Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

Not to long ago, I enjoyed an anime that covered the life of a particular boy that had "no friends." This was due to his delinquent-like looks causing misunderstandings. One day, he stumbles upon the secret of a classmate - she has no real friends. The only friend she has is an "air friend" (like air guitar) named Tomo.

Because they have no friends and can't join any clubs, the girl decides to make her own club, the Neighbor Club, under the premise that they can learn to be good neighbors. With this, the stage is set for Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai.

The anime follows Kodaka, the delinquent-looking protagonist, during his life with the Neighbor Club. Originally, it starts off with just him and Yozora but over time, more members join hoping to learn how to make friends. The concept of the anime is pretty fun and strange (seeing as how they joined a club to learn how to make friends, and end up gaining them in the process without so much as realizing it).

Anyway, the first season of the anime ran some time ago, but currently the second season has aired a few episodes. So far, since the beginning of the series, there have been a lot of laughs and great moments, so all in all, it is a fun anime to get into. Unfortunately this anime is not on Crunchyroll, but it is on Hulu, so if you're interested, do check it out.

Winter Anime Season 2013!!

With the changing of the seasons comes also new seasons of anime. After the last episode of Sword Art Online finished, I have been wondering what will my next anime fixation be. Well, for this up and coming anime season (which is already under way actually), there are three series that have caught my eye (so far).

Firstly, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai will be airing its second season. This story follows "Neighbor Club", a club formed by a group of students that have a hard time making friends in an effort to practice and prepare for that exact task. Since I loved the first season and as a continuation, this anime really was something that I couldn't help but be excited about.

What if the hero in a particular story ended up allying himself with the demon lord? Well, in Maoyuu Mao Yuusha, the hero does just that. In a time when humans and demons are at war, the hero manages to get to the demon lord. However, he is surprised to find that the demon lord isn't exactly who he had expected. The demon lord explains that the war between the humans and demons is currently necessary, and she would like him to join her. This rather odd beginning to the story intrigued me, so I have decided to check this anime out. If this piqued your interest as well, you can watch this on anime on Crunchyroll.

Now I do not know what I was thinking when I decided to take a look at this next one. Love Live is about a group of girls that want to save their school from closing. The only way for them to do this is by garnering the interest of others to raise the enrollment rate of the school. When all seems lost, one girl pitches the idea of creating a idol club for the purpose of training school pop idols. It is this idea that will set the tone for the anime. There will be a lot of song and dance as these young girls go through in hopes of saving their school. This anime can also be viewed on Crunchyroll.

Other than those three, Blast of Tempest will be continuing its run along with Hunter x Hunter. Two other anime that I am watching. Still, I am unsure if there will be another anime that I will love as much as Sword Art Online. Hopefully, soon the continuation of that series will get green-lit.
