As my season overview starts to wind to a close I cover three
shows that have nothing in common. After all there aren't any shows about fives
girls who live with a ghost and fight aliens in a mech, at least this season.
Is the order a rabbit?
This is the story of five girls who run a cafe. Every season
there is usually a show about cute girls doing cute things and this show
follows this criteria. Given the character designs this show is even cuter than
normal and verges on being violently adorable. Only three of the five main
characters have been introduced in the first episode but as slice of life shows
go I don't see this show varying far from what is seen in the first episode.
Nanana's buried treasure
A boy transfers to an island sized school and ends up being
the roommate of a ghost girl. While this show might look like your average
harem show I have found that Nanana's treasure has a promise of having an
energy that many shows of the genre lack. In fact this show may have a
serviceable action or adventure theme to it although I can't really make that
out from the first episode. For instance the protagonist of this show manages
to have more motivation than the usual wet noodle that fills this role.
However it is still a harem type show in the end.
Captain Earth
A young man ends up piloting a giant robot to fight
extra-planetary invaders. I am not the biggest fan of mecha shows and yet I
find this show to be intriguing. I have found that this show feeling quite
original and doesn't look like it is trying to be a copy of another show. On
top of that this show looks quite pretty and hopefully there isn't an animation
quality drop off. The first episode of this show gives out more questions than
answers but I will probably be continuing to watch this.
