Fall season overview part eight Gotta try everything

While the post title isn't entirely true I am clearly above two dozen titles tried out for the season and this should be my last post of the season (only eleven weeks until this whole thing starts again) because I need to actually stop watching new shows so I can watch the new shows that I enjoyed watching.

A good librian is a good shepard

is a boy who never really paid attention to school functions but always loved reading more than anything. He gets drawn into some happiness project and it might turn out that he is the school's chosen one. This show feels like your bog standard harem show with a slight library flavoring to it.

Gundam build fighters try

Seven years after the first season the school gunpla club is down to only one member. Cue the mysterious transfer student looks like a dead ringer for Reiji to show up. This show feels as thought it could be a show as good as it's predecessor and even then it was a show that depended heavily on gundam fandom and being ridiculous in a funny or amazing way.

It's got to be twin tails

Soji is a boy loves girls when they wear their hair in twin tails fashion (what we call pig tails in the USA). One day he is approached by a mysterious woman who asks him to become a hero to save the world's twin tails. This show is ridiculous and and a bit fan service oriented but it clearly knows it is being ridiculous. Also the fact that the loli type heroine character is actually a guy makes me smile in an odd way.

Yuki Yuna wa Yuusha

Yuna and her friends are the members of what is known as the hero club. One day they are whisked away to a strange land and are made to fight monsters as magical girls. I can't tell much about this show from the first episode but I liked the visual cues in the show as well as the alternate world which felt kind of like a pastel version of a bones mecha show.

Parasyte the maxim

One night Shinichi is attacked by a creature from space and his hand is infested by an alien parasite. He soon finds out that there are other alien creatures and they are murderous. I found this show was a bit bloody but it didn't feel as gratutous as some other shows. I also like the character of the alien in the main character's hand.
