Fall 2014 season overview part six pieces of the past



As the season overview wears on I start grouping a bunch of shows in that I think even remotely sort of look interesting. I can't really think of a theme to this group except for fantasy but I already used that this season and there are a couple more fantasy shows that I plan to look at in the next group. It must be the flavor of the season like the anime equivalent to pumpkin spice or something. Anyway as for my feelings I think there are two show I will not be following, a sequel that I probably will and another show that has caught my interest.

Hi-scool Se ha girls

This is the story of three anthropomorphic sega game systems who are going to a video game school. This is a twelve minute long show that revolves around jokes and references to old sega games. Not to mention the show is entirely done in CG so this is easily not a show for everyone.

Chaika Avenging battle

It has been a month since Chaika and her companions had their battle in the floating fortress and they are continuing to search for the remains of Emperor Gaz. Anyway this is pretty much the same Chaika that anybody who has watched the first season has come to know and you should probably know by now if you want to follow through with a second season before you watch it.

Akatsuki no Yona

Yona is a sixteen year old princess who has no bigger problems then her unruly hair and who she was going to marry. However her peaceful life is about to be turned upside down. This show is a fantasy show with set in an Asian world (it appears to be a blend of Japanese and Chinese elements) although there aren't any supernatural elements in the first episode. Many of the characters that aren't the main character are attractive men so feels like something in the vein of Fushigi Yugi. It looks like it could be an interesting show so I will be following it for a few episodes at least.

Girlfriend Beta


This is the story of several girls in high school including Kokomi who is in the gymnastics club and spends most of episode one trying to return a photograph to a french exchange student. Honestly other than looking at the character designs I have trouble seeing the point in a show like this as it lacks even the simple humor that even most slice of life shows usually go for. The thing is shows of this genre are about a dime a dozen and you will probably find a few better shows for one's ten cents worth.
