Fall 2015 season overview part three Warzones are a battlefield

Such a Shiro title and no Fate Stay Night anime to talk about. However things are looking up with three shows that are at least decent although none of them look like they are show of the year material unless they somehow change in the middle but sometimes you just need a cat girl or giant robot more than some introspection on the nature of being.

Asterisk war

A guy named Ayato is looking to see what happened with his sister and goes to a special battle school to find out about her. Magical battles will ensue.

This show feels like it is a somewhat generic light novel adaptation but I would give this show the benefit of the doubt.

Utawarerumono

In the middle of a snowy field a girl named Kuon finds a strange man with no name but eventually calls him Haku.

I was a a fan of the original Utawarerumono  anime show and I am hopeful for this show as well. It doesn't have big signs of being the Romance of the three kingdoms with cat girls and replacement for Arslan but I will give it time.

Comet Lucifer

One day a boy named Sougo fell down a hole and found a strange girl in a crystal and gets involved in some struggle.

This show reminds me of  the mecha shows made by bones (even though this show is made by 8-bit studio) and seems well animated enough even if the doesn't entirely make sense in the first episode. I may continue to watch.

Fall 2015 season overview part 2 There will be blood

Now that I have gotten the chance to watch some more shows I am slightly catching up on the pile of new shows of this season. However with just one exception I haven't seen any good shows yet. I think part of the problem with that short shows have been half of the shows I have seen this season yet few if any of them are created with the promise of being just tolerable. Hopefully this season will be better in the end.

Kagewani

In the world there are monsters that haunt the corners of the world and Sousuke Banba is a scientist who wants the find the truth behind them.

This is a short show and one thing I remember is that short shows do a poor job with horror. The cheap looking animation style is the final nail in the coffin. Dropped.

Lovely Muuko san

Muuko is a lively little dog who lives in the mountains with his owner, a single man who makes glassware for a living.

This show is a short comedy about a dog who talks but acts like almost every dog you know. It's not high art but I believe that this show will be enjoyable to the right audience.

Young Black Jack

In the 1960's there is a young medical student named Hazama Kuro with remarkable talent and a patched body. This show is the beginning of his legend.

Black Jack was one of the more famous works of the foundational manga artist Osamu Tezuka. I am not sure how faithful this show is but I can say that it;s style has been updated to look nice and the show still feels relevant. I will continue to watch this one.

Fall 2015 season overview part 1 Failure of a knight

Hello everyone it's this time of year again when the various anime studios ply us anime fans with a new batch of wares and anime bloggers like me step on a couple of metaphorical land mines of shows so you won't have to watch them yourselves, hopefully. I would have liked to have put this article out earlier but lack on an internet connection has stymied me. Now hopefully I can prevent you from watching Lance and Masques if you haven't seen it yet.

Lance n Masques

Yotaro is a member of the last knightly order in the world, the world knights. One day while wondering the land he save a girl named Makio from falling and becomes her hero.

This looks like a really generic sort of action harem show, except for the fact that all of the characters look like they are twelve years old at most. It's not a show I will be following.

Hackadoll

In the future advanced programs called Hackadolls which are supposed to help people find the information they need. Except for three Hackadolls where are kind of defective and sent to help this one lady.

This is a short show running just under eight minutes. Although that is enough for some clever comedy however this show is lacking in that department. I suggest looking elsewhere.

Chivarly of a Failed knight

Ikki is a magic knight who is known as a failure due to his lack of magic talent. By chance he is the new roommate of princess Stella Vermillion.

This show feels like it is pretty much the same as many other light novel adaptations that take place of the many magic combat schools that litter light novel adaptations. I don't want to trash the genre but I have a strong feeling that this is not the next Fate Zero in the making.
