With the Summer anime line up close to it’s end, I might as well post about what shows I’m looking forward to and hopefully be able to blog a couple of them.

Togainu no Chi

Out of everything this fall, this is the series I’m looking forward to the most. Togainu no Chi is based off of a boys-love game that has quite a fandom all ready. I found out about the game earlier this summer and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen. I have no idea if they’ll keep all the yaoi that happens, since Akira is pretty much raped by everyone in the game. But it’s A-1, so there’s probably going to be a lot of fanservice most likely. Judging from the promos, it probably won’t. But we’ll allow the anime to be the judge of that. This also has a stellar seiyuu cast as well, and the mass majority of them are from the games as well. I’ll definitely will be blogging this if I have the free time.

Star Driver

I don’t really have much to say about this anime. I mainly just want to watch it because Mamoru Miyano is in it, since he’s my favorite seiyuu and all. It’s a Bones anime, and it’s mecha. Big name people are also responsible for the production, so I may watch it. I’ll blog the first episode of this show, and see how the anime works out afterwords. I’m not a huge fan of mecha anime to begin with.

My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute

At times I get sucked into the moe genre. This series looks absolutely adorable I don’t even. Yuuichi Nakamura and Hanazawa Kana are both in this series. It just looks ridiculously adorable and fff. So cute. I have no idea if I’ll blog the entire series, but I will definitely blog the first episode.

Kuragahime

This year, Brain’s Base has grown to be one of my favorite companies in the anime industry. With Baccano!, Durarara!!, and Kurenai, to be exact. This series is about a jellyfish otaku, and that alone won me. It could be because I’m a fan of sea creatures, but there is also a trap in this series. I have a huge fondness for traps… so this series is going to be worthwhile. I’ll blog the first episode, but we’ll see how that goes.

Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge

I watched the first season this spring and I absolutely loved it! It is probably my favorite out of the spring line-up as well, so I was ecstatic when a second season was announced. I never expected it to air this soon, either. Kamiya Hiroshi returned at Kou as well, so this is going to be one of the best this season! I’m not a fan of SHAFT at all, but this series surprised me in the spring. I can’t wait to see what the second season brings! I’ll definitely will be blogging this, since I’m already love this series, plus, it’s a sequel.

Yosuga no Sora

… images for this series do not exist. I’m not sure how to feel about this series in particular. I have a feeling that it will be like a Key series, so that’s why I want to watch it. Aside from the plot synopsis, I can’t find anything about this series. It sounds like it will be a deep show, which is always good to have. I’ll definitely will blog the first episode.

Pokemon: Best Wishes!

Oh really? Yeah really. I’m really looking forward to the new Pokemon series! I’ll probably only post blogs on important plot related issues like Satoshi winning a gym badge or someone adding a new Pokemon on their team. I’m really interested in this series because Mamoru Miyano is voicing Dento! That’s the main reason why I want to watch the series in Japanese really lmao. I normally just watch the dub version when it airs on TV haha.

I’ve been slightly depressed and had a few technology issues and school started back up again and I’ve been very stressed and busy. Sorry about that run-on sentence.

I… gave up on blogging Kuroshitsuji II and Highschool of the Dead. I’m still watching Kuro, but it’s hard to blog something when you don’t really know what is going on in the series to begin with. It’s just too random and full of mindfuck. HOTD just… got progressively worse and I wasn’t going to deal with it. Sorry. ;;

I will be blogging a few things within the next few weeks, as well as the Autumn anime line-up with what I’ll be watching (hopefully)! Keep posted!

As suspected, the opening did change to fit Sebastian and Ciel in. Claude and Alois, as well as Hannah, made it into the opening as well. We’re definitely not rid of them yet, thank God! Those three are a bit interesting, as well as the triplets. Hopefully they’ll still continue to show up. It also looks like we’ll be seeing more Grell soon as well! Season II may be just what the fans needed after all.

Personally, I liked the original a lot better scene-wise. Beggers can’t be choosers, though.

Opening: “HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD” by Kishida Kyōdan & The Akeboshi Rockets

High School of the Dead is just like any zombie movie known to man. Everyone is turning into zombies, fight and fend to yourself. That’s basically what this is; however, there is ecchi involved. Meaning panty shots, breasts bouncing everywhere, and more panty shots. So this is going to be a pervert’s wet dream since it’s babes killing zombies. That’s probably what it’s going to be for the mass majority of people watching this anime will go for.  Shockingly, there is a romance plot in this gore fest! Protagonist Takashi Komuro (Junichi Suwabe) has been in love with Rei Miyamoto (Marina Inoue) since they were young. They even promised each other they would get married by pinky promising, and that shit is legit. She ends up dating Hisashi Igou (Mamoru Miyano) when they get into high school, making him depressing. On the stairs, he watched his teachers get bitten by someone and runs to Rei’s classroom to get her out (how romantic!). Rei doesn’t want to leave (jerk) and he SLAPS HER ACROSS THE FACE LIKE A BOSS and her boyfriend just watches (best couple ever!). They leave the classroom and get weapons to defend themselves and Rei calls her father because he’s in the police. No answer because the lines are busy! Now they must face these zombies without the help from the police!

Rei ends up in the hands of a zombie and Hisashi saves her and ended up getting a flesh wound. Takashi learned that you can bust their heads and they’ll die (genious!) and starts bashing heads. When they got on the roof top they realized the entire city is in chaos with fires and traffic jams. They notice American self-defense crew flying in so they knew something was seriously wrong. Shortly after that, Hisashi started to die. Just like in the movies, he’ll become a zombie just from the flesh wound. He asks Takashi to kill him before he becomes a zombie and dies. Rei, being the dumbass that she is, won’t let Takashi bash his head because he’s different! Then he turned into a zombie (This girl is insanely stupid.). Takashi bashed his head and Rei is screaming at him going, “You’ve always wanted to do that to him because I was dating him!” (facexpalm) He decided to go bash some heads and she says, “STAY WITH ME!” (headxdesk) So he hugged her and said to himself, “Today I ended up killing my best friend and hugged the person I loved forever for the first time.”

Ending: “Major Doubt!” by Maon Kurosaki

Rest in peace, Hisashi. You’re currently the only character I can stand in this series, even though you dated the dumbest girl I have ever seen in an action series! I’m going to go ahead and continue watching this. The animation is gorgeous and zombies are fun to watch. Plus, this series has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks so we can expect a dubbed version of this series by early 2011.

Out of all the anime for the summer anime line-up, Kuroshitsuji II has been one of the few series I’ve been looking forward too. Those of you that have never heard of Kuroshitsuji, it started out as a manga created by Yana Toboso and later became a franchise in Japan, spawning into the first anime and musicals. The second series, however, doesn’t take part of the manga, but takes place a year or so in the future after where the last anime ended.

To start this off, why not show the opening for this series, Shiver by GazettE:

I’m quite certain a lot of people weren’t expecting the previous butler, Sebastian Michaelis ( Daisuke Ono), to reappear in the new anime. I expected at least a cameo, but no. Instead of that, A-1 decided to troll us all into believing that Alois and Claude were the new master and butler. Of course, the fans raged with it was announced originally that Sebastian and Ciel would not return for the new series in the first place. When Sebastian first showed up at the Trancy Estate, we all noticed that he was carrying a suitcase. When confronted by Claude, he immediately started to defend the suitcase as if something important was in there. Of course something important was in there!  Ciel’s soulless body was in there! PLOT TWIST? Nah, not really. Considering how the first anime made it look like the two had a romance going on or something doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m sure it did to some fans, considering Sebastian wants to devour Ciel’s soul. Perhaps it was so delicious he wanted it again? Obviously I do not remember the first anime well enough considering I hated the ending for it.

After Sebastian leaves the mansion and runs into the forest, we see him put a ring on Ciel’s thumb and he is revived (not shown, but proof resides in the preview for next week.

Honestly, I was really hoping for the series to be based around Claude and Alois, considering this has been what we were told for what, six months? I hope they partake later on in the series. According to 2ch and the Live Journal community, it’s rumored that they will be the villains of the series. It’s plausible, considering Alois ecstatic remark when he saw Ciel and stated that he finally found him. Perhaps we can get a tea party or something?

Alas, regarding Claude and Alois. Claude (Takahiro Sakurai) is a pretty fabulous butler. He tapdanced while performing parkour during the scene where he was setting the table for dinner. That my good sir, is absolutely fabulous. Alois (Nana Mizuki) is quite a jerk, which makes me love his character. First, he unbuttoned his shirt while Claude dressed him and then punished his maid for having looked him in the eye and stabbed her eye out. Quite a bastard, don’t you agree? These two would be fine villains if that rumor was true.

Ending song: Bird by Yuya Matsushita

I’ll continue watching this, despite the fact the first series was a major train wreck, here’s to it being… however it turns out. Bitches should be happy that it’s popular enough for another series to begin with. I missed Ciel and Sebastian, and I don’t read the manga until it’s released over in America to begin with. A-1, DON’T FAIL ME NOW, OKOK?

The preview showed the entire cast at the Phantomhive Estate with a living Ciel, Sebastian punishing the servants, and Ciel’s fiancee. Next Thursday cannot get here fast enough, can it?
