Summer 2006 anime reviews:
Honey & Clover 2 (Hachimitsu to Clover II)
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance, Josei
Review: This series continues in the same style and quality
where the very popular first season of Honey and Clover (15.04.2005 till
27.09.2005) left off. It is the funny yet serious and realistic life story
of some friends who graduated from an Art College and are thrown into life.
It is the story of complicated relationships, unrequited loves, new careers
and the search for their own goals, dreams, personalities and things that
are important to them. The realistic, tragic and happy themes are supported
by a very good and fitting background music made by the popular J-Pop band
“Spitz”.
Rating: 10/10
Zero no Tsukaima
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Fantasy, Mahou Shoujo
Review: Louise is the third daughter of the de la Valiel family.
She lives in a world where there are Nobles (people that can use magic)
and Commoners (people that can’t use magic). Even though Louise visits
a fancy magic school, she is known for being unskilled and whenever she
tries to use magic it will end up in an explosion. In the sacred ritual
of summoning a familiar, she summons a Commoner (Hirago Seito, a boy of
the same age) from the “real world” unlike everyone else who summons small
dragons and other animals. Louise has no choice but to accept Seito as
her familiar, while Seito himself do not know what is going on. The rumour
of a Commoner being summoned as a familiar is being spread around the school
and everyone makes fun of Louise for it, but what is that weird mark on
Seito’s hand?
Rating: 9/10
Welcome to the N.H.K.
Genre: Comedy, Parody, Drama
Review: The NHK anime is based on a popular novel and follows
the successful NHK manga release. NHK is a different kind of slice of life
story. It is the story of a hikikomori who locked himself away from society
and rarely ever leaves his apartment. He goes through all kinds of hardships
of geekhood like getting computer game addicted, getting eroge addicted,
getting porn addicted, getting drug addicted, getting fooled into buying
tons of useless merchandise and ending up with a huge dept, getting involved
with a suicide group and so on. But the story is written in a way that
you can still relate to the main-character. But then the beautiful girl
Misaki-chan appears in front of his door and proclaims she will help him
out of his pitiful situation. Who is she? Why does she want to help him?
How does she intend to help him and will she really succeed in helping
him?
Rating: 9/10
Chevalier
Genre: Historical, Fantasy, Action
Review: The story plays in France 18th century. The Chevalier
D`Eon is a special agent working for Louis XIV, fighting against recent
cult activities. Then one day a coffin is floating on the water. There
are weird letters on it and as they open it, they get to see the dead body
of the Chevalier’s sister. He thinks the cult is behind it, but the cult
is actually more powerful than he predicted because they practise necromancy
and can summon golems.
Rating: 8,5/10
Coyote Ragtime Show
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi
Review: Coyote Ragtime Show is a Sci-Fi action-adventure taking
place on the planet Graceland in the far future. There is constant war
and the Earth Federation is planning to destroy this planet within 7 days
in order to prevent war from spreading to other planets. But there are
people like 2 skilled detectives, a high-wanted lawless guy called Mister

Rating: 8/10
Bokura Ga Ita
Genre: Romance, School, Shoujo
Review: Bokura Ga Ita is an enjoyable shoujo romance story taking
place in high school surroundings. Takahashi Nanami just got into high
school and she is looking forward to a happy school life and making lots
of new friends. The other girls tell her about Yano Motoharu, who is popular
with the girls, always class president and seems to be a perfectly successful
niceguy. However, as Nanami has the chance to get to know him personally,
he seems to be like a mean, teasing and careless person. When they both
get elected to be class president and vice-class president, they start
spending more time together and she start to see Motoharu’s kind a caring
side. Is she starting to fall for him? And what kind of sad story is behind
the death of his former girlfriend? Will he be able to fall in love again?
Rating: 9,5/10
Tonagura!
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Ecchi
Review: Tonagura and a funny comedy romance featuring stock
characters we all know, like for example the emotionless small sister,
the perverted guy who has an unexpected kind side to him and the embarrassed
girl who hands out punches for his perverted actions.
When Kazuki finds out that her childhood friends Yuuji and his sister
return to her home town and to being her neighbour again she is really
thrilled and happy, because she always had a crush on him. She is rather
disappointed when she finds out that Kazuki grew up to be a big pervert.
Will it be impossible for her now to continue her love dream from year
ago?
Rating: 7/10
Poor Sisters Story (Binbou Shimai Monogatari)
Genre: Slice of life, Drama
Review: Binbou Shimai Monogatari is a heartwarming story that
revolves around the 2 sisters Kyou (15) and Asu (9). They live on their
own in an old apartment because their father left them and their mother
died from an illness. They live a basic and poor yet happy life and are
very close to each other. Together they overcome all sorts of daily problems,
make new friends and keep trying hard. In my view this show is a bit childish,
but it has those cute and heartwarming aspects, so there might be people
who enjoy this show.
Rating: 4/10
Chocotto Sister
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Review: Haruma Kawagoe wished to have a baby sister so much
and when his mother got pregnant he was very happy. However, his mother
miscarried the child and told him she could never have a child again. Haruma
was very sad and on that night he prayed to god that his mother gets well
again and to Santa to get a little Sister. Years have passed and suddenly
on Christmas Eve a hot chick on a motorbike wearing a Santa costume drives
by and delivers what she claims to be his younger sister. Haruma can’t
believe his eyes.
Rating: 5/10
Noodle Fighter Miki (Muteki Kanban Musume)
Genre: Comedy
Review: Muteki Kanban Musume is the crazy and funny story about
Onimaru Miki who is the daughter of the female owner of a ramen-restaurant.
She works there as a waitress and delivery girl. However, she is very strong
and has a “special” personality, picking fights and competitions with the
locals, easily gets distracted from delivering something and always making
trouble. It is the story about her daily life and her meeting other people
with unique personalities.
Rating: 7,5/10
Innocent Venus
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Mecha
Review: Innocent Venus takes place in an apocalyptic setting
in 2010 AD. Lots of Hyper Hurricanes formed simultaneous across the globe.
Billions of people were killed, counties destroyed and economic and military
balance disrupted. The world map changed dramatically and mankind entered
a new era. A ruling class was established (Logos). Logos are rich and live
in new rebuild district with advanced technology and economy. Outside of
those cities there live poor people (Revenus) in slums under bad conditions.
The gap between rich and poor became larger and there is a war about to
break out between those 2 classes.
Rating: 7/10
Night Head Genesis
Genre: Sci-Fi, Drama
Review: Night Head Genesis is a Sci-Fi drama that takes place
in present time and is about 2 brothers who have been abandoned by society
because they are “different” and have nothing but each other.
The human brain only uses 30% of its capacity. The true potential of
human beings lay within the other 70%. When the 2 brothers Kihiraha Naoto
and Kirihara Naoya were born their parents found out very early that they
are different from other children. They had supernatural telekinesis powers
and often got into conflict in society because of that. When they got a
little older their parent made the decision for them to live in a laboratory
for their own good. Naoto and Naoya felt abandoned by society and by their
parents; they felt as if they had nothing but each other. 15 years have
passed now and they are planning to break out again and live a free life.
Rating: 9/10
Kemonozume
Genre: Action, Fantasy, Romance
Review: In ancient times when the gods still had human forms,
a man kidnapped a woman who was about to be sacrificed to the gods. As
a punishment the gods turned them into evil spirits who can only survive
by eating human flesh. Their descendants even today live quietly among
humans. They are called Shokujinki and have human shape, but turn into
monsters for eating humans. The Kifuuken is a group of beast-hunters and
their goal is to kill all Shokujinki. Toshihiko Momota is a very skilled
swordsman and the son of the organisation’s leader. He falls in love at
first sight with the beautiful girl Yuka, but their relationship turns
out to be very complicated since Yuka is a Shokujinki.
Kemonozume is telling the story of a forbidden love the anime way,
but I do not like the hand-drawn animation quality of this anime. The characters
sometimes look really deformed, especially during fights.
