UQ Holder! (Series rating: 6/10)

Konoe Touta is your average high school boy. He spends his days dreaming about his teacher, Ms. Yukihime. In reality, Yukihime is Evangeline Athanasia Kitty McDowell, from Negmia. And Touta is a relative of Negi. Yup, it’s a sequel to Negima. Negima had an abrupt ending in the manga, mostly because of executives not minding their own business. So here’s UQ Holder to try and made sense of it all. And does it? Well, no. The anime does not. The manga might, later. The anime does not. At least it’s pretty.

Release The Spyce (Series rating: 7/10)

Minamoto Momo lives a quiet, uneventful life. One day she sees what she wasn’t supposed to see: the secret Tsukikage organization fighting against the minions of Moryo, a group bent on world domination through drugs. It turns out that Momo has what it takes to join the ninjas of Tsukikage, so she becomes their new recruit. By tasting a particular spice, the members of Tsukikage gain superhuman abilities that help them fight to protect the city.
A cute little “spy” show, it’s more of a slice-of-ninja-life then anything action oriented, though it does have some cool action scenes. The gimmick of them getting powers from spices is, sadly, kind of pointless. It doesn’t really matter where they get their powers in my opinion. They could have just as well had nano-machines (son). Still an enjoyable watch. The intermissions are picture dramas. They are not translated though. Long enough to be 2 more episodes, actually. Hope you enjoy.
PS: Next release is UQ Holder.

Space Battleship Yamato 2202 (Series rating: 8/10)

Here's something you did't see coming. Not much to say about this, I have no clever lines about the show, since this is the sequel to 2199. You should watch both. Set three years after the last season (duh... 2202 - 2199 = 3), the Yamato has an ever worse enemy to fight against. So bad that even the former enemies will have to give a hand in saving the universe this time. But it must be done, since it's the will of the Goddess Teresa.Really good stuff. And really good animation. I can't remember if I encoded 2199 though... I'll get back to you on that. Subtitles are by Central Anime, just restyled a little.

B - The Beginning (Series rating: 7/1)

In the archipelagic nation of Cremona, there is a killer that has been eluding the police for a long time: Killer B. Truth be told, he’s not THAT high up the priority list because he only kills other killers. Still, veteran detecive Keith thinks that it’s much too dangerous to leave someone like that free, since he could start killing innocents at any time. Aided (not by his choice) but spunky but clever Lily, he tries to tack down this mysterious killer. Little does he know he’s about to stumble into a plot about cloning, super-humans, an ancient race, and will have to come to terms with the brutal killing of his sister.
A Netfilx original, for REAL this time. That tried to be more then it should have been. It had great animation, but the two stories (hard boiled detective story and sci-fy mutant action) did not mesh very well. Honestly, I enjoyed the detective part way more. The characters make the show. Keith is basically Sherlock Holmes, but more bitter (so basically Cumberbatch Holmes), while Lily was my favorite boll of spunk. While the main character IS Kokuu (the winged boy), he’s kind of boring. Still, I enjoyed the show and it DID get renewed for a second season.
Subs by Netflix, duh. Contains both 5.1 and 2.0 audio.

Hisone & Masotan (Series rating: 8/10)

Amakasu Hisone is an extremely blunt young woman. As such, she’s very quick to offend or upset someone without even meaning to. She doesn’t really know what she wants to do in life, so she joins the Air Self-Defence force. But the plane she is training to pilot is not really a plane. It’s a dragon. And you get in the “pilot seat” by having the dragon swallow you. It will spit you out later.
Okada Mari is back with her own series this time. It’s actually pretty damn well written. The story is pretty original, and I think this is the first vore anime I’ve ever seen. The characters are pretty interesting, Masotan is absolutely adorable and as expected of Okada, there’s plenty of personal drama. Not much angst, which I was happy for. Give it a try. Subs by Asenshi.

Zombie Land SAGA (Series rating: 9/10)

Minamoto Sakura is just a typical high school girl. She has a dream. She wants to be an idol. One day, as she was getting ready for school, she gets hit by Truck-kun. Instead of being transported to another world, she just dies. Or so she thought. She wakes up in a creepy house some time later, where she is attacked by zombies. Turns out she’s a zombie too. Her and six other famous girls were resurrected as zombies in order to create the best idol group in the world.
We’ve had regular idols, we’ve had mecha idols, we’ve had space idols. Not it’s time for dead idols. Follow out seven girls and their insane necromancer of a manager as they try to become famous.
This show was great. Great characters, great humor, Miyano Mamoru hamming it up like pork’s going to be illegal starting the next day, and some REALLY sweet episodes, and you have one of the best idol anime ever made. Seriously, the ending to the Lilly episode made me tear up a little.
