IF you do not want to hear any ramblings about anime at all, you should leave immediately.
So I've hyped the Spring season up pretty hard the past while. Figures that I might as well just finally close off this whole hype idea and give you guys peace of mind.
All the on-going anime that I'm watching or am planning to watch include the following:
Black Bullet
Dantalian no Shoka
Date a Live II
Escha & Logy
Isshuukan Friends
Gokukoku no Brynhildr
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
Mekakucity Actors
Nagi no Asukara
Nisekoi
No Game No Life
Of course there's plenty more. I simply listed the ones that I'm watching now along with various other ones that come right to mind when I think about Spring season. Overall I'm enjoying all of them a lot (excluding the fact that I kind of find Mekakucity Actors disappointing).
BUT HERE WE GO. REVIEWS ON ANIME I AM ESPECIALLY ENJOYING THIS SEASON (in alphabetical order).
Black Bullet definitely has an interesting premise. From what I gather, it's about a dystopia Japan where there are giant random mosquito-looking things that terrorize people (called Gastrea). For the first two episodes, it definitely seems interesting and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. It seems like a pretty dark anime at times, but it also contains underlying comedy tones.
Date a Live II
Before you make a lot of hate about how the whole Date a Live series is just a generic harem anime, YES, I AGREE WITH YOU. But that's what makes it fun. Even if the male lead is your typical blue haired kind-hearted yet somewhat useless boy, it's still a very enjoyable anime (for me at least). The girls I find don't stray too far away from the usual harem standard (you've got your main tsundere, a loli, an imouto, a yandere, and then you have Origami (who I will not talk about)).
It is a definitely unique type of anime. This adaption is actually the first from the game series, and to be honest, I was kind of not looking forward to this. BUT OF COURSE THOSE ARE THE ONES WHO SLAP YOU RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE. Nothing special in the first episode (still haven't watched today's episode yet), but it sets itself up nicely for something more. Escha & Logy is about two alchemists (you can probably guess their names) who are part of a bureau sort of thing for their town. What I've gotten from this anime is basically a lot of fun to be had while some hardcore evil dude lies at the end for the two protagonists.
You're a 7 year old (or something) boy who is friends with this mysterious girl who believes in aliens. One day you decide to climb ACROSS A GOD DAMN DAM (haha) and then both of you fall off. Somehow you make it out alive only to find that your friend has died. 10 (or something) years later, you're still thinking about that girl, and now you're looking for aliens to make her dreams come true. Then A GIRL OUT OF NOWHERE TRANSFERS TO YOUR SCHOOL LOOKING EXACTLY LIKE THAT "DEAD" GIRL. Interesting eh? Magic and witches.
Known commonly as Mahouka, this anime is about two siblings who live in a world where magic is the standard for warfare. These two siblings attend a really really really fancy high school for magic, where everybody is apparently better than most, yet there is still division between the worst and best of the best. The whole thing screams INCEST at you, but having watched both seasons of OreImo, I think I can handle a bit more.
Mekakucity Actors
Disappoint. Shaft-head-tilt-disappoint.
Nisekoi
I'm a big fan of harem (doesn't help that a large majority of anime are harem), so of course I would like Nisekoi. While I'm only a few episodes in (and the season is almost over), I can't help but anticipate greatly for the rest of the season. It's actually really interesting for me, as the characters seem to be real and while you may argue that it's just a tsundere and a shy girl, I feel as if they're a bit different from the norm. AND THERE ARE 20 EPISODES TO GUSH OVER.
An anime that centers around NEETs, and not only two random Not-in-Education-Employment-or-Training people, but TWO SIBLINGS. YES. FROM THIS YOU CAN SMELL THE INCEST (and a bit of Pupa, but that was terrible). Two siblings stuck in a random world that has its laws and rules defined by games. Exciting.
That's It
Lights out, have a great Easter weekend. I'm an 8 for today and you'll hear more from me next time.
OH YEAH. OREGAIRU SECOND SEASON. YES.
