Anime 2017 Q2

89 Shows, 47 New

Thanks to AniCharts- They work hard to make DLs even easier. They continue to evolve even though no one asked them to.

I think it would be absolute hell to be an anime reviewer because seriously, 47 new shows and you gotta have an opinion about everyone of them. Aint nobody got time for that.

These usually separate the happy "casual fan" from the ones that truly have no hope

Holy Shit, This is a big week of crap to watch. So lets start, I get most of my info from Anime News Network which is great because they are always on top of things. Their opinions and quality is sometime questionable. Crunchy for easy watching, Nyaa for rare shows, Sankaku for hentai and yesz, Scruffy lived the way scruffy died. It's just the way it is.

-BEYBLADE Burst God Ep1: Why is this show still around! It is the equivalent of a great depression game where you spin a top at the same time someone else spins a top onto a concave surface in an attempt to knock the other player out and the whole thing is meant to be gambled on. Teaching the new age the old ways in the form of tops. Maybe someone spent too much on tops and are trying desperately to justify the old game.
-Puzzle and Dragons X Ep 39: Holy crap this old capcom trivia game is still going. Who keeps this show alive?
-Sentai Heroes Sukiyaki Force Ep 1: The fact that no one has ripped this show and its up to 61 tells me all I need to know.
-Warau Salesman NEW Ep1: I love how engrishy shit like "NEW" pops up in old shows. Not as bad as "BURST" though. Ew. The premise sounds like a horror trope where as the wishmaster has plainly said many times, do you wish it? Being careful what you wish for is boring, The wishgiver Moguro just looks like a creep. It might be good.
- Star Myu 2 Ep1: another show with an all male cast. Might be fujoshi bait or dull animators going through the motions of getting the product out and around. Dudes sing.
- KochinPa! Dainiki Ep 18: Wow I had only seen the first 4 eps of the first season, this short show is hilarious. Clocking in at 15 seconds, Its so short nothing can get done. The chars are chibi and the jokes come lighting fast.
-Frame Arms Girl Ep1: Sounds like a mildly generic Rozen Maiden. Might be a big hit in the garage kit sector.
- Yowamushi Pedal New Generation Ep 13: Second half of the 3rd Season of Yowapeda, the first season didn't have me hooked even though I watched a fair amount of it. It has a Bakuman excited shonen feel to it but it features two very distinct things I do not enjoy, Bikes and then boys.... the female interest was not enough for me to stick around.
-Onihei Ep13: The Edo period is one of the most fun. I've seen read watched and played a ton of media revolving around the Edo period. I have yet to sit and watch this series but I can probably say it's good without having seen the show. One for the backlog
 -Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho Ep 1 A new Light Novel adaptation. These are usually really good or forgettable bad. It's a trend right now to put "RE" at the front of these show titles. Zero is the hope I have for this one, JK.

-Idol Time Pripara Ep 1 Wow episode 1 really. I don't think I have ever witnessed the beginning to any of the Pripara series. How quaint. The main girl starts off in Preparajuku (well right there insta-Japan only)who dreams of being an Idol. those are some heavy dreams for a little kid. She heads to an Idol theme park...... This seems too creepy for me to continue.
-Shounen Ashibe Go! Go1 Goma-chan 2 Ep 1: It straight says it follows the life of the baby spotted seal. don't get better than that for seal fans, SEAL FANS?
 -Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Kinki Kyouten EWp 1: Yes you read that right, it's another light novel featuring miniskirts, crotch straps and those oh so popular snowflaked magic wards that look so great in animation (especially in 3D)
-Cinderella Girls Gekijou Ep1: Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, chibi in a 5-koma. Not sure who it's for? Miura perhaps?
- Sakura Quest Ep 1: Ohh hey an original show. It's so rare now a days to see an original work. Most of what has been coming out has been established or is a frikkin light novel adaptation. 5 girls work in the tourism bureau, could be good.
-Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine Ep1: Based off a manga about four princeses (dudes)and their tutor. -Fukumenkei Noise Ep 1: It's listed as Music Romance. I believe its been done but this is based off a manga.
-Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Li desu ka? Ep 1: "What are you doing at the end? Are you busy? Can you save me?"  Whah WHAT! Another fucking light novel. I swear this is a long title but I have seen longer. Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai or Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru Zoku or Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo?. Guess not. We might have a new winner. 12 episodes might be a god send. Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru is another one. The name length is out of hand.
-Natsume Yuujinchou Roku Ep1: Sixth season of an established Yokai series.
Wed Nes Day/Thurs

                                                              Wednesday

-Battle Spirits Double Drive Ep 53 another Bandai Namco series that doesn't call it quits. it's 8th or 9th season
-Boruto Naruto Next Generations Ep1: Naruto's son Boruto's Adventures. We can all kind of figure that huge shonen series like Naruto is not going away.
-Neko Neko Nihonshi Ep 53: More folktales in the animorph style
-Makeruna!! Aku no Gundan! Ep 1 Short comedy series based on 5 min episodes. It's making fun of evil corps so it might be funny.
-Love Kome We Love Rice Ep1: Thank the gods it said we love rice and not "Love Rice" which sounds sick. The show follows 5 boys as they shine at the harvest show. Sounds like Fujoushi bait to me.
-Busou Shoujou Machiavellianism Ep1: Be glad you didn't have to type "machiavellianism" Women rule and the main character must fight the "Five Ruling Swords" to break free. I guess it could be worse.
-Sagrada Reset Ep 1:Another adaptation of a light novel.
-Kobayashi-San Chi no Maidragon Ep  13: Second half of a well liked series from KyoAni. I have yet to watch the first half, its on Backlog

                                                                 Thursday

-Aikatsu Stars! Hoshi no Tsubasa Ep 1: Bandai Namco and more Aikatsu. It seems to be doing well for them.
-Pokemon Sun & Moon Ep21: More than 1000 episodes at this point, this series needs no introduction. They messed with the formula a bit and took the show in a new direction. Thats not to say anything has changed because it sure hasn't  it's just more angular in it's HD ness.
 - Mim mam Mint Ep 68: What the hell? I want to know more.
-Tsuki Ga Kirei Ep1: The key art looks amazing. Teen Romance

Thurs -Fri
                                                             
                                                     Thursday-Friday 

-Clockwork Planet Ep1: Another Light Novel adaptation, the Key art looks good. Typical story of kid in big world happens apon chance to become bigger than the world. For those not jaded a female robot falls into his lap and gives him a chance to be a hero. Might be good.
-Kyoufu Zombie Neko Ep 80: Another 5 minute series that didn't make it over.
-Kabukibu! Ep 1: Light Novel, all boy cast.... Pass.

-Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai! Ep1: Says its based on a Chinese web comedy manga.That gould go two ways.
-Twin Angel BreakEp1 A new magic girl series.
-Seikaisuru Kado Ep1: Toei Original that doesnt sound so good.
-BERSERK 2 Ep 1 Horrible CGI ver of berserk that carries on after the eclipse in no particular order. -Nobunaga no Shinobi Ise Kanegasaki-hen Ep1 A cute short series about a Shinobi in in the times of Nobunaga.Second series.
-Panpaka Pants O New-san Ep1 The pig who collects underwear season 3. Gotta wonder who this is for?
-Buppu na Mainichi Ep5 Nothing is available here for this one. The story reads a story that focuses on a cat living with ten dogs.
-Shingeki no Bahamut Virgin Soul Ep1 The first series did pretty well here. Virgin Soul sounds like more engrish
-Bonobono 2 Ep 52: Ive got the first series but I haven't given it the time of day.
-Kamizama Wanda Ep51 TMS trying to get on the Youkai Watch bandwagon. Collecting bugs does not go well in the US. We would level the forest and build a mini mall.
-Digimon Universe Appli Monsters Ep27 I was never a fan of digimon but I have played some of the games. I've heard it was good. The designs don't catch my eye. The series does go from blob like creatures to merged behemoths. This new one has a decent style to it.
