Winter Shows Snowball - Part 3
So because I was busy shopping for beds and mattresses today I didn’t get a chance to watch this stuff until later in the evening. Lots of premieres today so let’s get the [snow]ball rolling.
Persona -Trinity Soul-: I said “ew” more than once but at the same time it was kinda interesting. I also LOLed at their bizarro music selection as well as the scene where the guy has a sword come out of his crotch stomach like in Utena or something. I think I’ll give it another shot, it’s only 13 episodes so picking this up wouldn’t be too painful, especially on a Saturday when I only currently have 2 shows to blog.
Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de: The title of this show should be a tongue twister but anyway….LOL PENIS LOL..I mean Benice 
Ok so to be honest, this is pretty much the same as Hayate no Gotoku. The difference is, as far as I know, this show is not gonna be more than 13 or possibly 26 episodes. (Hopefully 13 or I don’t know if I can stand it any longer.) Also I like the fact that our hero butler is GAR not some random shota. I also kinda like the side characters while I really disliked most of Hayate’s side characters and well I just like the way the show is executed in general and how not EVERYTHING is a parody of something leaving me scratching my head half the time. (Btw the Yaranaika parody was awesome 
) In any case I think I’ll be following this show and adding it to my blogging schedule.
Shigofumi: Umm wow that was incredibly unexpected. Rather than it be like sad and emotional like Shinigami Ballad was, this is like serious business. The feeling reminds me a bit of higurashi but I think I’ve had my fill of Yandere for a while so I don’t really care to see this show anymore. In the preview they show the same girl again lying in bed with her sister, I feel like she’ll go on a yandere-rage and kill her sister too @_@; I’m not too fond of Fumiko though, and considering that she’s the main character that’s probably not going to help me like this show. Eh, it’s not bad, just not up my alley.
True Tears: Unfortunately this show turned out to be True Poo. First of all it reminds me a lot of KimiKiss but the problem is, there’s only 1 guy and multiple girls who all wanna mack him. So it’s like a harem, but there’s no funny plotlines or goofy slapstick to go along with it, so it just irritates me and that’s about it. Second of all I find the main lead incredibly dislikeable and I want to kick him in the face. I don’t find any of the other girls likeable either, but again, if the main lead sucks, it’s downhill from there. Finally I really hate how SLOW the pacing is. I mean slow pace is ok but they keep focusing on stupid things like lips, finger motions etc and they slow those down. Like I think watching the episode at 2x speed might actually be an improvement on the situation, unfortunately I do not plan to do that in order to be able to stay awake during this series. This is a definite no for me.

What, no Zoku? LOL jk..
I still haven’t finished watching all the crap that game out today…./sigh
I had some time mostly since I actually skipped through most of Shigofumi because it reminded me too much of Shinigami Ballad. I just can’t get into shows where we are constantly introduced to new characters, it’s like the only one you can get attached to are Fumiko and the talking (annoying) stick
i love the shugo fumi… soo the guy was like gona confess to her than she sudden go and stabb him!! woot nice personality… and as for the Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de…the show juz started for me… and the first thing i see is the butlet hugging the mistress at her slighty oversize boobs and gives tat kind of face… i kinda roll my eyes….
as for true tears.. well i’m expecting from it.. the trailer intrest me and the video quality is good…
When I saw the 1st chapter of the KimiAru manga, I went LOL! at the lead guy, declaring he’s a siscon with an old-school GAR face xD That, and the fact that the guy’s seiyuu is Tomokazu Seki was enough to interest me to watch it (I want my download to finish nowwww! x_x)
Well, Ren is a siscon and Mihato is a bracon, which makes for some sort of awkward yet hilarious relationship…especially when everyone else’s roles comes into play.
I shall say…
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
and
Thank you. (maybe)
For getting these four shows out of my life. Maybe three. Commentary on Aruji since it’s the only one that looks vaguely watchable.
It looks like a more adult version of Hayate no Gotoku!. Unfortunately, Hermione Ayasaki is cuter. Totali will agree. Also, show needs more yuri sexx0r (as mentioned elsewhere) if I am to even watch it.
Also, thank you for doing all the hard work reviewing so I can actually save my sanity and time from sampling all the crap and good stuff. :3
Extra thanks for making me avoid True Poos. Went into search mode last night. Search mode now off.
I remember Jason Miao wishing for a Higurashi remake by J.C.Staff where they replace Rena Ryugu with a flat-chested tsundere.
My contract with J.C.Staff compels me to watch Shigofumi, but your description doesn’t make it sound like the heartwarming cutefests from J.C.Staff that made me sign the contract in the first place.
I am so sick of Harem shows! Words cannot describe. Shigofumi looks really good. Hope it gets subbed. I’ve downloaded the Rosario + Vampire one, haven’t watched it yet. You’re review intrigued me.
I’m just excited that I’m finding something interesting to watch anime wise. My hour & a half a day that I devote to it was looking a little sparse for a while. Luckily some shows I started watching last year are slowing picking up the pace in being subbed. Mainly Shigurui & Sayonara Mr. Despair.
Hope you had fun shopping, buying furniture can be fun and stressing at the same time. I was intrigued by the fact that your pluralized “bed.” I hope you’re not getting divorced.
Unless it’s baby furniture. 
Name it Naruto or Hinata.
J/K 
all that I’m watching/gonna watch this season are gunslinger, aria, zoku sayonara zetsubo sensei, and minami-ke okawari. I just think that only this four are worth watching at the moment.
sabrina> eww god no babies
xD Harem shows suck too but KimiAru is retardedly amusing.
eiram> They’re only worth watching if you’ve seen the first season. for someone like me, where I didn’t watch season 1 of any of those shows, they’re pretty worthless.
sixten> The only “Cute” thing you could say is the talking staff. The Fumiko girl reminds me of Nagato Yuki and everything else is pretty serious/scary/sci-fi so you won’t find Potemayo like things here.
Digi> XD Eh my tastes are pretty odd sometimes so you may like something I don’t. Rest assure there is slight Yuri in KimiAru.
jen> I havent read the manga but I don’t recall him confessing him being a siscon in the anime, just the brothercon from the sister.
padfoot> I can’t take a show seriously when their “plot” of the episode revolved around chickens xD
KimiAru…I haven’t watched it nor do I have the game. I don’t know what to think but judging your comment I shall watch it. (I wasn’t excited when I saw the PV though…)
I also haven’t started playing Persona 3 >___>
Must watch it….now.
True tears. I preferred the game art and character design…and because of that I will not watch the anime. It’s pretty retarded but it’s not the True Tears I played. So no thank you.
Guess it really is true Poo eh? XD
indeed. True Poo. I get “True Tears” when I see the character design of the anime. http://lacryma.info/truetears/ (If only the design was like that)
Kogedonbo’s website actually leaded me to the games website when the game wasn’t out yet…I don’t why they did though.
Which reminds me…which was the year with the most harem shows..m sick of the generic pantie shot a-ton ones bleh.
I also can’t stand those slice of life shows with only girls starring a role…
(Lucky crap…ugh)
Hinano> Slight isn’t enough! It must be excessive! Like Chikane x Kaon! err… I mean Himiko x Himeko! err… you know all what I actually want to say. Actually I don’t care what shows people like. It’s personal tastes. However, I do get irked if people say blahblahblah show is the best thing since xyz. Shows which I won’t even name but everyone knows.
