At this point I have seen over a dozen shows this season and with this batch there are a couple of hopeful good shows but nothing that blew me away either. Hopefully it isn't show fatigue just yet because I still have the Thursday rush to go through.
Buddy Complex
Aoba
is a fairly normal high school student that is until one day he got
dragged into a giant robot fight between his classmate Hina and someone
who is trying to kill Aoba. To make things even weirder he is dragged
through a time vortex
into some war unknown to Aoba.While there may be some interesting
things in the show's future right now Buddy Complex feels like it is
just another mecha anime show.
The Pilot's Love song
Kal
el Albus is going to pilot school (apparently this Kal el can't fly on
his own, probably no heat vision either) with his sister. There is some
future story with a possible war and class struggles but those will be
further discussed in later episodes. I found this to be a rather good
show that seems to stradle the line between slice of life and drama
(although It will probably get heavier as things go on). I found a lot
of attention was paid to the backgrounds to be a definite plus.
Witchcraft Works
Honaka
Takamiya is a fairly average high school student who seems to be a
frequent proximity to the school idol Kagari, much to the disapproval of
her fan club. One day a school building falls on Honaka and he learns
that Kagari is in fact a witch who has been tasked with protecting him
as her princess.Witchcraft works had the potential to be just another
forgettable magical girlfriend show but the interactions between the two main characters really caught me off guard. I am looking forward to this show.
Hamatora
Nice and Murasaki are two freelance detectives that work out of the cafe nowhere.
Together they solve crimes and use a special power called minimum. To be
honest I found this show was trying way to hard to be cool and ended up
feeling incomprehensible to some extent. This might be just be being
tired when watching but hopefully next episode the director will let up on the confusing directing tricks.
