A week of new anime
Apr. 7th, 2012 09:56 pmTried to watch the first episode of Accel World...zzz...dropped.
Zetman 1! Is that Edward Elric I hear?
+ Overall good production
- Speedy intro
+ A true comic-book hero-type anime
Quick impression~ There are artificial beings called Players created by humans for fighting game entertainment. A few of the Players became sentient and turned on the humans. Jin is a young boy living in the slums. Kouga Amagi and his sister are his rich friends that fight for justice. Unfortunately the anime speeeeds through this part. Jin's 'grandfather' is killed by a roge Player, and Jin is taken in by a nice hostess/prostitute. They too, are attacked by a Player. A whole lot of setup takes place in this one episode. It took 12 volumes of manga to get the main characters in place to actually fight Players, so I wonder how much editing the anime will do. The manga was pretty graphic and this first episode does make it more palatable. At least it doesn't have blobs of censoring. Anyway, if you are looking for some action this spring, this would be the anime to watch.
Shiro Kuma Cafe 1~ a dose of cute.
+ Polar bear (Takahiro Sakurai), panda (Fukujun) and penguin (Hiroshi Kamiya) hang out
+ Nice animation production
- Really bad japanese word play
- Not as funny as it tries to be
Quick impression~ Panda's mother pushes her son to get a job. He finds a cafe run by Polar bear. Penguin hangs out at the cafe. Panda eventually gets a parttime job at the zoo as a panda. The wordplay is not that funny despite the fan-fav seiyuu, but the animals are nicely animated. Maybe the kids will like it.
Kimi to Boku 2 1! just a continuation of the prior season. The boys have a sleepover at Kaname's. The dose of cute I was looking for.
Fate/Zero 2 1! The first season's opening was pretty forgettable. This season's opening was typical Kalafina, but the visuals!? Way to spoil the whole show. But they were delicious visuals. And the ending visuals were soo sad; Kiritsugu and Irisviel. The episode picks up right where the last left with Saber and Rider fighting Caster the big squid. Berserker vs. Archer's aerial battle was so fun to watch, too; his vessel was very flamboyantly made. And on top of that there was Tokiomi vs Kariya... Drooling all over this show is very bad...in a gooood way.
Btw, did a domestic company pick up this show for distribution or is the $500 (370 on sale) from Aniplex the only option? ...and you wonder why pirates run rampant.
