As the season overview wears on I start
grouping a bunch of shows in that I think even remotely sort of look
interesting. I can't really think of a theme to this group except for
fantasy but I already used that this season and there are a couple
more fantasy shows that I plan to look at in the next group. It must
be the flavor of the season like the anime equivalent to pumpkin
spice or something. Anyway as for my feelings I think there are two
show I will not be following, a sequel that I probably will and
another show that has caught my interest.
Hi-scool Se ha girls
This is the story of three
anthropomorphic sega game systems who are going to a video game
school. This is a twelve minute long show that revolves around jokes
and references to old sega games. Not to mention the show is entirely
done in CG so this is easily not a show for everyone.
Chaika Avenging battle
It has been a month since Chaika and
her companions had their battle in the floating fortress and they are
continuing to search for the remains of Emperor Gaz. Anyway this is
pretty much the same Chaika that anybody who has watched the first
season has come to know and you should probably know by now if you
want to follow through with a second season before you watch it.
Akatsuki no Yona
Yona is a sixteen year old princess who
has no bigger problems then her unruly hair and who she was going to
marry. However her peaceful life is about to be turned upside down.
This show is a fantasy show with set in an Asian world (it appears to
be a blend of Japanese and Chinese elements) although there aren't
any supernatural elements in the first episode. Many of the
characters that aren't the main character are attractive men so feels
like something in the vein of Fushigi Yugi. It looks like it could be
an interesting show so I will be following it for a few episodes at
least.
Girlfriend Beta
This is the story of several girls in
high school including Kokomi who is in the gymnastics club and spends most
of episode one trying to return a photograph to a french exchange
student. Honestly other than looking at the character designs I have
trouble seeing the point in a show like this as it lacks even the
simple humor that even most slice of life shows usually go for. The
thing is shows of this genre are about a dime a dozen and you will
probably find a few better shows for one's ten cents worth.
