For the past year I didn't found any anime serie appealing (judging by the anime cover and resume 
).
But this summer I found interest again in new season and series.
A lot of anime started two weeks ago and I could watch the first episodes of some of them.
Here are what I started :
My preference goes to :
[tn=120]http://pix.gbatemp.net/746/usagi_drop.jpg[/tn]
Name: Usagi Drop (bunny drop)
Story: a 30 years old man goes to his grand father funeral, where he meet his family and a new girl he didn't know. It appear that the girl is his grand-father's daugther!
But nobody of his family want to take care of her and they want to place her in a child care center. As the main character can't stand this discussion anymore about placing her, he decide to take her at his home.
My comment: I like shoujo and kind stories, I liked it quickly. The animation is good, the story looks funny and promising.
I'm following Commie fansub group.
[tn=120]http://pix.gbatemp.net/746/natsume_san.jpg[/tn]
Name: Natsume Yuujinchou San
Story: A boy how can see Youkai (demons from Japanese Folklore) and is entitled with a book of demon which grant great power and is wanted by a lot of demons. but instead of fighting theses demons, he is helping them to get free of their contract with the book.
My comment: This is the third (and last?) season of Natsume series. The first episode was fine, it just follow the previous series.
I'm also following commie series. (previously followed Moo-Shi and BSS). I don't have complain on their work, I like staying with the same group when watching a serie but sometime groups don't continue on next seasons
All three seems fine and using same expressions/sentences.
[tn=120]http://pix.gbatemp.net/746/kamisama_dolls.jpg[/tn]
Name: Kamisama dolls
Story: A forgotten village has kept a secret about their practice. Their villagers can control big dolls mentally, called "Kamisama" (God).
While the main character is taking his school in Tokyo, someone from his village who were kept captive escaped and came to Tokyo, starting killing people using his dolls.
My comment: Good start, a good dose of mystery and action
I hope to see next episodes soon. I'm following Chihiro fansub group.
[tn=120]http://pix.gbatemp.net/746/ikoku_meiro.jpg[/tn]
Name: Ikoku Meiro no Croisée (La Croisée dans un Labyrinthe Étranger) (French title) (meeting in a foreigner's labyrinth)
Story: Paris, France, 1920. A merchant bring a little japanese girl to boost his selling and make people curious about his own shop.
The girl is learning new culture and try her best to adapt to her new life style.
My comment: I like it. Maybe some clichés, but it's fine with me.
The pace is slow, they are abusing a little of French words everywhere (even if they don't have real meanings).
The narrator is speaking (real) French. Too bad the anime is all in Japanese instead of real character's language, it would have made a better drama impact between characters.
I'm following Ayako fansub group.
[tn=120]http://pix.gbatemp.net/746/bloodc.jpg[/tn]
Name: Blood-C (3rd part, from the blood series)
Author: Clamp
Story: no real story for the moment. Saya went to school with her friends, and after school she fights a demon.
My comment: Very strange story, no real relation between other Blood and Blood+ storyline.
The story takes place in current time, Japan.
Saya has a father who she is loving and she is expressing sentiments, she has friends and goes to school. (It's very weird, and not matching Saya's character)
She seems to live a dual life, one side with her friend enjoying life, and one side serious with demons and vampires.
There were not enough plot to decide if it was good or bad (but I will continue watching it).
I'm following Doki fansub group. Episode 1 was really bad graphically and very bad encoding. But it was a pre-aired version, I guess they will do another version later. if not, I'll change group, but they usually do better.
[tn=120]http://pix.gbatemp.net/746/no6.jpg[/tn]
Name: No. 6
story: In the distant future, a genius young boy is living in an utopia city.
On a rainy day, he will help an escaping fugitive to hide at his home.
My comment: Not enough plot for the moment.
It may be interesting. only 11 episodes.
I'm following Doki fansub group too.
[tn=120]http://pix.gbatemp.net/746/kamisama_no_memo.jpg[/tn]
name: Kamisama no Memo-chou (god's notebook).
story: A student is enrolled by a NEET geek group who are solving disapearing cases (well the first episode of 45min was about someone missing).
My comment: It was a little not my taste. Too much reflexions and fast pace. It could be great for people loving detective stories.
I think I won't continue this one. I already have a lot to follow.
I'm waiting for: (but won't be available until DVD/Blu-ray release)
