Well I had quite a surprised feeling after finishing the
first episode(s) of Ore no Kanojo to
Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru, Maoyuu
Maou Yuusha, and Boku wa Tomodachi ga
Sukunai NEXT (these anime names are getting longer and longer…). Never had I
been so excited and anxious for the next release for the next episode to air
the following week. Let’s talk about Ore
no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru first:
Ore no Kanojo to
Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru is from what I can tell a light drama/slice
of life that revolves around the fake relationship of Masuzu and Eita. What has
me so interested in this particular series is the character Masuzu. She is
bold, unique, manipulative, and a whole bunch of other things. She sets the
premise of the show by asking out Eita to be her fake boyfriend so that the
other boys at her school will stop bothering her. At first Eita declines the
invitation but when she presents a long lost book of Eita’s he quickly changes
his mind. The character interactions between these two characters are so fun to
watch that the episodes fly by so quickly. When you enter Chiwa (Eita’s
childhood friend) into the equation you receive a very fun looking love
triangle in the works. The initial two episodes do a great job of setting up
the plot and introducing the characters and their intentions. I am looking
forward to this anime’s future releases.
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
kind of caught me off guard because I actually stumbled upon it on accident. When
looking for another episode of another anime, I found this series and thought “Well
one more anime couldn’t hurt”. The plot of the show starts out with the Hero
confronting the Demon King. He shortly finds out though that the Demon King is
actually a very beautiful and normal looking female that wants to bring peace
to the world. After telling the Hero her goals, they decide to mutually help
each other out. The initial premise of the show first made me think that this
might be another boring adventure anime. There were also hints of early romance
being instigated by the Demon King with the Hero missing a couple bites. What I
found out after two episodes though is that this anime does have some good
quality points. They go into detail on why the humans and demons wage war so
that countries without a food source will receive financing from the government.
They go into great detail on how these countries would starve and die without
war. The Demon King (or should I say queen) is very knowledgeable of many
useful things such as the state of the war and agriculture. She plans on
helping a small village thrive in order to start her conquest of peace. I have
to say that Maoyuu Maou Yuusha has
started out very well and I am eagerly awaiting next week’s episode.
Finally we have Boku
wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT, an anime that I have somewhat been waiting
for since finishing up its first season. Its predecessor was by no means a masterpiece
but was still entertaining to watch. This season starts off pretty much where
the first one left off; Kodaka, Sena, Yozora, Rika, and Yukimura are all part
of a club that meets after school each day. Their club’s goal is to make
friends and although you can say they are all friends, many strange events
happen between each character. For one thing, one reason the show is enjoyable
to watch is because each character is essentially socially awkward. Each
character is either putting on a fake personality, used to being alone, ore is
just plain weird. The interactions that follow are amusing to watch because the
characters are always playing pranks on each other or doing something strange
in public. The back and forth conversations between Sena and Yozora are
especially entertaining to watch because they both are very close to being on
the same wavelength. Overall the first episode follows the same flow as the
previous season so basically if you want to know if you would like this show,
just watch the first season first. If you skip the first season you might be a
little lost.
All three of these shows started out great; I do not really
know what else to add so I’ll say only this, “GO WATCH THEM NOW”.
