anime of 2012-2013

(by Rome)
today i would like to discuss anime of 2012/2013, or just recent anime in general. i have given TONS of them really fair chances (imo) but they are all just so boring or typical. the only thing they have going for them is the animation and art. and even then its getting a bit old. not necessarily the slick animation, just the art. i have searched far and wide for these recent anime and all the characters look almost EXACTLY the same. that really average looking guy with short brown hair, not too tall-looking, petite, and then of course a girl with light peachy-orange hair.
see what i mean?
and is it just me or is P.A works the only anime studio producing shows these days? because lots of the recent animes are made by them, hence exactly the same art and exactly the same look each character is going for. its not only the looks, personality is also an issue. there always has to be a fudging Tsundere girl in the anime and it makes me want to scream so much, its so irritating! the only line they have for everyone is ''Urasai! baka!'', they are constantly saying urasai again and again, and if a boy pays them the slightest bit of attention they start blushing and thinking he wants to get into their pants so she says ''URASAYOO!'' even though she's secretly desperate for something more. Tsundere girls tension levels must be 10 times higher then normal girls because a man cannot even look at them without the screen zooming into her blushing face, closing her eyes, fire building up and then finally yelling ''BAAAAAAAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'' (something along those lines anyway). 

not to mention everyone rubs them up the wrong way except this one certain man who is so heartwarming and kind she cant help loving him and the ice slowly melts by the end of the series. the next category is bloody moe's. now, im not going to lie, i like moe myself, not in a pervy way, dont get me wrong, but they can be cute, certain attributes or the look and whatnot, but the moe girls anime is producing these days just cheese me off so much. its always a girl who forces innocence, has an unbearable high-pitched voice that makes you want to punch them and secretly enjoys male attention, either that or somehow magically gets herself involved in disturbing situations. like she conveniently doesnt realize she's meant to wear nickers and she trips over- or she forgets how to lock the door when she's having a shower or she doesnt realize wearing her undies and nothing else infront of a guy is something thats just not done. either that or she has a long conversation with her private parts out and then after he's had a good ol oggle she looks downs at her self, clenches her fists next to her chest and starts squealing with fear, or something gay like that.
these arent the best examples but i wasnt about to upload highly disturbing images onto my blog. oh, and another typical looking guy -_- 
in my eyes if your moe your not a dumb beeyotch, your careful about what you wear and whats inappropriate and you have sincere innocence which means you wont be blending with every guy you can see and falling ontop of them 24/7. there are plenty of moe characters that dont have these attributes that are still considered moe like the cast of lucky star, which i quite like too, and a bunch of others, but i simply cant stand the typical shizz that 2013 anime is coming out with.
besides the characters another sad point about recent animes is that they're all style no substance. beautiful animation, and yet the storyline is so typical, has been done a hundred times before and is boring. the characters arent even likeable because they are also the typical tut i mentioned above.
i did find some anime which seemed good, unique characters, interesting plot, but sadly i had to give them up because the genre as a whole didnt appeal to me, like it turned out to be Yaoi or Ecchi or something like that ¬_¬
and if that wasnt the case then the characters were unbearably ugly i had to quit.
so as you can tell i have been in quite a deep anime-slum, you might call it. i just cant find anything fun or gripping to watch =/ but im not going to quit because anime and manga is my passion, i just might have to retire from watching stuff for a while (or at least will have to try).
all this being said i did still find some 2012-2013 animes which i liked or am following so at least some good things came from my endevures. i only wish manga/anime creators would just be a little more creative when creating a story like in the good old days, because even if they have good idea's they ruin it by adding cliche's which seem to appeal to a much bigger audience but not me, such as plenty of bath scenes, tsundere characters whom's neck you want to wring and many other things.
hmm, i think thats about it. maybe not, theres still lots i want to say perhaps but i suppose i'll have to leave it at this. bye-bye for now.

  1. xD That is so funny! And I agree with almost everything you said. I've been having the same kind of problem with anime, and books :( I guess 2012/13 is just not the year for exceptional entertainment.
