Oh the things we cling to in our anime watching. I finally
get some of the shows I was looking forward to and even though I have found
them interesting like I was hoping they would be I wasn’t blown away. This is
partially due to the fact I didn’t too much sleep last night, and partially because
all three of these shows are comedies and I have seen a number of good ones
already in the past week.
The world god only knows Goddesses
Keima Katsuragi has been going about his conquering girls to
release the demons inside of them and so continuing to live another day to play
dating sims for a while now. Yet now his childhood friend has moved next door
to him and she has a goddess living inside her. Overall I can say that this is
generally the show that I have enjoyed for the past two seasons although it is
very clear that this anime is strictly for those people that are already fans
of the franchise as the story actually skips several chapters of the manga.
Stella Women’s Academy, High School Division Class C3
Yura is a shy girl who is also a new student at a prestigious
girl’s school. The school also has a survival games club who like all anime
clubs is kind of short on members. Long story short, they try to get Yura to
join until she reluctantly plays a game and finds is fun. I wasn’t too
impressed with the characters in this show although hopefully they will have
the chance to grow. On the plus side the short action sequence near the end of
the show gives me the impression that this show could work as an action/ sports
type of show with cute girls rather than simply being a slice of life show with
a shallow guns gimmick.
Watamote
Tomoko Kuroki was ridiculously popular in middle school. She
even had a boy talk to her six times. So when she arrives in High school she
going to get her own harem of hot guys. However in reality she is incredibly
unpopular and has difficulty talking to just about anybody. Watamote is a dark
comedy about the life of a lonely girl. Comedy is a genre I have a bit of
trouble recommending as people simply have their own sense of humor but what I
can definitively say about this show is that the type of humor is rather
different from just about anything I have seen before in anime so it is worth
checking out at least.
