Actually I Am will draw comparisons to Rosario + Vampire because the main girl is a vampire and the male protagonist is a weak male who doesn’t ‘get it’. But there are big differences in the 2 shows. Asahi Kuromine is the male character I spoke of, the one who doesn’t ‘get it’. But he also… Continue reading Actually I Am (Jitsu wa Watashi wa)
Overlord (Ōbārōdo)
Overlord and Gangsta were my most anticipated shows of the summer. It was really just the names. Gangsta and Overlord. It just sounds like a ton of action and asses getting kicked which they both were. The show is set in the world of Yggdrasil, an MMORPG that is being shut down. Momonga is one of… Continue reading Overlord (Ōbārōdo)
Working!!! (Wagnaria!!!)
By now everyone should know about Working/Wagnaria. One of the funny workplace comedies from recent years. This is my review/preview of the first 2 seasons. This season of Working!!! saw the show go in different directions from before. Some of the storylines were kind of obvious from the outside looking in but they took some… Continue reading Working!!! (Wagnaria!!!)
Beyond the Boundary (Kyōkai no Kanata)
Beyond the Boundary is a show I saw subbed but waited for the dub before making this post. For some reason I felt there was a need to do that with this one and I was right. I don’t get into that ridiculous dub vs sub crap. It’s not as if those people who bitch… Continue reading Beyond the Boundary (Kyōkai no Kanata)
Rosario + Vampire Seasons 1 & 2 (Rozario to Banpaia)
I meant to go back and watch this earlier but for some reason I kept bypassing it. Rosario + Vampire is one of the harem animes that was done very well for a short season, well 2 short seasons. The summer 2015 season had Actually I Am which has a similar concept but they did… Continue reading Rosario + Vampire Seasons 1 & 2 (Rozario to Banpaia)
Akikan (Empty Can)
Have you ever dreamed of getting a drink from a vending machine and a girl popped out of the can? Yeah, I haven’t either but it happened to Kakeru Daichi. He bought a can of melon soda and as he was drinking it, a girl happens to appear. These girls are known as “akikans”. The… Continue reading Akikan (Empty Can)
Steel Angel Kurumi
Steel Angel Kurumi is one I watched long ago, I remembered liking the show so I watched it again. Kurumi is a character that you don’t forget about. She’s goofy, loveable and overbearing all at the same time. The show takes place in the 1920s, a time of war across the world. But the story of… Continue reading Steel Angel Kurumi
Is This Order a Rabbit? (Gochūmon wa Usagi Desu ka?)
This show ended up on my watch list sometime last year because the ridiculous name. It’s part of the moe show invasion. The story revolves around Cocoa Hoto (Yes, that would be hot chocolate). She moves into a new town to attend school. In the new town, she doesn’t know anyone but ends up living… Continue reading Is This Order a Rabbit? (Gochūmon wa Usagi Desu ka?)
My Fall 2015 Anime Preview
This fall’s lineup does not look very good. Maybe there will be some hidden gems but doesn’t look good. My list is almost watch/don’t watch with very few maybes in between. Gundam – Yes. Watching. Yes. Greenlit for 25 episodes. Yes. Comet Lucifer – More mecha, more yes. This was the first show I watched… Continue reading My Fall 2015 Anime Preview
Sol Bianca: The Legacy
Sol Bianca: The Legacy is a miniseries from 1999. It’s loosely based on the original Sol Bianca. As a matter of fact, it looks like it takes place BEFORE the original. It’s a different storyline from the original so don’t expect any open plotlines to be closed or anything like that if you were waiting… Continue reading Sol Bianca: The Legacy
