Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls – Episode 1

From www.Burnah.com

So then. I thought – brand new season of anime, my second season of anime, why not take up more than just one this time. This is why I am now blogging Hyakka Ryoran: Samurai girls (for the guys) and Togainu no Chi (for the girls). It’s the first time I will be blogging anything near Yaoi or BL anime, so this should be a fun season!

Now to actually talk about the anime we are reading for right.

At first glance this was obviously a very good looking anime. The art style and graphics are very nice. Already this was looking like a good choice of an anime to blog. Especially the fact that there’s plenty of ecchi in this, a lot more than my previous blog of High School of the Dead, also the fact they are wearing a lot more provocative clothing.

I’ll first explain what the general story of this anime is. It is in an alternative future the Tokugawa Shogunate never lost its power and Japan maintained its enforced seclusion from the rest of the world. The 25^th shogun assumed the mantle of Japans’ leadership 20 years ago and the student council enforces the suppression of rebellious elements at a giant academy for children of military families based at the foot of Mt Fuji.. that’s what everywhere on the internet says anyway, can’t complain, it DOES sum it up quite well.

Anime Season Autumn/Winter 2010 – My Season Preview

My third season in anime blogging. Still enjoying it and having a lot of fun, so let’s just get right down to business then. One thing to note, I probably won’t blog the first two episodes of everything because of time constraints now that I’m at university again, so maybe the first episode or nothing at all if I don’t like it.

Again, not full list, just what interests me. And as always, thank you for reading.

Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge:

Sequel to Arakawa under the bridge , about a guy named Ichinomiya Kou who lives by a rule of having no debts. But he is saved by a homeless girl who lives under a bridge and so to repay her, he becomes her boyfriend and starts to live with her.

My Thoughts:

One of three sequels that I’m going to be watching this season. Well, it’s quite clear to me that it’s based off a gag manga which means of course not really much of a storyline. That doesn’t bother me too much to watch, it’s a good laugh at times and then a frown at other times. But overall I kinda enjoyed the first season so I’ll keep watching. The romance is still there and is keeping my interested.

Will I blog this series? – Very unlikely

Bakuman:

Mashiro Moritaka and Takagi Akito are two classmates at highschool. One day, talented writer, Takagi sees Mashiro’s manga drawing skills and convinces him to draw manga together. Whilst they each have different reasons to push them on, Takagi wants to be a successful mangaka and Mashiro wants to marry the girl of his dreams, they work brilliantly together and set out to be the best mangaka in Japan.

My Thoughts:

Definitely watching, loved the manga, great story with romance, what more could I want right? Nothing more to say, I just hope they can get a good cast together to fit their voices. It’s done by J.C. Staff so I think they’ll do a fine job.

Will I blog this series? – Almost definitely

Fortune Arterial: Akai Yakusoku:

About a male student named Kouhei Hasekura who is transferred to an English styled school on an island off of Japan. He soon discovers that a student called Erika Sendo whose class is next door, is in fact a type of Vampire.

My Thoughts:

The first series this season that I have absolutely no idea what it’s about apart from a short introduction. Looks interesting I guess, dunno why, but I love the name, that and it’s romance, which dragged me into the anime. To be honest, from the artwork I can tell what type of anime it is, so I’m not expecting much and it’s more than likely I’ll drop it if it gets to things I dislike. But I’ve decided to have a look for now.

Will I blog this series? – Very unlikely

Hakuouki  Hekketsu-Roku:

Sequel to Hakuouki, about a girl named Chizuru Yukimura who’s taken into custody by the Shinsengumi. They find out she’s the daughter of someone that they’re looking for, so they keep her alive and search together with her whilst protecting her and fighting for what they believe in.

My Thoughts:

The second sequel I’m gonna be watching. As I said from season one, I’m definitely looking into this. I’m quite interested in what happens next and I loved the action in it. Here’s hoping for a good sequel and some more bishounen fighting action!

Will I blog this series? – Almost definitely

Otome Youkai Zakuro:

The Japanese Meiji Era, but in an alternate world. Humans and a fox-eared girls live separately, but to promote interracial communications they are put together with a delegation of young human soldiers. How would Zakuro’s strong personality fare against human sensibilities?

My Thoughts:

Is it just me, or does one of the main males look like Usui from Maid-sama? Anyway, this looks kinda cute, it’s also got Mai Nakahara in, that was one incentive to want to watch this. Looks very moe, and rather shoujo as well. Not sure on the storyline as I don’t like army things but this could prove interesting.

Will I blog this series? – Somewhat likely

To Aru Majutsu no Index II:

Sequel to To Aru Majutsu no Index, where science fiction collide with fantasy in an academy city which has its main aim to increase a student’s power. Kamijou Touma is a level 0, or rather, someone with no powers, but his ability is to cancel other powers. One day a ‘sister’ drops in on him, her name is Index, and she’s chased by many people. To protect her, Touma delves into the occult world.

My Thoughts:

The first season has to be one of the most confusing and enjoyable animes I’ve watched. After a first watch through I had absolutely no idea what had happened, but I sorta understood it after a second quick watch through. I did enjoy it, the things that made sense to me were very interesting to watch, and when it didn’t make sense I just enjoyed the science fiction/fantasy fighting action scenes. I’m gonna pay more attention in this second season and hopefully understand it from the beginning.
