Frankly, I don't.<\/p><\/div>\n

I had forgotten all about Rideback<\/em> until today. \u00a0I watched all of the series and gave it a pretty good score of 7 (out of 10). \u00a0Yet why is it that it simply disappeared from my mind for the past two months or so?<\/p>\n

Rin, Kataoka… hmmn. \u00a0That’s pretty much all of the characters I can name. \u00a0There was a girl who had shitty hair, one who died, a couple of stereotypical “nerds,” and a guy with an enormous nose, but I can’t seem to recall any of their names. \u00a0(And in all honesty, I can’t remember Kataoka’s first name, and I only “remembered” Rin because her name is in the picture above.)<\/p>\n

Is this just part of a group of anime that are easily forgotten? \u00a0Going down my MAL list, I can pick out three anime that I’d forgotten about: Rideback<\/em>, Munto<\/em>, and Love Hina<\/em>. \u00a0Hell, I don’t even remember what happened in Love Hina<\/em>, much less the character names and whatnot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

What do you mean Ken Akamatsu did something before Negima?<\/p><\/div>\n

Also, that girl at the top looks a lot like that Vampire-killer from Index<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It’s not like I’ve watched these eons ago either – I watched Love Hina<\/em> last October or so and Munto<\/em> and Rideback<\/em> aired just last season.<\/p>\n

Munto<\/em> (KyoAni label) and Love Hina<\/em> (Akamatsu label) are pretty well-known and I made some hate posts against Munto<\/em>, so it’d be natural for me to remember them, right? \u00a0How come I don’t?! \u00a0>:(<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

But I can't remember you doing it, damn it!<\/p><\/div>\n

Just so I don’t end the post right here, I’m going to try and find some similarities among these three forgettable anime.<\/p>\n

Okay, so… Munto<\/em> had a shitty plot.<\/p>\n

Love Hina<\/em>… well, I don’t remember the plot, so I’ll just assume it sucks too.<\/p>\n

Rideback<\/em>… huh. \u00a0It had a pretty nice plot, come to think of it. \u00a0Robot ballet, robots going around the place, robots robots robots SUDDEN AWESOME DEATH robots robots…<\/p>\n

I guess “bad plot” is out of the running as a scapegoat for my inability to remember.<\/p>\n

Munto<\/em> had bad art. \u00a0Love Hina<\/em>… again, I don’t remember crap about this show, so I’ll assume it sucks too. \u00a0Rideback<\/em> had okay art. \u00a0Damn it.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Um. \u00a0They were all boring. \u00a0Yeah.<\/p>\n

Munto<\/em> was supposed to be an awesome KyoAni anime about awesome, but I got Mr. face-changing freak and Mrs. I’m kind of useless.<\/p>\n

Love Hina<\/em> made me fall asleep. \u00a0I remember that much.<\/p>\n

Rideback<\/em> was better than Regios<\/em> in terms of action, but it was boring. \u00a0Jesus. \u00a0I remember sitting in front of my computer screen waiting for some non-ballet talk for entire episodes.<\/p>\n

I guess boring –> forgettable, then.<\/p>\n

Wait, then how come I still remember <\/span>Mars of Destruction<\/span><\/em>?<\/span> \u00a0Exceptionally shitty anime must be exceptions. \u00a0(I’m going to have Isshoni Training<\/em> stuck in my head for how long, then?!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2zM4X-D2","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2420\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
