Winter 2014



Ok well now I guess I should Start posting about all of this seasons shows.  I'll Start with Log Horizon which was actually a carryover from last season but somehow I forgot about it. Maybe I was hoping it would be a long running series like Naruto? Anyway It just ended and Was it ever amazing! It follows the same sub plot as SAO where people are stuck in a game. however there are allot of differences. One being the game their stuck in was actually a regular MMO like we play today where you just control an avatar with your PC. So they did allot of cool things at the beginning where the characters had to get used to doing all there techniques by instinct instead of filtering through menus.

I'm not going to go into a long boring summery of the whole season I'll just go into what I liked about it.  First of all It did a great job with keeping me interested with more then just battle scenes as we learned about the lore of the world ans well as the NPCs that live on the land.  At first I wasn't really into the show as much as some of my other friends, but when they switched from fighting to espionage and battle strategies I was hooked. There is allot in this Anime for people who are looking for more than just random battles.

Next up Is SAKI, which is actually in its second/ third season. I only say it like that because the second season followed a random group of players as they went through the Mahjong world.  But this season follows the main group again as the make it to Tokyo for the High School team Tournaments.  You know me a sucker for random sports anime, and this is it + cute lolis to look at.  Because it follows the female circuit all the teams are made up of all girl groups from around Japan.  It also makes Mahjong seem like a really fun game to play. I'm sure real people don't have the random powers the girls in this show have, but its still really cool to watch.
As for shows that aired this season I'll start with Wake Up, Girls! or WUG! This is a really great anime made by the same people that did The Idolm@ster. It follows 7 girls as they become Idols in some random small town. Best part the show is based on an actual Idol group with the same name. Now I'm sure the stuff they go through in the anime is not what they went through in real life to become Idols. However the show is good on its own.  It actually started as a Movie that Aired last year and showed the girls getting together. I watched that after seeing the first episode and was pleased with the result. In short its a great music themed anime for people who where fond of the Idolm@ster and Love Live animes.
Not much to say about this next anime Sakura Trick. Its mainly about two girls who go to a school that will be closing in 3 yrs. so there will be no new freshmen after them. So they decide to make their own memories in the school by pretty much making out every where they can, and any chance they get. While its practically just a fan service anime some of the side characters and random running gags are pretty fun.
Another show was Engaged to the Undefined.  Its mainly about a girl who was saved by a boy when she was younger and somehow is now expected to marry him.  The show pics up as they are starting freshman year in high school. This show has allot of really funny characters that I like. While Sakura trick was complete service, this anime had allot more of the other stuff going for it. Specialty the standard loli character was really and got allot of screen time in this anime as she was the main driving force of the engagement. Again really good series and I'd recommend it to anyone.
They last show I watched this season it Recently, my Sister is Unusual. This very fan service heavy anime is about a girl who gets possessed by an angel and is gifted with a chastity belt.  Again not much to say about this anime as its purely service, as the girl and the angel make out allot as well. Again has its funny bits but really just service.

Honorable Mentions:
Now as that was pretty much all I watched this season not including the carryovers I did start a few shows I may go back too after they finish. Those are Zveta, Plot; Wizard Barristers; Super Sonico; Nisekoi; and D-Frag, except I may skip that last one all together. Anyway watch these shows when you got time! Enjoy pyons!
