Anime 2018 Summer Season

'Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria' Ep.01 (The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar) https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/anime/1420/92951.jpg Synopsis: Some urban legends are best left untested! Yuuto Suou gets more than he bargained for when he joins his childhood friend Mitsuki Shimoya in testing out an urban legend. When he uses his phone to take a picture of himself with the local shrine's divine mirror, he is whisked off into another world—one heavily steeped in the lore of the old Norse myths. Using his knowledge gained from school and from his solar-powered smartphone, he has the chance to bring the Wolf Clan, the same people who cared for him, to prominence, all while earning the adoration of a group of magic-wielding warrior maidens known as the Einherjar. _________________________________________ Yet another harem fantasy anime where the main character gets sucked to another world. And he has a "solar" powered cellphone that still gets signal, even though he's supposed to be in the bronze age? Right... No plot hole there... I'm not sure what bugs me more, that, or the main character acting all innocent and pure.

'Ongaku Shoujo' Ep. 01 https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/anime/1811/91043.jpg Synopsis: There are eleven girls that consist the C-class Ongaku Shoujo idol unit under Pine Records. Despite generating red sales marks and not being very popular, Producer Ikebashi and the members are trying their very best to up their levels. Nevertheless, Ikebashi suggests recruiting a new member for Ongaku Shoujo; someone who can act as a catalyst for the success of the group. Thus, an audition was opened, leading to the soon-to-be legendary group's meeting to a girl named Hanako. _______________________ I'm going to be honest with you.... I didn't watch more than 30 seconds... Sometimes the synopsis is enough. Any who, here it is.

I really like Hataraku Saibou so far. It is like an anime version of microorganism. Educational, funny and a little bit of romance.

'Asobi Asobase' Ep. 01 https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/anime/1311/91372.jpg Synopsis: Hanako, an athletically proficient, yet thick-headed student with a weird fashion sense, plays a game with the American transfer student Olivia. However, their vigor irritated their classmate Kasuki who dislikes playing games since she has always been teased by her sister for being bad at them. With a turn of events, it was found out that Hanako is terrible at English. Thus, she asked her foreign classmate Olivia to help her, but Olivia, who is only born and raised in Japan with foreign parents, can't actually speak English at all! Watch over these three girls' surreal school-life comedy. ____________________________ Was that supposed to be funny? And the animation style wasn't cute at all. Maybe it's a culture thing?

I'll give it a shot. Might be something good later down the line. I mean it's hard to tell the whole story in one episode.

'Island' Ep. 02 In the second episode you get a bit more of the story about what's going on. So far my favorite character is the little miko/assassin. She is a pretty cute character except for the trying to kill him thing. And how do you test someone for having that disease without finding out the hard way with them bursting into flames?
