Hmm, I guess what they say about having too much irl is bad for your health is true after all. LOOOOOTS of things have happened recently that I don’t know where to start… or rather, I don’t want to talk about. Anyways, new anime season has started so I’m thinking of giving some of them my opinion just to satisfy my own enjoyment. I will not give you info on the production, the staff, the voice actors or anything though, since you can get them easily on the internet. I will only comment on the story and give my impression after watching the first episodes. The animes I’ve watched for winter 2011 so far are:
Rio – Rainbow Gate
“Big boobs with an unbelievably good luck working at a casino as a dealer, fighting bad dude who tries to steal a teddy bear from a loli. Oh, did I mention she wears a wedding dress on a card game?” is prolly all I can say about this anime. Nothing special. Although I don’t hate the main chara design, which kinda sexy in a way, I can’t find anything else that makes me want to keep watching it.

Infinite Stratos
This season’s mecha show. Started by an aerial battle scene which is pretty decently done if not better. Although there are a lot of things throughout the episode that I already found from other mecha show, I wouldn’t mind having more of them. The main hero, a dude who happens to be the only guy in the world that can use an IS (a human-sized mechanical suit which somehow, responds only to girls), enters a school specialized on teaching how to be IS pilots. Of course, this means a “holy-shit-a-massive-harem-animu-in-an-all-girls-school” situation. Despite having this bliss, he couldn’t stand all the pheromones. So he tried to turn to his childhood friend, which turned out to be his room-mate. Add a little bit of after-bath moment and a “So you’re big enough to wear a bra now?” line to lighten the mood, he’s ready to go… or not. So they skip their first night together and comes the breakfast scene and in-the-class which later he got a challenge from an ojou-sama type classmate on a duel for an inter-class representative.
To be honest, I enjoy this anime and look forward to its second episode next week despite a lot of people says bad things about it. Something about it being un-original.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica
This one is a Hidamari Sketch turned into a magical girl anime.
A little girl meets another girl and a small talking animal in a dream full of unexplainable things. The next day, the girl she met in that dream appears as a transfer student and warn her not to become what she is not. The next thing, she heard voices in her head asking for help which turns out to be the little talking animal who later asks her to make a contract with it and become its partner.
Typical magical girl anime, I would say, aside from the weird monsters and the world they fight in.

Yumekui Merry
Yet another strange one. I don’t understand half of it, actually. Well, maybe it’s because I was watching it half-asleep.
A dude with a strange power of being able to see what kind of color the dream other people will have. His friends are using his ability as some kind of fortune-telling although he only sees black on his own dream. Black means nightmare. And yeah, he’s been having nightmares about being chased by lots of cats that talk. One day, he finds his nightmare has become reality. The boss of the cats tries to use his dream to come to the real world when a mysterious girl saves him. Apparently, the girl is somewhat a being of dream that lost in the real world trying to go back to where she belongs.
I have nothing else to say other than…. Merry is kyuuuutoo~ ❤

Beelzebub
Another one of Shonen Jump manga made it into anime. I really enjoyed the manga, however there are some degrees, if not a lot, of hilariousness lost in the anime version. Though I doubt I would think the same way if I haven’t read the manga. Either way, it was still a good show.
A delinquent so evil that a demon lord’s baby boy who came down to the human world got so attached to him he wouldn’t let go. The baby’s mission on earth is to be powerful enough to eventually, destroy humanity.

Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janaindakara ne
Long title is LONG! lol
This is prolly the second most entertaining anime this season, my version. Simply put: A daily life of a super perverted little sister (and a brother complex at that) trying to seduce her super perverted older brother. The somewhat weird character design came from the original manga.
***************
Kore wa Zombie Desuka
I nominate this to be the most entertaining anime of the season (based on the first episode only, though). I had quite a hard time holding in my laughter so I won’t cause an uproar throughout my house.
Basically: A dead guy raised from the dead by a dandere necromancer who likes tea meets with a chainsaw-carrying masou-shoujo (you heard it right) in a cemetery who fights school uniform-wearing giant bear and later on cuts the boy into half that still manage to give a tsukomi with a rather calm face and somehow steals the masou-shoujo’s power leaving her completely naked and thus kicks the boy in the face over and over and demands him to let her stay in his house while she’s out of power that later on, making the boy able to transform into a masou-shoujo while being completely a boy which he ended up being seen by his schoolmates as a perverted cross-dressing guy.
That sums it up.
Oh, btw… I tried to look up for a “masou-shoujo” reference but I haven’t found anything useful so far. I do, however, found the meaning of the kanji used for the word “masou” (魔装) that means “devil/demon/evil” and “binding/clothed”. So I assume if “mahou-shoujo” means “magical girl”, “masou-shoujo” would probably mean “witch girl” as in the witch that does horrible things. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Level E
This has potential to be a yaoi anime…. 😦
Apparently, there are aliens living among humans that humans know nothing about. One of them has his spaceship crashed, so he freeloads in a baseball-loving schoolboy’s apartment who only just started living alone.

I will Update this list later… maybe.
