My Battle Plan for the Spring 2009 Season

It’s nothing.  I don’t have a battle plan.

But what I do have is something kind of like an excuse for a battle plan…

So this blog is dedicated to bashing bad anime (among other things), desho?

Well, obviously, it’s hard to decide where to draw the line between bloggably bad and “holy shit, I need to stop watching this to save my eyes” bad.

Looking at spring ’09, I see quite a few shows that I wouldn’t watch even if you paid me to (Jewel Pets, I’m looking at you!).

So logically, a question arises:
Which anime should I skip, and which should I blog bash?

So I’ve come up with this idea (and I’m totally being 100% srs here – I even went out of my way to post a picture informing you of the degree of my srsness) to watch the first episode of every anime of the Spring 2009 season, for better or for worse.

This way, I’ll be able to sort out the anime into…

• The good
• The bad
• The horrible
• The bloggable
• The “who-the-hell-would-want-to-watch-this”able

Of course, there are some obvious flaws to this.

It’s blatantly disobeying “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but that’s okay, because public opinion can draw me back to an anime (like it did after Lucky Star 01 for me!).

It also makes me vulerable to attack from late failers (that’s the opposite of a late bloomer, mind you).
For example, a Shana-turned-Kurokami could hit me straight in the gut and OHKO me.
However, there isn’t too big of a chance of that (I hope), so my eyes are safe (?).

Oh, and I ain’t watching no sequel that I’ve not seen the first season of (my english teacher would kill me for that horrible wording).

Obviously, this is because I’ll have no freaking idea what’s going on, and if I watch the previous seasons later, I’ll find them predictable.

 

So tl;dr:
To best suit my blogging style, I’m going to watch the first episode of every [subbed] anime of spring ’09, but I won’t be watching sequels.
