First things first, I want to say that I have read the light novel before I watch this show. So, most things I will review is about the adaptation itself. Despite saying that, I still will try to review the show as an anime though I can’t promise it much.

Madan no Ou to Vanadis is a show about a Vorn named Tigrevumurd of a small village name Alsace that is involved in a civil war as a major commander. He asked help from a Vanadis – A warmaiden whose power is said equal to a thousand soldiers – named Eleonora Viltaria from another country. ...

Btooom! (Anime) add
As I just watched BTOOOM! about 3 years after the initial episode, its premise is actually a common theme of most series. Yes, about a NEET that is somehow trapped in a situation where their life at stake. It's so common that I even need to think twice or thrice to take such a show because there's a common follow-up of the series. It become a comedy that forget how the pinch in their life and in the last episodes, the situation become so dangerous that make the episodes before is a summer breeze. And how about BTOOOM!?

BTOOOM! take a nice approach by using a ...

Chuunibyou or eight-grade syndrome has gained quite popularity for quite time. Though it never come as a main theme, at least several well-known series has a side character who is Chuunibyou. Chuunibyou has rather vague theme, where involving it may betray with the character itself. But there is a good series that can overcame that obstacle, named Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai. After its success, we get another Chuunibyou main theme series this Fall 2014, Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de (InoBato).

Inobato tells the story of four high school students plus an elementary school children gathered at a club and then one day, they get ...

Hitsugi no Chaika as a quite phenomenal series with the main character, Chaika, back with a second season. Still using the same theme in the first season, we were taken to see Chaika collect the pieces of her father's corpse despite the doubts and the mystery behind the Chaika herself. Accompanied by Tooru Acura and Akari Acura, also loli dragon Frederica, this second season solves up various mysteries that were encountered during the first season.

With the use of the same themes in the first season until the third episode, we were taken to Chaika adventure in finding the heroes who have the pieces of her ...

Glasslip (Anime) add
I didn't have any bad experience with P.A Works before. I had watched Nagi no Asukara and Hanasaku Iroha. NagiAsu is exceptionally a masterpiece and HanaIro, though it's not really good, it's not really that bad too because of the great art and a decent story. But, Glasslip as the P.A.W. latest work didn't come as my expectation.

Glasslip came with an unique synopsis. It told you about the daughter of a glass artisan family, Fukami Touko. So I thought it would bring you some glass work and several trivial things about it, like HanaIro did. But it didn't. It's such a good example of deception.

But, ...

At first, I thought I saw a season 2 of Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin as the synopsis is almost identical. And I thought it would be a same plot as Nanana. Turn out it's wrong. Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? is a really great romcom series. Unlike most romcom series I know, Rokujouma is not your usual romcom. Usual romcom made the girls somehow have to cling to the MC to shows her characters. But Rokujouma isn't like that. I had only found this unlikely romcom pattern only in Haganai.

Rokujouma started with your usual romcom start. It doesn't start really good for me. But as the story ...

Tokyo ESP (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
To be honest, I don't know how I should explain this series. Tokyo ESP is one of action series which I took because of the action genre only. As the series first made, my expectation is it would become a little good because of the promising almost-ending scene in the first episode. But, as the series went, my expectation came down and almost drowned into the deep of the sea with the ending.

Tokyo ESP is a series which told us a normal high school girl and got a special ability. The girls then become a hero who tried to save the town from another special ...

Rail Wars! (Anime) add
Rail Wars! is a series which says would mainly discuss about train. As I thought it's quite interesting to see a series with unique main theme, I took this series. It turned out quite wrong if you want to come and see a train in this series.

As I previously mentioned above, it's a train series. It came with a good premise but deviating plot. The series follows Takayama Naoto, a boy who wants to be a train driver. But, he couldn't do that and instead, he entered as a trainee in the Railways Security Force. There he met some of his harem.

The story is quite ...

Zero no Tsukaima can be called as the first series which success the fantasy harem genre series. And now every series with the same genre in each season try to follow its success. One of them is Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance (Blade Dance) for Summer 2014.

Blade Dance is just your typical harem series. The MC is the only boy with the ability whose only girl can only wield, just like IS. And the story went as oh I found an enemy, let's the girls fight and I will help too. Oh, don't forget some unnatural ecchi scene. It's the same recipe. Even there are ...

Idol is a war. Oh wait, it's a wrong series, lol. But, it's still a same theme as that series as this one is an idol series. Futsuu no Joshikousei ga [Locodol] Yatte Mita, abbreviated Locodol is a series which tells us how the normal school girls can become an idol. Though idol, they re just a local one, so how shine are they in their own locals and their own self?

A story which tells us a normal school girls who somehow become an idol is one of the cliche story of most series we have today, so it's not really a promising premise. But, ...
