Summer Anime ‘18
Here are all the anime and donghua that we watched this summer season (excluding those who have second, third etc season airing).
Yeah, the chinese ones don’t exactly fit in any season. They are still very good though so we decided to put them here!
Of course, this is just our opinion so it may differ from what you think ^^
{ Winter ‘17/’18 }  { Spring ‘18 }
Aguu: Genius Dolls
Tumblr media
K: It doesn’t have anything to do with balet, so don’t give after the first half of the episode lol It’s a bit different, from the story to animation, but I really liked it ^^ 
Neko: I like the idea of it, it’s different and interesting
Kitsune: A really interesting idea for the plot and I must say that I love how crazy the villains are! The first few episodes made me hungry for more.
Angels of Death
Tumblr media
K: I don’t know which epithets would be enough to describe. I love Angels of Death! It’s extremely interesting, aesthetical, the characters are amazing, would recommend to anyone! 
Neko: I love it! Characters are unique and interesting, especially that one of the main characters wants to die and other likes to kill! One of my favorites this season ^^
Kitsune: A unique story leaving everyone on the edge at the end of each episode. Great art-style and lovable characters, all from “good” to “bad”.
Angolmois
Tumblr media
K: Much better than I expected, I’m really glad I stuck after the first episode, I ended up really liking the characters and the story ^^ I don’t usually watch history anime, but this one was really good! And the music is amazing.
Neko: I didn’t expect a lot after the first episode and usually I’m not into war anime, but for some reason I really liked this one ^^ 
Kitsune: I still need to watch this further because the girls seem amazed by it :)
Asobi Asobase
Tumblr media
Neko: It is a good comedy, sometimes really funny, but I wouldn’t watch it if it wasn’t an episode per week
Back Street Girls
Tumblr media
K: I had no idea what to expect from the description, but I’m so glad I tried it. It’s hilarious, has great humor and a really untypical story. A yakuza in a idol girl body - what more can you ask for?
Neko: it was funny and different ^^
Kitsune: At the first sight of the trailer, I was equally confused as interested xD Although it seems like an anime that only guys would like, the misfortune of the yakuza’s can make anyone laugh!
Banana Fish
Tumblr media
K: A roller-coaster for emotions. Definitely in the favorites! I love the characters, the plot, animation, music. It’s intense, it makes me both cry and look forward to each episode at the same time. And I just love them so so much!
Neko: It’s hard not to like this one ^^ One of my favorites, I just love it! I definitely recommend this one!
Kitsune: Love, love and only love for this one!
Beryl and Sapphire
Tumblr media
K: I love them! Their interactions, the stories, so cute. It also ranges from cute and funny to I’ll break your heat and you’ll cry moments. Can be a bit confusing at first, but it’s great!
Neko: I love this anime! It is so heartwarming and heartbreaking and it’s just beautiful :’) Words can’t describe how much I love this anime!
Kitsune: If you ever wondered how it would look like if someone made an animation of you favorite ship fanfics in different AU’s, this is how it would be :D
Cells at Work
Tumblr media
K: Adorable, funny, educational, I love this! It’s amazing how they personified cells, germs, viruses and all the functions in the body. One of the best this season!
Neko: I never thought I will like educational anime this much and I really never thought I will ship cells XD It is really good anime :D
Kitsune: So good that even my dad peeked over my shoulder sometimes to read the descriptions what each cell does xD
Chio’s School Road
Tumblr media
K: Sometimes can be hilarious, but sometimes the jokes get too forced, so if it wasn’t summer and I didn’t have a lot of time, I would have probably dropped this one. But it’s cute and funny, has a lot of cats ^^ 
Neko: I think this anime would be better if it were shorter because there were funny moments and meh moments, but I guess it is sometimes funny and nice to watch
Kitsune: I kinda needed a few episodes to get used to it but after getting to know the characters better, it became a funny anime to watch :)
Eudemon Quest 
Tumblr media
K: Only chinese animation I know that doesn’t have an amazing opening song haha It’s funny, isn’t long and even though it’s a bit typical, I like it ^^
Neko: I haven’t watched a lot of episodes so I’m not sure, but for now I like it even though I know a lot of better chinese anime
Grand Blue
Tumblr media
K: I think the picture is self-explanatory enough lol It has a lot of comedy, drinking, stupid guys doing stupid stuff and, extremely rarely, it actually has something to do with diving (but like very rare, I got shocked each time they did anything diving related xD) 
Neko: It is not really my type of anime so i can’t really say I like it
Kitsune: lol
Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation
Tumblr media
K: Yes, I love them. Yes, I’m addicted. The characters are tragic, complex and loveable, the story is amazing, I’m in love with the music. I both laughed (fangirled) and cried, it has everything. And the novel is also amazing! (even though I still haven’t read all the translated chapters like neko did, but I will!)
Neko: *cries* It’s beautiful *sobs* I would give my soul for my babies in this anime, my soul! *crying intensifies* Only love for this anime!
Kitsune: What can I say anymore that the girls didn’t mention xD JUST AWESOME! I have to read the translated parts of the novel too!
Happy Sugar Life
Tumblr media
K: Not for everyone, that’s for sure, but it’s amazing! It does deal with sensitive topics like stalking, rape, murder, kidnapping, but the story is great, every character is, well, not normal and a bit crazy. I really recommend it!
Neko: I am amazed by how many mental cases one can fit in one anime xD It is crazy and a bit dark, but that is what makes it interesting.
Kitsune: Each time a new character appeared, I was amazed with how many different disorders they can come up with xD
High Score Girl
Tumblr media
K: The animation is different yeah, but it’s a cute anime. More slice of life, not much going on and you can see whether you’ll like it from the first episode of two since all the episodes are basically about the same things. Not amazing, but not bad either.
Neko: Yeah it is cute, it is slice of life about gaming in the past. I probably wouldn’t watch it if it weren’t for the one episode per week, but I still think it is cute.
Holmes at Kyoto 
Tumblr media
K: The main girl is annoying af, but Kiyotaka makes watching it worth while. The plot isn’t that amazing, but overall, I liked it.
Neko: It is the usual anime of this kind I think. There are few characters I like and there were different cases in almost every ep so it was interesting to watch.
Kitsune: I was not that much impressed with this one but it is worth a try if you need something at the end of the day to relax your brain :)
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord
Tumblr media
K: Meh. Basically, a neet wakes up as his game character and saves the world by sleeping with and satisfying his girl companions lol Not really my type of anime, but it’s okay.
Neko: I like the main character, but everything else is not really for me. I don’t usually watch this kind of anime and I don’t know if this is good for its type. I guess the main character was a bit relatable and funny
Kitsune: It doesn’t have much of a plot other than fight -> save the girl -> boobs xD I kinda like the main guy bc of his “demon personality” but if I had to recommend something like this, it would be better to try something more like The Testament of Sister because the plot is more complex.
Island
Tumblr media
K: The idea is great and it has a lot of potential, but the anime itself I felt like was poorly done. It really interested me, it gets you thinking about what is real and what is just the characters interpretation of things, it has a lot of turns in the story, but the ending, instead of being an incredible realization, seemed like a convenient solution just so they can finish the story. 
Neko: I have no idea what happened at the end. I mean I do, but it could have been better. It started great and it was interesting until the end. It was kind of frustrating. 
Kitsune: Interesting plot in the beginning but I found myself avoiding this anime after some time because I lost interest.
Kaifeng Strange Tales
Tumblr media
K: Funny as hell, never leaves me bored ^^ I really love the characters!
Neko: I like it! It is short and funny and characters are great! 
Kitsune: Just try watching it, you won’t be sorry xD
Lord of Vermilion
Tumblr media
K: Why did I watch this again? I don’t regret it, since I had a laugh watching it, but not really something I’d recommend. Has a lot of fighting scenes, annoying main characters and villains who like rambling on and on.
Neko: I have no idea why I watched all of this. It didn’t really leave a good impression on me, but I guess that there were moments when I laughed at this anime (it has stupid moments sometimes).
Muhyo and Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation
Tumblr media
K: Magical law, ghosts and monsters, humor - I really like it ~ The characters are great, there are a lot of funny and cute moments, battles against evil and a really relatable villain.
Neko: I didn’t expect a lot from it, but somehow I ended up liking this anime.
My Holy Weapon
Tumblr media
K: I like this one ^^ It has extremely good looking characters, good battle scenes and some humor. Can get a bit typical, but it’s the good kind of typical, so I don’t mind.
Neko: I like it, but I’m feeling like something is missing? Idk I’m weird XD I still think it’s good ^^
Phantom in the Twilight
Tumblr media
K: This one is really sweet! The romance is soft, the main girls are not completely annoying and the supernatural beings are typical to the point that they are extremely loveable. Alongside romance, it actually has a solid story and fighting scenes ^^
Neko: I honestly laughed a lot on this anime even though it is not comedy. I like characters and plot wasn’t boring.
Kitsune: I kinda had a bad feeling about this in the beginning because it had a generic anime plot BUT after a few episodes, I really fell in love with the characters and their relationships! :D
Seven Senses of Reunion
Tumblr media
K: Not really the most amazing game world anime, but it wasn��t bad. The arguments between characters get a bit pointless and there is a love pentagon, but I’m actually interested in the direction the plot will go.
Neko: I am interested in the idea of this anime, it seems good, but there is like one character that didn’t annoy me so it was hard watching it, for me all those relationships are pointlessly boring.
Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight
Tumblr media
K: Considering how confused I was after the first episode or two, I really love it! The plot is interesting and different and there is a talking giraffe with an amazing voice xD
Neko: I had no idea what was happening in the first ep, but it was so weird that I got interested and I kind of wanted to find out more about the giraffe XD In the end, the more episodes I watched, the more I liked it.
Tenrou: Sirius the Jaeger
Tumblr media
K: Damn, this is so good! I love the story, the characters and action scenes! Definitely worth the watch ^^
Neko: I love it ^^
Kitsune: The hype for this was not in vain! Awesome plot and animation, each of the characters is really interesting and the fighting scenes leave you speechless ;D
The Beauty Blogger 
Tumblr media
K: Makeup before guys! It’s casual, everything is fixed with makeup and the main girls love for it is greater than the one for boys and I love that ^^
Neko: I didn’t expect to like this one as much as I do. For some reason, I really love this anime. I also love how the main girl has her priorities organized :’)
The Dream Kingdom and the 100 Sleeping Princes
Tumblr media
K: How many ikemen can you squeeze into 12 episodes? According to this anime, a lot. The story isn’t anything special, but there are a lot of diverse characters, it has a lot of funny moments and is pretty cute.
Neko: I don’t actually have an opinion for this one. I just watched hot guys, I don’t know what else to watch here.
Kitsune: Aside from buckets of good looking guys, the plot is not that deep. I liked how diverse the places were through which they travelled though.
The Thousand Noble Musketeers
Tumblr media
K: It’s cool that the characters are actually guns, something like touken ranbu with guns and a smaller budget. It was fun to watch, they just didn’t do the best with the story and characterization (the villains were once again my favorite~)
Neko: There are a lot of different characters and for me they were more interesting than the plot, but I guess that was the point? 
Kitsune: Bang bang! xD The first thing I noticed is how unnatural one can wield a gun by swinging it around their heads and firing it without touching the trigger lol But well, it is okay and you get to learn a wide range of muskets and a little bit of history too if you google each weapon that appears.
Tsukumogami Kashimasu
Tumblr media
K: Cute, relaxing, easygoing, I like it. It doesn’t have a deep and keeps you on the edge of your seat plot, but it’s charming and the small detective story details are great ~ 
Neko: I agree with Kurohime, there is nothing else to say really
Whited Nightime 
Tumblr media
K: A cute romance + humor story ^^ It’s short and has adorable characters. I like it!
Neko: It is cute and characters are delightful I’m interesting in the plot too

Bummer Anime 2018 Part 2: shoujo to the rescue
It got better, mostly because it could hardly get worse. That doesn’t mean it was a smooth ride, of course. I would like to state, for the record, that I’m not trying to be the funny guy who hates everything here; the season’s just that unusually bad. As before, the source for the ad copy at the end of each block is this.
Asobi Asobase
Tumblr media
What: A bunch of assholes play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
✅ It’s another exuberant comedy, and unlike Chio-chan, I can’t catch this one on the execution: It has the technical chops and honestly good comedic timing.
❌❌ Initially wants to make you believe it’s a pleasant cute girls doing cute things show, but what it actually is is a brutally annoying and ugly explosion in the reactionface factory. Since the production values are there, it’s rather too good at that.
❌❌ I was trying to compare it to something, and the best I could come up with was rage comics. Yeah, it’s anime rage comics. It’s that bad.
❌❌ I would feel more benevolent towards it if it were shorter, but at full length its high energy screaming based assault is mostly just tiresome.
♎ This is one of those rare shows where even I will say your mileage may vary. It’s really good at what it does, but I hate everything it does. Hooray for the subversion, but at the end of the day you’re still annoying and ugly.
ANN sez: “It's this exact mix of stupid crassness and innocent naiveté that I think truly defines high-school life, and Asobi Asobase nails it perfectly. “
Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria
Tumblr media
What: A smartphone with a light novel protagonist attached time travels to the bronze age, establishes a incest-fascist harem regime with the power of Wikipedia.
❌❌ read the synopsis again please
❌❌ there’s more idiocy than that, believe it or not (ex.: smartphone hotline to his actual imouto, for the feels), but I haven’t got all day.
❌❌ Basing your isekai shit on “history” (i.e., a LN author’s idiotic idea of history) instead of an MMO or whatever only serves to piss me off even more.
❌❌ Actually not better than Isekai Smartphone, which makes it one of the worst anime episodes I have ever seen. Congratulations. The only thing it has over Death March is that it doesn’t spend 80% of the time in menus, but it makes menus look pretty good so it’s a wash.
ANN brainfarts: “Yuuto also seems to be limiting his phone searches to historically accurate things as well, which shows that he's really thinking about the fact that he's in the past – no one's inventing the rocket here, they're just learning to grind grain and use the phalanx formation for battles.”
Phantom in the Twilight
Tumblr media
What: Chinese girl travels to London, inadvertently inherits her great-grandma’s vampire harem. 
✅ Step 1 of every otome harem appraisal is determining how much of a wet blanket the protagonist is; Ton here is pretty spunky and even gets to kick some ass, so well done on that.
✅ Some of the right kind of nonsense for my taste, stuff like chav goblins and Jiangshi with miniguns is always appreciated.
✅ Random shows ending up with bizarre minimal techno soundtracks is still something that I approve of.
❌ Still not the glorious kind of nonsense that Dance With Devils had, nor the disregard of actual romance in favor of comedy that Dame x Prince exhibited. It’s an otome-ass otome harem and that’s not inspiring confidence for the long term.
❌ Looks cheap, and that won’t be getting any better.
ANN sez: “The fantasy worldbuilding here also felt far more sturdy than in many similar shows; this isn't a world where the Good Fantasy Guys fight the Bad Fantasy Guys, this is a world where creatures like goblins and spriggans and werewolves all exist, all possess their own cultures and priorities, and uneasily rub shoulders with each other.”
Jashin-chan Dropkick
Tumblr media
What: Demon snake girl wants to murder the chuuni gothloli that summoned her, gets owned right back.
❌❌ It’s the second coming of Dokuro-chan, with every punchline being torture. Quite literally for the characters, and consequently for the audience as well.
❌❌ Needless to say, the entire cast (there’s some additional supernatural babes, none of which make much of an impression) are jerks and the show being wantonly mean-spirited towards them does not cancel that out. 
❌ Somehow the second anime about eating reptile ass in recent memory. But Maidragon, as lame as it was, wasn’t as terrible as this. Jashin-chan won’t get into insipid family feels any time soon, but the alternative is worse.
ANN sez: “If this is your taste in humor, it may be worth giving a second episode to see if it starts pulling that off.”
Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes
Tumblr media
What: Handsome genius antique dealer appraises old pottery and his assistant’s soul.
✅ I have to admit that if you somehow decided to make a otome version of Sherlock without anything so crass as murder, this is how you’d do it. It works.
✅ The leading pair has simple but effective chemistry.
✅ The studio behind it has mostly done porn OVAs before, which is the kind of meta-humor I can get behind.
❌ Based on a series of novels, so naturally the talkytalk gets out of hand.
❌ Doesn’t have the highest budget, tries to make up for it with rainbow-colored garishness. Not a dealbreaker but it could get tiresome.
ANN sez: “While Yagashira cuts a handsome figure as the bishonen, Aoi has more of an ordinary appearance – perhaps deliberately so, since I suspect that the source novels were originally aimed at female audiences.”
Shinya! Tensai Bakabon
Tumblr media
What: Showa-era gag manga gets on air again after decades, repeatedly points out how hilarious that is.
❌ Beat-for-beat the same first episode concept as Osomatsu-san.
❌ The main difference is that Bakabon is more willing to look old as fuck, but when they arrive at the non-ruse look at the end of the episode, it’s the same as the non-ruse look that Osomatsu-san ended up at the end of its own first episode.
❌  So guess what, constantly takes potshots at Osomatsu-san, despite being a blatant ripoff of it.
❌❌ When it doesn’t reference Things You Know (if you’re a middle-aged Japanese salaryman), it references its own sorry showa-era gag manga self.
❌❌ I didn’t even like Osomatsu-san but this is an embarrassment.
♎ On the bright side, not as likely to provide fujos with incest shipping material. I fully expect to be proven painfully wrong on this.
ANN sez: Nothing. Way too Japanese for them, I suppose. 
Angolmois - Genkou Kassenki
Tumblr media
What: Historical action show wherein a bunch of misfits in medieval Japan fight the Mongols.
✅ Fairly decent action and animation thereof.
✅ Characters seem alright for this sort of thing. Maybe a bit too tryhard violent for my tastes, but that’s still within acceptable parameters.
❌❌ The looks are ruined in postproduction. I could live with the heavyhanded color correction, but what really kills it is the same omnipresent static paper texture over every single shot. It’s bad when it doesn’t change between shots but it’s devastating when it doesn’t move along with zooms and pans, which this show has a lot of.
❌❌ Seriously, I haven’t seen anything as senselessly destroyed by a single AfterEffects layer since Garo: Vanishing Line’s Parkinsonscam, but at least that only affected impact frames. Here it’s literally every frame. Delete that PNG you damn fools.
❌ So yeah, it’s okay-ish but that’s not enough to survive one boneheaded executive decision that’s impossible to ignore. It just comes out as a net negative.
ANN sez: “From its beautifully animated, choreographed, and directed fight scenes to its generally dynamic compositions and keen understanding of visual economy, Angolmois is a visually stunning production.”
Lord of Vermilion - Guren no Ou
Tumblr media
What: Tokyo gets enveloped in red mist which raptures most of the population and turns the rest into JRPG characters. They start fighting, we promise.
❌ Has the shape of an obvious Persona clone, but isn’t one; it’s actually based on an arcade CCG. So the source material isn’t very classy to begin with.
❌❌ Haphazardly thrown together so it’s hard to care about anything, especially not the characters.
❌❌ Opens with a flashforward to the climax, so we know this will just end up as overdesigned dudes and dudettes having allegedly epic battles that the show can’t afford to make look good, but can afford to make very red. Thanks for the heads up, I guess.
❌ So it’s quite bad, and not even funny-bad like Caligula was.
ANN sez: “There are always a few action shows like this every season, and they're always entirely overshadowed by that season's versions of shows like My Hero Academia and Banana Fish”
Grand Blue
Tumblr media
What: City slicker moves to a beach town expecting to end up in Amanchu; ends up in Animal House instead.
❌❌ Say it with me: Every punchline is the protagonist making a shocked face at dumb meatheads doing something stupid.
♎ For something that I feel like I should hate every second of, I actually didn’t hate it all that much. I even thought it was mostly sort of enjoyable. I don’t really know what exactly does it but I can offer some ideas:
✅ While the punchlines (well, punchline) may be bad, the jokes themselves aren’t. This is a real sitcom with larger-scale comedic setups than you usually see in anime, jokes build upon each other and keep escalating.
✅ Sleazy fratboy humor about partying hard and drinking like an idiot isn’t very profound, but rare at least in anime. And it’s amusing that the overall conceit is that it’s preventing iyashikei from taking place. Novelty counts for something. 
✅ Manages to build awkward comedic situations about buff dudes with their dicks out without resorting to the same old gay panic jokes. Just regular panic, no homo.
✅ Makes a good Friday beach bum combo with Harukana Receive, which incidentally also got better by embracing its more prurient side.
ANN sez: “If Grand Blue Dreaming has a major Achilles heel, its that it isn't self-aware enough to recognize when a joke has run its course. ”
Happy Sugar Life
Tumblr media
What: Yandere sociopath adopts a preteen girl (from a parking lot). It’s cute, only not.
✅ Is fully aware that everyone in this show is an asshole and is honestly trying for subversive. At least on the surface.
✅ Goes all on on the imagery, which works. At least on the surface.
❌❌ Simply exploiting the contrast between cuteness and insanity got old about a decade ago; this cranks up the presentation on both sides but doesn’t really add anything new.
❌❌ About as mean-spirited and unpleasant as Mahou Shoujo Site, while having even less to say. 
❌ Doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere; it’s just going to be the main character pwning other people that are just as flamboyantly fucked up as she is, but not as good at it. Starting with a flashforward to the (very edgy, of course) ending like Lord of Vermilion doesn’t help either. And even if they end up rusemanning what is implied there it won’t be much better.
ANN sez: “Happy Sugar Life was on my list of most-anticipated anime this season because its combination of disparate elements seemed so utterly perverse that I was curious to see how they could possibly fit together.“
Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight
Tumblr media
What: Girls slowwalk in an academy for stage arts by day, get into metaphorical superbattles by night.
✅✅ What can I say, it’s Love Live x Marimite with a glossy coating of Ikuhara-style operatics. A total deltabait concept if I’ve ever seen one.
✅ Clones the storytelling approach of Ikuhara but not many of his specific directing mannerisms; Since I’m tired of the latter but a sucker for the former, this is a good thing.
✅ In a similar vein, this trades Ikuhara’s functional ciphers for actual characters and his enigmatic arthouse plots for something that obviously makes sense. 
✅ How gay? So gay.
❌ Has the opposite problem of Grand Blue: This is a show that should blow me away, but doesn’t. In fact, if it didn’t bring the big damn musical theater complete with one of the best and most appropriate henshins I’ve ever seen near the end, I’d say it was fairly lame.
❌ Probably has something to do with that in the course of casualizing Ikuhara, the “real” world ended up too bland and the characters too generic. I get that it’s for contrast, but it can be done far better (see Yorimoi for an example).
✅ In any case, it still seems easily worth watching even if it’s not as good as it could be. Maybe it’ll even get better.
ANN sez: “All I can say for certain is that it comes completely out of nowhere, and that it raises all kinds of questions about what kind of series this is going to be.“
Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san
Tumblr media
What: Impoverished ghost hunter checks into a haunted hot spring and interacts with the harem that happens to live there.
❌ As generic a 90s ecchi harem comedy as they come; my correspondents tell me that this is extremely reminiscent of Love Hina. Shockingly it’s actually based on a 2016 manga, but you wouldn’t be able to tell.
❌ As such, an abundance of accidental boobplants and other saucy accidents makes up the bulk of what’s going on this show.
✅ The main ghost girl is fairly cute; The main dude is also relatively bearable and has at least one good joke in his backstory (which I won’t spoil), so the core dynamic is surprisingly fine. If the rest of the harem weren’t there, this wouldn’t be such a bad setup. 
❌ Features those dastardly breast-hiding light rays, reportedly even in the AT-X version. This doesn’t affect a large part of the show (the majority is more like the cap above), but boobies are probably still the only reason anyone cares about any of this.
♎ Certainly not good, but the lame shit of yore is not what I’m going to spend energy getting mad at in 2018. The 24 minutes I’m ever going to spend with it felt more nostalgic than anything.
ANN sez: “Ninja girl Sagiri comes off the worst from the situation, with nearly all of her dialogue spent promising to beat the crap out of anyone who doesn't measure up to her moral code. I imagine there must be more to her and the rest of the supporting cast than what we've seen so far, but at the moment they seem an awful lot like stock characters.”
Sirius the Jaeger
Tumblr media
What: A broody werewolf and his team of assorted bad dudes hunt vampires in 30s Tokyo.
✅✅ Looks ace, this is an action show with deluxe everything. It better, because being directed by Masahiro Ando is pretty much the start and end of this show’s unique selling points.
✅ Interwar Tokyo with a bit of a gothick twist is a cool setting, and this show can afford to portray it properly.
❌ Seriously though... edgy vampires and edgier werewolves. Come on, son.
❌ Just like Banana Fish, this is a highly polished implementation of something that fundamentally isn’t very interesting to me.
✅ I’d still take it over Fanana Bish because this doesn’t seem to take itself so bloody seriously and is far more comfortable with just being moody action schlock. It’s also less showoffy, believe it or not. What else are you going to watch? Sirius the Jaeger is what you’re going to watch. Sorry.
ANN sez: They only have a preview from Anime Expo, and that boils down to “The second episode is where things start to get interesting.“ I sure hope so.
Well, we got a few acceptable shows in if nothing else, I’ll leave it up to you to figure out which ones those are. I’m cutting my losses here, see you in three months for a hopefully more bountiful season.

La storia è ambientato a Tokyo. E’ il 29 gennaio 2030,una risonanza ad alta frequenza si scorge nelle vicinanze di Tokyo ed una nebbia rossa entra in città. Coloro che sentono questo suono, umani ed animali, svengono perdendo conoscenza. Tutto si blocca a Tokyo per paura che la nebbia stia trasportando un virus sconosciuto che causa un'epidemia. Tuttavia, sei giorni dopo, dopo l'incidente, le persone si svegliano come se nulla fosse accaduto. Dopodiché, le sezioni cittadine sigillate di Tokyo tornano gradualmente alla normalità. Ma da  dopo l’evento della risonanza ad alta frequenza, alcuni "eventi bizzarri" iniziano ad accadere e le persone si trovano coinvolte in vari misteri. Intanto, i giovani iniziano ad essere consapevoli di se stessi ed iniziano a liberare il loro potere nascosto nel sangue, diventando come un "vaso sanguigno di saggezza".
Sviluppato da Think Garage, il primo gioco della serie è stato distribuito da Square Enix nel giugno 2008. Seguito da un sequel nell'ottobre 2009, che ha poi portato a Lord of Vermilion Re: 2 nel luglio 2011, una versione aggiornata del sequel. Square Enix ha pubblicato Lord of Vermilion III nell'agosto 2013 e il quarto ed ultimo gioco della serie, Lord of Vermilion IV , è uscito nell'estate 2017.
