Fall 2012 Anime Update



A couple new Anime and more information on Psycho-Pass!

  • BTOOOM!

    Official Site: http://www.btooom.com/
    Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Psychological, Seinen
    Airs: October 4th on Tokyo MX @ 23:00
    Producers: Madhouse Studios
    Episodes: ?

    Notable Features:
    • Will try.

    Summary: The story centers around Ryūta Sakamoto, a NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) young man and a top-ranked player in the online combat game Btoom! One day, he wakes up on a tropical island without remembering how he got there. He sees a figure in the distance and asks for help. However, the figure responds by throwing something at Ryūta — a "BIM" bomb. In that moment, Ryūta comes to realize two things: one, his own life is in danger, and two, he is now in the world of Btoom!

    Preview: So the premise sounds really cheesy, and the trailer consists mostly of explosions. I expect this to be a waiting game Anime much like DBZ but with expertly placed bombs unbeknownst to the viewer to act as plot devices to extend already needlessly long battles. The ED is by May'n though, so I'll give it a try. Trailer mildly NSFW. Dem bombs...


  • Teekyuu

    Official Site: http://www.btooom.com/
    Genre: Comedy, School, Shounen, Sports
    Airs: October 7th on Tokyo MX @ 22:27
    Producers: MAPPA
    Episodes: ?

    Notable Features:
    • Will not watch.

    Summary: Teekyuu is based on a sports comedy manga of the same name featuring four high school girls who belong to a tennis club. Though they hardly play any tennis.

    Preview: Another moe tennis Anime, this one will probably be more like K-ON than Softenni though more than likely.


  • Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de

    Official Site: http://aoisekai.net/anime.html
    Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Parody, Shounen
    Airs: ?
    Producers: ?
    Episodes: ?

    Notable Features:
    • Will try.

    Summary: Segua Kingdom has been losing the war against Ninterdo Empire but the tables are turned by the appearance of a boy called Gear. All the characters are parodies of Nintendo or Sega games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda etc.

    Preview: Okay... This could be fun if done well, but the 6/10 the manga has on MAL inspires much doubt. I'll try one episode.



Finally, we have some information on PSYCHO-PASS! This trailer details some voice talent (see ANN for translation).



The story features Shinya Kōgami, a crime enforcement officer in a futuristic world where one can basically read anyone's mind by running a Psycho-Pass.
