Staying Home This Summer?

If you’re like me, you’ll be mostly at home, not doing much. The spring anime is com­ing  to a close with animes end­ing left and right~ but for all you lazy people (includ­ing myself) the sum­mer anime is about to begin soon in which we will con­tinue to enter­tain ourselves with.

Yes, this is another of those anime sea­son pre­views that you see around. But the dif­fer­ence here is that you get to hear our thoughts and also some extra inform­a­tion too So, real quick: The list below is not the com­plete list of all the anime com­ing out. Shows such as Digi­mon and Osaka Ham­let are excluded. The anime is lis­ted in order of air­ing date. At the bot­tom of the post will be a few links that you might want to check out as they con­tain inform­a­tion such as show times

Now! Let’s begin!!!! Hos­ted by Llora-chan

Kur­oshit­suji II

July 1^st- A-1 Pic­tures has decided to cre­ate an anime ori­ginal sequel to Kur­oshit­suji. I never saw the firs one so I have no inten­tion of watch­ing this~ although, Nana Mizuki is tempt­ing me to~ See­ing as this sea­son is anime ori­ginal it should be fine to watch on its own, right?  The ED will be done by Yuuya Mat­sushita who did the first ED for Durarara!!

Eugen: –

Ammy: Didn’t watch the first one so no.

The Legend of the Legendary Heroes

July 1^st- In a far away land, Jun Fukuyama lends his voice to a young lad. Yes, I’m watch­ing this. Besides Jun, there are other seiy­uus that I love (but not as much as him) such as Daisuke Ono, Miy­uki Sawashiro, and Tomokazu Sug­ita. ZEXCS is adapt­ing the light novel into 26 episodes. Along with Ookami-san, I am look­ing for­ward to this one.

Eugen: Typ­ical RPG, do not want.

Ammy: Maybe. Des­pite the redund­ancy in its title, I haven’t really watched a fantasy in a while and it looks a bit interesting.

Amagami SS

July 1^st- A romance game is get­ting an adap­tion by AIC: 13 epis­odes with romance and drama.  Rina Satou, Shizuka Itou, and Yukana are voicing three of the girls. As Eugen says, it is remin­is­cent of Hat­sukoi Lim­ited and that turns me away~ I’ll wait for a few epis­odes to come out before try­ing it or not.

Eugen: THIS could be inter­est­ing. Reminds me of Hat­sukoi Lim­ited any­how, and that’s a good thing.

Ammy: Sure. I’m always in the mood for a romance drama. Hope­fully it doesn’t disappoint.

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi

July 1^st- The second show that I am most look­ing for­ward to For 13 epis­odes, JC Staff is adapt­ing the light nov­els.  Many well-known seiy­uus are tak­ing part in this com­edy: Kanae Itou (Amu from Shugo Chara), Miyu Irino, Shizuka Itou, Aki Toy­o­saki (Yui from K-ON), Rie Kugim­iya (Shana and tsun­deres), and Yui Horie. The OP will be done by May’n.

Eugen: The plot pre­view seems like Amelié/2. But I doubt they will be able to reach even a 1/1000 of the film’s awesomeness.

Ammy: YES…can I say the reason I want to watch it is because of the Taiga look alike? No? I want to watch it for the quirky char­ac­ters and the com­edy? Alright.

Mit­sudo­moe

July 2^nd- Ew. Don’t want to see this~ But for those who do, Bridge is adapt­ing a manga about 3 little girls and, as Ammy puts it, ruin a teacher’s life. Haruka Tomatsu, Aki Toy­o­saki, Chiwa Saito, Minori Chi­hara, and Kikuko Inoue are some of the seiy­uus here. It’s a pretty nice cast but that doesn’t even sway me.

Eugen: Cute is cute and I melt at it too, but I put Hanamaru Kinder­garten on-hold three months ago and didn’t remem­ber about it until right now. And I still won’t con­tinue to watch it.

Ammy: No. I don’t want to watch little girls ruin that poor teacher’s life.

Shufuku no Campanella

July 2^nd - Yuko Goto has a role in this game adap­tion by AIC. The ecchi factor of this turns me away as I derive no pleas­ure from that. I do like the fact that Miy­uki Hashimoto is doing the ED but it is not enough to make me watch it. From the last I can remem­ber, Miy­uki Hashimoto did the OP for Akane-iro no Somaru Saka.

Eugen: The pre­view hints on time travel so I give it a no, for the first time. Sorry but after read­ing a few books on the the­ory of time travel, I can­not accept the ‘simple’ time travel any­more. Noobs, learn2wormhole

Ammy: A story about a daugh­ter being reunited with her long lost father?! Wait, auto­ma­tion? No thank you.

Sei­tokai Yakuindomo

July 3^rd- I have high hopes for this anime. This com­edy is being adap­ted from a 4-koma to an anime with 13 epis­odes by GoHands. If I remem­ber cor­rectly, GoHands also was in charge of Prin­cess Lover (I’m just bring­ing that up just so you know of the studio’s other works, not for any bad intent). K-On’s Yoko Hikasa is also play­ing a part in this anime as well along with Emiri Katou and Yu Kobayashi.

Eugen: Maybe it will be good. The pre­view doesn’t say much except that it’s meant to be funny.

Ammy: No. That’s all I’m going to say.

Sekirei: Pure Engagement

July 4^th - Ew. Erect nipples~ This is the sequel to the ecchi Sekirei by Seven Arcs which is slated for 14 epis­odes. Mar­ina Inoue, Jun Fukuyama, Kana Hanazawa, and Yukana all have a role here. And I know Jun is one of the seiy­uus but (sur­pris­ing enough) I will still not watch this either way.

Eugen: –

Ammy: Didn’t watch the first, so no.

High­school of the Dead

July 5^th- Adap­ted from the manga is an anime with hor­ror and action as a group of stu­dents have to pro­tect them­selves from zom­bies! One thing that I did love after see­ing the trailer was the char­ac­ter designs that Mad­house did (although not quite fond of the fact that all the girls have huge knock­ers). Seiy­uus such as Mar­ina Inoue, Eri Kit­amura, Mamoru Miy­ano, and Miy­uki Sawashiro are tak­ing a part. This really isn’t my type of anime: Hor­ror, Zom­bies, Huge Breasts, Blood, Fanser­vice, Hor­ror~ yeah, not my thing~

Eugen: Hmm. I have totally seen that storyline some­where else before, and not once. It *could* be inter­est­ing though, it depends on the realisation.

Ammy: Zom­bie? Er, no thank you. The girls with huge tits are a bit of a turnoff as well.

Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin

July 5^th- Another one for the Anime no Chi­kara pro­ject. The trail­ers A-1 Pic­tures put out haven’t been entirely help­ful as this is sup­posed to be a hor­ror and com­edy anime but I can only see it as being hor­ror. Although it does look inter­est­ing I don’t think I will watch it~ I will most prob­ably wait to see people’s opin­ions on it once it airs. Mio’s seiyuu Yoko Hikasa is star­ring and also Angel Beat’s Kana Hanazawa will be play­ing a role.

Eugen: I can­not judge by the plot pre­view on this one, not really: a hor­ror and school com­edy? So I’ll be judging by the pre­view image: I like it. The back­ground is very inter­est­ing, some­thing Victorian/steampunk, and highly detailed. The char­ac­ter art is well-done too, although this can’t prom­ise good qual­ity of art and anim­a­tion in the series itself. Or even worse, good art qual­ity with shitty animation.

Ammy: Sure. It’s an ori­ginal series, and I love comedy/horror.

Nuraihyon no Mago

July 5^th- JUN FUKUYAMA is def­in­itely mak­ing me watch this show. This shounen series doesn’t just have him though (although he’s all I care about <3), Aya Hir­ano and Yui Horie are some other good seiy­uus. The seiy­uus are also singing the ED. If it weren’t for Jun I prob­ably wouldn’t have watched this. Good choice, Stu­dio DEEN!

Eugen: It just seems so… cheap. ‘A boy must fight him­self to grow up’ or some­thing. So gainax-y.

Ammy: No. Boring.

Tono to Issho

July 5^th- Gathering’s adap­tion on a 4-koma manga. This anime is a com­edy and par­ody but I am not too inter­ested in it nor do I have much to say. Sorry.

Eugen: Hmm. It has a chance to be funny, I think. Well, since I asso­ci­ate it with Gintama somehow.

Ammy: No. This isn’t the kind of com­edy I like.

Strike Witches 2

July 7^th - The girls have no pants on again in this con­tinu­ation of Strike Witches from AIC. I never watched the first sea­son so I won’t be watch­ing this one. Besides that, the OP is being done by Yoko Ishida.  I’ve heard that the main girl has had seiyuu swtched with someone else, for what reaason I have no idea of, but it should just take a few epis­odes of get­ting used to if anything,

Eugen: –

Ammy: Didn’t watch the first one, so no.

Shiki

July 8^th- The last of the hor­ror animes com­ing out this sum­mer. Daume is tak­ing over this novel filled with hor­ror and the super­nat­ural and put­ting into a 22-episode series. Haruka Tomatsu is tak­ing a part in this too. I won’t be watch­ing this see­ing as I wouldn’t be able to handle it. >_<

Eugen: I won’t be watch­ing this. Not catch­ing at all, the pre­view… Bizarre and inex­plic­able deaths are a nor­mal­ity in anime.

Ammy: Maybe. The story sounds inter­est­ing, but the char­ac­ter designs feel like a big no. Who gives these guys hair­cuts? Espe­cially the blue-haired guy!

Asobi ni Iku Yo!

July 10^th- The last of the light novel adap­tions! I won’t be watch­ing this and those giant boobs def­in­itely help me say no. AIC Plus+ is tak­ing over this adap­tion and hav­ing Sphere sing the OP. Haruka Tomatsu, Kana Hanazawa, Kanae Itou, and Kikuo Inoue are in this anime as well.

Eugen: Omamori Himari pla­giat much.

Ammy: No. Not interesting.

Sen­goku Bas­ara Two

July 11^th- The action con­tin­ues in Pro­duc­tion IG’s sequel to Sen­goku Bas­ara. The OP will be done by TM Revoluton (who also did the first OP to Soul Eater) and Paku Romi (or Pak Romi or Park Romi - whichever name you know her by)  is back again to play her role. I never saw the first sea­son and I’m not plan­ning to so this one is out for me as I have never been too much of a fan on his­tor­ical anime.

Eugen: –

Ammy: Didn’t watch the first one, so no.
