Spring 2016 Season Overview Part 3 The service is Fantastic

Some people say fan service is destroying the anime industry. I would disagree although there are plenty of shows that try to hide their weakness behind it. However this is not always the case. It is my job as a review to step on those mines for you, the reader. In this batch I ran into one stinker, one boring average show and one that looks pretty interesting.

Hundred

In the future there are huge monsters and the only way to combat them are these special weapons called hundred. Our protagonist is sent to the ship school called little garden to study how to use his weapon. This show is the most blatant rip of of Infinite Stratos I have ever seen in the overcrowded field of magical school anime and that show wasn't all that great to begin with. In all honesty I suggest you avoid this show.

Cerebus

Ten years years ago the evil dragon Zot was almost sealed and now Hiro, the young son of two people who tried to seal the dragon is now on a quest to finish what his parents started. I don't know about this show. It could be okay but just looking from the first episode it is pretty boring and average and it doesn't really tell you all that much.

ReZero

Subaru is a young gamer who has been transported to another fantastical world. The one special twist he as we learn about in the second episode is that when he dies he restarts from the point where he entered the world. After watching the first two episodes released I have the feeling while this might not be some ultimate classic of artsyness I have the feeling that ReZero is a someone intelligent and well put together take on a well worn anime concept.
