Anime Spotlight: Spring 2012

I do not wanna sound like some cynical asshole but a show about fishing enthusiasts followed by what seems homoerotic atmosphere does not sound like GREAt premise.

four boys go fishing

homoerotic atmosphere

If done correctly, Sankarea should be on another level entirely. There's no mystery in that one, no ghosts or supernatural elements either. Sankarea's a somewhat disturbing horror romance. And by somewhat, I mean it's very sick.

I must give the people responsible for Queen's Blade some credit. They do try awfully hard with all of that detail and plot. I'm staying the Hell away, but I can see a little of why things that don't jiggle might more than incidentally interesting.

A robot Elf with no feet? That's just fantastic.

At least the Spotlight gave a probable explanation for that "legs spread, crotch presented" pose at the end of her character preview: Quote: Furthermore, when doing so she must faithfully perform the “Sacred Poses” recorded in scripture.

In this world, people presumably read the Bible, "for the scripture."

Second thought: Ooh, Sugitan is voicing the Indian guy! Wait, the Indian guy is wearing a turban...that seems a bit culturally insensitive.

I'm eagerly awaiting Zac's epic review on this show!

What's left for him to say aside from "Same old Queen's Blades. Fans are gonna like it, but it's not for me." The only way you can go into QBR with another viewpoint is if you don't like what they've done to characters like Aldra, Risty, or Tomoe, but that would imply you're already more informed about the show, the brand, and plot development than someone not paying attention.

Ah, but his way of saying it is always delightful and amusing.

Why am I getting a feeling everything is not what it seems with that Natsu-iro Kiseki PV? Surprise me, Sunrise!

well now we have our tna anime with decent quailty this season... i am thinking of converting over to Christianity due to our new lovely nun Shigi. Her special training ova to convert pagans was very.. holy

There's nothing "Christian" about it. In the second series, they explained that the business with the "Sacred Poses" was based on a gross misinterpretation of a Kama Sutra-like book.

Still, QBR is definitely a series I'm looking forward to and will be watching. The previous two have been well-made in technical and artistic senses, featured high-quality fan service than most, and actually had story and characterizations which go beyond the T&A content - though it still plays up the T&A at every opportunity.

I'll reserve judgment on Nastu-Iro Kiseki until I see what the hook is.

About NATSU-IRO KISEKI. You know, I don't care anymore. Even if it will be as good as Hanasaku Iroha I'm not watching another f***ing slice-of-life show about 4 schoolgirls. Any new ideas, anime industry?
