Winter 2007 anime reviews:
Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora
Genre: Mecha, Romance, Shoujo-ai
Review: Shiratori Kuu is a pretty but rather shy high school
girl. She often has the same dream of a beautiful prince asking her to
come along with him. Unexpectedly this prince in fact appears in front
of her as a new transfer student and just like in her dream he asks her
to come along with him. She also meets a mysterious and beautiful girl
with golden hair, who seems to have some connection to that prince. While
Kuu still don’t quite get what’s going on, she gets involved in their battles
and reveals her own special powers.
Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora has many similarities to the Kannazuki no
Miko anime. However, the fighting and mecha animation is much better and
fairly unique compared to other mecha anime shows. Still, some people might
think that a lot of the characters are over-stylized with prince and princess
themes. At this point the plot still has great potential, but might as
well fail for being plain and too cliché.
Rating: 7,5/10
Shuffle! Memories
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Harem, Fantasy
Review: This is the continuation or rather a recap of Shuffle
(08.07.2005 till 06.01.2006). Gods and Demons came to the human world and
started to peacefully live together with humans. We get to see Rin and
all the girls in a new light with lots of new scenes and background information.
Naturally those who liked the Shuffle season 1 will like this series as
well. Since the first season was pretty much concluded I’m not exactly
aware of the reasons why it was decided to make a second season, other
than the first season’s great success, but it’s still a great show I guess.
Rating: 8,5/10
Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!
Genre: School, Comedy, Sci-Fi, Moe
Review: In future Japan birth-rate has dropped rapidly. In addition
to that many children don’t see the point in going to school and just start
working. As a result many schools are being closed due to lack of students.
Amamiya Manabi is a cheerful and energetic girl who just recently transferred
to Seiou High School. She has her own unique straight forward way of doing
things and she is determined to enjoy her school life.
Manabi Straight! is a funny school story with lively, cute and enjoyable
characters, which makes it interesting for all moe-fans. It doesn’t focus
on a solid and developing story, but rather on enjoyable characters and
good comedy (kind of similar to the Azumanga Daioh anime). It’s a fun show
and worth watching for what it is.
Rating: 9/10
Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou
Genre: Action, School, Fantasy, Horror
Review: This anime takes place in current-time Tokyo. However,
this Tokyo is being attacked by grotesque monsters and demons. Hiyu Tatsuma
just recently transferred to Magami Academy and makes contact with different
students possessing mysterious powers. They intend to defend their city
and friends.
The dark and brutal atmosphere same as the interesting powers of the
main characters are the strong points of this anime. Animation quality
and character design are decent. All and all it seems to be an interesting
show for all horror/action fans.
Rating: 9/10
Naruto Shippuuden
Genre: Shounen, Ninja, Action, Comedy
Review: After more than a year of filler stories the Naruto
anime finally returns to follow the original manga story line again and
with that this show also got a fresh new name.
The story is set two and a half years after Sasuke left to seek power
from Orochimaru. Sakura is now training with Tsunade to become a medical
ninja and Naruto is training with Jiraiya so that he will be able to confront
Sasuke, Orochimaru and Akatsuki. Therefore all 3 of them are now training
under one of the Legendary Sannin. Now that Naruto returns to Konoha many
things have changed, but all in all everyone is still the same. Even though
Akatsuki is on the move now, he still does not forget his original goals
to become Honkage and bring back Sasuke.
I gladly admit that Naruto Shippuuden has fully lived up to my high
expectations. Animation quality is fine again and we get to see the dramatic
action adventures that we were used to again.
Rating: 9,5/10
Nodame Cantabile
Genre: Seinen, Comedy, Music
Review: Shinichi is the top piano student at his university
and is popular among the other students. His goal however is to become
a famous conductor. For this goal he’d be better off studying in Europe,
which is impossible for him because of his deeply rooted fears about travelling.
After being constantly annoyed by his teachers and dumped by his girlfriend
he meets Nodame. Nodame is an easy going girl who just happens to have
been living next door all the time. She has the talent to play songs on
her piano after just listening to them once. As Shinichi discovers her
messy apartment and lifestyle he finds himself taking care of her again
and again. Watch them grow as people and musicians.
The awarded manga this anime is based on also had a very successful
TV drama adaptation. Being animated by the same company who was responsible
for Honey&Clover there can be found many similarities in comedy and
characters. You don’t have to be interested in classical music to get interested
in this show. It’s a story of life, love, comedy and dreams.
Rating: 8,5/10
Ikkitousen - Dragon Destiny
Genre: School, Shounen, Material Arts, Ecchi
Review: Dragon Destiny is the continuation of the first Ikkitousen
anime. This time we get to see the further story focusing on different
fighters attending different schools. Be prepared for the next round of
this ecchi action fighting spectacle presented in a better animation quality
and a more mysterious atmosphere. Some people criticize this show for featuring
even more fan-service and ecchi content than the first season, but if you
do not feel offended by it, it’s an enjoyable action show.
