About some time in the middle of my
season overviews if the past is a good indicator I start getting to
some of the really good shows. This is not to say that can't be found
anywhere in the season but usually in the middle you start running
into the shows with a bit for intellectual meat on them. One of the
shows here is certainly fits that bill, another might and the third
is a comedy but at least it is a different sort of comedy than what
we are used to seeing.
Joker Game
In the year 1937 the embers of World
War II are beginning to glow. Japan is working on beefing up their
intelligence capacities and thus has formed the D agency. Lieutenant
Sakuma is a soldier tied to the group who is about to learn about the
world of spies. This show is one that looks like it is going to be
very dark and very intellectual as this show's concept of spies has
far more to do with complex manipulation than James Bond style
antics. Color me interested.
Bungou Stray Dogs
Atsushi is a young man who has just
been kicked out of his orphanage and is now on the side of a river
starving. He runs into a strange man who is looking for a runaway
tiger. This ends up having Atsushi join a supernatural detective
agency. This show is an action mystery type of show with a good dash
of style. I have a feeling that a certain type of fan who isn't too
into moe or typical shonen will really dig this show.
Don't you know I am Sakamoto?
Of all the students in school the
coolest so far is Sakamoto. All the girls in school love him and many
of the boys are jealous of him. However no matter what happens or who
tries to mess with Sakamoto, he is utterly unflappable. I found this
show to be a one joke comedy show. However it is a really good joke
and I wonder just how far this show can go before it gets stale.
