Hey it's been awhile. Yeah, fuckin illness that put me down to hell for 3 months. I said, in january 2011 this year will be heavy, it was and real world sux even more. Then it's 2012 and i am back to the magical world (enough complains).
What about a cool anime selection for this new year ?
This is a selection of the new ones I saw, I will update this page later. This is NOT a review page, just fast
intro if you're looking for something fresh.
I give 3 DDL links for mirrors and formats, dont come and bug me if something not working, contact the concerned site instead.
Another
Mystery - Horror - School
This is the story of a transfert student : Kouichi. He moved from Tokyo to a small rural town where his grandparents live (his father had to go to India for business). His 1st day is far to be
fun as he got sick and been admitted to hospital but his future classmates came for a "welcome" to a visit... a welcome that looks more to be an investigation.
Just before he left the hospital, Kouichi met a weird girl named Misaki Mei. He will meet this girl again, in his class, alone, like if nobody could see her.
This Misaki is the girl who died 26 years ago, a strange story which is not over.
Understand this serie is atmosphere based, the BGM is fantastic, stressfull, it feels the fear and paranoia. Great musics. Art is excellent too.

Zero No Tsukaima
Fantasy - Ecchi - Comedy
Louise and Saito are back, wow this is 3 years of waiting. This time story starts in Romalia where the pope needs to see Louise and Tifania because they are the bearer of the Void (yes Tifania
too) and he has something important to tell her : an alliance between all Void bearers including Joseph... which is not in the taste of Saito.
Well, well, this is the 4th and last season of Zero no Tsukaima, I suppose we can expect a similar settings as the previous (adventures + fan service) with an epic ends.
If you've never seen this serie before, I urge you to start from the very beginning or you may get lost. You have 3 seasons of stories and characters to learn about and nothing is explained in
this 1st EP.

Amagami SS Plus
Romance - School
Another sequel yup. The "Plus" starts with Tsukasa to be the girlfriend of Junichi (yes, this is imortant). The election for the next student council president is about to begin, Tsukasa is
candidate and she has to fight against 3 other students. A boy (just here for the number), Sae (the small and shy girl from Amagami SS) and a new one : Noriko.
This Noriko choose the same vice-president as Tsukasa : Junichi. Is this a public confession or a political manipulation ?
Amagami SS was a great serie (I gave it a 9 out of 10) with different routes like in the game (no, i've never played this game). I dont know how this "Plus" will be managed but i expect to have
something similar. 1st ep is good, I can feel the upcoming drama and I want to see "what's happening next".

Nisemonogatari
Supernatural - Weird
Sequel Sequel... it follows Bakemonogatari, the story of Koyomi, an ex-vampire who helps some girls affected by some weird gods. One of these girls will become his girlfriend while another will
try to kill him for her love (well, it's a bit complex to explain, better watch it).
The 1st Ep of Nisemonogatari has no story, just 3 scenes : the 1st where Koyomi is tortured by Hitagi, the second is a random chat between Koyomi and his sister and the third is a lolicon scene
with Mayoi. Ho yes, Meme has vanished. That's all.
If you dont know this serie you may think "what the hell is that ??? Total non-sense !". Yes it is. It's a "talk" type serie with special Shaft-style arts. In other words : you will love it
because of its creativity or you will just say this is boring...boring I hope this 2nd season wont be.

Ano Natsu de Matteru
Romance - Comedy - School
Haaa a new anime which is not a sequel ! Kaito is a megane-type student who lives with his older sister since their parents died. He loves filming with his camera and that night (when the anime
starts) something crazy is happening : a spaceship is falling near his position, he is injuried ... but the day after he can't remember anything of that event. Back to class his mattes decide to
make a movie all together and they decide to include the fresh transfert student : Ichika.
As you suspect, Ichika is an alien, she is the one who saved Kaito and she was looking for him.
yes, yes another "alien girl coming to claim love to a normal boy" since Urusei Yatsura tons of these has been aired. But this one seems a bit different, it's very funny, not ecchi and the main
hero is not stupid. I'll see after the 3rd ep if it's worth watching.

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou
Comedy - School
Looking for something new and funny ? It's the stories of 3 freinds from the same High School (boys only). There is no real plot or whatever, it's a erm.. slice of life (crazy life heh)
comedy.
This anime will remind you of Gintama because of the cast and this works fine in the last scene of the 1st ep (the one with the girl on the river bank): close your eyes and listen... yeah
it's Gintaki in his usual weird situation.
Well nothing more to say about it. We'll see if it works for a long time.

Mouretsu Pirates
SiFi
Marika is a girl who spends her time in school, working at a Maid cafe and having fun at her yatch club. Her life will change the day where 2 weird customers will come to her cafe : those
are old friend of her father and she will learn incredible things about the past. Marika's mother is a retired pirate, the wife of a famous captain from an official pirate crew which has worked
during independency war. Now it's time for Marika to be like her father : a pirate captain of the Bentenmaru.
What a space pirate story is doing here ? And why not ? I'll see how the story turns in the 2 next episodes and then I'll drop or stuck.

Erea No Kishi
Sport
WHAT THE HELL ???!!!! A football anime on Yakumo's blog !!! You must think I am still sick or this is just a joke ne ? Nah Nah ! it is not. I was just curious to see a football (サッカー) anime
once.
So this is the story of Kareku who likes ... guess... yes ! football ! He's not player because of an old injury (he is afraid to play again) but works as anager in the team where his big brother
is the captain. Things will change with the come back of his childhood friend Nana aka "Seven", our hero will be back to the field and, who knows, become a superstar, better then both Lionel
Messi and C. Ronaldo (wahahaha ignore the last sentence, it's just me having fun with football anime).
Hey why "football" ? Because it's the official name.

High School DxD
Ecchi - Supernatural
Anime for virgin boys. It's a story of Issei who's going out for the 1st time of his life with a splendid girl. Things will quickly turn bad as she reveals her true self : a demon who bring him
on a date to dispose of his life.
The day after his death our hero wakes up in his bed... a bad dream ?
No because things are changing, he can hear from a distance, see what people can't and his strengh is now amazing. And as he discover his new power a man come and try to kill him (yeah again),
while he is half dead lying of the floor, the girl he dated come and save his life.
A story with demons, fights, fully nacked girls and tons of fan service. As I said : an anime for virgin boys.
I dont think i'll follow it, i'll see...

Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai!
Comedy
Yuuta starts uni in the weird way : he drinks beers until he gets drunk to finally ends in a room where a man ask him about what he did to the girl sit in front of him. This was just a joke but
he met the beautifull Raika this way.
Yuuta has an older sister, married with 3 girls (2 are from a previous marriage of her husband). She asks him to take care of this little familly because of a trip with her husband.
Nice design but i dont see where this anime will lead us. Cross-story with raika and one of the sisters (the oldest) ? Well, 1st EP is not funny, just good to watch, I wait for more.
