Overall Review: Zetsuen no Tempest

Let's break most of the current stereotypes about anime, shall we?

Zetsuen no Tempest - 24 [End]

"To Each, Their Own Tale"

Oh boy, how do I even get started...

Zetsuen no Tempest - 23

"Battle of Genesis"

And that, my friends, is how you orchestrate a final battle.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 22

"Fuwa Aika"

Please, Universe, let Bones pull this finale off, just once!

Zetsuen no Tempest - 21

"Femme Fatale (Woman of Fate)"

Now this is why I watch anime. If I could write a love letter to Bones, I would, but I'm afraid my Japanese isn't good enough for them to take it seriously.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 20

"Whodunit (Who Did It)"

I would say, "I TOLD YOU SO," except this episode was so epic, it didn't matter.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 19

"The Object of Desire"

Ah, bromance. Saving guys' asses from their slightly crazy friends for generations.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 18

"The Dancing Princess"

Two weeks ago in my Japanese Literature class, I read a short story by Mori Ogai titled Maihime. Coincidence? Yeah, but watching Zetsuen makes everything feel like it happens for a reason.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 17

"Marine Snow"

This was so funny, it felt wrong. It seems that Hanemura isn't as stupid as everyone else makes him out to be.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 16

"The Wandering Apparition"

Ghosts as vestiges of desires; in other words, we see ghosts because we want to, and not all ghosts are the spirits of the dead.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 15

"You Seem to be Plotting Something"

I think that when you're having fantasies about touching someone's ears, it should be obvious that you're in love... or a fetishist. Also, the Power Rangers called. They want their black suit back.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 14

"Happy New Year"

Damn, Hakaze. For a "sheltered" and "lovesick" girl, you can certainly kick some ass. Not that we didn't think you could.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 13

"The Reason of Dreams"

A timeskip, a recap, and a trippy dream? Zetsuen no Tempest has returned.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 12

"Absent Thee from Felicity Awhile"

Now I can add fighting trees to my "strange things I'll likely only find in anime" list.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 11

"Girl of Time"

Somehow I always thought I'd write more notes when blogging Psycho-Pass, but this episode proved me completely wrong at double the amount.

General Impressions: Psycho-Pass, Shinsekai Yori, and Zetsuen no Tempest

Before I pick up episodic coverage on these series, I'd like to give a quick review on my general thoughts for each thus far.
