Samurai Harem! (Asu no Yoichi!)

Prison School (Purizun Sukūru)
The summer 2015 season had a few shows that got everyone’s attention for their visuals and hints at what they may be about.

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)
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!!!)
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
