THIS IS NOT A TOURNAMENT ANIME OR A SOL ANIME.
IT IS AN ACTION ADVENTURE ON A GRAND SCALE.
Seriously, this show has more in common with Kill La Kill than anything else.
Except it's bloodier.
I won't talk much about the story, because it's difficult to discuss without mentioning spoilers as it is very complicated, but I will say that it does all make sense.
The main two characters meet in a tournament, get thrown together by circumstance, and then things get really gay.
So gay that the Big Bad says "lol ur gay" to them during the last fight.
Seriously. Quote "I see the chicks have become lovebirds" unquote.

Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid
(Anime)
add
Valkyrie Drive is not great.
Mirei Shikishima, the tall blonde Gyaru type is perfect, but everything else about this show is terrible. Look, I like Yuri. A lot. I just don't like Lolicon, rape, tentacles or BDSM, all of which this anime has in abundance. Valkyrie Drive is basically a high-budget hentai series with no crotch nudity. The characters are stupid (Except for Mirei) the fights are okay at best, and the sex scenes are weird. It's not good. I didn't finish it because it got too rape-y to be sexy anymore. Bottom line: Mirei deserved so much better than this.

Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox
(Anime)
add
This anime is better than it has any right to be.
Made to celebrate the tenth anniversary of a pachinko machine, Sengoku Otome is an anime whose brilliance lies in the fact that it knows it's terrible. This allows it to be silly and fun without taking itself seriously. It's very lighthearted, and has both surprisingly good writing and likeable characters. Some warnings: - This is a yuri anime, there are no men anywhere - There is some nudity, but less than you'd expect. Bottom line: This is a fun show, and not to be watched with expectations of drama or action.

Sengoku Collection
(Anime)
add
Sengoku Collection is a series of mostly unrelated short stories about samurai from another world wreaking havoc in this one. They do this not by fighting, but by being extremely eccentric.
Each episode focuses on one character who is usually not seen again after that, but they are all complete stories, so this is not really an issue. There is an overarching plot, but it's sort of in the background for the most part. Sengoku collection is full of yuri, so steer clear if you don't like that. Otherwise, it's a beautiful, if strange show, and I highly recommend it.

Strawberry Panic
(Anime)
add
Strawberry Panic is... Not good.
Not objectively good, anyway. The characters are flat, the plot nonsensical, and it suffers from several tragic flaws. The largest of these is that Shizuma comes off as very rapist like. Nagisa doesn't exactly resist her advances, but it's still really creepy. The other really big flaw is that the show's beta couple is unbelievably dull. You don't care about them and want them to go away whenever they are on screen. Now, I did say it was not /objectively/ good, and this is because Strawberry Panic is one of my absolute favourites because it's unambiguously Yuri. Lots of kissing and a fair amount ...

Sakura Trick

Do you like girls making out? If yes, this is the show for you. If not, you should watch something else.
Really that's all there is to this show. The characters are meh, the art is decent, the music is catchy as hell, and there is at least one kissing scene per episode. Personally, I loved this show. But that's because it caters directly to my tastes - I'm a big Yuri fan. Some more annoying aspects about the show are that it ends before much is resolved, doesn't really have much happen in it, and the backgrounds/extras are literally just linework on occasion, but the main couple ...

Mouretsu Pirates
(Anime)
add
Bodacious Space Pirates is anything but bodacious or piraty. It's about a girl coming of age as she balances work, school, and getting princesses to fall in love with her.
Two princesses and the daughter of another pirate captain. This show consists of mini arcs, which means that there are long periods of SOL followed by short bursts of action. Bodacious Space Pirates is a smart show. There is a lot of talking and thinking in it. The main character does not have any special powers except hard work and careful thinking, so don't expect a lot of brainless action. Oh, one other thing - This is not an ...

K-ON season 2 is a classic. It follows the adventures of the Light Music Club (A school pop/rock band) which consists of four girls in their last year of high school, and one girl in her second year.
This isn't a simple slice-of-life anime. Even though it's laid back, it's clear right from the beginning that all five girls know four will graduate this year and one will be left behind. There's a weight to the show that builds over the course of it, and it winds up being extremely emotional. K-ON is by no means a sad show - It hails from Manga Time Kirara, a magazine ...

Senki Zesshou Symphogear
(Anime)
add
Symphogear is the kind of experience that you'd get if you were watching Futari Wa PreCure and King of Braves GaoGaiGar at the same time while listening to Nana Mizuki music in one ear and Fripside in the other.
In short, it's AWESOME. But those that are expecting it to make sense will be badly disappointed. Gonna say this up front: The plot is stupid. It's /unbelievably/ stupid. This however doesn't matter because it's carried by loveable characters and awesome action scenes. Every episode has at least one fight scene, always with fight music, and the action is completely over the top. Bottom line: This is a show you will ... |
