Summer Good Times in 2013
So then after making you guys wait a few days it is time for me to reveal the few series that you should watch during the summer. This time around I have found it very easy to pick the series because there are only a couple where I find myself doing the countdown till the anime comes out. So I did not have to put much thought into this like I have in the past. Which is a good thing, I do like how things work out sometimes. Well either that or my standards are starting to drop with the times.. I am not sure, anyway let us begin.
I guess I will start off with the one that I did not give a fair chance too last season, meaning I did not watch it till the season was almost over, Mushibuguyo. At first glance this anime appears to be fairly generic shounen and well.. overall boring. Which is what steered me away from it originally. However, I guess looks are deceiving as the anime itself is very good. I mean it is not without the fault of being extremely stereotypical. However, unlike many animes that are similar it is actually really good. It has a very interesting story line and world in it. Making it a lot of fun to watch. Plus, even better, so far there have been no-nonsense episodes. Well there was one that was kind of nonsense episode, but it was not that bad. I just wonder when the time traveling swimsuits are going to come out... hopefully never.
Next there is Servant x Service, an anime about revenge. I mean we have the really focused and eager new civil servant who is on a quest to confront the person who approved her ridiculous name. Problem is that she is actually fairly good at her job so she does not seem to have much time to search for this guy. She also has a super power of being oblivious to sexual harassment, I blame her huge tits... according to her an F cup is small. Everyone of the new employees has a super power. One is really smart and lazy, the other is really sweet and can summon old ladies to protect her some how. Either way it is a nice change from all of the high school based animes that are out there.
Next a surprise winner, Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya. This one is an... omake based in the Fate/Stay universe... or whaver Fate universe, I do not know. Where all the characters in it play a different role. The main character of this anime is Illya. Where one day she is just minding her own business when a perverted magic wand decides to make her a magical girl. Now she has to help seal all the class cards. Believe it or not this show is not all novelty. There is something that resembles a story. Plus there is all the obnoxious antics that all the characters have to make their lives.. uhh interesting I guess. Though there are plenty of magical girl clichés as well.
Keeping on the magic girl bandwagon next up is Gen`ei o Kakeru Taiyou. I think what really makes this one good is the fact that it is much darker than you typical magical girl anime. It is set in a world where the girls actually kill people and misery spreads. It is not just a bunch of cute girls dancing around almost naked for our pleasure. Though I will say, the novelty of the dark side is also ruined by magic girl clichés, such as the innocent star who doesn't like hurting anything. However, when there is blood everywhere it is pretty cool.
Gatchaman Crowds is another good one, I like it because of the story really. Plus all the characters do super cool mech transformations. Then there is the whole social networking side of things... thre is a lot going on in this anime. So all I can say is that you jsut need to watch it. Plus I am getting kind of tired of writing. To be honest even after as much of the show as I have seen I do not really know all the rules of the world.
Lets finish things off with Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui!. I think my favorite part about this anime is how much I relate to the main character. To be honest I am not sure if that was the author's intention or not, but it still makes the anime great. Though you do feel really bad for poor Moko, she tries... hard in her mind... but she just cannot get it right. Plus anyone who can fantasize and make themselves black out shows some kind of thing worth watching. I also like the artwork where she has to be cute, but not... I mean they do a really good job at making her cute but not. You just wonder what thing she is going to try next.
So yeah, that sums up the watch list. Plenty to watch this season that is good. Not that there are not other worthy anime out there to watch. I just feels that these are the most worthy ones to watch, in no particular order. To be honest this is shaping up to be a really good season. So please check out everything you can, unless you are some kind of obsessive troll. At which point, it was my evil twin who wrote this review.
