With This Session Of Reviews, I Decided To Try Something Different. After Marathoning About A Dozen Anime In A Week, I Have Decided To Write My Thoughts On Some Of The Better Ones That Stood Out. I Decided To Ditch The 1-10 Scoring For This.
Please Note, Some Of These Reviews Were Written After I Marathoned Multiple Series And I Had To Go Back And Re-watch Some Episodes In Order To Kick-start My Brain Back Into That Anime's Setting.
As Always, Feel Completely Free To Criticize My Reviews. If I Make A Mistake, Or Misinform You, Please Point It Out And I Will Adjust The Review In A Newly Informed Way.
Let's Get Started!
Info: In An Old School With Plenty Of History, The “Paranormal Investigation Club” Tracks Down And Weeds Out The Truth Behind The Ghost Stories And Rumors Of Supernatural Events. Most Of Which Center Around Yuuko-san, A Young Girl Who Died 60 Years Ago And Is Said To Haunt The School Still. Despite The Club President Being The Spirit Of Yuuko-san herself, She Isn’t much Help Since She Has No Memory Of her Past Life Or How She Died. Now She Mostly Spends Her Time Playing Around And Having Fun.
My Review: A Fun Romantic Comedy About “Boy Meets Ghost Girl” And Now They Try To Solve The Mysteries of Her Past. Has Plenty of Fun Moments, Including The First Episode Which Is Very Entertaining, First Following An Investigation From The View Of People Who Can’t See Yuuko-san, Then Following It Again From The Point Of View Of Those Who Can See And Hear Her. It Defiantly Caught My Attention Well For A Starting Episode And Had Me Clearing All 12 Episodes + The Bonus OVA In One Sitting. Music Was Decent To Say The Least. Animation And Art Was Pretty Well Done. Dark And Spooky When Needed While Light And Cheerful When Appropriate.
Info: Takes Place In An Alternate Japan Where Top Schools Are Built Upon Massive Ships And Schools Include An Optional “Sensha-do” Or “Tankery” Class Where School Girls Learn To Pilot, Run, Maintain, And Fight Mock Battles In Tanks. Miho Nishizumi Comes From A Family Well Known And Renowned For Their Skill In This Sport, However She Chose Her New School To Avoid it. What Will Happen When She’s Suddenly Thrust Into Joining The Newly Formed Club Again?
My Review: This Show Caught My Eyes When I Saw Pictures of How Very Detailed The Tanks Used In The Show Are. When Going Through Middle And Early High School, I Admit I Had A Thing For Studying Tanks (Specially The American M1A2 Abrams “Supertank”). They Go Into Such Great Detail In Creating And Animating These True World Historic Tanks Of The World. They Describe Tactics, Details Of Piloting As A Group, And Some Of The Strong And Weak Points Of Each Model. So, While The Show Can Be Mostly Cute And Girly, It Has A lot Of Facts Based In Truth Of Tanks. Simply, If You Overlook The Overly Cutesy And Ecchi Characters And Story, Then The Attention To Detail With The Tankery Sport Might Get You. I Had A Small Nerdgasm When I Saw The Type 10 Main Battle Tank That Their Instructor Pilots.
Info: Mystery And Struggle Surround Five First Year Students When They Form The “Student Cultural Society”, Mostly Because The School Requires A Club Activity And None Of Them Have Anywhere Else To Go. They Quickly Become Friends And Start Their Lives At School, But That Is Not What This Story is About. Not Long After They Start School, Strange Things Start Happening. Starting When Two Of The Members Tell Them how They Somehow Switched Bodies?
My Review: This One Was Interesting To Say The Least. It had Supernatural Occurrences Mixed With True To Life Drama And Hardships. At Any Point The Mysterious Happenings Could Hit A Weak Spot And Break Any One Of Them, And Just When They Think They've Gotten The Hang of It, Things Switch up Again. Each One Has Their Own Heavy Issues And Troubles, Yet Somehow They Manage To Throw In A Few Fun Moments Too. It Isn't Too Much Of A Stretch To Think Things Could Turn out The Way they Do in This Show Had They Happened To Someone In Real Life.
Info: When Mikoto Transferred Into Class, She Was Almost Immediately Label A Weirdo. Between Sleeping Most Of The Day With Her Face Plant Firmly Against Her Desk, Among Other Things, She Defiantly Earned Her Title. However, You Could Say The Same About Akira, Who, After Waking Her Up From Her Sleep After Class, Decided On A Sudden Urge To Taste Some Of The Drool She Left Behind On Her Desk. Now, For Whatever Reason, Akira And Mikoto Share A Strong Bond, Connected Through Their Drool?
My Review: Okay, Yes, I Know Exactly How Strange This Show Sounds, And To be Honest, It Get Stranger. I Thought For SURE This Show Would Take The Turn Of Mikoto Being A Strange Space Alien Of Weird Drool Monster Girl But No. She’s Just Really Strange. However, I Have To Admit This Story Can Be Very Cute And Romantic In Its Own Way. Despite Her Unruly Hair Covering her Eyes, Her Strangely Wise Insight into Their Drool Connection, And Tendency To Cut Up Anything In Front Of Her like A Ninja With Scissors She Keeps Tucked Away In Her Panties (Of All Places) When She’s Startled, I Have To Say Mikoto Is Very Cute And Adorable In Her Own Special Way. The Art Style Of This Show Is Pleasant To look At, Reminding Me Of Art Styles Used In Anime back in The Late 90s While Still Having The Fine Clarity Of Modern HD Animation.
Info: Yuki Is A Bit Of An Awkward Kid. Whenever He is backed Into A Corner Or Too Much Attention is Placed On Him, He Tends To Panic And Freak Out. Haru Is A Hyperactive, Bubbly, Colorful, Naive Alien Sent To Earth To Reclaim One Of His People From Wreaking Havoc. When They Transfer into The Same School, Yuki, Of course, Catches The Eye of Haru, Who Makes No Attempt To Hide The Fact That He’s An Alien. So When Haru Pressures Yuki Into learning To Fish In Order To Help Him, Its No Surprise Yuki Has A Rough Time Getting Along With Him.
My Review: The Anime Defiantly Has Some Very Impressive Art And Animation. The Quality And Style Is Like something I Would Expect From A Feature Length Movie. You Can Tell How Much Time Went Into Each Part. The Detail, The Fluid Motions, The Colorful Scenes, All Would Place It Up With Movies Like “Summer Wars” For It’s Art Design. The Show Is Meant To Be A Lighthearted Comedy And Fairytale About Aliens, And It’s Defiantly Done A Good Job At Keeping The Viewer Entertained, Despite It’s Heavy Emphasis On Fishing of all things. It Goes Into Good Detail On Fishing Technique, Equipment And Tackle, Particulars Of Different Fish, Etc.
