Maaan~ I still can’t get over how weird this season is :P Other than those two dream/fantasy/chaos series that I talked about last time, most of the others are also kinda weird O_O
Fractale: the setting is some rural/RPG-looking setting in the far future, with some sort of Communist “you get a basic income even if you don’t work” kind of society going on …
Hourou Musuko: a series about middle schoolers who like to crossdress O_O and this series doesn’t take the usual comedy-ecchi approach, but instead takes more of a serious, philosophical approach. Which makes it all the more weird =.=”
Rio Rainbow Gate: a series based on a character from Japanese pachinko machines O_O as expected, based mainly on sex appeal and gambling (Rio is a handler at the gambling place, and is apparently some “Goddess of Victory” because people win big when she’s around – but don’t people winning big detract from the gambling place’s profits? No idea why the owner calls her the “best”)
Kore wa Zombie desu ka: umm, the main character is a guy, and he’s a zombie. He looks normal, but he doesn’t die even when hit by a truck, or sliced in half. And by the end of the first episode, he also becomes a *clears throat* “masou-shoujo.” It is obviously a play on the common “mahou shoujo” (magical girl). With the whole transformation scene and the fluffy outfit with all the laces and ribbons. Definitely weird =.=”
Level E: Aliens. O_O It’s really … weird O_O The main character is supposed to be a high school student, but he totally looks 20+. But he makes good tsukkomis. Otherwise, the whole thing is just weird.
Oniichan no Koto: a little sister loves her big brother to the point of being incestrous. She finds out IN THE FIRST EP that she was adopted, and isn’t blood-related to the family. Instead of being depressed or confused (which is NORMAL), she takes joy in the fact that she can legitimately marry her big brother. This is so crazy that I’m not gonna watch it anymore.
Freezing: GORE! If I had to name another series this is similar to, it’d definitely be Claymore. People screaming after losing limbs and being slashed and blood everywhere, and then being able to grow body parts back O_O But almost all the characters are girls =P
Beelzebub: Man I was looking forward to the anime of this series. Then they screwed it up with a ton of American cartoons-style onomatopoeia and backgrounds. Like, y’know, zigzag backgrounds with solid color. A real disappointment.
Dragon Crisis: seems like the only “normal” series this time. Guy finds a mysterious girl (a dragon, apparently) and has to learn to live with her. Yay for normal shounen mystery/romance =D
Again, I can’t fully express how weird I think this season is. It’s like, waaaay~~ out there. It’s gonna be one interesting season alright =P
