Animes I’m Looking Forward to This Fall

These are some of this falls animes that I’m looking forward to watching in no particular order

Tokyo Ravens

Tokyo_Ravens_Anime-1024x576(Trailer)

In the “Great Disaster,” Japan has been thrown into chaos by onmyouji (a kind of magician). Harutora Tsuchimikado was born into an onmyouji family, but has no power whatsoever. His childhood friend Natsume (another member of the Tsuchimikado family) appears to him one day to take him up the promise he made long ago to become her shikigami (familiar). A battle between onmyouji is about to begin. <soure: ANN>

Where I’m watching it: Funimation airing on Tuesdays

My Thoughts after the first episode: I don’t know if I like it I’ll need to watch a couple more episodes

 

Outbreak Company

Having a light novel author father and an eroge (erotic) illustrator mother, Kanou Shinichi is a thoroughbred otaku. However he does not have any special power except for his broad knowledge, sharp insight, and impeccable instinct about “MOE” and its products, from manga to anime to games to light novel to figures. One day he found himself transported to a fantasy world where elves live and dragons fly. And he is given a task—not to fight monster or embark on a quest, but to enhance cultural exchange by becoming a “moe missionary” in this fantasy world! He meets a palace guard who has a bit of fujoshi taste, a half-elf maid, and the empress who is a little girl. He comes up with the idea of building a school. At first it runs as a comedy but later there are serious matters that Shinichi needs to face: ethnic discrimination, social problems, conflict with neighboring countries, sabotage by opposition elements including Japanese government, etc. Can he overcome the obstacles, successfully bring “moe” culture to the fantasy world, and help the people there as well? <source: My Anime List>

Where I’m watching it: Crunchyroll airing on Saturdays

My Thoughts after the first episode: I can already tell this is going to be one of those animes that points out all the Japanese entertainment tropes. That’s ok. The first episode was pretty funny, I look forward to seeing more.

 

Pokemon Origins

Serving as a more faithful adaptation of the Pokémon Red and Blue games, the story follows a young boy named Red who begins a journey with his Pokémon partner, Charmander, as he seeks to capture all the known Pokémon in the Kanto region and become the Pokémon League Champion. Along the way he comes up against his rival, Blue (“Green” in Japan), various Pokémon Gym Leaders, and the nefarious crime organization, Team Rocket. <source: Wikipedia>

Where I’m watching it: Youtube I couldn’t wait any longer.

My Thoughts after the first episode: This was the Pokemon anime that we always wanted. I watched a fan subtitled version and it wasn’t perfect I did catch some errors. It was totally worth it. I can’t wait for the official version to come out.

 

Beyond the Boundary

One day high-school student Akihito Kanbara instinctively goes to save his fellow schoolmate, Mirai Kuriyama from committing suicide. Annoyed by his attempt, Mirai stabs Akihito from a sword formed out of her own blood and is shocked to discover that Akihito is an immortal “half-youmu”—the offspring of a supernatural creature called a youmu and a human. After learning that Mirai is a Spirit World Warrior and the last surviving member of her spirit hunting clan, their lives become intertwined as Akihito seeks to help Mirai gain the confidence to kill youmu so that she may stop attempting to kill him as practice. <source: Wikipedia>

In the Academy, there is a combat tournament exclusive to the Top 100 students and their automata, to decide who shall be bestowed with the title of “Wiseman”, the greatest puppeteer. <source: ANN>

There she encounters Kojou Akatsuki and learns the true nature of the “fourth true ancestor.” <source: ANN>

Walkure Romanze’s story revolves around Takahiro Mizuno, a student studying at an academy with jousting as its main focus for sport. Takahiro acts as an advisor to the riders of the sport. Takahiro goes through each day tediously until the time of the annual competition draws near. Due to some odd circumstances, his childhood friend Mio Kisaki is enrolled into the competition.

Where I’m Watching it: Crunchyroll airing Sundays

My Thoughts after the  first episode: I didn’t really like the main character Takahiro that much. I did like Mio (I think the subtitle spelled it Miu) though. I liked the medieval vibe of it. I will continue with this one.

Where I’m Watching it: Crunchyroll airing Thursdays

My Thoughts after the first episode: From the description it reminded me a bit of Kick-ass. Well it was almost like Kick-ass in a sense that Masayoshi has the same amount of skill that Kick-ass did and he does indeed get his ass kicked.

The story centers around Kanade Amakusa, a boy cursed with the mental power of “absolute multiple-choice”—a multiple-choice quiz will suddenly appear in his mind, and the choice he makes will become his reality. For example, he would have to choose between going nude from the waist up or the waist down in school. While in school, he is given another choice: 1) A beautiful girl will fall before him or 2) he will fall from the rooftop in female clothes. He chooses option 1, and a blonde girl named Chocolat falls before him.  <source: My Anime List>

Where I’m Watching it: Crunchyroll airing Wednesdays

My thoughts after the first episode: This looks like this is going to be a funny one. I’m not a fan on the art style on it though. I will definitely watch more.

Second season of Freezing.

This all changes when Haruto meets the humanoid weapon Valvrave <source: ANN>

Where I’m Watching it: Crunchyroll airing Fridays

My Thoughts after the first episode: The first episode was just a continuation from where season 1 left off. Nothing was answered in this episode. I am looking forward to more because I do like this space adventure with body-swapping vampires who control giant robots.
