With pretty much all of the simulcast shows I am watching
coming to an end in the next 2 weeks it’s time to really take a look at what’s
coming up I want to watch in the all important Spring season kick off.
Keroro – Most shows
don’t start until the beginning of April but the flash animated reboot of the
Keroro Gunsou franchise kicked off March 22nd with the first of its
3 minute installments. I like it but I don’t
like it. The series has updated
animation but is crammed into 3 minute bursts instead of having 2 parts spread
over a 20 minute episode. Either way it’s
great to see Keroro return. If only it
found a wider audience in North America.
Mushi-shi Zoku-sho
– This fantastic and ambient series about a wandering spirit master returns almost
9 years after the original broadcast in Japan.
This return to the story was ushered in early January 2014 by an hour
long special. I have seen reports that
it will be split between the spring and the fall, taking a break over the
summer. Can’t wait!!
Isshukan Friends –
This is a slice of life series dealing with a girl who loses her memories every
Monday. This may be a good follow up to
the amnesia driven plot of Golden Time.
Mekaku City Actors
– Not sure of the idea behind the series but it deals with a Hikikomori who is
coxed out of his room for the first time in 2 years.
Mangaka-san to
Assistant-san to – No idea what it about beyond a slice of life story about a
manga-ka and his assistant.
Kokukoku no
Brynhuildr – This deals with a boy who is obsessed with aliens, leading him and
a girl to a serious accident when children.
Now years later he is still obsessed with probing their existence but
his past still haunts him as what appears to be a doppelganger of the girl
arrives.
Black Bullet –
typical sci-fi action series, could either be bad or good…depends on the
animation, level of fanservice and creativity in the story.
Soul Eater Not! –
This is supposed to be a follow up series that parallels the original Soul
Eater dealing with a different group of technicians and weapons to battle
souls. I still need to finish the
original…
Knights of Sidonia
– This looks like the most promising of the mech action shows that are coming
out…seems to be dark and mysterious…time will tell.
