Winter 2011 Anime Line-up
Here is the visual guide for the upcoming December 2010 - February 2011 anime broadcasts. So far I can definitely tell you that I am looking forward to Kimi ni Todoke Season 2, and I just cannot believe I have not reviewed such an amazing series yet!
However, I have got to admit my light disappointment as I am scanning through some of the new series' synopsis'. It seems like they just do not make anime the way they used to. Now-a-days you would think they transitioned from the gripping stories and characters we knew and loved as if they were our best friends, as if they stepped out of our very own dreams the way they could relate to our "growing pains." Or even the way they closely resembled the heroes or role models we've always wanted. Now the characters of today are plastic models of what "used-to-be."
Don't you miss looking at the screen, or flipping through a manga and thinking, "That's me," when you watch them actually come to life and grow? I know that I do, and I also know that it is way too early to judge, but based simply on what I have seen in much recent line-ups it just seems to me like the real storytellers have retired, and are being replaced by mere copycats who never really learned from the masters, but blindly imitate them. Please do not misunderstand. The magic of dream weaving was not lost on an unworthy generation. You just have to look a bit harder to find it now, it seems.
