Two Sides of the Same Coin

I mentioned before about how 2 of the shows I'm watching have very close similarities... Well, 4 episodes in and it seems that they continue to have similarities...

The Asterisk War and Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry are 2 sides of the same coin IMO.

TAW MC (Ayato) - Younger brother looking for his older sister in a magic school. Has his powers bound by his older sister but no clear idea why yet.

RKC MC (Ikki)- Newest generation of historically powerful Magical Knights but was born with very low magical aptitude and shunned by most of his family. 

TAW Love Interest (Julis)- Seen by MC on first day of arrival in her underwear while getting dressed. Gets super pissed and tries to kill him.

RKC Love Interest (Stella)- Seen by MC on first day of arrival in her underwear while getting dressed in their room (they are roommates and didnt know). She slaps him and then challenges him to a duel where his life and freedom are on the line.

And the hits keep coming... Both MC have super strong abilities that have a drawback. Ayato is completely OP but the seal on his powers put there by his sister limits them by time and afterwards he passes out. Ikki has low magical abilities but has trained himself to be able to unlock his physical limiter and be super fast and powerful... Itto Shura I believe he calls it. After its over (only a minute or two does it last) he also falls knocked out by the physical strain on his body. 

I intend to continue with these 2 shows til the end and if anything else that seems eerily familiar show up I'll come back and edit this post.

A New Season is Upon US!!!

Holy shit... Its time for another new season and a slew of new shows to digest. This one seems incredibly full of possibilities... A few of which I have already started to watch... Lets hop right in!!

1st up... Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans. I've watched ep 1 and like most gundam shows I'm already a fan. Lots of possibilities with the plot and I like where the show started. Good looking show that I intend to watch all the way through.

2nd and 3rd on the block - The Asterisk War and Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry. Both these shows involve a special school for youngsters with abilities that have to fight in tournaments. The MC of both end up seeing their love interest in the buff in the opening episode and end up fighting and defeating them even though they are supposed to be inferior. Good stories and nice animation. I have been reading the Cavalry manga and Its been good so far.

At 4th is Heavy Object. This show is about war thats no longer fought by people but through Objects. Large war machines that have super advanced weaponry. Appears the MC is a student engineer learning about the Objects and making friends with a Princess who pilots one.

In at 5th is Lance N' Masques. Simple show about a kid who has a white knight complex that he cant control. When he sees a lady in trouble he has to go to her aid. He finds a lil girl who needs his help and shes the daughter of a major conglomerate.

Lastly to be getting watched is Testament of Sister New Devil Season 2. Nothing to really talk about with this one... Its season 2 of a show I enjoyed the first time around.

Fringe shows that have piqued my interest but I'm not all in just yet....

Beautiful Bones -Sakurako's Investigation-. Kind of seems like Bones the TV show. The MC loves bones and appears to be a forensic anthropologist of some sorts. Pretty decent story and nice animation. There's a hint of comedy so I may watch more.

Komori-san Can't Decline! - Saw 1 ep and its shorts... like 8 to 10 minutes I think. Very cute and simple with no big plots.

There are a few more shows I'm watching but I'll leave them for another time...
