Anime Reviews: Stardust Crusaders, Book of Circus, Nobunaga Concert thus far

Still from Nobunaga Concerto

As usual, I don't catch up with anime unless it's JoJo really good to the point I can't stop watching it. It makes me sad that a couple of anime series have already ended. Fortunately some of them will continue soon. I'm excited that Psycho-Pass season two is starting next month. I've been waiting for it since last year and I hope the story is just as good as the last season. In this entry, I'm reviewing four series that have been completed or are close to completion.

July 2014 Anime OP/ED Worth a Listen Worth a Watch

This month, there are some promising animes worth watching and I think it's good to see that the music used lived up to its expectations. At the end of this post, I have an honorable mention and a shout out to a band I respect very much. Depending on the genres I suppose, I noticed a certain musical trend this year. A lot of the dark and more violent action themed animes like to use electronic based rock. I'm not too sure if there's a name for it, but that's what I'll call it for now. It's very harsh sounding, but still recognized as mainstream. Some of these opening and ending animations are very fun to watch. Typical openings/endings feature a stationary pose for the entire cast of characters making it very boring to watch over and over again. The new trend I suppose is using more motion and fluidity in presentation in terms of colors and graphic design.
