I’m guessing they are going for a tearjerker on this one, but I’ll admit the concept is mysterious enough to have potential. Lights of ClioneĪ sick girl is moved to a hospital in a faraway town, then shortly thereafter two of her friends receive an invitation to a mysterious summer festival. I don’t know any more than that and I don’t care, moving on. For some reason this gives him super powers and the dozens of girls in the trailer all probably fall in love with him. Light Novel Adaptation by Production ReedĬandidate #2 for worst show of the season! This is the EXACT same plot as Konosuba (kid dies untimely death and is granted the option to live in an alternate world) except instead of spitefully wishing to drag a goddess down with him our hero wishes to keep his smartphone. Avoid at all costs unless you want the police raiding your hard drive later. ANYWAY, the premise itself isn’t necessarily bad if treated properly but watch the trailer and you can tell what demographic this is aimed at. Basically, the story of Supercell give or take 10 years.
#TOP ANIME 2017 SUMMER US SERIES#
Here Comes the Three Angels!Īlright, I declare candidate #1 for worst show of the Summer! I just made a joke about anime girls looking like they’re 10 years old and now we have a show where they’re actually 10! Yes, this series is about a high school vocaloid producer who gets coerced into using three fifth graders for vocalists in a band. I do wonder if they could take this a similar direction as say, Gunslinger Girl, that explores the implications of using children for this kind of thing but you and I both know that’s not going to happen. The trailer looks pretty serious and even violent so apparently there is actual espionage going on, but again that second half kicks in with the girls and all sorts of red flags go off. Princess PrincipalĪ group of girls working as spies in 19th century London sounds cool until you see the art and realize they’re all basically wearing maid costumes and look like they’re 10 years old. Or just watch the trailer and you’ll get the idea.
Unfortunately it gets so detailed that it’s a bit creepy, and it still falls prey to the usual anime school clichés Think somewhere in between the low key Interviews with Monster Girls and the oversexed actual Monster Girls series.
To this series’ credit, it takes a more subdued slice of life approach and tries to explain how the various types of monster deal with the practical issues of living human lives. Needless to say, the thirst for anime monster girls has been real for a long time. You can read Part 1 of the guide here and Part 2 here.ĭirector: Naoyuki Konno, Fumitoshi Oizakiįun fact: when Iro wrote about this manga way back when, it caught just the right part of tumblr and became one of our most viewed posts ever. That said, we do get two interesting western comic book collaborations with the stylish The Reflection: Wave One and Marvel Future Avengers, the spiritual successor to GLORIO cult favorite Disk Wars. Yes, this is where all the light novel trash ended up.
Better late than never, part 3 of our summer preview guide is finally here! I was mostly delayed by working on our anniversary posts but I’ll admit having my top three candidates for worst shows of the season in one post was not exactly helping either.
