Best anime of Spring 2010 season
chocobo:
Oh man. That has to be a ridiculous amount of ecchi. I'm pretty excited for it now.
I hope I don't find it too corny when it's done. I'm worried to hear that knowing it's only on it's 5th episode. One of the only series that became unbearable to me was Zero no Tsukaima. By the end of season 1, I was annoyed with Louise. By the end of season 2, I was pretty much sick of Louise. By the end of season three, I was cringing anytime she talked. I understood that the voice actress does characters like Louise, but none of them have been that bad.
Anyway, what do you think of Angel Beats!? I'm hearing mixed things about it right now.

Otaku USA magazine dubbed it as, along with chu-bra i believe, among the worst anime to come from the winter season. I laughed mi ass off when i read the article. I guess it all depends on taste and how far is too far.
If you liked Queen's Blade, you may like it. If you hated Queen's Blade, you may still find yourself liking it.

Well, every show has its "WTF!?!? moments" and it could be that im just not equipped to handle these "Slice of Life" animes.
Maid-sama's very well done though so i dont think that's it.
I guess I have an issue with anime that's supposed to be an ecchi but has little to no fan-service. (and the most that happens is hand holding) >:(

Angel Beats is turning out to be fairly good. So far, the series has been building up its characters and backstories. unlike the other two series, the backstories are actually interesting.
Its still early and I havent watched the latest episode yet but I have high hopes for this one.
The only question i have is if the series is going to really go anywhere. A lot is being built up and learned but i wonder if any of it is really relevant.
The main plot is still relatively unknown. But the art and ost is pretty good. Its a good watch, but I wish they'd shed more light on the actual plot.
lol now that I think about it, this site needs spoiler tags badly.

I've never heard of it. Was it really that bad? Aside from the horrible voice acting, is it worth the watch?
chocobo:
If you're a fan of Shakugan No Shana and Toradora! You'll probably like the series. It features the same voice actress that did Shana and Taiga.
It's pretty much the story of girl who is at a magic academy but she is a horrible magician. They call her Zero because she has had absolutely no luck in casting. It basically goes from there. There are some really good storyline and character development, but it's just hard to handle the way Louise (main character) acts all the time. I think you'll find yourself rooting for/liking other characters more than her.
Pretty much only season one got picked up for licensing. It really was the best season out of the three. The other two have been left open, and I believe they were planning a new season, but I'm not sure they have the funding to do so...

They have to make a next season. Season 3 didn't end anywhere..

Looks as if this thread finally made it to the appropriate forum.
In response to Dvys:
I'm not sure if there will be another season. I actually hope there won't be another season. The best way for them to tie up the loose ends with a series like that is to put out a 4-6 episode OAV. This way the remaining fans can get closure, but they don't have to go into full scale with it. There is a reason only season one was picked up for licensing. A lot of people lost interested in season two and again with season three. In my opinion, they should have rapped it up with season two. Fans were still loving it after one finished, and they had the ability to do something great. Why they went the route they did, I'll never know.
Also, if an OAV or new season comes, I don't know when it will happen. I know they're in the works for a third season of Shakugan No Shana. Also with the success of Toradora! I imagine they are going to want to do something more with that. The leading voice actress is also involved with a lot of other series.
@Ghostman50:
Do you have any idea when the summer season is going to kick off? I'm curious about what's coming....
