This Season in anime

April 16, 2012

Overbearing student council presidents, Humanized rifles, Tony Taka, Saint Seiya Precure,  and the demons of the Cthulu Mythos gone moe….

So lets start with Medaka Box, a show where the people were interested in are all but the main character.  Right from the start where told that the president (middle)  is as perfect a a human can get witch makes her boring but every one else in the pic are interesting.  First there’s her school-long friend  who knows the president in just about every way and his best friend Shiranui  who has an unnatural ability at gathering information of any kind.  These two are the real main characters since we focus on them so far and also the most interesting, particularly Shiranui,

Next is Upotte!!, a show where you will learn more about rifles than you wanted to know, even if your a gun fanatic.   Where not told why but all manner of fire arms are humanized and tossed into a school setting where the higher your caliber the higher your grade to the point where Submachine guns and lower are in Elementary, Assault Rifles are middle school, and Heavy Assautl Riffles and above are highschool…

Personally i’m interested to see what the Berrerta m107 Sniper rifle will look like.

Funco-chan

The Onee-san’s, Jiisuri (not really an oneesan but a class A sniper), Ichiyon , and Farru

Episode 2 was particularly good with a great fire fight and sniper duel.  one of my 2 must watch this season.

Coming up is Shining Hearts, tony takas legendary girls in an anime that so far……i have no idea what ti’s about other than bread….seriously.

There’s really nothing more  i can say, with only one episode where the only thing that happened was a bunch of bread making and selling theres not much to go on.  As of right now i’m only watching it in hopes of seeing my favourite characters Mao and Xiao-mei…

Next up is Saint Seiya Omega, the secuel to the recently ended Saint Seiya Hades saga.

So the animation got turned over to the same studio that did Heartcatch Precure! and as such it’s nothing like what where used to but in it’s defense the animation works really well during fight scenes  …

As for for the characters i’m still not sure.  The hero (pegasus) is has no idea what hes doing and is just annoying, his friend (Leo minor) is ok so far, yuna seems ok for a suporting character so far…and the rest are yet to appear.  On more important notes we now know that there are at least 2 gold saints present and the rest are off on missions, what we really wana know is who they are which we haven’t been told yet.

And finally we have Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, my second must watch of the season.

Cthulu Mythos gone moe and silly commedy without going stupidly overboard.  There is really nothing i can say or show that will do it justice other than download and give it a chance.

    I recommend Accel world. It’s like futuristic MMO fighting game mechanics with a fat main character.

        I watched Upotte! yesterday. It’s awesome. I used to be a big gun-ota in middle school and part of high school. Probably the most interesting anthromorph since hetalia. Hmm, I think Elle(L85A1) is my favorite. I love their cute faces.
