Spice and Wolf Review - New Daily Anime Releases

Spice and Wolf - if it wasn't such a nicely animated series I would almost expect it to be some kind of educational program about economics. Every episode they go into how economics works and how to use it to get filthy rich. The dialog about this is often nicely placed and relevant its just way to over the top. And distracting from the story. I mean give me a break. The guys is traveling with a wolf god who can take on (cute and fox girl fetish) human form with dog ears and bushy tail. She is the "great and wise Horo" who wishes to travel north to try to find her comrades after the people of the world have begun to no longer worship and rely upon her for harvests. She hooks up with a traveling merchant who just can't help but constantly talk about trade and economics. If not for Horo this show would be absolutely boring. She often lends a light-hearted-ness to the dialog and keep things moving.

I would recommend it for economics students as a interesting way to learn economics as for anime fans it may often be boring and wordy but the characters are developed well and you get a general sense of the relationship blossoming. It interesting at times and boring at others. But who can't help but love the fox ears and tail. If only she was a little more buxom and less loli she would be perfect. (What can I say I dig the ears and tail.)

Anyways here are todays new releases;
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro​ . 10
H20 - Footprints in the Sand . 7
Shigofumi . 6
Hayate no Gotoku! . 42
Hayate no Gotoku! . 43

Persona - Trinity Soul Review and New Daily Anime Releases

Persona, is a fairly new series and I am enjoying it a lot. At its current pace I am guessing it has a fairly long run. The story is about two young boys returning home to live with their older brother who is police chief. Only to find he doesn't want them there and they soon discover why. They discover they have the ability to call out these monsters from inside them. And use them to fight an organization who is trying to steal them from people resulting in some horrible consequences.

It's got good characters and story and I am hoping the pace picks up a bit cause some episodes seem to drag on needlessly. But if other than that it has nice action, characters and story is seemingly intense with some "oh crap!" moments.

Todays dose of daily new releases;
Spice and Wolf . 6

Blue Dragon . 24

Ayakashi Review and New Daily Anime Releases

Ayakashi - This new series is almost identical in concept to Persona which is also out right now. The idea is a group of people have the power to control ayakashi. But in so using them you must pay a price. Usually its through your body. Losing your eyesight, ability to walk or your mind. One boy who lost the love of his life a while ago has a certain power that a group wants to control with the hope of stopping the physical degradation of the host or at least thats what they say.

So far its a very interesting story but it seems to feel rushed and random at times. I often feel like I am missing some part of the plot almost like I missed an episode or two of the story. I am not sure if this is by design or if this is just a crappy writer. But it often leaves me scratching my head. The idea is cool and the ayakashi are awesome and interesting. It is often a very graphic story with lost of death and dismemberment so not for the feint of heart.

I just can't get excited for the main hero. He just seems like an ass to me that I can't just love and root for. He often just randomly gets pissed and suddenly he has super powers from his ayakashi. It seems the ayakashi has influence over his personality and this may be why he drives me nuts. But they could have handled it differently so you have a better idea of who he is VS. his ayakashi's influence. Even with these problems I still enjoy watching the show and hope that things get tied together in the end. Fingers crossed.

Here is the list of daily new releases;
Persona - Trinity Soul . 6
Moegaku*5 . 1
Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino . 5

Ghost Dog Goodness and New Daily Anime Releases

I was just sitting here thinking today how cool this series is. It has some great character development. Deep mystery and exciting action and thrills. And it does it all without going over the top and crazy. It's almost believable.

Where I live there are not many anime fans so I often have nobody to chat with about my new favorite series. So I created this blog to help me reach out to the community and find friends. I download and watch anime pretty much all day everyday. I work from home so I have the luxury of being able to do that. I am pretty excited about this seasons shows rosario + vampire is becoming one of my fav's. It's silly but it is fun. The comedy of it makes me laugh quite a bit so i recommend it. But please note it is a harem anime so lots of ecchi stuff. As a guy I don't mind a healthy dose of fan service every now and then and this show delivers.

I have actually started collecting figures or I should say my wife bought me some. They are kind of cute little statues. I wonder why they don't make more action figure type ones that are posable. I think that would be cool. But the details on them are amazing.

Here is todays listing of new anime - these are new releases so enjoy.
