Yes, I know it’s a material worth three posts but I need to write this one out. I am getting so disappointed by new anime that I want to die. I am going to do a review for all the three separately, so if you don’t know the anime, then I guess, this post would just act as spoilers for you. But if you want to know why I was disappointed in these anime, read on.

First, let’s talk about Tokyo Ravens. The ending was such an utter disappointment. I mean, you wait for 24 episodes, an awesome plot going on. On the way, you convince other people too that it’s a good story. You have to wait like two weeks for the ending episode because you don’t have means to watch it at the time it was aired. And then boom! An open ending. Now even if there is a second season, I won’t be able to watch it probably. The animators did the same thing to it what the creators of Shakugan no Shana did to it. I won’t be surprised if the protagonist comes back as antagonist with new allies and claims to do everything he is doing for the sake of his old friends or whatever. I had so many hopes with the anime. Everything was going so good.Animation was good, a lot of twists, good character development, except for one or two. This one needs at least a movie to tie the loose ends as hell.

Next comes Nisekoi. I haven’t read the manga. But two girls were enough, you know. It was not necessary to introduce a third girl. It’s like, you take two tomatoes, chop them properly and you are preparing the food for just one person. Then, you feel,”Oh! You know what? I think one more tomato would spice up things a little.” but you’re not making a tomato mess. You are to make a good meal here. Ever heard “too many cooks spoil the broth?” (Guess it wasn’t a good example but you got my point).

I mean, even if it’s childhood, how can one guy make the same promise with three different girls with a variation to certain degree which includes marriage, just like that? Fake love doesn’t mean it’s gonna involve three girls. I don’t know how many are yet to get introduced. I should have listened to the unknown person who had commented on some website that they would soon introduce the third girl. My enthusiasm about the series had went down then and there. And the series is halfway through!

Nisekoi should have stopped at 12th episode rather than the next one – Noragami. I have just one complaint about this one. Why the hell did you stop after 12th episode? No complaints about the ending. It was a good finish to a good series. But it was interesting as hell. The romance element between the two main characters and the past of main side character (you get the irony?) needed more time, episodes and focus. This was one anime for which I used to look forward to new episode every week. Arrrggghhhh!!! Just make another season for this one, would’ya?

Even after reading plots like a hundred times on different websites and trying the 1st episode for each anime before giving it a chance, I get to have this much disappointment, I have decided, I’ll let the new anime finish first and then start with them. For now, I am taking rest from new anime.

On the other hand, I have finished so many old anime, I have lost count myself. So I made an account on MyAnimeList.net by the name of EastAsianLover again (should’ve done way before). If you have watched the three series, what are your thought about them? Comment below and let me know if you agree or disagree with me!
