These are four 아니메 I watched since posting the alphabetical My 아니메 Series articles. They are in order of completing them, not in alphabetical order.
Nabari no Ou: The premise is that the fate of the ninja world is in the hands of the most apathetic boy around. Sounds like we’re in for a bunch of silliness, huh? No, this show has as much seriousness and angst to match any average anime. Miharu, our couldn’t-care-less hero, learns to care, especially when befriending an enemy, the powerful but sickly Youte. It’s an almost 야오이 relationship, except Miharu is probably around middle school age and Youte is too sickly to engage in sexual activities anyway.
This was a fun series to watch, albeit confusing. The 더 많이 exposition they
gave, the 더 많이 confused I became. And I had a hard time catching everybody's name. There aren't a lot of special features, but that's okay. The English dub is suitable, though not stellar. I consider it a worthwhile series.
Kaze no Stigma—Poor Kazuma! He was kicked out of his family just because he couldn’t master 불, 화재 magic. Now he’s returned, cocky and self-assured, a master of wind magic. His father still won’t accept him, but at least he has Ayano, the hot tempered 불, 화재 heiress 의해 his side. Although she’d rather throw fireballs at him for annoying her with his smugness.
This show featured lots of Ayano panty shots. Not quite evening things out, they also showed Kazuma nude once, and in his underwear another time.
The ending was rather open. It seemed to want to continue, letting the bad guys escape to fight another day, leaving Kazuma and his father’s dislike of each other unfixed, and showing things continue basically as they always have. Except now Kazuma is 더 많이 flirty with Ayano.
This show was entertaining, and veered into the occult sometimes, a subject that once was taboo to me, but it wasn’t stellar and I see no need to watch it again.
Aria the Origination: The final series leading up to graduation for Akari and friends. Although they are happy to achieve their goals, sadness is felt in reflecting how they are leaving some precious times behind them. The last episode may make 당신 cry.
Seven of Seven—Watching the first disc, I knew this wouldn’t be the kind of 아니메 I’d need to buy for myself and watch over and over again. But it’s cute. This is the tale of a junior high school student, NaNa, cramming for high school entrance exams, when into her life gets deposited six clones of herself. The series really shows how tough Japanese students have it, though the gruff assistant principal and guidance counselor aren’t as bad as they initially seem. The ending is nice, but then there is this bonus episode that must have been an OVA, and has decidedly 더 많이 팬 service than the series ever did. Weird. All in all, it’s a show I might not mind watching again after all.
