View Full Version : Jellyfish Princess: Best show this season or best show this year?
Jellyfish Princess (AKA Kuragehime) is about a house full of female otaku for various things. One is obsessed with trains, and another with Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The main character, Tsukimi, is obsessed with jellyfish. The group all suffer from crippling social anxiety, largely due to their fear of Stylish, which are just people who look cool/pretty. One day, Tsukimi meets an especially beautiful Stylish girl, and it shakes up the life of her and all her friends.
The show has great writing, great characters, and a good message behind it so far. The art style is pretty enjoyable, too. Right now, my biggest problem with the show is that I have to wait for the next episode.
The show has the best opening this season (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGjCPo5fifs).

I read the manga so far and that's pretty great too. It's kinda like a shoujo version of Genshiken(though much less flattering to nerds) crossed with a twisted version of My Fair Lady if anything. Love the princess' reason for crossdressing and the Prime Minister(his uncle)'s little dance on meeting him in drag and not recognising him..

In the anime at least, he does recognize him. He runs up and calls him Kura-pyon, implying that he knows it's Kuranosuke.

Hah that's even better. In the manga he doesn't recognise him at all, flirts a little and starts asking the older brother where he was hiding the cute girl until the older brother informs him and then does the expected double take.

I didn't like this show too much. I think the voices bugged me, it's been a while.
KIRABOSHI!
KIRABOSHI!
Whaaaaaa?
In latest ep news: An adult male character was drugged and molested by woman, and not only did this happen, but it treated it as the awful thing it is. At no point did it try and play what would definitely qualify as a traumatic experience as anything but. I gained so much respect for this show this episode.

It is quite obvious that the best show of this season is Milky Holmes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hflpBMtI5mM).

The fact that one of the characters is obsessed with Romance of the Three Kingdoms was enough for me to give it a look.

It is neither the best show this season, nor the best show this year. Those titles hae been taken by Young Justice and Adventure Time.

Also, it isn't even the best opening in Anime this year.
That honor belongs to Panty & Stocking: With Garterbelt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZRo8Z1Ser8).
Yes, it is a show. Deal with it.

Yes, Panty's panties turn into a gun. Stocking, has a stocking that turns into a sword. The priest with a fro is Garterbelt.

Freakin' love Panty and Stocking.
Especially episode 06, The fight with the demon sisters was just magnificent.
Poor Brief though. Poor, lonely Brief.
