Holy crap, I am so late! And screw this, I’m going to blog Moyashimon. This episode convinced me that it deserves a second season. As a matter of fact, it could very well become better than the first season at this rate. It really deserves this with such a tight script, and it’s definitely more than just a comedy. Plus, I have a point that I want to make.
Over the past weeks, I noticed quite a few people who commented on how uneventful this season is. And I’ve been thinking, the only way in which I can agree with that is if you’d compare it to last season with its huge quantity of standout series. Nevertheless, I’d still call this season a stand-out one, and definitely a unique one.
I mean, this isn’t like 2011’s summer season, which had a ton of series with amazing starts. What this season does have however, is creativity. Seriously: there is Uta Koi with its tons of historical content, Moyashimon with its focus on bacteria, Jinrui with its fairies and satire, Horizon with its powers and world. On top of that there is the dramatic heavy hitter of Natsuyuki Rendezvous, Hyouka and Uchuu Kyoudai which carried over from the previous seasons, and Hunter X Hunter is getting to the point where it gets really fired off. I mean I don’t know about you or anything, but I have more than enough to watch this season. If I had to label it with one word, it’d be “interesting”. Perhaps it’s not the most dramatic season (aside from perhaps Eurka Seven and Natsuyuki Rendezvous, but there is more than enough to keep you busy.
Anyway, Moyashimon: did it always have such a good script here? I mean, there is a lot of interesting dialogue in this episode, and unlike with shows as Joshiraku, it feels like the characters are actually explaining things to each other, rather than just provide exposition. The characters here have a chemistry together and feel just like real college students. The acting in this show is quite well done, if perhaps overshadowed by the other Noitamina-series this season.
Also, I remember again why I have hardly any memories of the first season: its ending was rather bad. Sure, with this second season it’s not an ending anymore, but it still was a rather rushed gimmicky episode whose concept ended with a very disappointing cop-out. I hope that the creators aren’t going to do the same for this second season.
Rating: Excellent
without those asterisk it looks empty :/
13?
13?
anyways, with this i think i’ll give it a try too. i enjoyed the first season but was put off by the change of designs.
I found some of the politically incorrect comments a little bit disconcerting since there weren’t any characters there to give a balancing view but I suppose it’s following the content of the manga.
Uhmm seriously I dont see the hype whit this series. Meaby i have to see the first season?.
