Seitokai no Ichizon uses a repeated formula to structure all its episodes, and it works surprisingly well.

This anime was one of the few series this Fall season that I was never behind on. I kept up with it and made sure to watch the new episode every week.

It mostly consists of comedy with parodies inserted now and then. Add in some glimpses of actual seriousness to complete it all. Nothing concrete really happens from episode 1 to episode 12 except that you learn more about all the characters, but that’s why it’s so fun and easy to watch. I’m definitely hoping for a second season of this.

Be sure to watch this anime for their bantering and epic statements like the one in the image shown above.

A different perspective from To Aru Majutsu no Index, instead focusing on Misaka and her friends. Since I started reading the manga a while back, I knew what to expect. More entertaining than I thought it would be. Kuroko’s voice is also awesome.

Rating: Very Good

Seiken no Blacksmith

The setting seems like it’s taken right out of a RPG fantasy world. An amusing female lead and your not-so-average blacksmith. Very nicely animated battle scenes.

Rating: Very Good

Seitokai no Ichizon

Reminds me somewhat of Lucky Star except with an eroge/harem-obsessed male lead added in. Entertaining to watch with bantering and parodies galore.

Rating: Good

White Album 2nd Season

Continues from the first season right off the bat. I was confused at first since I finished the first season quite a while back. It’s the same old White Album: characters being emo and messed up relationships. But I’ll still continue watching it anyways since I like making fun of it.

Tegami Bachi

Delivering mail is serious business. Mailman along with his partner (the dog) must deliver a boy to the destination address. His voice sounds familiar…

Rating: Decent

Takakau Shisho

What’s with these series that involve libraries and war? Quite a weird and confusing series. Hopefully the story will become more clear in future episodes.

Rating: Somewhat Decent

Kampfer

Who comes up with these stories? A guy turns into a girl due to a bracelet that also gives him/her special powers to fight with. Also, I guess it’s normal for no one to notice that there’s a crater in the road and a blown up telephone pole? Not as bad as I thought it would be though.

Rating: Decent

Nyan Koi!

Don’t piss off the Cat God, otherwise you’ll be cursed to turn into a cat unless you help out 100 cats. That’s what happened to the main character in this series. At least he can understand the cat language or whatever now.

Rating: Good

Miracle Train

So I just started watching this without even looking it up first. Who the hell came up with the premise? The guys are physical manifestations of train stations? Started to lose interest before episode 1 was even over.

Rating: Ugh

A very short promotion video has been released for Seitokai no Ichizon, which airs next Friday (October 2nd).

Meh, seems to be another harem anime. But it’s based on the light novel series, so I’ll give it a chance.
