Getsumen to Heiki Miina Review revisit and Today's New Anime Releases

Getsumen to Heiki Miina is a great fun show. I love the characters and the outlandish style of the superheroes and their transformation. The crazy weapons and aliens are just over the top enough to make it a fun show to watch. If this show took itself to seriously it would not be as fun for sure. But they make no attempt to be serious opting to make you chuckle and the situations while still providing some great action and "fan service" galore. The premise behind some kind of strange bunny super heroes who gain their power by drinking or eating certain fruits and or vegetables and then saying "ju-jitsu" suddenly they transform into super sexy elite super heroines with outlandish weapons often representing the fruit or veggie they ate to transform. Giant carrots batons and rockets or huge cherries of doom. The art style is not kiddie by any means the characters are very well drawn with emphasis on great "boing" physics.

I also have to say I am in love with the OP theme song "light, camera, action!" just can't help rocking out to it. Anyways check it out if you can its sure to be a fun series worth watching more of.

Bokurano Revisit and New Daily Anime Releases

Bokurano is by far the most depressing mecha I know of. Its a show about a group of kids. (the most dysfunctional kids in the world it seems) Who happen upon a cave while at a kind of summer camp. Inside the cave they meet a weird man who asks if they want to play a game. But in order to agree they have to sign a contract. They all agree except one little girl. The little girls older brother who is some kind of nasty bully to her (we find out why in a later episode.) says he doesn't want her to play. After signing they are suddenly taken to a room with a chair in it. The man then proceeds to sit in the chair and fight a giant monster.

After the fight the man disappears and the kids find themselves at the beach. Wondering if what just happened was a dream. Until suddenly another giant monster appears and they have to fight it. Once inside they meet "dung beetle." Probably the creepiest thing I have ever seen in any anime and with an attitude that suits it looks perfectly. He is sadistic and mean almost cruel in fact and he is their guide through this all and he explains that its a kind of lottery each of the kids have a chair that has some meaning to them they will spin around and whomever chair is chosen will hear their name spoken. Which means that they are the pilot that round. They pilot it while sitting in the chair using their mind. However once the first fight is over and they won they die. Of course Mr. Beetle does not tell them this right away and the first boy to pilot appears to be pushed off the side of the robot. Everyone thinks another of the kids pushed him off. But later the truth is revealed. And lets just say that things spiral down from there.

This is definitely not a show for kids. It has very mature theme and is more of a drama than action mecha. There is a lot of conflict and strife that the kids must deal with and inner demons are the subject of the day in most episodes. If chilling drama is you cup of tea then this will satisfy you for sure.

Hitohira Review and New Daily Anime Releases

Hitohira is a fun new show that is very girly. But hey its fun to watch. The story is about a shy timid girl who unexpectedly joins a drama research club. She thought maybe she could work behind the scenes but she comes to find out that the research club is not the same thing as the drama club and that with only a few members she will have to play parts in the plays as well. At this news she has a panic attack and passes out. But her friend encourages her saying it might be good for her. The club is also excited because when she is not being shy and timid this girl can belt out loudly. Enough so to make them go after her as her stage presence would be outstanding. If only they can get her past her shyness.

The series plays out with her ending up in various embarrassing situations and learning to use her presence. All the while a war is being waged between the two clubs the drama club and the drama research club as the school only wants one club. With lots of rivalry and some great fun characters that you can't help but fall in love with. I watch this and I am not ashamed. (though maybe I should be.)

OverDrive Revisit And New Daily Anime Releases

OverDrive although still quite new is slowly building up. I just love the characters in this series. Shinozaki our hero as it were is a kind of nerdy guy who is in love with this beautiful girl in his class Yuki. After asking her one day after school if he could draw her she sees his passion for things and decides he might have something worth exploring. She decides to get him interested in cycling. Using her feminine whiles she convinces him to give it shot. However his confidence is lacking once he gets motivated to do something you can't stop him. His encounters with Yuki are super hilarious. Although he is shy he seems to have no idea how to be tactful when speaking to her. asking her things like riding on a bike together with her in a swimsuit. lol... in one of the later episodes he draws a picture of her for his recruiting posters that is rather... lets say... interesting. While she is not at all flattered he has no tact in dealing with her which leads to some good laughs at his expense.

His fellow bike club guys are some odd characters as well. In the most recent episode he walks in to catch them shaving each others legs... and lets just say he took it the wrong way. Which leads to some great laughs as they get back at him later.

Romeo × Juliet Review and Daily New Anime Releases

Well I finally forced myself to sit down and watch all the episodes to date for Romeo × Juliet and this is not your high school play or is it even remotely close to the original work by Mr. Shakespeare. This is a new slant on the old tale with flying Pegasus, maniacal evil grand dukes and some kind of weird overgrown tree with wings.

The story starts out as the duke of Montague family decides he wants to rule alone and slaughters the Capulet family. However one manages to escape the daughter of the duke, Juliet. Flash forward 14 years and Juliet has become a super hero of sorts dashing around as a kind of robin hood type figure helping to right wrongs of the duke as he tramples his people beneath his feet. One day after helping a girl accused of being a surviving daughter of the Capulets she is is cornered. A young man named Romeo sees the distress and swoops in to rescue her and her maid. However they believe the red whirlwind is a man and everyone calls him Odin. While offering little gratitude for the rescue she runs away.

Odin (Juliet) who lives with William Shakespeare in hiding. Is set for her 16th birthday when she will learn the truth of her family and her birth right and destiny. However unprepared she is for it wont change the fact that it is her destiny even after a chance encounter at the royal ball she mistakenly attends dressed as Juliet instead of a man. She meets Romeo and it is love at first sight for both.

After that first encounter many more follow but once Juliet learns of the truth of her family and Romeo is the son of the duke who slaughtered them can she overcome that and find happiness in love? Watch and find out.

OK so after watching it I have to say it was worth it. I really got into the story although not close to the original it is very engaging and interesting. You get pulled right in. If the title scared you away like it did me don't worry you wont be disappointed.

Seirei no Moribito revisit and Todays New Daily Anime

Seirei no Moribito is turning out to be a great series. While the only group subbing Anime-Kraze has some technical issues with their subs. (They can only play with VLC or else you can't hear the dialog audio.) Their video and sub quality is rather good. So just download VLC and enjoy.

The series follows a warrior woman Balsa who is picked up by the palace guards to meet with the wife of the emperor and asked to take the prince away to safety. As it is believed that he has become possessed and that it would look bad if the pure emperor son has been tainted. and the mother fears that her son is now being targeted for assassination. (which he has been as balsa saved his life at the beginning of the show after his caravan was mysteriously stopped on a bridge and him thrown over board.) Balsa who is on a mission to pay back past debts agrees to take on the mission and steals away with the prince to protect him.

The series picks up pretty quickly as they are now being hunted by the palace private guards. Who manage to injure our heroine but she manages to come back and save the prince. But they have to hide out at some friends place until she can heal. That's when things get strange with odd visitors and help.

This is definitely a thinker show with lots of drama and action and great character development. If your not watching this series you should start you will be smarter for it. Plus you will have some great entertainment.

I won't post the links as the series is already up to number 11 but if you look in past blogs you should be able to find most if not all the links.
