Yes, it's the thin slicing at now Blog Suki nee Anime On My Mind (poor Darry, discarded like a used sock), and it starts well. No opaque sports references, no mis-spelled Brett Favre, but I am smirking and snorting at all the cute hate down the scale.

Uta Koi:

TYO Productions (yet another studio I haven’t heard about) brings us a terrible, terrible romance anime in Uta Koi. [...] Anyway, Uta Koi has pretty bad story (generically bad), animation (looks acceptable in 2008), pacing (worse than Jormungand), and dialogue. The dialogue is so sappy and so uninspired that it makes romance novels with Fabio on the cover seem like To Kill a Mockingbird, The Hobbit, and Leaves of Grass combined into one. If you’re looking for a romance anime to watch, skip this show.

Screencaps made me think that the main attraction was the depiction of naked men, but apparently they were even unable to draw and animate those.

Tanken Driland:

Anyway, Tanken Driland‘s a mobile OS game turned anime. Yes, that’s how dry the well is now. We have turned all manga, light novels, and eroges into anime, so we’re now working on mobile OS games. What next? Anime inspired from Amazon product reviews? Ikea instructions? Food truck menus? Where does it end?

I'm pretty sure that he's hilariously wrong here twice. Remember that anime made from mecha-musume figurines? I know a guy who likes it a lot, and man, I cried manly tears when Yoshika ascended in the #2 elevator (dropped it pretty quickly thereafter, but it was the fault of the director, not the source material). And additionally, what's up with the kiddie show put-down? Remember Binchou-tan? That thing was super rad, while aimed at 5-to-7-year-olds, not even 9-year-olds.

Unfortunately, what I read elsewhere about Tanken Driland confirms Jason's opinion. They say it's a soul-less, inept adventure, with an insufferable brat for a heroine, who is also dumb. Must be the royal inbreeding, expertly reproduced.

Koi Choco:

If you’re looking for a boring, generic harem anime based off a visual novel, Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate (恋と選挙とチョコレー, Love, Erection Election, and Chocolate) will be awaiting your eyeballs. This show is so generic, I ended up forgetting it until I realized, “Hey, I forgot to thin slice that show with the murder.” Yep, someone gets run over by a Prius in the introduction, and it’s never referenced again in the episode. At first, I thought that AIC Build just spliced two shows into one incorrectly, like attaching the intro of Darker Than Black in front of To Love Ru. Nope. It’s all Love, Erection, and Chocolate.

Heh.

Arcana Famiglia:

Arcana Famiglia (アルカナ・ファミリア) blends a lot of ingredients I don’t find appealing. It’s a reverse harem, action, mafia, action, tarot card smoothie. I feel like it’s one of those, “Hey, let’s just fling shit at the wall and see what sticks” shows; probably won’t surprise you that JC Staff and Chiaki Kon (director of Higurashi, Umineko, Junjou Romantica, and Nodame Paris) is behind this show and that it’s already licensed by Sentai (let’s start the pool for when Sentai goes bankrupt).

Oh, brother, I'm so with you. The only mafia show I ever watched (dropped after 8 episodes) was the one with the talking dog sidekick. Even passed upon Seto, because principles. Also! The secret of Paris-ben's deep suckage is unveiled.

Kokoro Connect:

[Jason used a screencap from Tari Tari instead, I was unable to read any further due to a laughter spasm — Author]

Hagure Yuusha:

(The animation is terrible. The backgrounds are horrendous with some consisting of maybe ten strokes. Some side and minor characters received maybe 20% of the detail that the undressing haremettes have.)

The animation complaints is something to be taken under advisement. I remember hot arguments with my readers about the animation in Idolm@ster series, where both sides rolled equally heavy-hitting screencaps and clips. Was it terrible, or was it brilliant? Nobody knows even now.

Oda Nobuna:

Sheesh. When can we finally get genderswapped George Washington and Abraham Lincoln?

Okay, I had to read deep into paragraph to find it.

Tari tari:

So he swapped screencaps on purpose. Meh. I think we're done here. Not going to argue his idiotic opinions about comparative merits of the animation in Anngel Beats even, because see above. As we climb the pole, shows are getting better, and he's finding it harder and harder to lay decent hate on them, but he's unable to blog them without.
