seichanAh! the fall season when boys go back to school and dream of living in an RPG or being surrounded by girls. Throw in some bromance and yay, I'm there. (Part 2...the not-so-great)
K 1! a show that will be hard to google.
+ Decent production
- but annoying style, blah bluish tint and blurry scenes
+ BL potential is high
Quick impression~ A young man and his gang have a reddish firey power. They fight against a uniformed group who have swords and a water-type power. Cut to a young white-haired young boy and his day at school....snooze for half of an episode. Then the gang comes after him, and then he is saved; and blushes so prettily. Despite the boring episode, it did pick up near the end. The attactive character design will keep many people interested.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 1! Joestar is an awesome name!
- Mediocre production
+/- Comic-book storytelling style
+ Intriguing 1980's vibe...
Quick impression~ A poor boy, Dio Brando, is invited to live with the Joestar family due to a debt. He strives to make Jonathan Joestar (Jojo)'s life miserable while being the perfect person in front of everyone else including Jojo's father; aw, poor dog. There's something entertaining about the dramatic way of the studio decided to animate this story which is probably a bad thing, since it seems like it wants to be a serious drama. Like Zetman, the characters are overzealous in their good and evil personalities. The story is exaggerated by the comic-book like text and stills. While not the smoothest production this season, it's one of the most interesting.
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai 1! same character designers/production team as K'ON and Haruhi.
+ More amusing than expected
Quick impression~ A young boy starts high school with the intention of blending in. A young girl who thinks she is living in a fantasy world tries to draw him back into being a dork. While the geek humor works, I'm not impressed enough to continue to watch.
Shin Sekai Yori 1! Splat, splat!
+ Intriguing opening and beginning to the episode
- 2nd half of the episode falls flat
+ Lovely backgrounds
- Dull character designs with ugly school uniforms
Quick impression~ A young girl develops powers, has her powers suppressed and then enrolls in a school for kids who have powers. There's an undercurrent of a dark mystery and the adults are definitely hiding something from the students. Can't say I really care to see what happens to the young girl. Hope she gets eaten by the evil cat-like monster.
BTOOOM! 1! bu-TOOM...fannypacks! and boobs!
- Boring
- Terribly slow main character
Quick impression~ A young NEET who'd rather play BTOOOM than find a job finds himself stranded on an island a fannypack full of bombs and a gem embeded in his hand; it's real-life BTOOOM. The episode ends with a well-endowed young blond bathing in a stream. I guess they've got their audience now.
