Here’s one I went way back for. Well not THAT far back but this is one that most people seem to have ignored. At least the people I know of anyway. The show is based around a concept of “Shikabane Hime” which is after being murdered, some people come back with the goal of killing… Continue reading Shikabane Hime (Corpse Princess)
Tag: drama
Sola
Sola is a show I picked randomly while snowed in. I had no expectations going into the show but I saw drama tags and a few others and thought it was going to be a slow meandering show but then there was another tag that caught my attention. Supernatural. Yorito has an unexplained obsession with… Continue reading Sola
Charlotte (Shārotto)
When I saw the name Charlotte on the summer anime list, I thought it was just going to be some cutesy moe anime (I avoid previews when I can unless it’s a second or third season). Charlotte was not even close to being a moe anime though the Yuu’s little sister is a really cute kid… Continue reading Charlotte (Shārotto)
The Fruit of Grisaia/The Labyrinth of Grisaia/The Eden of Grisaia
So I finally decided to watch the Grisaia trilogy again. Well it’s not truly a trilogy since it’s a 13 episode first season, a 45 minute movie and then a 10 episode second season. That movie could have been chopped into a few episodes and merged into the second season. Let’s get into it. The… Continue reading The Fruit of Grisaia/The Labyrinth of Grisaia/The Eden of Grisaia
Love, Chunnibyou & Other Delusions! (Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai)
Love, Chunnibyou & Other Delusions! is a show that gets high marks from many people. It’s a romantic comedy with a heavy emphasis on the comedy side. If you know the quality that Kyoto Animation brings to the table then you know what you’re in for. Season 1 brings us into the story where Yuuta… Continue reading Love, Chunnibyou & Other Delusions! (Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai)
Strain: Strategic Armored Infantry (Soukou no Strain)
Strain: Strategic Armored Infantry is a more mecha and less filler except for one episode. In the distant future, mankind is divided into 2 factions called Union and Deague. Both have military might, the Union uses manned crafts known as Strain and the Deague use unmanned Tumors. Ralph Werec who was 16 at the time,… Continue reading Strain: Strategic Armored Infantry (Soukou no Strain)
Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya (Owari no Seraph: Nagoya Kessen-hen)
Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya is the second season of Seraph of the End. Not too much changes here as it’s a continuation from the first season. A direct continuation. If you remember the first season, the vampires came hard and fast after the Moon Demon Company but this time they’re bringing to… Continue reading Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya (Owari no Seraph: Nagoya Kessen-hen)
Rec (Rekku)
Rec is a short anime that came out a decade ago. It actually started airing in February of 2006. One look at the show and you can tell it’s from that timeline but it doesn’t look as dated as a lot of older shows do. If I said it came out this year, you might… Continue reading Rec (Rekku)
Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins (Please Teacher and Please Twins)
Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins has a lot of carryover in characters. In both series, the main protagonist is put in a situation which is seemingly impossible but of course he figures out what he has to do. It is TV afterall and not real life where things never go as planned. In Onegai Teacher,… Continue reading Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins (Please Teacher and Please Twins)
Yuki Yuna is a Hero (Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru)
The cover art is so misleading on this show. While they are schoolgirls, there is a lot more to this show than that. The story takes place in Shikoku, an island of Japan in the distant future. Though if you read previews you will notice it says the year 300 but it’s in another era.… Continue reading Yuki Yuna is a Hero (Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru)
