basic synopsis. I was skeptical, but willing to watch it.
PS I watched GRArkada's First Impression of it afterwards, and he pointed out som things that I hadn't thought of before.
What are the plusses?
Pretty dang good job at breaking Main Character Syndrome, you fall in the love with the main character fast...
Different type of animation keeps it interesting...
You can feel the bond with her and her brother.
AMAZING opening... loved it.
Ending kept my interest up...for a while.
What are the minuses?
...It was supposed to be comedy? I didn't notice.
Can they keep it up? Can they go deeper? This reminds me a lot of my favorite anime, Welcome to the NHK, so the question is - can they do what NHK did, and make me laugh and want to cry at the same time? If they can't, then... this doesn't quite reach what I hope for.
Its likability relies heavily on the main character. If you don't like her, chances are you probably won't like it overall very much.
Ending didn't quite keep my attention throughout the whole thing.
I didn't notice any music (besides the OP)
Story: 7.0
Characters: 8.0
Animation: 9.7
Music: 6.7
Overall: 7.85
Yeah, I'm still skeptical... but I still plan on watching it.
Side note: First Impressions are officially moved to Wednesdays, those are the days I figure I have the most time.
Steins;Gate First Impression
HNNNNG HNNNNNNNNG HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
What did I know beforehand?
All I really knew was everything in Arkada's review, and that he really enjoyed it. I went into it expecting to like it.
What are the plusses?
Goodness. I need to rave here.
The animation is BEAUTIFUL. It flowed so smoothly, and was incredibly pleasing to the eye... I loved it.
The opener was AMAZING. Great animation, great music...but what also shocked me was the CLOSER. Pretty good animation, but great music, too.
I don't usually point out anything with voice acting, but even watching it subbed, the Japanese voice actors were SO good, it sounded the way a normal person would talk.
And the characters themselves! I have to give my hats off to the translators (FUNimation), because they really did bring the vocabulary into the characters, giving them a distinct feel IN THE FIRST EPISODE.
And the story premises? Put away your Dr. Who, time for a real time travel story here. The kind that just might BLOW YOUR MIND.
What are the minuses?
Er....um... I didn't notice the background music that much. That's not really a negative, more like a "meh", but that's it. The only possible minus. DANG THIS IS GOOD
Story: 9.5
Characters: 9.7
Animation: 9.6
Music: 8.3
Overall: 9.28
Needless, to say, I loved it.
PS:
Okay, the main character is hot, in that he's-so-weird-you-can't-help-but-be-attracted-to-him way. GOSH main character first impression crushes better not be a regular thing.
