If I ran the AJAS Playlist

I am at AJAS tonight writing this in a dark lecture theatre with Anime playing. It’s not one I’m majorly into so I don’t mind typing this through it.

The AJAS playlist as it is currently is, how do you say, learning toward a certain genre. Of the seven shows that are being played, 1 is a “slice of life” (Non Non Biyuri Repeat), 1 is science fiction (Charlotte), 1 is action based (Durarara!! x2), 1 is a Mech Anime (Knights of Sidonia S2) and THREE are all fantasy (Arslan Seniki, Seven Deadly Sins and GATE). I guess the guy running the playlist must really like fantasy Anime.

So what would I had picked if I were doing the playlist?

First off I would keep Non Non Biyuri Repeat. It’s brilliant. It’s also as close to an Anine of Yotsubato that we’re ever going to get! So that’s one Anime down and six to go.

Next i would also keep Arslan Seniki as the fantasy Anime. It’s an epic about two waring nations and one prince who has tasked himself in ending the war and uniting everyone under one banner. But I do have the feeling it’s going to end in a Deus ex Machina.

So that’s Slice of life and Fantasy planned out. But what about the Action? I still go with Durarara!! x2. Why wouldn’t you? Though it is definitely a very a big investment. Not as much of an Investment as Bacano was but it is stil alot of plots that overlap each other.

Want a Sci fi? I’d still go with Charlotte but I’m a bit on the fence with this one. It’s an interesting concept. Some people get supernatural abilities when they hit puberty. In rder to escape prejudice and medical testing they stick togethor in a special high school and help each other out. Think X-Men but in a high school.

Of course all those are already on the AJAS playlist. What about something different?

Next off I would go for an Anime about making Anime! Or to be more specific, Voicing Anime! That’s why I would pick Sore ga Seiyuu! It’s a show about three grirls who are up and coming voice actors in the Seiyuu buisness and the strugules they are going through to make it. It’s also really informative as to how Anime is voiced in Japan.

I would then move on to Iron Chef the Anime! Or more specifically, Shokugeki no Soma! It covers a 1st year student who wants to be a chef, just like his father. So his dad sends him to a specialist cooking high school. One that Elite, rich in culinary tradition and brutal to it’s students. They are always facing of their talents creating the greatest food possible. The food porn is strong in this show but they take it to another level with FOOD ORGASMS!

Finally this last one I haven’t seen but I would still give it a go. Kangoku Gakuen Prison School. I’ll just cut and paste the synopsis for this one. Hachimitsu Private Academy was a revered and elite all-girls' boarding school on the outskirts of Tokyo...once upon a time. But with the new school year comes a revision to school policy: Boys are to be admitted into the student body for the first time ever. But on his first day at Hachimitsu, Kiyoshi Fujino discovers that he's one of only five boys enrolled at the school. Their numbers overwhelmed by the thousand girls in the student body, is it heaven or hell that awaits these five (un)fortunates?!

Oh, now there’s a show I actually want to watch that has started so I’ll end it here.

So Until Tomorrow,

Have Fun and Stay Sexy!
