Bored at home, or Cen watches shitty anime and doesn't know why

Ever since I moved back into my parents house, I've been unable to play League of Legends at all, so I've been watching a lot more anime, a couple of which aren't bad.

First, I've been keeping up on Nurarihyon no Mago. For the life of me, I can't figure out why I'm still watching this show. It's absurdly generic shonen, involving yokai (demons), swords, etc. I think something about the "high school guy living a double life" thing attracts me, but I can't excuse myself for watching this show. Every episode, I expect something to happen, and nothing ever does.

Next up also has to do with yokai: Yokai Otome Zakuro. I honestly don't think it's bad at all, but it does get rather boring. Character development is barely existent, and pretty much every male character is absurdly pretty, which gets annoying after a while.

After that we have Fortune Arterial, in which there are two things too obvious to miss. 1: It's an adaptation of a H Visual Novel, that wasn't made by Key, and as a result has about the same chance of being good as I do of randomly bursting into flame. 2: Vampires. Not traditional, Hellsing-style vampires either. kinda halfway between Twilight vampires (They have no reaction to sunlight at all), and Chibi Vampire vampires (They really don't seem that threatening).

Next on my plate is Shinrei Tantei Yakumo. While it started out pretty good, and has a pretty good cast, it's just sort of plateaued. While there has been plot development, it hasn't been all that interesting, and twists have been pretty obvious.

It hasn't all been bad though. Thanks to Mefloraine, I avoided giving Milky Holmes a second chance. (It's pretty much K-ON meets Sherlock Holmes from what I could tell)

I've also been watching To Aru Majutsu no Index II, and apart from a lack of Misaka really doing much besides tsundere-ing, it's as good as ever. Accelerator even showed up at one point, still his bat-shit crazy self.

I did finish Katanagatari, and wow. The last episode was an amazing end to a great show. If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend you do so immediately.

On another note, I've yet to watch the Haruhi movie, "Haruhi Suzumiya no Shoushitsu" (The Dissappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya). This is despite the fact that it's based on my favorite of the Haruhi light novels, and entirely due to being unable to find decent internet for more than a couple hours in the past week. Hopefully I can finish that download tomorrow.

Sorry I haven't posted recently. I've been going through a lot lately.
