I stopped watching Level E, Kore Wa Zombie, and Babypenis due to time constraints during my semester. Are any of these even the slightest bit above average and worth a marathon after finals?
I would definitely recommend Level E. It was probably my second favorite the winter season next to Madoka.
Level E 13: Epic troll on the troll
What a great ending. First there's one twist, then that gets re-twisted, and then awesomeness ensues. Prince Baka and Princess Luna are really the most absurd and perfect couple for each other. The cat scene at the end just ties everything up perfectly.
I really thought this was a fantastic series overall. It succeeds at being a comedy, but it where it really shines is in its storytelling. Each story varies dramatically from arc to arc, but they are all special and great in their own way and tie up together nicely in the end. The first and last arcs of the series were probably the best in my opinion, but each arc has its own unique style and content, which will probably make the show appeal to many different people.
Steins;Gate 1: Mmm, bananas
The style of this story is presented in is certainly a bit confusing, but that is the point of many stories based on time travel. Nothing much really happened, but the first episode managed to distinctly establish the personalities of its characters through their conversations with each other. I'm not too sure how I feel about the bland and faded background image the show is going for. I'll have to wait until the high quality TV release or more episodes to decide.
