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;

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro​ Review and New Dailyn Anime Releases

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro​ is a series about a demon who eats mysteries, after eating all the mysteries from the demon world he comes to earth to solve and digest earth's mysteries and he enlists the help of a young girl who's own mystery is haunting her. Her father was brutally murdered in his own house in a locked room. The police claimed it as suicide but the truth is waiting to be found.

The show is great mystery novel fun, try to solve it before he does. Although the writers tend to give too much away too soon. (the show is 30 minutes after all.) But it is enjoyable how he sets them up and unravels things. The idea of a high school detective who seeks out mysteries and solves them and nobody even bats an eye at this cracks me up. It so outlandish and over the top. The criminal turning into some kind of crazed monster once cornered is icing on the cake as if its their true nature. I think the characters are fun to watch and the slap stick humor is pretty darn good and comedic timing is excellent. Over all its a fun show to watch just don't expect a lot of suspense and drama. It's more comedy than horror mystery. But it does get gruesome I mean most mysteries are about murders some more horrific than others but generally the show tends to keep the mood light.

The idea of a demon who eats mysteries is quite unique and interesting and that's pretty much what got me watching in the first place now I stay for the comedy and humor. he is just to funny how he toys with the humans. Good fun to be had for everyone.
