Honestly, I don't really watch that much anime. I was the type to read manga instead and even then, I would generally stick to more slice of life or shoujo series. Ihave tried watching numerous popular series but I just could not get into them. Before this period, I don't think I had properly watched an anime series in about 5 years (until I started getting into Love Live, Madoka Magica and Sailor Moon) Now, with the new(ish) season, I decided to watch some new series that I'm actually enjoying a lot! So here are the shows that I am currently watching~
My Love Story
I was randomly browsing series and I came across this extremely odd looking thumbnail. I was like.. is this a joke series? From the first 10 minutes, I was hooked on this show. There is so much heart and sweetness to this show that it is impossible not to root for all of the characters. Takeo is a gentle giant, Yamato is extremely adorable and Sunakawa is one of the greatest friends. I really enjoy this series and their take on this unconventional first love.
Himouto! Umaru-chan
Like the above, from the first couple of minutes I was hooked on this show. It has a slightly cliche, bratty little sister dynamic but it's just so funny. Himouto is a ridiculous little character that I think all us nerds can relate to. Her friends are interesting and the dynamic between her and her brother are fun to watch. Very cute series with a lot of fun references.
SCHOOL-LIVE
This show takes on the zombie genre and twists it around a bit. The first couple of episodes were slow for me but it's definitely gaining traction. I have only made it to episode 5 so far, but I am interested to see how this series progresses. It feels like it will get darker from here on. Basically a slice of life show with zombies!
Wakakozake
A very short little series about a 26 year old Office Lady that enjoys various foods. The synopsis doesn't sound like much but there's something relaxing about these episodes. It also ends up making me hungry.
The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls
Okay! This one isn't exactly a new series but I decided to give it a try as I wanted something like Love Live to watch! I watched the original series and it was a little hard for me to get into so I didn't have high expectations for this series. I ended up really liking the first couple of episodes though! (I think my problem with original idolmaster, was that there was too many characters in the beginning for me to keep up with.) On the 3-4ish episodes, I also found out there was a rhythm game coming out so it made me want to watch more! I am about halfway through the first season and I know there is also a second season too.
