Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Seneki
Chaos Dragon seemed to be a very polarizing show for some reason though I have no idea why. The concept of Chaos Dragon is an intriguing one. It was based on a role playing project Red Dragon created by 5 notable character designers: Gen Urobochi (Fate/Zero), Kinoko Nasu (Kara no Kyoukai), Iduki Kougyoku (Mimizuku to… Continue reading Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Seneki
Witch Craft Works (Witchikurafuto Wākusu)
Honoka is a regular high school student who finds himself one of the most hated people in school and not by any fault of his own. It starts with him being seated next to the school’s most popular girl Ayaka. They never even spoke to each other before but one simple interaction between them, gets… Continue reading Witch Craft Works (Witchikurafuto Wākusu)
Birdy the Mighty (Tetsuwan Birdy)
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)
Himouto! Umaru-chan
I was going to pass on this show when I saw the first image released for it. It was hamstergirl surrounded by her games and all that and that to me was passable. But when people kept talking about her like she’s Hestia or something, I had to check out what the hell was going… Continue reading Himouto! Umaru-chan
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)
SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist (Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai)
SHIMONETA is one that I picked up because the name alone seemed like it would be funny. Think about it, could you imagine a world where people didn’t tell dirty jokes? Even if you don’t like them, you have people who do, people who make it like their sole purpose. It’s like the Star Trek… Continue reading SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist (Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai)
Everyday Life with Monster Girls (Monsutā Musume no Iru Nichijō)
I had no clue what to expect with this one. From the stuff I read ahead of time, the premise was a guy who had to live with a monster girl and adjust his way of life to accomodate her. But that isn’t the whole story. At that time the only pictures available for preview… Continue reading Everyday Life with Monster Girls (Monsutā Musume no Iru Nichijō)
