>>7I've been meaning to get to Samurai Flamenco and Log Horizon soon, and I'm saving Kill la Kill til it goes a little farther so that I can marathon it. It just seems like one of those shows. I've also been watching Monogatari and Space Bros, along with Beyond the Boundary (tis quite good), Golden Time, Magi season 2, the new Yozakura Quartet, and Gingitsune.
I had watched the first half of From the New World and it never really gripped me. I think I gave up on it right before shit started going down with the plot and I keep telling myself to give it another go but I still haven't.
On the flipside, I did watch Flowers of Evil and I loved it...as much as one could love a show with such a bleak plot. I think the use of atmospherics was beautiful, and I adapted to the rotoscoping really quickly. I was a little confused why it was getting so much hate from the majority of fans, and I think it's cause the anime adaption relied so heavily on suspense, and if you had read the manga beforehand, its impact was severely lessened or outright eliminated. That said, there were a lot of directing calls in the show (such as the aimless walking scenes and the use of repetitive camera angles to symbolize the drudgery of a depressing routine) that I think made it fantastic. I just found it to be a really moody intriguing watch for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
