Well, you know what time it is... new anime time! Has anyone checked out some of the new series yet? What series are you looking forward to?

I haven't watched many of them yet, but I have checked out three so far...

Shuumatsu no Izetta: I like the setting for this series as it takes place on an alternate Earth during the late 1930s. There's still Germany (called Germania), and there's the equivalent of the Nazi party, but with different symbols (have to be able to air it in Germany!). The story centers around a princess from a fictitious, small European country, which is under threat of siege from Germania. It starts with her traveling to this world's version of England (has a different name) and being chased by Germanian soldiers, but she stumbles across this weird pod with a girl in it. Dun... dun... dun!

Overall, this is one that I'd like to watch more of, but I am a little wary since I'm not 100% sure where it's going to go. But if you check out the cover art, there's a girl riding a sniper rifle like a flying broomstick. So... awesome.

Tiger Mask W: This really isn't one that I was planning on watching, but it was one of the first anime to air for the new season. It's definitely strange as it takes place on our world, but there's this wrestling federation where it seems almost no-holds barred. These two people (one the son of and one a friend of) a pro wrestler watch him get beaten by another wrestler named the Yellow Devil. Essentially, they train separately in different ways to try and get revenge on the Yellow Devil for seriously injuring the wrestler. It's drawn in a rougher style and sort of reminds me of JoJo's.

Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku: I'm not really sure why I watched this one, as it wasn't on my list to watch. I think it's because there wasn't much out yet, but it was surprisingly not too bad. It's a show about this mobile game about mahou shoujo supposedly being able to give people mahou shoujo powers. Well, as you can guess, that happens to the main character. Overall, I thought the art was good, and there were a few amusing moments throughout the show. The first episode doesn't really have any sort of conflict, but the end introduces what will probably serve as the narrative/conflict for the show. I think I'm willing to watch more of this one.

I remember reading the original Tiger Mask manga, almost forty years ago

 

[gorobei]

finally finished up Kuromukuro, surprisingly satisfying.

things i enjoyed: saiki kusou psy nan, morose mononokean, shokugeki soma 2nd.


Izetta seems like the stand out of the new season, lets hope it delivers. bungoku stray dogs s2 and Haikyuu s3 start this week.

 

[Aikouka]

finally finished up Kuromukuro, surprisingly satisfying.

I still need to finish the last few episodes of this one. I think I liked it a bit more in the beginning, and I'm not really sure what changed, but I still like it overall. It's probably one of the better mecha anime that I've seen over the past few years. I think it definitely beats out Aldnoah.Zero.

I actually started watching Macross Frontier a month or so ago, and I was really getting into the show... until it started getting into awful filler content near the middle. I mean... I was staying up late at night watching episodes, but now, I haven't even watched an episode in over a month. I'm currently sitting on episode 15.

shokugeki soma 2nd.

I really didn't care for the second season of Shokugeki no Soma. I think my issue is that almost the entire season was taken up by the Spring Invitational tournament, which was a very stark contrast to the original show, which had a lot of different, varied scenarios/situations. I did think that the show got a bit better when it went into the stagiere, but that was only 3 episodes or so at the end.

bungoku stray dogs s2 and Haikyuu s3 start this week.

Yep, Bungou has already aired and is... "available", and Haikyuu should have already aired.

kuromukuro is somewhat refreshing as mecha series go, in that since it is 3dcg mecha the battle scenes are fairly early into development and the writing is always built around those tentpoles. the climax of the show always knew it was going to be a mecha action centered one. aldanoah zero was ok on mecha but was always going to be a more political character conflict show, all the drama and solutions were going to stem from inaho and slaine's decisions and less about what they did in the kataphrakts.

frontier was/is a standout as it came during a low point in mecha series. it is miles ahead of delta (i can barely get thru delta). the plot of frontier really starts the rollercoaster effect a bit after ep15, so try to power thru. all i will say is that cheryl is decidedly more interesting when you get to her later stages.

shokugeki as a whole is about the stadium battles, so its unlikely to get that much more diverse in the settings. ive been pretty good about not skipping ahead with the manga so i dont know what happens in S3. but it is safe to assume the formula will be mostly about battles for the elite 10 seats. i do miss the nikumi type scenes but obviously they are pushing into the big league players.

haikyuu s3 should cover about 15 ep with the title match, then switch to the tokyo regionals. right now it looks like there may need to be a break for s4 to let the mangaka build up some more material. at his current pace the nationals will likely take another 110 chapters which might give them enough for two or three seasons.

Really?
Kuromukura was really bad imo. Aldnoah.Zero was actually good. The animation was good and the music was good. Apart from that the rest was your average mecha Anime but its defiantly not better than Kuromukura imo.

The review below me summed up pretty much everything lol. Be warned it's very detailed HAHA!


''You know, it's one thing to go into a show expecting something it to be good. It's another thing to go into a P.A. Works show and expecting it to be good. Over the years, P.A. Works have shown us that despite having good animation and interesting ideas, you won't always end up with a good show and meaningful characters. And so, after 15 years of churning out what are mostly original anime (which is honestly quite impressive given how original anime are such a rarity these days), we have Kuromukuro or 'Black Relic', another mistake made by P.A. Works which is another case of "Cool idea, terrible execution."

Story: Shiragane Yukina is your typical high school student with a mother who works in a high tech research facility that produces mechs and studies this giant cube-like object that no one yet understands. Upon what basically equates touching the cube, they find that inside the cube is a man who bears the personality and loyalty of a medieval Japan period samurai who quickly mistakes Yukina for someone else, tells her about the 'demons' that threaten the world, and bring her to co-pilot a giant mech that they call the 'Kuromukuro'. (Hey look, title drop.)

What started out as a mech series with elements of mystery due to the gradual feeding of details and story over the entire 26 episode runtime of the series quickly becomes one of the most boring and poorly written series that P.A. Works has made right up there with Glasslip. The plot of Kuromukuro just has no sense of urgency and as a result, spends most of its time focusing on other ridiculous sideplots than the threat of the world. Rather than saving the world or learning how to pilot the mech, we instead get stuck with a hotsprings episode, the school festival, making a movie, and all sorts of random shenanigans that have little to no place in a story focused on saving the world from the destruction of aliens! It seemed like the show cared more about trying to be a slice of life anime with mecha elements rather than a mecha show with slice of life elements. There's also the whole romantic sideplot between the two main characters which actually doesn't make if any sense when you put it in perspective. The show just kinda threw them together to make the two seem important when in reality, these two characters barely do anything at all. This squandering plagues the entire run of the series and puts it in a place where it has a confused identity, dooming the series with its lack of cohesiveness.

So when you throw away all of the sideplot/slice of life garbage that the show tries to implement, what exactly do you get in the end? The action and mech focus while considered as the main plot of the series doesn't bear fruit in the way you would expect it to. (Plus, it's only like...20% of the entire show.) Very little of the show is truly mechs sword fighting since the majority of this time is devoted to exposition, more exposition, and even more exposition which is kinda weird considering that the aliens or 'Efidolg' as they call themselves have the generic "Take over the world plan" which...doesn't do the show any favors. It's a very overused kind of plotline than when revealed, is kind of depressing to see since you sort of assume that there's something more to it when presented...but no, it's just "Take over stuff. Muahahaha!" It doesn't help that the main characters have plot armor so thick that not even a complete alien takeover where literally everyone, protagonists included, are stuck helpless just waiting to be absorbed into the Efidolg's empire, thus making the entire struggle completely meaningless cause you know they'll never die. Not only that, but the show has a few mystery elements that it tries to shove in there like mysterious disappearances and whatever that when revealed, don't actually have much impact on the story overall. On paper they sounded good, but putting them into practice once again doesn't do any favors because of how unimportant the show made it sound.

Pacing is also a huge leader in Kuromukuro's downfall and possibly why I cracked my table when watching the final episode. The show is never even and it never wants to get to the good stuff or stay at the good stuff. During the random bullsh*t, the show is at its most lethargic, spanning an entire episode or episodes focusing on an event that doesn't have in any way have to do with the main plot, before speeding up like a madman to get through the action/plot-relevant bits so that it can go back to its happy-go-lucky annoyances called side characters. The finale especially is the biggest offender of this because it's by this point in time that P.A. Works realized that they wasted so much time before that they have only ~24 minutes to shove in a timeskip, a reconciliation, more exposition to explain what is going to happen, and a mini fight that scratches more heads than earns smiles because of the quality of its open ending where really nothing gets resolved.

P.A. Works's attempt to celebrate their 15th year anniversary created a mess of a show that focused on the wrong things, had very generic conflict, and a love story that doesn't make sense due to how forced everything was. The end result was a generic mech show that created more problems than it could solve, and a very disappointed reviewer who still prays to see a show as good as Shirobako or characters are good as Charlotte from a P.A. Works show again.

Overview:
- Wasted too much screentime on slice of life
- Main plot was put on the back-burner
- Way too much exposition for a very generic plot
- Horrible pacing issues
- Several mystery parts with drab conclusions
- The most rushed ending I've ever seen

Characters: As a largely story-based show, the characters in Kuromukuro adhere to that by being puppets on the stage to do stuff in reaction to the current problem at hand. As such, characters in Kuromukuro are far from deep with little to no character development for any of them.

Why don't we start with Shiodome Miuna, I mean, Shiragane Yukina. (Sorry, wrong series. They just look so similar.) As the main heroine of this series, Yukina honestly doesn't do anything of value. Her entire character is built around the idea that she's this meek little girl who eventually mans up and pilots the Kuromukuro along with the other main protagonist, but it really doesn't come to fruition. Sure she's less whiny by the end of the series, but the only thing she really does is preach about wanting to save the world from the imminent threat that the show tells us about because "lol, we ran out of screentime". She doesn't do anything of significance since other characters always drag her into things, creating a character that truly has no will of her own with a hint of damsel in distress that overall creates a character that I could give less than two sh*ts about.

Then there's Ouma Tokisada Kennosuke, the 18 year old samurai from medieval Japan encased in a giant cube and preserved until the modern day. You know how it is. He's a dude that holds onto old and tired values that in the modern day, don't really make sense, and is also inept at technology because he never had them and as such is surprised at the thought that you can talk to someone via a tiny box you hold up to your ear. Chivalrous as he may be, that's about all you'll get out of Kennosuke. His character is that of a generic samurai beholden to the master that he serves and destroy all the demons! His values and what he holds dear eventually change as the series goes on, but the whole samurai aspect and samurai code that he lives and breathes is such a central part to his character that that's about the only thing that he has going for him. Take that away and you're left with what equates to an empty husk that doesn't have any real purpose.

And then there's Sophie. Oh Sophie. Why you're quoted as a main character, I don't know. I chose to talk about her specifically because the show makes such a drastic attempt to make her relevant, important, and overall a half-decent character at the start with this underlying hate towards Yukina that I expected to get explained later on, to a half-baked character with a pension for samurai (that never gets explained) who has little to no importance in the grand scheme of things. I think P.A. Works was trying to fulfill a quota by having a little girl pilot a giant robot or something, since Sophie's entire existence is just a way of creating some form of plot progression using her character.

Villains are unsubstantial since they assume that the whole "Sending down one person to deal with the threat" is enough to fulfill the malicious plans that they have in store. They're stupid, none of it really makes any sense, and they're all generic to a fault.

As for side characters, we have the plot related side characters and the slice of life related side characters. To save the worst for last, let's start with the former. Want exposition? The guys working at the facility got ya covered. These guys really have no reason to do anything aside from being either a slight nuisance, or be there to feed information to the audience so we know what the hell is going on. There're also apparently other countries that come in and have their own say/actions in this series, but it's so minuscule and lacking that they might as well have not done it in the first place.

And then there're the slice of life characters. Oh boy, where do I begin? These are if not the most annoying characters in the series. Sad part is? You see them more often than any other member of the supporting cast. The most prominent ones are Yukina's classmates which begs the question of "Why are you friends with these people?" You have Yukina's best friend who's a cosplayer and the supposed 'wingwoman' to the romantic subplot, you have the foreign guy who tries to get people to care about him by silently whining to himself when in reality, no one actually cares about him, the completely unnecessary other dude who adds nothing to the series aside from arrogance and a sad attempt at creating a love triangle that this show CLEARLY needed, and the annoying vlogger character who puts any and everyone in danger just so he can get footage for streams even when his life is on the line because clearly, your footage is more important than the dude's leg tendon that probably got cut when he jumped in and tried to save you from getting killed! (You can probably tell who's my 'favorite'.) The show shoves these nuisances in your face so many times that it downgrades the viewing experience as a whole. They desperately try to get you to care about these horrible people which doesn't turn out very well because they're so unnecessary, the overall quality of the would increase dramatically if they weren't in there.

Overview:
- Lacking main cast
- Generic and uninteresting villains
- Way too many exposition characters
- Terrible people do not a supporting cast make
- F**k you, Jundai. (Hope you get your camera shoved down your throat and choke on it.)

Art: The art is actually really lowbrow for what P.A. works generally produces. While the designs and overall look of the series do seem like a P.A. works show, the quality is severely lacking. Nothing really stands out which is a shame considering the company has Angel Beats, Nagiasu, and Charlotte under its belt, thus leaving me puzzled as to what happened to make this project not be as stellar as some of their previous works since the only word that can be described for it is "average".

Though despite that, the worst offender for this show's artwork are the mechs that the series has. They're produced in CGI and don't really mesh in too well with the series. Most of the action is done via CGI robots as a mecha show might suggest (plus, it's probably cheaper), and all I can say for the overall look of the show is...eh. Average really is the only word that can describe this and that's really a darn shame looking back because I really do like P.A.'s arstyle and quality.

Overview:
+/- Average artstyle
- Mechs don't mesh in too well tot he handdrawn background.

Sound: I don't really care much for these tracks honestly. All of them are pretty generic and not particularly worth the time to listen to, so in essence...skip'em. Not worth the time.

Personal Enjoyment: It's pretty clear from the '2' rating and the rants sprinkled throughout the story and character sections that I LOATHE this show. I've consistently been watching shows made by P.A. Works and I truly believe that the company has imaginative ideas and good enough animation to create something that's good quality overall. But time and time again, I'm reminded that they go the other way instead and end up creating messes that beg the question "How did this show end up this way?" Kuromukuro was a show I went in without many expectations trying to see if P.A. Works would be able to make something half-decent again. The very first episode didn't amuse me and every proceeding episode dragged the show down farther and farther and farther down the dreaded hole of P.A. failures next to Glasslip and Haruchika. I hated watching this show, agonizing week after week until the final episode where the final letdown finally let me be free.

Did I like this show?

F**K NO! The only thing that I could see as an upside to this gargantuan failure of a cohesive story is the fact that they animated a giant stone pillar crashing through a building that was represented as the main office building for P.A. Works. That legitimately made me laugh and was probably a small apology for the amount of f**k ups that they have done.

What didn't I like about this show?

Everything. Like legitimately, everything. Especially you, vlogger boy. You have literally no purpose in this series aside from being a gigantic prick. Like seriously, who thought a completely unlikable character like that would be a good idea?!

Would I recommend this series?

No. I would suggest you avoid this show like the plague. It has really one-dimensional and lacking characters, wastes so much screentime that they're only about 4 proper fights in the entire series (each of which span roughly 3/4 of an episode only), all wrapped up in an incomplete bow where the main plot/threat isn't even solved in the end. Happy 15th anniversary, P.A. Works, see you next year when you inevitably waste another good idea. (Please prove me wrong.) ''

 

[Aikouka]

The bit of slice of life is what I liked about Kuromukuro. I liked that the characters didn't seem like boring, generic mecha anime characters. Albeit, Kenosuke is a bit closer to one with his very stoic, stubborn personality, but I think that's the point.

Anyway, I watched a few more anime from this season, or to be honest, in some cases, I attempted to watch them. With that remark, you know some of these aren't going to have very favorful comments. If you don't see something in particular on this list, I probably just haven't gotten to it yet. There's a lot that I'm planning on checking out, and I'm trying to go in some sort of order so I don't forget a series.

Bloodivores - I'm really not sure what to think about this one so far. The plot doesn't really seem all that interesting at a first glance, but it does leave you wondering what will happen after the first episode. So, that's good at least. Essentially, the show is about a group of people that were affected by a medicine used to treat a nasty virus, but the side-effect is that it turned them into what are essentially vampires, or rather "bloodivores". The show focuses around four bloodivores (one is actually half) and I won't talk too much about the first episode as it does have an interesting turn or two.

Will I continue to watch this one? Mmm... I might give the second episode a try, but it doesn't have a huge pull.

Nanbaka - So, this is one of the ones that isn't going to get a glowing review. Honestly, I turned it off after about halfway through as it was just too boring. I didn't really care for any of the characters, and the stories seemed so lackluster, that I would've expected it to be based off a 4-Koma, but it isn't. If I want a prison comedy, I'd rather just watch Prison School.

Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume - This is probably one that will make you feel a bit awkward at the end. The show is about a ping-pong club, and starts off focusing on the current ace and the existing team before introducing the main character. The main character is a bit stereotypical in that she's boring, apologetic, and such. Well, as you'd expect, the main character ends up being pretty good at ping-pong, but what I was hoping would happen wasn't the case. Anyway, what makes it a bit awkward is that the series loves their sweat more than Tennis no Ouji-sama as the girls will be drenched with sweat after playing for a while. Just mix this with your typical, busty anime girls, and you'll see why it's a bit awkward.

As for what I was expecting...

Spoiler

I expected them to pull a Kuroke no Baske and make the girl be a transfer student from the ridiculously good school that they show at the beginning, but they haven't done that... yet.

Will I watch more of this? Probably not. I'm tempted to see if my hunch in the spoiler is right though.

Time Bokan 24 - I was tempted to turn this off a few times, but I managed to pull through. While I liked the premise of this show, it's just aimed far too much at kids. It reminds me of when I wanted to watch Kaitou Joker, but it seemed far too juvenile. The show is about how the main character gets roped into becoming a Time Bokan agent whose job it is to travel through time and find out the "real history", but the people from the history book writers are trying to stop them... for reasons? (You'd get to write and sell more books if they were changed, so yeah....)

I don't plan on watching more of this show.

Checked wikipedia and it is a remake of the mid 70s show.

It reminded me a lot of that one show that came out a year or two ago that never gained much traction. It was from the opposite side of the original show where the little girl had the two guys as henchmen and she was actually a good guy this time. I kind of feel bad because I meant to watch more of it, but I never finished it.

Although, the show-that-I-can't-remember was far better than what I saw in Time Bokan 24. The one thing that made me cringe about Time Bokan was that one scene reminded me far too much of shitty American cartoons (that garbage you see on Nickelodeon or whatever), but Time Bokan at least had better animation than those.

Checked wikipedia and it is a remake of the mid 70s show.

I haven't watched it but reading the reviews it seems to be really bad lol
