Kannagi Review

I was in the mood for something cheery and fun after doing exams, so i picked up this series. First off, I am impressed! I picked this up just for the fun of it but, got something allot deeper then i expected. The characters are good, the chemistry is good, the animation is good and the humour is grand! It really set itself apart from generic school dramas with a well made plot and characters. I expected this to a harem anime but, i was dead wrong. It is very much just a school comedy with a slice of the supernatural, it reminded me of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya or School Rumble (Though the quality was no quiet as good as those two). Each episode gave me plenty to laugh at and the last few episodes showed it's more serious side with well crafted drama.

The biggest stregnths of this show was the humour and the characters. Unlike alot of anime the characters personalitys were not overexaggerated. Some of my favourites were Nagi, the Heronine of this show armed with a child like naitivity and a childish manner to back that up. Zange was a decent character, she created most of the tension of this show though she loses points for being a bit of a bitch (though her design and voice are both very cute >_<). Unlike allot of comedies these days, the males had some good personalities, like Daitetsu, he is the artistic giant who is misunderstood and likes cute things... Kind of like a male Sakaki to an extent. Akiba is also awesome, an Otaku with a fitting name. He is constantly informing other members of the cast that there views of the Otaku community is faulty but, then he goes to contradict himself. His ten minutes of ranting about anime are also amusing.

The animation reminded me ALLOT of K-ON, the resemblance is almost scary. It had the same kind of floppy feel to it, Kyoto must have "borrowed" this art style for their Moe Blob madness.

All in all it is a very good comedy and I would highly recommend this to any anime fan looking for a good laugh. Though, I am kind of annoyed that allot of the supernatural side was left unanswered especially regarding Zange.

I give this series 7.5/10

New Code Geass Project in the Works

Yes, you heard right. Bandai has announced a new Code Geass is the works and is coming to us in 2010. You would think a fan like me would happy at this news? God no, I am really nervous, I hope they don't taint the name of Code Geass. R2 had a really satisfying ending and if they stuff with that I will be pissed as hell!

Major spoilers inbound

Bandai never announced the what exactly is the new project but, it hasn't stopped fans taking wild guesses. It could be a range of things, a compilation movie, some OVAs telling side stories and hopefully NOT a sequel to the anime. One fan suggested that the mysterious new project is Code Geass shown from Nunnally's point of view... Wouldn't that be extremely easy to animate?



Another fan has suggested that it could be an anime adaption of the alernate world story from the Manga: Code Geass: The Nightmare of Nunnally which can be found here. Many fans have pointed out that that the word “rebirth” is present in the advertising of this new project and suggesting the rebirth of Lelouch or the return of Lelouch after staging his own death (The speculation of Lelouch's death opens up a another can of worms). When I first heard about the controversy regarding Lelouch's death I had to jump on the “He is not dead” bandwagon because it made for a good story but, my suspicions were cut down by the creator claiming he is in fact dead but, another fan suggested he said this because he didn't want to reveal his plans for a new project.


This news has sent the Otaku Community into a mad frenzy with many supporters and skeptics. All this hype will probably be just wasted on a couple of OVAs. We will See how this turns out.

And this is the Shit that we're missing out on...

CURSE YOU EXAMS.
