The End of Silver Spoon

By now I've seen about two semesters of Yugo Hachiken's time at Ooezo High School. And... I'm sorry, but I don't really have that much to say about it aside from this.

Our hero learned to appreciate good food and hard work more and is now more assertive than before and I enjoyed watching him work his way to that. Although, I have to admit, some of that is from the fact that Yugo's abuse (self-inflicted or otherwise) tends to look rather hilarious in this series.

The End of Hunter X Hunter.

"Enjoy all the little detours." Yeah, but in my case this was a HUGE detour in my life (as far as watching anime goes) but... Yeah, I enjoyed every minute of it. More about my thoughts about this version of the Hunter X Hunter anime adaptation (and, of course, spoilers) at the other side of this jump break...

The End of DRAMAtical Murder.

Well, eleven more episodes after seeing that first episode. What are my thoughts about this adaptation of a BL visual novel? (Spoiler alert: After this post, I'm going to start a Let's Play of the original visual novel) Speaking of which, I'll be talking about the anime adaptation of DRAMAtical Murder as a whole, and also a bit about the original visual novel as a result so...

SPOILER ALERT! Don't click past the jump break if you haven't seen the anime and/or don't want to be spoiled about the visual novel as well.

The End of Katekyo Hitman Reborn

Another series I started watching before the blog started, which now, I've finally watched 'till...the "End"...

So, my thoughts about the comedy anime/manga series turned battle anime/manga series titled in America as simply "Reborn" as a whole... After the jump break of course.

The End of Hakuoki Reimeiroku (plus, the first season of Hakuoki itself)

Well, this unintentionally ended up being a milestone post for my blog. (Yeah, this is going to the the 100th published post!) (Wait, so you're counting the "First Impressions", all of the Let's Play series, "This Week in", "Random Rambling Rants", and the "Overthinking Things" posts in this count?) Yeah, why not? Those entries are part of the blog as well. Anyway, as this posts title suggests, I'm going to type about my thoughts on not just the anime adaptation of the prequel to this particular otome game series and the first season of the anime adaptation of the main otome game itself. (Shameless plug incoming... We also have a Let's Play running of the 3DS port of that very game right on this blog!) So, with out further ado, this is the end of Hakuouki (Reimeiroku and the first season of the main series)...

The End of The World God Only Knows: Goddesses

Well, this is quite the pickle... Keima Katsuragi, the God of Conquest (more like "best gal game player ever"!) has reconquered the girls playing host to five of the six goddesses needed to seal away the old demons and save the world from literally becoming hell on earth. And, as seen in the previous episode, he was just so close to losing at zero trust. How will Keima pull this off? We'll see...

Of course, spoiler alert to any who haven't...'seen the ending' yet.
Note: Yes, I know this post was typed last year, but better this get published late than never.

The End of Campione

Well, I've just finished watching this one harem series on Crunchyroll and my thoughts about this series as a whole will be after the jump cut...

The End of Watamote

So, Tomoko Kuroki has spent twelve episodes trying one hare-brained scheme or another to try to 'be more popular' and what does that result in...

The End of Oreimo

Well, I'm just about to watch the last episode of "Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai!" or translated into English, "There's No Way My Little Sister Can Be This Cute!" but that's absurdly long, so I refer to it as "Oreimo"...along with (I assume) a good portion of its viewers. Also, technically, this is the last episode of the second season...and the last episode of the first season had text in it that referred to it as a "good end", so I'm worried the last episode of this season will be a "bad end"...

...Well, time to bit the bullet...

The End of Maoyu

OK, this is it, a war started between two human cultures while humanity is fighting a war against demon (who turn out to be from another world INSIDE their own) and the Hero apparently has to fight the Demon Lord (who got possessed by, at least one of, the spirit of previous demon lords). 'Till that point, she (yes, I said "she") was a more intelligent (and genre savvy) ruler who (strangely enough) seeks to not 'rule' the world but rather 'save' the world...with the Hero's help of course.

And, no, it's not that I'm not bothering to remember their names. The characters in this series are seriously referred to by their titles rather than names, even when they technically have more than one. The Demon Lord and the Crimson Scholar are actually the same person (even though there is a point where the elder of the Maid Sisters poses as the Crimson Scholar), same thing with the Hero and the Black Knight.

Let's do our best to see the other side of that hill..
Warning!: This post contains spoilers if you haven't seen the entire series yet.

The End of Hayate no Gotoku: Cuties

Today I've seen the twelfth and final episode of Hayate no Gotoku: Cuties, most of the episodes are episodic (of course!) that focuses on a different member of the series "harem" as the heroine for the episode...

The End of Devil Survivor 2: The Animation

Yesterday I watched the twelfth, and final, episode of the animated adaptation of the Shin Megami Tensei spin-off video game "Devil Survivor 2" (which, at the time of this posting, I've still haven't beaten yet)...

Welcome Everybody...(descriptions for the sub-series of this blog)

...who'll actually read this. Hello, I'm Shimohi (at least that's what I call myself in most video games). As mentioned in the description I have some sub-series in this blog and It'll take up too much of the character limit to describe what these sub-series are all about so, hence the existence of this post. Now, without further ado, here we go...

• Overthinking Things: This is the blogs alternate name, this is mostly my own attempts at providing tangential learning opportunities by typing about a connection between an anime/manga series, video game, or TV show (like some low, if any, rent version of the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series of Non-Fiction books).
• The End of (Title of TV Series or Game here): This is my reactions to the end of a series I've been watching and reflections on the series as a whole. Because I'm easy to entertain, but hard to impress, I don't think I can really call these type of posts 'reviews'. But if the Internet thinks it counts as a review, whatever. And, yes, the title of this sub-series is a Snowclone of the title of the move "The End of Evangelion".
• (Title of TV Series or Game) the First Impressions: This, in contrast to "The End of..." is my reactions to the first episode of a TV show (anime, live-action, or western animation) or the events of a game from start 'till the first time you can save (or just after the forced tutorial, whichever comes last), still keep in mind what I said about my ability to review in the above description for "The End of".
• Fan Fiction Spotlight: It is said that 90% of everything (including fan fiction) is crap. This sub-series is all about calling attention to the remaining 10% that makes the search worth it (at least in my opinion). Well...there is a type of fan fiction I read that will never, ever, ever, ever show up in this sub-series: Lemons. Just as it's said on  the That Guy With The Glasses show, What the F*** is Wrong With You?, "Nobody wants to see your d***", nobody wants to know what kind of amateur porn I read.
• Random Rambling Rants: Exactly what it says on the tin, besides, I love alliteration! Post title format is "(beginning subject) to (ending subject)".
• This Week in (Title of video game here): Some video games don't have a concrete ending...like most MMOs or games like the Animal Crossing ("Dobutsu no Mori" in Japanese) series. So this is...an actual record of the stuff that happens in that game.
• Pollnalysis: After the poll on this very blog is done gathering votes, I look at the results and this sub-series of posts are the result of said analysis. 
• Visual Novelist: Text-based Let's Play sub-series about various visual novels, and it's not just Romance games either.
• PPS Officer: Short for "Pokemon Protective Services" (something I made up for a game of Pokemon Tabletop Adventures I'd like to run someday). A Let's Play sub-series all about the various games of the Pokemon Franchise.
• MegaTen Demonologist: A Let's Play sub-series all about games from the Shin Megami Tensei series and it's spin-offs.
• Final Fantasist: A Let's Play sub-series focusing on the single-player Final Fantasy games (this means I'm NOT including the MMORPGs in the series).
• Role-Playing Gamer: A Let's Play sub-series that covers pretty much everything that doesn't fall under the influence of the other series.

I will add more here as more sub-series crop up.
