2013 spring season
I know, I know. I should have finished winter before starting spring. But I seriously did not have any time before, and figured, to check out the current ones first. But it is still late enough, that most first episodes are already out, so I don't need to guess from just a promo.
Aiura
4 minute episode, where the opening is longer then the actual story. 3 girls in high school and their everyday life where nothing happens... I mean really. A minute goes by where you just see the girl walk though town. And nothing happens!
Aku no Hana
From first episode it's hard to guess what this wants to be. If you don't look at the title, then it's slice of life of the bookish, Kasuga Takao.
I read after it, and it seems due to a mistake he makes (stealing the gym clothes of the girl he has a crush on) Nakamura, a class-mate, who caught him in the act is now blackmailing him into a contract.
Personal opinion: in a drama CD I would probably listen to it just out of curiosity. But with this graphic, no chance.
Arata Kangatari
Hinohara Arata is seriously bullied in school, and wishes to disappear from this world.
In another world, another guy named Arata forced to disguise himself and take the place of the princess candidate until a formal one can be found, he attends the festival only to witness the current princess, Kokuri-hime, murdered. He is now being hunted for the false charge of being the murder. The actual killers are the 12 shinshou, the personal guard of the princess, who have enough of being protectors and want to be the rules.
The two Arata's change bodies, and now Hinohara Arata needs to protect himself from the shinshou. For this he has the power of the sword of the gods.
Now where have I heard this~...? Khm. Blue Seed! And after the quite spoiler-like ending, khm...: Kiba! It is not that these are bad. But I might really have sawn to many animes. Anyway, guys with magical swords sounds fun enough, and I'm curious about the duels they will surely have. So I'll keep on watching.
Area no Kishi - Forward Championship
Actually I had some information that there will be a new season of this, however couldn't find actual new season. So this should have ended this winter. Well, I am no big fan of sports anime, so it is no big loss for me.
Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge
Haimura Kiri, a guy who loves to cut people's hair meets Mushanokouji Iwai, the hair queen, whose hair can not be cut due to a curse. The only thing that can cut Iwai's hair is Crime Edge, Kiri's scissor. This item is part of the killing goods, and their meeting starts an old game to kill the hair queen.
Not sure if I should count this as strange or interesing. It is seriously dancing on the boarder by a hairbreadth.
Date a Live
Itsukai Shidou runs to save his sister, Kotori when a large Spacequake occurs. He meets the non-human Girl, the Sprit Yatogami Tooka but can not chat long, as combat suits girls attack her. Shidou looses consciousness and awakes on a floating ship located above the city. The ship commaner is Shidou's sister, Kotori. He gets to know that when Spirits drop to Earth it ends in a Spacequake, and there are only two ways to stop the Spirit: to kill it or go on a date with the girl.
Reasons why I will def. not watch this:
harem anime, schizophrenic and partly sadistic little sister, pantieshots, girls fighting girls with big mecchas while guy watches on
Devil Survivor 2 the animation
The anime comes from a game of Nintendo with the same title. Story is about a few people who made a pact with he devil to fight the demons that attack humans.
I have no problems with animes that promote some kind of game. And it is partly one of my favourite type: a small group of people handling emergency situations. Summons with CG, but it's not significant.
Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince
Humankind expanded their living space and is on a quest to find further resources. They need to protect themselves from a mysterious lifeform, called Urugaru. This is being handled by a group of 5, who are called the Zannen 5. Though the team is called Zannen, in extreme situations they seem to work well enough.
The battle scenes are nicely done, and there is enough action in the first episode to decide that. Surprisingly well made character presentation too.
However I already sat though lots of mecha animes, and... Okay, that is not the problem. The problem is this one. I HATE this character with passion as he makes me remember his role in Sousei no Aquarion.
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W
New season made, after the first from last spring.
Hataraku Maou-sama!
The demon king Satan is only one step away from conquering the world when he is beaten by Hero Emilia and forced to drift to the other world: modern-day Tokyo, where he needs to make a living as a human.
This one is seriously entertaining.
Hayate no Gotoku! Cuties
New season of Hayate the combat butler. Is this series really so popular?
Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko
Yokodera Youto wants to express his lustful thoughts, but he is to reserved. Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko does not want to display her real intentions so readily. They meet, and pray by the cat statue to make their wishes come true. After rumours if they have something they don't want the cat will take it and give it to someone who needs it.
For both the results are bad - Yokodera is always being hit, and called pervert prince, while Tsukiko can not make any expression at all. They now wish to turn back, but for that they would need the persons who got their abilities.
It is funny, but nothing big. Also I had flashes from Toradora all though the episode.
Jewelpet Happiness
New season again.
There is still more than half left, but I have this one post open for hours now, and seriously need a break. Part 2 will probably come tomorrow.
