Rental Magica Review and New Daily Anime Releases

Rental Magica is pretty good better than when I first reviewed it. The characters are flashing out well and the story is starting to take shape. The son of a powerful magic group that rent out their abilities to clean up and fight magic pollution and paranormal incidents has suddenly been thrust into the manager of the group when his father disappears. Although he has no real power or knows anything about magic he has a special eye which grants him the ability to see magic and read it. However his eye has become possessed by a demon and is tearing his body apart from the inside. He is slowly learning to use the eyes power for his own ends and to help his team instead of being a burden to them. His cast is made up of a ghost that they rescue a Celtic mage and a few traditional monks.

There are some great love triangles and sub plots in the series that are very interesting and seem to be maturing rather nicely. I find the main focus of the story to be filler exploring the backgrounds and past of the cast and their motivations for what they do and why they joined the group. But it all seems to be leading up to something much bigger and I can't wait for it. The characters themselves are well done and interesting. And I do enjoy learning about where they came from I just hope it relevant in the long run. But something tells me it's just filler.

Anyways here is today's listing;
Minami-ke: Okawari . 8
Shakugan no Shana II . 19

Thanks and enjoy the shows!!
