Here is my notice from this week:
Well all of the new shows are coming out, so I thought I would go ahead and have another First Episode Theater this week. The new shows of interest are:
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo - This looks like a real winner. Makes me think of Death Note for some reason. The main character has a special eye that allows him to see ghost and communicate with them. He uses this ability to help the local police track down murderers. I await the next episode with eager anticipation.
Otome Youkai Zakuro – Another winner. It seems that the military and the demons have decided to try working together. They team up three military men with four demon girls (two of the demons are a twin sister team). There is a small problem though. One of the men is scared to death of demons, and his demon partner makes me think of Akane from Ranma. Is there any way this team can work? It is sort of like Host Club meets InuYasha. It’s a keeper
Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai – This translates to “My Little Sister Can`t Be This Cute”. It is another one of those anime that Japan is famous for, totally far fetched, silly, and just plain wrong. I can’t wait till the next episode. I don’t want to spoil it for you by telling you about it.
Iron Man – This one is pretty self explanatory. Based off of Stan Lee’s Marvel Super hero character Iron Man. If you like your Marvel comics, you should like this show.
Bakuman - The main character is a young high school student who likes to draw. His Uncle was a Manga artist who hit it big with one a series that later became an anime. Unfortunately his later works weren’t as successful. Although he would like to become a manga artist the fate of his uncle lies heavy on him. He accidently leaves his sketchbook and notes at school and goes back for them. The school genius is looking through his notebook. The genius tells him he would like to make a manga. He will right it and the artist will draw it. He also informs him that the girl he has a crush on wants to become a VA. Later he confesses to the girl and they agree that if he becomes a successful manga artist, and she becomes a successful VA, they will marry. Twisted story plot, but an interesting show. I like it.
Super Robot Taisen OG: The Inspector - This is a sequel. I have not downloaded the original series, and I am not sure if I will. This is a definite mecha war fighting anime. We can decide if we want to continue with it.
Adult only viewingYosuga no Sora - This one is based off of an ero harem style game. It also includes brother sister love. The overall style is similar to shows like Kanon, Clannad, and Air. Nudity, Adult Themes.
Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls – We saw the Pre-Airing of this episode, but now the unedited version is out. This one made us all think of Toradora, because it uses the same voice cast, and casts them in similar roles. Alternate universe WWII super powered Samurai women, or something like that. Panty, Boing, Brief Nudity, Adult themes.
Sora No Otoshimono Forte - Well the Angels Ikaros and Nymph are back, and it looks like another Angel is going to be joining the party. Get ready for some more crazy and perverted antics in this sequel. Nudity, Adult themes, and humor.
Star Driver Kagayaki no Takuto - This one makes me think of Mia Hime. Students in a school on an island with an underground alien facility with super robots. Brief Nudity.
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt – This one looks like something you would see on CN. Reminds me of PowerPuff Girls or Invader Zim. Of course the subject matter is closer to Ren & Stimpy, or Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Two (fallen) Angels named Panty and Stocking help the Reverend Garter Belt fight against the evil taking over the city so they can earn Heaven Cents. Will the city survive? Adult themes and humor.
MM! – I am not sure about this one. It is a comedy about a schoolboy who is a masochist. Who wants to try to cure himself and confess to the girl he likes. He goes to a school counseling group for help. Unfortunately the leader of the counseling group has heard about him and she decides the best way to cure him is to beat it out of him. Sort of makes me think of Club to Death Angel Dokuro-chan.
Well that’s the start anyway. More may be out by Friday.
I also have a couple of new movies we can watch some time:
Gekijouban Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works – Yeah! The Fate/Stay Night Movie is finally out!
Eiga Layton Kyouju to Eien no Utahime – Based off of the popular Nintendo DS Professor Layton puzzle games, this movie brings the characters of the archeologist Layton and his trusty assistant Luke to the big screen to allow fans to enjoy more of the same.
I hope to see you all this Friday at 7:00PM for another round of fun.
