Asura Cryinâ€™

Another newbie for this season. Produced and animated by Seven Arcs, this thing is being directed by Keizou Kusakawa who also committed Inukami and Nanoha. By the looks of it a large part of the previous staffs also hooked along for the ride. For better or worse ... From what I've learned thus far and saw in the first ep, the story is gonna be 'bout a boring, laid back high schooler, who (due to writing cheats) turns out to be a unique chick magnet. Yey for originality ? Luckily there is some potential lurking. First of all, the seemingly No.1 chick seems to be a cosplaying ghost of someone previously dear to the protagonist (some lost memories, accident flashback and other shit kicks in on few occasions through out the first ep). Also, before we know it all sorts of crazy weapon or magic wielding psychos storm his house, seeking to claim a memento (a heavy ass metal suitcase) left by his older brother. Hell - we even get to see 2 small mechs before this week's fun ends. Further info claims that multi-dimensional shit and destroyed worlds will come into play later on. This thing has everything but the kitchen sink in it (miko, yakuza, lame-sounding religious organizations and mysterious senpai onee-san included) ... The art is kinda meh (taking the harem's cuteness level down a notch) but the sound seems solid. I would have preferred the first ep being a bit more serious/violent instead of audience-friendly but it was exciting nonetheless. Not that I'm overly impressed by this (sends off some major Index/Fate Stay Night vibes BTW) but I'm gonna give it a shot for 2 or 3 episodes. The way I see it, it can either go in the non_serious/harem/stupid protagonist direction (in which case I'm gonna drop it faster that you can say pedobear) or try to put all them story elements together and become a bit more serious. Besides - I know that there are people who like these types of shows more than I do. Time will tell ... Promo vid and the OP:

Aaah, another very excellent and awesome series.

I wonder why many people said this sux and not worth to watch, at least something like that >_>

I liked this series, cool music and stuff, story was nice as well. I'm not into VN's and i don't read Mangas.

Machina and Demons, looked cool combination.

Too lazy to describe anyhow this anime for wall of text W/E. The story could have been a bit brighter i guess or sumthing i dunno, something was missing thou.

8.8/10 still
