GUGURE! KOKKURI-SAN

Living Ouija board and fox ghost, Kokkuri, had been relied on for centuries to answer any question mortals would dare ask. Now, thanks to the prevalence of Google and various other Internet search engines, Kokkuri can no longer stay in business. He's homeless and relies on government handouts until he's summoned by a self-proclaimed "living doll" and occult enthusiast Kohina Ichimatsu. Kohina forces the unemployed ghost to cook food, do chores, and answer mundane questions. How does he answer them? Google It! Kokkuri-san!

FLCL Progressive is like the original FLCL. But not as good. I think [adult swim] wasted their money trying to cash in on nostalgia.

Isekai Izakaya: Japanese Food From Another World

Isekai Izakaya is literally the same show as Restaurant to Another World. Seriously, did they think we wouldn't notice? It even aired right when Restaurant ended. But Isekai Izakaya doesn't have any cute girls in it, so it's way worse. I'm so sick of these knockoffs lacking the cute anime girls.

Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles

Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles. She loves them more than people. More than friends. More than life itself.

And so that's what she does every episode. Each time a new location, each one more seedier than the last.

Voice of the generation, Jaden Smith, teams up with creator Ezra Koenig to bring us anime's magnum opus: Neo Yokio. Neo Yokio manages to be a clever, scathing critique of capitalism, consumerism, and the lifestyle of the bourgeoisie and a brilliant gut-busting comedy satire that will not only give audiences the desire to machinate on ceasing the means of production but also a hunger for over-sized novelty Swiss chocolate.

Twin Angel eventually shows up and puts a stop to Mary's scheme (and say mazel tov over the marriage of their gender-bending friend).

Piacevole

Stepping off the popularity of Food Wars and Gourmet Girl Graffiti comes Piacevole, a show about Italian cooking. Nanase Morina has no experience cooking Italian meals. Or any experience cooking.... or busting tables or taking orders.

Fuuka

In the last episode, Fuuka gets hit by a truck and dies. LOL!

Spiritpact

Spiritpact is another one of those Chinese cartoons pretending to be an anime. It doesn't make any sense and it's overall pretty bad. I put more effort into this post than the studio put into the show.

Rilu Rilu Fairilu

Is Rilu Rilu Fairilu a lesson for children in the follies of totalitarianism? Or is it trying to brainwash kids into finding it acceptable? The entire concept of the show is about the working class fairilus being kept under close watch by their all-powerful, all-seeing godking Gaul. The main character dares to defy her mental conditioning and oftentimes attempts to escape into the human world. But the godking keeps preventing her, telling her how great Little Fairilu is. So it's hard to say which way the show is leaning. Will Lip be able to achieve her dream of mating with a human? Or will the all powerful Gaul prevent her escape?

Kemono Friends

Kemono Friends was originally developed by fifth-grader Tatsuki Shigenori using a Playstation 2 for a school biology presentation about different animals and their habitat around the globe. However, due to a DVD mix-up, Father Shigenori accidentally brought the project into his work at the Tokyo Broadcasting System and broadcast Kemono Friends all over Japan. Rather than admitting the mistake, TBS quickly hired the twelve-year-old Tatsuki and his two classmates to animate, write, direct, and voice-act eleven more episodes of Kemono Friends.
