My summer anime list ★

I was supposed to make spring anime list some time ago, but never got around to actually do it so I decided to skip straight to summer animes. XD Few years back there was a looong period of time when I didn't watch anime almost at all, but since last winter I got hooked on anime again and nowadays we try to watch new episodes of our favorite shows as soon as they are aired. I mostly enjoy slice-of-life and comedy shows but on some rare occasions totally different kinds of shows might catch my eye (i.e. Kill la Kill). But now on to the list we go!

Spring leftovers:

Shokugeki no Souma
(comedy, ecchi, school, shounen)

The story centers on Yukihira Souma, a middle school student who is determined to surpass his father’s culinary skills. One day, his father decides to close down their family restaurant and hone his skills in Europe. Before leaving he enrolls Souma in an elite culinary school that is extremely difficult to enter with a graduation rate of only 10 percent. Will Souma be able to improve his skills, or will the kitchen prove to be too hot?

OMG this show is so brilliant!! Pat has read the manga and when he showed me the first episode of the anime adaptation of it I was instantly hooked! This anime is so extravagant and the animation is  top notch! All the main characters are funny, lovely (♥ Tadokoro ♥) and well balanced with each other, and the food looks absolutely delicious! If I have to say something negative about the series, it's the fact that this anime will make you hungry! Haha! If you've yet to know what a foodgasm is, you'll learn about it after the first episode of SnS!

Ore Monogatari!!
(comedy, slice of life, romance, school, shoujo)

Takeo Gouda is a giant guy with a giant heart. He spends his days peacefully with his super-popular-with-girls, yet insensitive childhood friend, Sunagawa. But one day when Takeo saves a girl named Yamato from a harasser on the train, his love life suddenly takes an incredible turn! Could this be the beginning of spring for Takeo?

This anime reminds me of Pat and me in so many ways, that there just isn't any other option than to love the show! I know it might be silly to compare your own relationship with some anime, but for me it makes the anime even more interesting and special if it has similarities with my life. (>w<) The story itself is really light and every episode just makes you smile like a jerk from the beginning to the end. Takeo's and Yamato's  relationship is so goddamn adorable that it makes me feel super warm and fuzzy on the inside every friggin' time! I hope this show never ends! Haha!

New titles:

Himouto! Umaru-chan
(comedy, slice of life, school)

Umaru is a renowned beautiful 16-year-old girl in town, living with her elder brother Taihei. She acts a perfect sister with a kind heart, intelligence and popularity, who everybody admires. So who would believe how true Umaru is at home? Sleeping, gaming, watching TV, eating junk food, drinking cola… that's almost all she does at home, leaving all the housework to her brother.

Pat says that this show is an accurate documentation of my life! XD And I must admit that I see a lot of similarities in my and Umaru's personalities... Don't know if that's a good thing, though! Ehehe... Anyhow, Umaru-chan is a great comedy and fun to watch! There's only two episodes out so I don't know much about the story yet and I have only read few volumes of the manga as well. Video games,  closet otaku, junk food, funny jokes... what else do you need? This is one of my favorite anime for this summer! (( I even pre-ordered Umaru nendoroid before I knew nothing about the series! ))

Gakkou Gurashi!
(mystery, horror, school, slice of life, supernatural)

Takeya Yuki is in love with the school. For her, it's a wonderful place, where she enjoys her school activities, especially the activities of her club: School Life Club. The club has Rii-chan as the president, Kurumi-chan as another member, and the teacher, Megu-nee, always there for them. Yes, she is in love with her school... in her mind. Because, for her, the reality of the school and their club's activities is way too hard to be perceived...

I've only seen the first episode of this but it was really enjoyable! And kinda shocking at the end of the episode, so it left me wanted to know more... right now! I don't know if this is going to be an upbeat, happy-go-lucky anime or a some sort of horror drama so I'm really curious about this one! At least the characters are super cute (the main character looks like a young Sonico! >3<).

* * * * * * * * * *

Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai
(comedy, ecchi, school)

Sixteen years after the "Law for Public Order and Morals in Healthy Child-Raising" banned coarse language in the country, Tanukichi Okuma enrolls in the country's leading elite public morals school and is soon invited into the Anti-Societal Organization (SOX) by its founder, Ayame Kajou. As a member blackmailed into joining by Ayame, Tanukichi ends up taking part in obscene acts of terrorism against the talented student council president Anna (for whom Tanukichi has a crush on).

After the first episode I think this will be the funnies anime on this season! There is a lot of dirty jokes and perverted humor without it being too gross. XD The other main protagonist is a girl with a panties on her face so it can't be nothing else than a great fun! I don't know much about the story yet, but if you don't get upset about dirty jokes I really recommend to check this one out! Laughs guaranteed!

* * * * * * * * * *

Kangoku Gakuen 
(comedy, ecchi, school)

On the outskirts of Tokyo stands Hachimitsu Private Academy, a storied all-girls boarding school for elite young women full of potential and good breeding. But as the new school year rolls around, one tradition is going out the window: For the first time in the school's long history, boys are being allowed to enroll. But on the first day of school, only five boys make the cut. Kiyoshi Fujino, one of the lucky few, is thrilled by this discovery, his heart leaping with joy at the thought of being surrounded by all those girls, day in and day out. But little does he know of the shocking fate that awaits him.

I have read the manga which is a combination of funny and sometimes really dirty things, so I'm eager to see how loyal this anime will be to the original work. XD The first episode was fun to watch and the characters were much like in the manga! The facial expressions were almost identical which is a great detail in my opinion! But now I just want to see how far the anime adaptation dares to go... Haha! 

* * * * * * * * * *

Bikini Warriors
(action, comedy, ecchi, fantasy)

Set in an RPG world with swords and magic, warriors must form a party to defeat the demon lord. But, these warriors are all wearing Bikini armor!

I knew right away that this is going to be a perfect anime for me! Pretty girls with big boobies and almost nothing to wear! Perfect! Haha! No but seriously I was surprised how funny this short series actually was! The episodes runs about 4 minutes so it's quick fun for everyone! I would love to show the first episode to all the feminists who complain about female characters armors (in games or in anime/cartoons/movies) which shows too much skin, and see how they react to it! I'm an awful person I know... Sorry! XD

* * * * * * * * * *

Other series I watch:

Miss Monochrome - The Animation 2: Cute and fun short series!
Wakaba*Girl: Super cute and kawaii and rainbows and lollipops! Really laid-back series!
Wooser no Sono Higurashi: Mugen-hen: Second season of Wooser! Funny and quite "no rhyme no reason" series.

What are you watching on this season?

  1. Harmittaa kun ei tullut otettua katsontaan tuota Ore no Monogataria keväällä, tulee aina isompi kynnys katsoa kun sarjasta on ilmestynyt monta jaksoa ja pitäisi maratoonata >3< Mutta noi hahmot ja tarina vaikuttaa niin symppikselle että pakko jossain vaiheessa nähdä!

    Hahah toi pantsupää-anime vaikuttaa kyllä hauskalle, pitää tsekata toi eka jakso jos ottaisi vielä sen katsontalistalle XD

    Prison School! ♥ #Hype

    1. Ore Monogatari on niiiiiiiiiiin ihana!! Siitä tulee niin hyvälle mielelle ku sitä kattoo! Ja sit tekee aina mieli halia Patea jokasen jakson jälkeen ja käpertyy kainaloon! (>3<)

      Shimoneta on ihan sika hauska!! Mut siitä löytyy sekä sensuroitua että sensuroimatonta versiota. Me katottiin tottakI sensuroimaton! XD Kannattaa ainaki vilkasta ekaa jaksoa!

  2. Mulla on aika lyhkäinen lista: Akagami no Shirayuki-Hime, Idolmaster Cinderella Girls ja Overlord. Overlord kannattaa kurkata jos tykkää peleistä, se on aika hulvaton xD <3

    1. Me katottiin eka jakso Overlordia Paten kanssa just eilen! Pate tykästy siihen tosi paljon mut mul on vielä vähän sellaset 'meh'-fiilikset siitä mut täytyy kyl varmaan ainakin vielä pari jaksoa kattoa eteenpäin ennenku tuomitsee sen lopullisesti! ^w^

  3. Mulla on vielä toistaiseksi aikas pitkä lista... Oon pulassa, kun kesäloma loppuu, jos nää kaikki osoittautuu hyviksi ;_; Akagami no Shirayuki-Hime, Overlord, Ore monogatari, Gakkou gurashi, Wakaba girl, Shimoneta, Prison school, Aoharu x kikanjuu, Rokka no yuusha, Classroom crisis, God eater (voi olla yksi, joka tippuu katsottavien listalta...), Sore ga seiyuu (tämäkin voi jäädä kesken), Gangsta, Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite Kaku Tatakaeri, Junjou romantica 3, Monster musume, Non non biyori repeat, Makura no danshi ja Charlotte on tällä hetkellä seurannassa ^^;

    Toi Gate vaikuttaa ihan mielenkiintoiselta tapaukselta. Jos on kattonu aikoinaan Tähtiporttia (Stargate SG-1), niin tää on vähän saman tyylinen, paitsi että portin toiselta puolelta paljastuukin tietysti gootti lolitoja ja haltia-tytsyjä muukalaisrotujen sijaan :D
    Tämän kauden muistettavin tapaus on varmasti toi Prison School XD Shimoneta tulee heti hyvänä kakkosena :)
    Vitsit, pitäisi kuroa kiinni vielä tuota Shokugeki no Soumaa, kun nyt neljä jaksoa katsottuani, se alkaakin kiinnostamaan X3

    1. Me katotaan kanssa Monster Musumea, mut se on vähän vielä sellanen et en tiiä onko se jopa vähän liikaa vai onko se oikeesti viihdyttävä. XDD Pakko sitä on kuitenki kattoa!

      Vilkastiin tona GATE:n alkua ja se vaikutti mun makuun liian vakavalta ja sotaisalta, mut nyt kun selitit sen noin niin se alkokin vähän kiinnostamaan. Ehkä täytyy lisätä se katsottavien listaan!

      Kannattaa kattoa Shokugeki no Soumaa, se vaan paranee jakso jaksolta!! Toivon vaan ettei siitä tuu mitään seuraavaa Dragon Ball/Naruto/One piece/Toriko-seuraajaa, et se sarja ei sit lopu ikinä... Shounen jump sarjoista kun ei aina tiedä. XD

  4. Taidanpas hyödyntää tätä listaa joskus! 8D

    Joo, ja mikäli komediasta pidät, käy kurkkaamassa Axis Powers Hetalia. Sitä voi olla aluks vaikee ymmärtää, mutta siihen pääsee kyllä mukaan ku katsoo tarpeeks. Koko ohjelmahan kertoo maita edustavista ihmisistä, jotka sähläävät. Plussaa on myös se, että sarjassa on Suomi!

    Että joo, suosittelen.

    Rakastan tätä blogia btw ;u;
