lucathiaWinter anime season has started! I fell behind with watching some anime from the previous season, but I'll be blogging about that separately sometime... if I ever finish watching those series, haha. XD
First episode of Level E is out! I don't know what most of the other winter anime series are about, but I was looking forward to this one. It surprised me that there'd ever be an anime adaption of Level E. The manga is so old now, and it isn't all that long either. The manga this is based on is by Togashi Yoshihiro, mangaka of Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter, and it was finished in... 1997 or so?Before After(?) Yu Yu Hakusho. For some reason, I always thought the manga would be very dark (I hadn't read it), but when I heard there'd be an anime adaption, I finally read parts of the manga. The humor really surprised me. I didn't think this would be a comedic sci-fi series. (ETA: there are some fairly dark parts too though. I wonder what the anime will turn out like)
So the premise is... a fairly normal high schooler moves to Tokyo because of baseball and finds an amnesic alien prince hiding out in his apartment. The manga doesn't take itself very seriously, haha (think, serious topics mixed with humor), and it looks like anime will be much the same, though this first episode might be trying to pass off as somewhat more serious. I look forward to the rest, since I'm sure there will be a lot of overturned assumptions to come, and lots and lots of parodies (mixed in with some more serious stuff). From this first episode, I noticed that the girl was called "Edogawa Miho" (I was going, hey, Edogawa! That's not common!) and then she mentioned in a later scene that her father works at the Conan Laboratory. *facepalm* XDD
This series so does not take itself seriously. XDDD This scene made me giggle.
Not too sure what else I'll be watching this season.
edit: Possibly checking out Hourou Musuko, Beezlebub, and Kimi ni Todoke season 2 (but I need to finish season 1 first...)
