Some update and future plans for this blog + Summer anime 2015 watching progress so far

So I'm going to post a little update for this week.. and also future plans of this blog
Apparently I got a lot of projects to do in my office up till November, So I think there's a possibility that I won't be able to post weekly as usual. *maybe 1-2 weeks of hiatus* I'm sorry for the inconvenience guys.

Secondly, I usually go to Anime Festival Asia Indonesia (AFAID) every year, but this year I won't go there because I'm not really interested to go there since it's quite far from my home.. (I live in the south, and it is being held in the far north in the middle of nowhere) and not offering something new, and they screen some anime which is not interesting for me (i.e. Attack on Titan movie recap of the series, Boruto *blergh, assassination classroom (which I already watch the series...welp 2 eps of it to be precise XP). And there's no interesting guest or bands that I like.. Well there's FLOW.. but I'm not into them that much.. Even though there's GACKT coming, but unfortunately he didn't got to perform on Anisong.. welp.. hopefully next year. haha

But I'm coming to Jakarta Comic Con instead, which is basically held in the same place as AFAID lol (Yeah I just said that it was far from my home, but I'm going there anyway). Since I'm curious what'll be like. I hope they screen some update on Batman vs Superman there 

Sorry, I'm itching for experiencing something new, hahaha! Maybe I'll post an event report of Jakarta Comic Con later. *maybe* XP

The next thing I want to talk about is this year's summer anime.. and boy there's a lot of disappointing anime this season, you can check my first impressions of them here . The thing is, does it live up to my expectations? Let's see!

Chaos Dragon : I watched 3 eps of it and I dropped it... There's a lot of characters, and I don't really engaged with the setting, There's even an explanation in break scene before part A and part B of the anime. How can you expect to read that wall of text in just a second like that? Damn it. My girlfriend have watched up till episode 8 and she told me that there's nothing really interesting happened up to that point. Chaos Dragon is chaotic after all. 

Himouto Umaru-chan : This anime is popular among my friends.. And that made me download the whole on going episode, And I watched the first episode of it... aaaannnddd I dropped it and delete the remaining episode because I can't take it... I don't get why it is so popular lol
So there's this imouto (Little sister) who does everything perfect at school (having good grades, good at sports etc) but at home, she became a super spoiled freaking brat who is a total otaku and always get what she wants by being a bratty bitch and because his big brother let her do so...She always got what she wants and always have it her ways. She whines and sulks until she got what she want.....
and every time she did that I was like

It's said here that the genre is comedy, but it didn't make me laugh at all the entire first episode......
For me if the genre is comedy and it didn't make laugh at all, that means the show have problems..
well there's a notable "otaku" references going on like "Nice Boat" from School days... But still, didn't even make laugh like I watch Gintama (which is much better in executing parody/referencing jokes). Sometimes I fed up with otaku reference jokes in anime, Every time I watch anime that heavily relies on otaku reference jokes, I was like

And that is why I don't watch Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken

Maybe there's a reason I don't like this anime.
Have I seen this before?
Why did it feel so familiar? 
Why did I hate this kind of imouto?
oh
I remember
she's like Kirino from OreImo!
Nope,
I'm so done
Not this shit again

Non Non Biyori : I've watched up to eps 4 and still haven't move on from it.. It's so good so far! 

God Eater : I watched up to eps 3 and I dropped it because it's so bland and the main character (which should be the player) is just boring and doesn't have a personality on him. The animation is indeed stunning since it is ufotable works, but still.. I don't feel the story is the same with God Eater that I played on PSP back then. It feels so different, and the pacing at 2nd episode is just tooooo slow.. 
it was like, the main character got prison because..... he didn't obey the rule. and in the end they offered the main character "Hey kid, do you want to get out of prison?"
and the main character be like
"well duh!"
and the show ended....
I think this show is popular because of Alisa's underboobs amirite?

Ranpo Kitan : I watched 2 eps of it and I'm still confused with it. It is a good mystery show but the way it delivers and the presentation is kinda weird. I really don't like the other characters that is not really "Important" are just shown as silhouette and that feels like a lazy animator doing their things because of the tight schedule lol. But what makes me irritated is apparently the silhouette character was the criminal who did the murder. 
Well.. I sure didn't see that coming hahaha

Gangsta : best of this season so far. currently watching 9 episodes of it now

Charlotte : It is a good show so far. It feels so Angel Beats I will make a full review of it when it is done airing 

Ushio to Tora : just watched the first episode of it. Haven't continue it yet... But it is cool!

Gakkou Gurashi : ermmagad... How do I even start about this anime? What keeps me watching this is because I want to know why people see this as a good series.. while I don't see it that way. Well it has good premise and taking an unique theme in zombie genre.. but for me it's a wasted potential...
I will make full review of this too.. but this one is going to be harsh review.. because I hardly enjoy this popular anime 

Kangoku Gakuen (Prison School) : 2nd best of this season! Totally gonna make a review out of it!

Gatchaman Crowds Insight : Just watched the first episode.. Still saving them up!
Durarara! : Saving 'em up
Rokka Yuusha : It has a good premise, I watched up till eps 3... haven't continued watching again


Okay guys, that's all the update for this week! Thanks for reading! :D
