Seeing as I had no confidence in the summer season, I decided to invent a backlog of shows to watch from one of three different areas. The twelfth anime on this list was Meganebu!, which aired in the fall of 2013. I had previously watched the first two episodes of this anime before dropping it. I watched the show over a period of a two days, and these are my thoughts on it. Continue reading The Lost Backlog of Summer 2014 #12: Meganebu!

Meganebu!: A Quick Take
A group of 5 high school boys try to create X-Ray glasses so they can get their glasses club recognition during school eye tests. Led by Souma, the Meganebu now has their club meetings on the roof of their all boys school. They burn with a passion in their attempt to create X-Ray glasses for the purpose of seeing through women’s clothing. They get an opportunity to show off what they are able to do when their club advisor and teacher Shirogane announces they are having vision tests. That means that in their minds a woman eye doctor and a cute female nurse would be there to show off their work. Or would they?
A Look Ahead to the Fall and Why it Doesn’t Really Matter

I will get this statement of fact out of the way quickly. There are 47 series airing in the fall. Only 2 of them are continuations of series that began in the summer. One of them is Kingdom which doesn’t really count. When you have that many shows I think it’s kind of pointless to write a lot on each and every series. I think I wrote about 3000 words on 20 organizations engaging in a competitive business against each other over the course of 9 months. That’s the most distant description I could write of describing sport I could think of by the way.

I’m still going to look ahead to the coming season for the reason that it presents an interesting case. There is a hell of a lot of noise when it comes to looking at what’s being released. Light novel adaptations, sequels, sports anime, game adaptations and combinations of those 4 are the dominant shows. I think one can’t go wrong with a known quantity with this much going on. I don’t blame anyone for that because inevitably there’s going to be a ton of crap. Hidden gems are extremely unlikely because everything is known beforehand in this blogosphere. When a series is announced, it seems like a perception takes effect based on just a few facts about it and its either terrible, great or forgotten entirely. I’m still going to watch most of these to get an impression of where they are coming from and I present these to you knowing that I’m just as biased as everyone else. I’ll try to keep it short since I don’t think you want to 5000 word walls of text.
