I saw this show way way back and remembered liking it. So when it came up as a random pick on one of the websites I watch anime on, I went back in. An average middle school kid who is studying for his high school exams, runs into a man running from someone. Tsutomu is… Continue reading Birdy the Mighty (Tetsuwan Birdy)

God Eater (Goddo Ītā)
God Eater was one of my most anticipated shows. The artstyle drew me in right away and the promo video was pretty damned good too. A few weeks ago, rumors started going around about the show only being 9 episodes. With all the delays and spacing out of the show, it’s kind of hard to… Continue reading God Eater (Goddo Ītā)
Gangsta (Gyangusuta)
Gangsta was the one show that stood out to me from the summer schedule. It was just the name alone, Gangsta. By being “Gangsta” and not “Gangster”, you know it’s going to be different and not just the regular gangster stuff like racketeering though there is some of that stuff too. The show is centered… Continue reading Gangsta (Gyangusuta)
Black Lagoon (Burakku Ragūn)
Action, gunshots, more action, more gunshots, stuff blows up, more gunshots, KABOOM! Black Lagoon has action on top of action but is it the type of action you want to see? Picture this. You’re Rokuro Okajima who works a 9-5 job though in Japan that might be more like 5am-9pm. You hate your job, your… Continue reading Black Lagoon (Burakku Ragūn)
Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers (Rokka no Yuusha)
Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers. I can’t believe I almost passed on this show because the name. I didn’t know anything about it until I watched the first episode. Braves of the Six Flowers doesn’t exactly sound like a fantasy adventure show but it really is. There is actually a meaning behind the name… Continue reading Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers (Rokka no Yuusha)
Aoharu x Machinegun (Aoharu x Kikanjuu)
When I heard the concept of the show, I thought it might be interesting. When I saw the first episode, I was waiting for some big twist or something and well…it’s actually pretty straightforward. The show gets going with Kanae getting played by a guy at a host club. Hotaru goes to defend Kanae’s honor but ends… Continue reading Aoharu x Machinegun (Aoharu x Kikanjuu)
Akame ga Kill! (Akame ga Kiru!)
So a kid named Tatsumi goes into the Capitol to get a job in the army to try to save his village and he gets conned by a tall statuesque woman. With nothing left, he gets picked up on the side of the road by a girl from a rich family who SEEMS to take… Continue reading Akame ga Kill! (Akame ga Kiru!)
Sabagebu!
Now you’re probably looking at the cover pic and thinking it’s just a generic moe show, well except for the gun. While they do look cute and all that, this show actually has blood and action like this: Momoka is a middle school girl (or is it high school?) who is dragged into joining one… Continue reading Sabagebu!
The Testament of Sister New Devil (Shinmai Maō no Tesutamento)
The Testament of Sister New Devil is from this past winter 2015 season, and is getting a second season in October. The show is like your typical ecchi, harem anime but they do try to push the limit a little. Basara is a seemingly ordinary high school student whose father suddenly remarries. He’s introduced to… Continue reading The Testament of Sister New Devil (Shinmai Maō no Tesutamento)
Alice in Borderland (Imawa no Kuni no Alice)
Alice in Borderland starts with a group of high school kids about to leave high school. Alice (yes it’s his name) is trying to avoid thinking about the future, so are his friends Karube and Chota. One night when they’re together they see a bright explosion in the sky and find themselves transported to a… Continue reading Alice in Borderland (Imawa no Kuni no Alice)
