Season preview part 5 for the love of brother

Hello again with the fifteh part of my winter season preview. This time I am taking a look at four shows, two of them being short shows and definitely not everything that aired on Thursday. Honestly trying to do that in one article would be madness.

 

Pupa

 

U and Yume Hasegawa are two normal siblings until Yume encounters some strange things in the park and contracts a disease that makes her eat human flesh. Pupa is a show with a fair amount of dubious hype and it was a bit of a disapointment. It is a four minute long show that is different from other four minute shows by instead of a stand alone joke you just have enough time to watch one or two beings explode into gore.

 

Magical Warfare

 

Takashi was just another average high school student until one day he ran into Miu who looked like just another cute school girl but was in fact a magician. With some contact with magic Takashi and his two friends become magicians as well. As far as the first episode of Magical Warfare goes the first episode doesn't reveal all that much about the show except for it might be kind of average but it will require a couple more episodes to make a more educated opinion of the show.

 

Onee chan ga Kita

 

When his mother remarries Tomoya gains a new older sister Ichika. As it turns out Ichika is totally in love with the idea of having a new younger brother. This show is another four minute short show about a step sibling sort of couple but I found that this is a show about an older sister and an unwilling brother makes it somewhat interesting.

 

Engaged to the Unidentified

 

Kobeni was just another girl who turned sixteen and finds out that she is engaged to a boy from the countryside.Yet she finds that the boy she is engaged to is quiet and reserved and nowhere near as much of a handful as her new stepsister Mashiro. I found this show to be a rather entertaining slice of life comedy which in the first episode is held up mostly by the little sister Mashiro although the other characters are worthwhile as well.
