Spring Season

I needed a break from coding, so below are some quick impressions of shows from the new season in Japan.  More tomorrow.

Anime

Darker Than Black

Hot police chicks. The classic line "Shit, he's a contractor." (I've thought the same thing many times.)  Misuse of Messier numbers. More pupillae reconditus.  Much assorted weirdness.

Possibly too convinced of its own cool... but not necessarily wrong.  One to watch.

Anime

Kami-chama Karin

A magical boy team? A heroine whose transformation phrase is I am God!? Cliche bomb!  And then... not?

I'm going to have to watch the second episode of this one and report back.  Meanwhile: Aieee!  The cute!  It burns!

Anime

Kaze no Stigma

A redheaded girl with a big flame sword fights demon-type beasties.

Okay, it's not that similar.

Points for making the head of the clan not an overbearing asshole, but in fact the sole level-headed character so far. Otherwise unspectacular in both story and art, but at least it moves along fairly quickly.

Anime

Bokurano

Class 1A vs. the volleyball-hearted mecha-lobster of doom.  I doubt I'll bother with episode two.

Anime

Sola

Another town is struck by the dread pupillae reconditus plague.  Pointy chin alert. Digital photography.

I'll give this one another episode or so, but I don't think it's for me.

Anime

El Cazador de la Bruja

Girls with guns.  Guys with guns.  Cats and dogs with guns.  Probably guns with guns.  Spanish architecture* and music, evil corporations, secret projects,  Maxwell's Demon.

Pretty to look at, pretty to listen to.  Could have a winner here.

* I'm guessing the opening episode is set in Arizona or New Mexico.

Anime

Lovely Complex

Russian Caravan with a slice of lemon served in a unglazed earthenware mug.

Or to put it another way, not my cup of tea.

The opening credits are so annoying that I tried to crawl through the wall to escape them, but the show settles down somewhat after that. High-school romantic comedy involving a tall girl, a short boy, and over-the-top animation.

I'll give the creators credit, though: They resolved the first subplot in the first episode, rather than messing about for five or fifteen.

Anime

Sisters of Wellber

Beautiful princesses.  Daring thiefs. Murder. Intrigue. Fairies. Talking tanks.

Some amazingly detailed backgrounds and animation, but also some seriously bland CGI.  A very mixed bag, this one, but another show with potential.
