12-sai Chicchana mune no tokimeki: Hanabi is a normal 12 year old girl. She struggles daily with boys flipping skirts, first kisses and the troubles of menstrual cycles. She seems a bit less mature than most others around her and she has a hard time grasping the reality of a 6th grader.
Not really sure about this one. The animation is pretty bad, like Pokemon from the 90's bad. Hanabi is a completely unlikable main character and some of the supporting characters aren't any better. Her 'boyfriend' Takao seem's like some high school senior instead of a 6th grader as well. The series seems to have a hard time trying to figure out what it wants to be, unless its trying to be some sort of anime health class primer for girls. Something tells me my 12 year old daughter wouldn't even want to watch this one. I'd probably be better of watching Kyo no Go no Ni.
Tanaka-kun is Always Listless: High school student Tanaka embodies the ultimate level of slack. He goes through the day being as motionless as possible, even working on improving his physical structure and strength for better slacking abilities. The show explores how the nearly motionless teenager deals with normal every day activities.
There is no point to this show beyond some entertaining slice of life humor. It's grounded in reality more than some of its peers but is no less ridiculous and entertaining. While not continuously funny I had a grin on my face through most of the first episode. This will be fun to watch.
Rin-ne Season 2: The return of Takahashi Rumiko's latest supernatural adventure comedy. The first episode jumps right back into the fray with all of the shinigami antics and just in case you forgot who everyone was in the six month break, all of the main characters are re-introduction.
The first episode of the second season though was a bit of a weak one, which doesn't detract from the series over all. Rin-ne is one of those that will have some bad episodes but the product is over all worth the time if you are a fan of this style of humor.
Flying Witch: Witch in training Kowata Makoto moves from her home in Yokohama to live with distant relatives in Aomori for high school. The somewhat clueless and cheerful Makoto tries her best to integrate to life in northern Japan while she finished schooling and works to become a full fledged magic user.
This is what you get if you mix Minami-ke with Maho Tsukai Tai. The characters are very laid back and chill. Makoto is almost aloof to the reality of her surroundings, frequently being picked on for getting lost. She doesn't grasp the oddity of being able to use magic in normal life and she doesn't understand the confusion of those who are just meeting her. She isn't coy with her abilities either. This looks to be a chill and fun slice of life comedy that has some elements of Makoto being a fish out of water.
Neko Neko Nihonshi: This NHK anime uses cats to tell Japanese history aimed at small children. The first episode of what is possibly the second season of this show, deals with the semi-mythological ruler Himiko and her efforts to quell social unrest, unify her kingdom and ward of foreign attacks. The story doesn't stick with strict historical documentation, instead implementing cat-like problems into the history lesson.
It's cute, its simple and it's pretty light when it comes to history. No one is going to translate it so I will probably not really watch it, but it's fantastic that it exists!
