Metal Panic! The Second Raid 1-4
Hereafter refered to as "FMP!TSR" Outline: This is more of a
direct sequel to the first FMP series, rather than a followup to Fumoffu
(as far as I can gather). Sousuke's mission to protect Chidori is terminated
by Mithril, owever
there are still secret agencies out to try and get the "Black Technology"
from "Whispered" individuals like her.
Honey and Clover 1-4
Kind of a cute romantic comedy. Takemoto Yuuta, Mayama Takumi, and Morita
Shinobu are college students who share a small apartment. Even though
they live in poverty, the three of them are able to obtain pleasure
through small things in life. The story follows these characters' life
stories as poor college students, as well as their love lives when a
short but talented 18 year old girl called Hanamoto Hagumi appears.
Gakuen Alice 1-4
Cutsie magical-girl comedy show, seen comparisons drawn with shows like
CCS and Childs Toy Outline: In a small country school, Sakura Mikan
and Imai Hotaru are classmates and best friends - in their own way.
Ditzy,
emotional Mikan seems ill-matched with aloof, emotionless Hotaru, yet
they are together all the time... until Hotaru gets called away to study
at the strange and forbidding Alice Academy. In her anguish at being
left behind, Mikan finally decides to follow her friend - and doing
so, she makes a strange discovery.
Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu 1-3
Outline: Asaba Naoyuki is an ordinary high school student. As a member
of his school's press club, he's just spent the summer camping outside
the local military base, in hopes of seeing the UFOs that are secretly
kept
there, according to local legend. Returning to school, he meets a strange
girl, Iriya Kana, and gradually comes to realise that she is more than
merely strange
Suzuka 1-4
Don't be fooled, it's not a Love Hina clone...
Outline: To continue his studies, the young Yamato Akizuki has to go
and live with his aunt. He doesn't have to pay a rent but in exchanges
he has to maintain the residence. Besides having a public bath it's
also
occupied by three pretty tenants, Yuuka Saotome, Megumi Matsumoto and
Suzuka Asahina. Yamato falls quickly for the charm of the beautiful
and sporty Suzuka but alas for him everything separates them...
Zettai Shounen 1-3
Odd slow burner, Yokohama Shopping Log / Ghibli-ish
Outline: Aizawa Ayumu is a young boy, who is sent to a small town called
Tana to live with his father for a while. Ayumu used to live in Tana,
and now his memories of the time are shrouded in mystery - apparently
something happened when he was a child. Enter Miku, a young girl who
knows more than she tells, weird glowing lights floating around, reflections
of UFOish objects in the eyes of cats and dogs, a nosy female
announcer, a forest with a mysterious past, and a weird boy called Wakkun,
who wears the clothes Ayumu used to when he was a child, and you get
the world of Zettai Shonen, where mysteries remain mysteries amidst
a slow,
normal, everyday life.
Shuffle 1-4
Bit worried by the demon/human world merging thing (Overfiend anyone?),
but seems to be a cute comedy, nice elf-girls :-)
Outline: 10 years have passed since the three worlds of the humans,
gods and devils merged. Tsuchimi Rin is a highschool student who goes
to National Verbena Academy. He spends his time with his childhood friends
Fuyo Kaeda and Midoriba Itsuki. One day two beautiful girls from the
world of gods and devils
transfer to his class.
