Anime post
I have completed several series lately, so let me just give you a short comment about them.
Hataraku Maou-sama was pretty interesting, although I kept wishing that Emi would do something cool, and she never did. I suppose Gintama has the only cool female characters XDD The same about Ashiya, he was a demon general, how come he didn't get to do anything cool either? But at least Maou himself was plenty cool in episode 12. The last episode really felt like the story was unfinished, I hope it means that there will be a second season because even though there were things I didn't like much, it was still a nice light-hearted comedy and even the harem elements were not too awful.
Chihayafuru 2 had a nice ending, in the sense that there was a lot of Arata, and he is completely adorable XD But the less nice thing was all the love triangle problems. I really don't like Taichi because jealousy is such an unbecoming feeling, and I'm not sure about Chihaya - I used to like her, but somehow I like her less and less, and I don't know what exactly changed. Probably her getting more emotional is what I don't like. Well, never mind that, at least there is Arata. He is such an awkward dork, but when he actually plays karuta, he turns into some sort of godly being XD And he is such a ray of sunshine, unlike a certain Mr. Grumpypants who likes Chihaya and is jealous of Arata :/ Well, whatever happens further in the series, I just want Arata to be happy.
Taishou Yakyuu Musume was a good little series. I don't really know much about baseball (I actually watched some instructional videos after that and I still don't get it XDD) but I really liked the whole feminist aspect of the series - the main idea was about women wanting to show men that they can play baseball as well. The historic setting (the series is taking place in 1925) makes it more interesting, back in those times in Japan people had really definite ideas about what women should and should not do, and playing baseball was definitely on the 'not' list. As usual, I didn't like the romantic and fanservicey aspects much, but luckily, the sports aspect was more prominent than everything else, so it was interesting to watch.
