Nobunaga The Fool

Nobunaga The Fool is a new anime just released this January.  It features a cast of some interesting characters.  Jenne Kaguya d'Arc and Leonardo Da Vinci meet on one planet to meet their destinies on another planet.  Their fates lead them to an interesting young man and his comrades,  Oda Nobunaga (nicknamed 'the fool'), Akechi Mitsuhide and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

This anime is an interesting mashup of modern and ancient technologies.  The characters also share an interesting fusion of old and new world ideologies.  However, since the characters worlds are unique, all the ideas fit together nicely and their world doesn't feel awkward.

However, will this Noble's son, Nobunaga, be able to bring peace to this feuding world?  And with two worlds full of political alliances and war, will he have an honest chance at falling in love?

Nagi no Asukara - A Lull in the Sea - 凪のあすから

Nagi no Asukara is a breathtaking anime, due to one of it's surreal locations, under the sea.

A Lull in the Sea is about some high school friends that experience a rare event that threatens to pull them all apart forever.  Will they find each other again?  Will they be able to grow up with their families and those that they love?

Date A Live - デート・ア・ライブ - Dēto A Raibu

Date A Live is just now heading into it's second season.  The story follows a young man, Shido Itsuka, and his sister, Kotori Itsuka, as they try to save a group of young women who have immense power capable of destroying the world itself. 

The character designs are really well thought out and the coloring compliments the designs well.  The artwork and FX is consistent throughout the anime. The story line is still vague, but we will have to see how it develops in the second season.

I give Date A Live a 3.5 out of 5 at this time.

Nishi No Yoki Majo Astraea Testament - The Good Witch of the West

Nishi No Yoki Majo Astraea Testament or The Good Witch of the West is a great story for someone who loves fairy tales.  It has princesses, princes, assassination plots, dinosaur/ dragon types of creatures, strange two legged unicorns, a heathens struggle for knowledge and even a book burning!

The story elements are all there, character struggles, character development, a struggle for love and power, the famous threat of the end of the world.

The character designs are not very original, but some of the environment designs are really well done and interesting to look at. There are a number of eastern/ western hybrid designs in the story that are pretty neat to identify as well.

I really like that the story was wrapped up nice and neatly but if the author/ creators of this story ever want to return, they gave themselves an easy starting point without adding any loose ends.

I give Nishi No Yoki Majo Astrea Testament or The Good Witch of the West a 4 out of 5.

Spice and Wolf

Spice and Wolf feels like a cross between The Last Unicorn and Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - The Hero and The Demon King.  Which I think is a pretty beautiful match.  This anime features a travelling peddler and a rare, wise wolf and follows their journey together as they make their way North to a long forgotten town.

Spice and Wolf has successfully completed 2 seasons and now we are eagerly awaiting season 3.  

The artwork and colouring is a little darker than other animes but I think that really suits this anime as it feels like an ancient story.  The character development is really apparent, particularly in Lawrence, the peddler.  I am seeing it with the wolf as well, but I think the writers are putting that on a slightly longer timeline, which is fitting as the wolf lives much longer than humans. The story is also interesting to me because not only do they explore the mercantile trade in depth, the writers describe it in a historical context.

I believe the creators of Spice and Wolf set up a really good 'mood' with this anime and have been preserving it well throughout the stories development.  I give Spice and Wolf a 4 out of 5.
