It's just like me to post this about a week before the summer anime start releasing. Yup.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like this season has much to offer. But I am very excited for the few anime that caught my eye.
Anime that I talk about in this post:
- Akagami no Shirayukihime
- Gangsta
- Gatchaman Crowds Insight
- God Eater
- Meiji Tokyo Renka
- Hetalia: The World Twinkle: Just 'cause this is Hetalia lol. I did not expect this, but that's probably because I'm not really a hardcore Hetalia fan. This is exciting news though! I might check out a few episodes...
- Durarara x2 Ten: I have yet to watch x2 soo...yeah...*cough*.
- Working!!! S3: I'm really interested in this anime but I have yet to watch the first 2 seasons.
- Charlotte: This is going to be a P.A. Works original work of the season(and if you get to know me, you know I really like P.A. Works). The synopsis didn't really catch my interest and seeing as how Glasslip went(lol no shade), I don't really have high hopes for this show...but I might check the first episode out, I don't know.
- Sinbad: The Flying Princess and the Secret Island: To be animated by Nippon Animation. It looks like it'll be an interesting take on the legend of Sinbad and the Seven Seas.
Akagami no Shirayukihime(Snow White with Red Hair)
Animated By: Bones Genres: Shoujo, Romance, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy Summary: "Shirayuki is notable for her eye-catching red hair, which eventually catches the eye of the prince of her country, and he asks her to marry him. She refuses his offer and escapes to a neighboring country to dodge the soldiers chasing her by the prince's command. There, she meets the prince, Zen, and they quickly hit it off. Shirayuki decides to stay in this country and stay by Zen's side as a court doctor. The two encounter many trials and deal with political troubles, as well as their growing feelings towards each other."
Based off this incredibly cute and beautiful manga by Akizuki Sorata.
Thoughts: I'm just so excited to see this! I know it'll be good since it's Bones(I don't think I see a lot of shoujo from them, if any at all...). Yup...that's pretty much it for me lol. It's just going to be really interesting to see this animated. I hope they don't end it at when the good part is just starting(like with Akatsuki no Yona, which by the way, kind of has a similar feel...not really...the main characters just both have red hair xD).
Gangsta.
Animated By: Manglobe
Genres: Seinen, Action, Drama, Badassery
Episodes: 12
Summary: "Nick and Worick are two men who take on jobs from both the mafia
and the police in the town of Ergastulum, a rotten place filled with
mafia, hoodlums, prostitutes, and dirty cops.(Credit to ANN)"
Thoughts: I've heard really good things about the manga, and the whole story and concept sounds like something I would watch so I'm really looking forward to watching this! It looks like it'll give off a similar feel to Durarara!!/Baccano/Death Parade.
Based of this manga by Kousuke!
Gatchaman Crowds Insight
Genres: Adventure, Sci-Fi, Action, Transformation
Summary: "A year has passed since the "Tachikawa Incident" in summer 2015. CROWDS -- the system that turns the mentality of humans into physical form that Berg Katze gave to Rui Ninomiya after extracting his NOTE -- has spread among the public. Prime Minister Seitarō Sugayama backs the plan, but not everyone agrees with his policy, and a mysterious organization attacks Sugayama's vehicle, marking the start of a series of new conflicts. (Credit to ANN)"
Thoughts: Well, this was not something I was expecting. This is, however, a great surprise! I liked Gatchaman Crowds very much so I'll be looking forward to this sequel. Looking at the key visual, the designs for the new "enemies" look very...unique. The Crowds had definitely looked pretty strange but I'm not sure what to think of these...really patriotic-looking...lizard bunnies? I don't know, but hey, new season means more Hajime and I'm always down for that.
God Eater
Animated By: Ufotable
Genres: Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Supernatural, Futuristic
Summary: "Anime adaptation of Bandai Namco's PSP action game series 'God Eater.'
Set in Japan in the year 2071 where the world has been mostly destroyed by mysterious monsters known as the Aragami. An organization known as Fenrir was made to exterminate Aragami using weapons called God Arcs which is made from the cells of an Aragami. Those who specialize in exterminating Aragami are known as God Eaters. Originally God Eaters had one type in which their God Arcs can only keep gun form or blade form, however a new type has been discovered that can switch between gun and blade form. Since then, they have been classified new-types and the previous as old-types."
Thoughts: This looks like the offspring of Attack on Titan & SAO. There was another anime I was going to compare it to but my mind totally blanked out. I have never heard of this before, and don't know how the game plays out. Since it is a game-to-anime adaptation, the storyline is something to watch out for(to see if it's horrible or actually pretty good). I don't really have high expectations for this as it seems to feature quite a few bodacious, booby-bouncing girls in very little clothing (but media in general is far from getting rid of this sexist stereotype)...but I may be proven wrong as with Shokugeki no Souma(but the ecchi-ness of it is like a satire).
and the only movie on this list...
Meiji Tokyo Renka
Animated By: Studio Deen
Genres: Reverse Harem, Romance, Fantasy
Summary: "On an evening lit by a crimson full moon, an ordinary high school girl named Mei Ayazuki meets a self-proclaimed magician named Charlie at a festival. Through Charlie's magic, she time-travels to the Meiji era in Tokyo, where she meets and falls in love with various great historical figures from that time period.(Credit to ANN)"
Thoughts: I always check out the new reverse harem anime that come out because I love reverse harem and I love discovering good RH anime. Unfortunately, anime that are adapted from an Otome game(basically adating game targeted towards girls) are usually...terrible. I mean, obviously, since it's from a dating game and basically all the guys are pining towards the playable character, as well as her lack of personality(in most cases), that it would not turn out that interesting compared to other anime that focus on characterization and plot. Brothers Conflict, Diabolik Lovers, Amnesia; these are some of the ones I can name off the top of my head that left me disappointed. Well, MTR is a movie so there is less time for the relationships/plot to flesh out compared to a 12 episode series or what-not.
Well that's it for my Summer 2015 Anticipated Anime List! What anime are you looking forward to?
-Have a great day!- J U L I E (ㅇㅅㅇ❀)
