Season preview part 4 everyone rides



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.
