HATE FUN? Destructive Summer – Part 3

Needless

Looks to be the Kamen no Maid Guy/Princess Resurrection/Strawberry Panic! team on this. Who are basically the guys at Madhouse that make the stuff I’m not interested in. Based on a manga by Kami Imai.

Spice And Wolf

More light novel adaptin’ action in the manner in which you demanded! I, however, am still not interested in this dull show. Not this sequel to it.

Bakemonogatari

SHAFT adapt Nisio Isin’s supernatural novels about a school boy turned vampire turned back to school boy turned supernatural problem solver. Still waiting for SHAFT to do something that interests me storywise as much as their animation does. Don’t think this will be it.

Taishō-Era Baseball Girls

Another novel to anime transition. This time Atsushi Kagurazaka’s tale of 1920’s schoolgirls starting a baseball team. The anime appears to have wrung any last vestige of charm from the Sadaji Koike character designs of the characters from the novels.

Zan Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei

SHAFT return to their biggest success with this third TV series of Kôji Kumeta’s manga. Is this the first time SHAFT have had two series on at the same time? The original series of this is the show that made me want to like SHAFT more than I do. Stylistically they are exceptional, it is just the material they tend to adapt does nothing for me.

Hetalia Axis Powers

More of this anthropomorphised WWII nations nonsense. Will this one actually air on TV? Will I actually care?
