Season Overview Part seven Idolatry

Welcome to the seventh and final installment of this seasons anime overview. While this is a mixed batch like all of the rest of them I found that Nisekoi and wizard barristers could be labeled as a case of saving the best for almost last.

Wake up Girls

In the city of Sendai there is a struggling talent agency who is looking to get out of a rut of bad luck by starting an idol group. This show has a fifty minute short movie that takes place before the television series. This show has a major problem in that it tries to introduce too many characters at once and it doesn't even have the gimmicks that some other idol shows have to help us differentiate the characters.

 

Nisekoi

 

Raku is a high school boy who lives with the local Yakuza. One day a new transfer student named Chitoge appears and Raku and Chitoge quickly get on each others nerves. Then Raku's father arranges to have Raku and Chitoge be in a relationship in order to stop a gang war. Nisekoi is easily one of if not the best romantic comedy of the season. I found Chitoge is one of the better tsundere characters I have seen partially because she plays off of Raku well. By the directing you can easily see that this is a shaft show and Shinbo is the director.

 

Nourin

 

Kousaku is a high school student in an agricultural school who is totally in love with the idol, Yuka. He is devastated when Yuka retires from idol life. Then a day later there is a transfer student named Ringo who is a dead ringer for Yuka. While this seems like a decent show I found the first episode of this show to be a bit of a mystery as we have not been really introduced to Ringo yet. Currently though none of the characters presented so far have much of a personality. 

 

World Conquest

 

Jimon Asuta was just another middle school student until one night he was kicked out of his house on a night where martial law was announced. By strange luck he happened upon a young girl named Kate Hoshimiya and became ensnared into her plot to conquer the world. While Asuta might be technically the main character the show really revolves around Kate and her crazy plot to conquer the world. While her outfit is a bit questionable I found the show doesn't revolve around fan service of her and hope it stays that way.

 

Wizard Barristers

 

Even if there are people that can use magic in the world there still needs to be laws and there needs to be lawyers for people that can use magic then go to trial. Cecil Sudo is a seventeen year old girl from Canada and the newest wizard barrister. I found this show to be something that has great potential to be both an exciting and in depth show but it is still the first episode. At I found the show to be rather pretty looking.
