Well over the last few days I've watched some of the new anime series that have been released this month. Namely they are Tenjo Tenge, Koi Kaze, Kyou Kara Maou, Monster, Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai, Midori no Hibi, Aishieru ze Baby and Shura no Toki. Who knows, there may be some other ones in there but I'm getting confused enough just remembering which ones I've already watched.

I'm about to review and give screen caps to them so stop reading if you don't want any spoilers ^__^

Tenjo Tenge:

Rating: 7.5/10

I've only seen the first episode, while I can't say it wasn't funny, I could see no important plot forming and it was full of fan-service... if this is the direction of the series, I'm not sure I'll continue watching it.

Basically, this first episode starts out with the introduction to Maya who is the leader of the high school's martial arts club and another member of the club, Masataka. Maya tells Masataka that her sister is new to the school this year and will be joining their club. As soon as Masataka meets Maya's younger sister, Aya, he falls in love. Meanwhile two other new students named Bob and Souichirou want it known to the students that the school is now under their rule, so they go beating up on all the guys... it's not long before they are interrupted by a small child (Maya) who tells them:

"Ok children, you've shown me that you're not weak. Now, lower your fists, or I'll have no choice but to fight you."

Souichirou pauses for a moment at her words then continues pummelling his latest victim.

"I should warn you: I am strong." She continues, not backing down.

Souichirou stops again, looking at the small girl, then calls to his friend who's somewhere behind him beating some other guy.

"Bob, some old-dilect speaking elementary school student is picking a fight with me. What should I do at a time like this?" he asks rather confused.

"I don't know." Bob replies, not really paying attention.

"I may look young, but I'm 17. Very well... if my looks affect your fighting, I'll make it a little easier for you." Maya says.

She then suddenly transforms into a very well built 17 year old girl before their eyes... that.. errr... could use a larger outfit ^__^;

Bob's still in the background obvious to what's happening while Souichirou is standing looking on in shock.

"Bob... what am I supposed to do when the elementary school girl turns into a sexy babe?

"I don't know." Bob replies again, too busy with his own fight.

That was about the funniest thing in the entire episode in my opinion... it continues on with him quickly losing the fight to the "sexy babe" by crashing out the window and falling through the roof of the girls shower room... where he meets the "sexy babes" younger sister. Aya immediately falls madly in love with him and from then on is constantly stalking him desperately trying to get him to eat her food... while he is desperately trying to escape her because he's nervous around girls. Blah blah blah, I don't want to give away the entire first episode (I pretty much did, lol) but that's the gist of the series so far.

I'll download more of the series but it really needs to get some sort of plot going.

Koi Kaze:

8/10

Some say this show is just about family love and interaction... others say it's incest... I say whatever. If you like the idea of a guy with a possible crush on a 14 year old girl when he's 12 years older than her... download this, if that's not enough, how about the fact that they are really brother and sister? How's that? Too much? Too little? *shrugs* There isn't much to elaborate on in the first episode besides that Koshiro, the guy, has never been in a relationship where he's "felt love for someone from the bottom of his heart" as his ex-girl friend tells him. Well rather she asks him if he has because she's surprised how easily he took their breaking up, but he doesn't reply so I take it as a no. The girl, Nanoka, has just been heartbroken, she's liked a guy for a long time and when she told him of her feelings he didn't feel the say way. Nanoka will be moving in with her father, and older brother (who happens to be Koshiro), since he lives in the same house. The two siblings haven't meet in many years and don't recognise eachother when they meet the first time. The second time they meet they end up going to an amusement park together as she's waiting to meet her father here and he... has nothing better to do? Who knows. So after they go to the park and have a fun time he's about to leave when his father comes running up saying he's surprised that the two are together but doesn't really give the idea a second thought as he walks on telling them to hurry up while they are standing there in shock. So the end of the first episode is with them finding out they are really brother and sister.

The last line of the episode is Koshiro thinking:
"Yes... I have... a younger sister."

Watch the series for yourself and decide what you think of their relationship. The show doesn't have much to it, but it keeps your interest.
