Anime Name - Hataraku Maou-sama! Aired - Apr 4, 2013 to June 27, 2013
Episodes - 13 Produced By - White Fox
Staff - Naoto Hosoda (Director), Satoshi Wagahara (Original Creator), Atsushi Ikariya (Original Character Design, Chief Animation Director)
What if the devil lost almost all of his power and was forced to live in modern world? What if the hero came to defeat him and was actually a really bad tempered yelling girl? What if the devil didn't really have any skills and was forced to work as a part-timer at MgRonalds to earn his living? Yeah, it really sounds like a hilarious situation and that's how this anime is. The writer does try to throw in some random romance or emotional stuff but this show really shines through it's comedy mainly and on that regard it really is one of the best comedies of 2013.
Manga Name : Ace of Diamond Author: Terajima, Yuuji (Story & Art)
Serialization:Shounen Magazine (Weekly)
Genres: Comedy, School, Shounen, Sports Status: Ongoing (39 Volumes in Japan) Published: May 17, 2006 to ?
Translated So far: 143 Chapters (16+ Volumes)
This manga is still ongoing in Japan and I have read the translated chapters from various groups, so first of all I would like to thank all the groups responsible for translating this manga without whom I would not have been able to read it at all. Thank you guys and hope you continue translating this.
Sports mangas are usually written to cater to a specific fan of the sports related and frankly I had never been a fan of Baseball. I somehow felt like reading some of the mangas of the fall 2013 animes before watching the shows and somehow picked up "Ace of Diamond" cause I felt like reading something about sports. While this hasn't really blown me away and quite typical in its setting as far as I can tell yet somehow it does what it tries to do quite well and after reading the translated chapters I am quite hooked and waiting for the next chapters.

PS 1 -
Most of these combos were a product of research during when I was trying out SS3, SS5 & SS5sp for flashy Genjuro stuff & fooled around with other characters out of boredom. SS1 & SS2 combos are something I tried out after "0supermoose" requested a SS series cmv. This cmv is kind of a left-over plus request thing and is dedicated to - 0supermoose.

Anime Name - Senyuu Aired - Jan 9, 2013 to Apr 3, 2013
Episodes - 13 Produced By - Ordet, LIDEN FILMS Staff - Yutaka Yamamoto (Director), Robinson Haruhara (Original Creator), Ushio Tazawa (Character Design), JAM Project (Theme Song Performance)
Shorts are quite rare in Anime, and as like majority of the shorts Senyuu is a gag or comedy short in its core. But what is unique about this show is that it is based on a fantasy settings which is even more rare in shorts. Unlike many other shorts Senyuu has one other criteria that is although it tries to parody the fantasy world setting in overall it also tries to have a continuity (rather then being self contained episodes) and tries to tell a short yet somewhat coherent (somewhat comes to mind mostly due to ridiculously comic sequences) story. And that is what I find enjoyable and also an appreciable effort for this series.
Genres:
Mystery, Drama, Romance, School, Slice of Life, Psychological, Seinen Volumes: 3 Chapters: 27
Status: Finished Published: Jul 2, 2010 to Dec 31, 2010
Day to day our society is becoming more realistic, more competitive & our lives are becoming more and more structured, directed toward a certain goal. To prosper in this world there is quite often no room for what one want's but almost always our path is focused towards what we need to do to be a respectable member of the community. In this modernized viewpoint there is no room for someone who does not want to grow up, children are forced to build up their life focused towards being a successful professional, whether they want to be that or not. Annarasumanara is the story of someone deciding to not grow up, its the story of never forgetting or giving up one's dream, the story of what this pressure can do to someone & the story of the beauty of magic in its many forms in our modern society.
My newest combo video & first multi-game combo exhibition. Hopefully there will be more in the future.

1. I believe the AODK combos are the first combos of this game ever published, they are 100% legit, you need opponent life at red to perform super move in the game & when you fall on flamed are you can't block till the flame quenches, I used this trick among others for the combos. I might do transcript for these combos in the future.
2. Some other combos from other games need specific set-ups, timing & conditions but all are totally legit. If you have any question regarding any combos please don't hesitate to ask.
3. Some of these are totally new & others are improvements over previous combos/set-ups ( I used my combo video collection on my Hard disc & youtube to do my research on that).

Instead of doing reviews for stuff or combo videos this is a new kind of post for me. This time I am gonna post about the animes that I am interested to watch of Fall 2013. These are strictly my views, so you guys may agree or disagree, but please feel free to give your comments & opinions regarding this post. The animes are in alphabetical order & is not listed as per any other category.
BlazBlue: Alter Memory
A fighting game anime, as you know from my blog I am a big fighting game fan, and BlazBlue is definitely one of the better games of the new emergence of fighting games. More to boost my expectation is the fact that the game also does have good storyline, which is quite rare in the fighting game genre. It is also from Arc System Works who are also the makers of Guilty Gear, this company is also particularly know for there good sense in background music and over all rocking soundtracks, so I am also hoping for something good in that aspect.
Diamond no Ace
Ok, what's so special about a sports anime you might ask? Aren't they all kind of generic with the protagonist goes through match after match to learn beating all & tries to be the best in the business, has a few rival who him beats at the end etc etc? Well I would say this anime is almost like that, but as I have read through the translated manga I can also tell you not quite, this is a bit different, yes the hero is very much alike most other hard-working shounen heroes, yes other cast members are also quite like typical shounen cast, but despite everything somehow the characters are all quite likeable & one other thing this manga did was made someone like me who never watched a single Baseball game interested in the sports. And there is also the fact that this anime is made by Production I.G. So I expect a top notch animation too.
Golden Time
Though I am not actually that much of a romcom fan but I am interested in this for 3 reasons & 3 reasons only; one, it is done by the writer of Toradora , I really loved that light novel; two, for the fact that this anime is not on a school setting for once, its on a college; three, I started reading the first volume of this light novel (translated, from baka-tsuki, thanks guys, visit this awesome site people & support them) & so far it feels quite unique and enjoyable & the writing style is quite good (the translation is top notch too, thanks to baka-tsuki again).
Kill La Kill
One of the most hyped shows of this season. And why not, it has got the oh so popular combo of school & action. And its also form Trigger who were behind "Gurren Lagann". I am interested in this for Trigger's involvement cause honestly I had my share of the mentioned combo so if not for Trigger I would have though it might not be anything special.
Log Horizon
I will watch this cause I love rpg's, I love them very much & there is so much memory of me spending countless hours on rpgs. So I believe I do deserve to spend hours watching shows based on rpgs too. I do hope this will be good though & that these feels more like playing a game than watching a show. And somehow I am almost quite certain that this show will not live up to my expectations. Oh well, one can dream, can't one?
Pupa
This is the story of the brother & sister Utsutsu and Yume Hasegawa. One day Yume sees a mysterious red butterfly & her body undergoes a strange metamorphosis, she turns into a creature that eats human. Her brother struggles to find a way to restore her to normal. Tell me that synopsis doesn't interest you? This anime gives me the vibe of psychological horror that I enjoy so much in my TV shows and animes. I really have high hopes for this show, but sadly no one knows when this will air or even if it will.
Btw, I still haven't found any sites to download the translated first volume of this manga, so if anyone can point me in the right direction I will be very much grateful.
These are the shows I am mostly interested in this season. I might also watch Coppelion(seinen+post-apocalyptic, could be good), Kuroko no Basket 2 ( Production I.G. & have heard good things, have to watch the first season before though), Magi: The Kingdom of Magic (the premise is promising, need to watch the first season though),Kyoukai no Kanata (second most hyped show of the season),Yowamushi Pedal (this season I am somewhat feeling like watching sports shows somehow).
So that's about it, hope this season turns out to be a good one & hope to do reviews of some of the shows in the future.
