Fall Season overview part six Sports and Subs

Fall Season overview part six Sports and Subs

This group of shows that is special in that most of the shows are of the sports genre. Unfortunately with the exception of Yowapedal these shows aren’t all that great.

Ace of Diamond

Eijun was the pitcher on the Akagi middle school baseball team. When he lost the last game by pitching the ball too hard he was angry and when his team was insulted he assaulted the other team. The incident placed his high school career in jeopardy until he was scouted by a famous baseball school. The most noticeable thing that I noticed about this show is how Eijun is a very belligerent person in the vein of Eren in Attack on Titan. However such behavior is a lot more forgivable in a war is hell borderline horror series than your usual high school show about baseball. 

Arpeggio of Blue Steel

Seven years ago the navies of the world were defeated by a strange fleet called the fleet of fog and humanity can now no longer use the seas or communicate with other countries. The only possible hope is one young man who captains a fleet of fog defector submarine. While this is a show with a rather interesting premise I have found the first episode to be lacking in terms of character development although it is not enough to drop the show.

Wanna be the strongest

Sakura Hagiwara is the most popular idol in the group sweet diva. One day she had a job which took her to a pro wrestling ring. After getting her pride beaten badly she vows to become a professional wrestler herself. This show is soft core pornography held up by a weak plot. I remember that youtube videos of trailers for this show ere taken down for explicit content and for good reason. On top of this the protagonist is an idiot. You know when someone pretty much says “How dare you look down on people in my profession, I am going to quit my profession and do what you do instead.” You aren’t dealing with the sharpest knife in the box. So unless you want some cameltoe shots to the sound of erotic moaning I suggest you go elsewhere.

Yowapedal

Sakamichi Onoda is an anime otaku and general 98 pound weakling who is different than others of his kind in that he bikes all the way to Akihabara so he can save money on train fare. Little does he know that his destiny lies in competitive bike riding. I found this to be a somewhat interesting set up for a sports anime show with decent character arcs. I can’t really say too much about this show just yet but I am fairly hopeful for this show.
