A Quick Look at the Summer 2015 Anime Season

With July almost upon us, here's a super uneducated look at shows that may interest me.

    Charlotte:Yet another story about kids who have special powers and the struggles they face...we'll see.  The concept was written by the guy who wrote the music for Air and Clannad...hmmm...



    Classroom Crisis: Set in the future, humans have moved to other planets.  Essentially a sci-fi school age comedy-ish version of all sorts of other shows.  Original character designs by the guy behind Oreimo.


    Danchigai:Slice of life comedy about a guy and his 4 siblings and their odd ball life.  Could be fun or could be an incest/loli-con nightmare.  Based on a manga of the same name.



    Durarara!! x2 Ten (part 2): The awaited return of the second season of Durarara!!!!


    Gakko Gurashi: Four school girls end up fighting zombies.  Could be really funny or really annoying or both...


    Himoto! Umaru-chan: Comedy about a girl who has diverging personalities in and out of the comfort of her home...kinda like Miyazawa Yukino.  Based on a manga of the same name.



    Kurayama Santa: What appears to be a huge homage to classic 50s and 60s anime.  The series deals with the main character Santa (not Claus) working as a guardian of the gate between hell and the land of the living.



    Sore ga Seiyu: Slice of life, possibly moe, show about 3 voice actors and their quirky silly lives.  If it is half as qood as Shirobako was it could be worth the time.  From the creator of Hayate the Combat Butler.



    Wakako-zake: Slice of life/comedy about a woman who frequents sake bars.  Whats not to love!!  Based on a manga of the same name.



A few possible comedy gems in the bunch, but a pretty slim group to pick from.  Much of the season is made up of continuing series that I'm not watching and horrible otaku anime made by otaku.
