Sakura Trick : Sakura Coloured Beginnings

Episode 1

I have a feeling that this is a bit of a lost cause with me.

It is a romance, slice of life anime. I have nothing against the two genres but usually there has to be comedy to keep me interested. I am a romantic at heart but find myself bored watching romance. Such is the way of life. Anyway, two girls go to school together and their school is going to be shut down in three years so they share a kiss and fall in love.

The premise to me is a bit.... Odd, I don't see the point in sharing a kiss because in three years your school will shut down. Then again I've read some previews before and the series turned out not to be anything like what I read so it could be amazing.

We'll see.

Mahou Sensou : Midsummer Magical Girl

Episode 1

Back to the world of magical girls and fantasy lands. Mahou Sensou is about Takeshi Nanase who suddenly bumps into a magician called Mui Aiba who suddenly turns him into a magician, his peaceful life won't be the same again!

One day I'll get bored of these magic action anime's!

***SPOILER***

Pupa : I wish it was all a dream

Episode 1

A psychological horror about a boy and his sister, when his sister turns into a creature that eats humans he struggles to restore her to the way she is.

I mean that beats the synopsis of half a dozen psychological films in the cinema!

It is only a short anime series so whatever the quality of it, it should be easy to keep up with.

Hoozuki no Reitetsu : Making or Breaking Hell / The Discovery of Hell's Mysteries

Episode 1

A comedy set in Hell. Oh yes that sounds just the ticket! I haven't read much about this other then Hoozuuki (the main character) hobbies include fawning over cute animals and raising Golfish Flowers.

Sounds different I'll give it that!

Wizard Barristers : Benmashi Cecil : Sword and Scales

Case1

After, in a way, suffering through Noragami all day this one seems like a bit of fluff to keep me happy.

Set in Tokyo in 2018 magical and non-magical people coexist and there are strict laws against using magic. Therefore (obviously, I mean even Harry Potter got this bit right!) a magic courtroom exists where Benmashi (wizard barristers) defend magic users.

Sounds alright! Lets give it a twirl.

Noragami : A Housecat, a Stray God, and a Tail

Episode 1

I have to say that this series actually sounds superb too! I honestly can't believe how much I've been saying this lately but really it does.

A bit like Yozakura Quartet in that we are at the boundary between realms and it seems that at this boundary we have Gods and a load of spirits meddling with humans. One human then encounters a God called Crude who doesn't answer people's prayers but he can "cut" all who pass between this world and the next

Whatever that means I don't care because I'm really looking forward to watching and finding out!

Space Dandy : Live with the Flow, Baby

Episode 1

Now I'm expecting loads from this anime, I mean with a name like Space Dandy who isn't? This could be one of the greatest things ever made... It also could be utter bollocks but I like looking on the bright side.

So he's a alien hunter called Dandy looking for aliens no one has found before.

It can't physically go wrong!

Nobunagun : Oda Nobunaga

Gun No. 1

Now this supernatural/action anime caught my eye.

By the sound of it there are a load of agents from some government agency that are called "E-Gene Holders" and they possess weapons infused with the spirits of historical figures.

Now I don't care what anyone says that sound amazing! It has to be really bad for me not to like it, I mean it sounds AWESOME!

Nisekoi : The Promise

Episode 1

So I've had a look at the synopsis for this series and it has me in two minds. It is billed as a comedy/romance and in part it sounds both sweet and funny.

The main character Raku Ichijo had a childhood sweetheart and he gave her a key to a locket he kept. Years later and he's forced into a relationship with a girl who has a mysterious key. Now that sounded really far fetched and terrible... But wait there was more........ Two other girls show up with mysterious keys!

Now this is going to have to do a lot to convince me but it sounds interesting.

****SPOILERS****

Pupipo!

Episode 1

A Supernatural, Slice of Life anime? Sounds good to me!

A girl who can see things others can't and finds a little pink thing that shouts Pupipo! and changes her life. Sounds interesting and cute all at the same time.

Interesting to see where this leads really. Could be a lot of fun!

Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga :

Episode 1

Now this series might give me some problems!

A girl moves in with her step-brother after her mother remarries and is possessed by a spirit that needs to get her step brother to fall in love with her to get closer to the "Gates of Heaven".

For it to work it'll have to relay HEAVILY on the comedy aspect and personally for me it'll have to make me work to love EVERY character. I will keep saying it but I'm very difficult when it comes to romances. I like stories to be fun and engaging but I don't like it when you are just expected to love a couple.

Hopefully I'll find something to love!

Nourin : Chuno Love Story

Episode 1

From reading about this anime I think it is something I will really love UNTIL it either gets really romantic/sleezy or else whether the characters seriously annoy me.

It seems to be about a boy (Hata Kosaku) whose favourite Idol (Kusakabe Yuka) retires, after moping about it his friends finally get him to go to class just to find Yuka has transferred to their school under the name Kinoshita Ringo.

I believe this series could go many different ways, rather excited to see how it plays out!

(Look at that! Proud of me? A proper preview-y type thing. Get used to it. Professional is my middle name!)
