The Anime Cafe Voting Thread #25

Rules are real simple, you vote for only TWO anime and there won't be any vote changes. Since the site still doesn't have the poll option, I want everyone to post your votes

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control

Spoiler

Genres: Action, Mystery, Super Power, Thriller

The Japanese government was rescued from the brink of financial collapse by the Sovereign Wealth Fund. For its citizens, however, life has not improved and unemployment, crime, suicide, and despair are rampant. Kimimaro, raised by his maternal aunt after the disappearance of his father and the death of his mother, is a scholarship student whose only dream is to live a stable, ordinary life. One day he meets a man who offers him a large sum of money if he will allow his "future" to be held as collateral. From then on his fate is radically altered as he's drawn into a mysterious realm known as the Financial District, where he must compete in weekly tournaments called "deals" in order to keep his money and avoid losing his future.

Shakugan no Shana

Spoiler

Genres: Action, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance, School, Super Power, Supernatural

He had thought his normal days would last forever, until they were ended abruptly by an encounter with a girl with red hair and eyes. He named her Shana.

Not long after he enters high school, Sakai Yuji’s normal days come to an end. He sees something bizarre on his way home: people are frozen in a strange fire, and a monster that looks like a large doll is attacking them. Just when he's about to be killed, a girl in a dark cloak wielding a large sword appears, and slices the monster in half. Although Yuji survives the strange encounter, the girl informs him of a desolate truth: " 'You' don't exist anymore."

She calls herself a Flame Haze who hunts "Guze no Tomogara"; intruders from another world. She explains to him that he is a "Torch", a substitute of Yuji whose “existence” has already been devoured. She also told him that he is a special Torch, "Mystes", which contains a precious item in it. When he looks at his chest, he sees within himself a faint flame, just as she said.

It is in this way that his eternal struggle alongside the girl begins.

Battle Girls: Time Paradox

Spoiler

Genres: Action, Comedy, Historical, Samurai, Sci-Fi, Super Power

Hideyoshino is an average girl who always seems to find trouble wherever she goes. One day Hideyoshino visits a local shrine to pray in order to pass her upcoming test. However Hideyoshino sees a blue light coming from inside the Shrine and looks inside to find a mysterious person performing a magic spell. Hideyoshino in a stroke of bad luck trips on a small bell and crashes into the shrine prompting the stranger to catch her. However upon catching Hideyoshino the magic spell spirals out of control and sends Hideyoshino back in time to the Sengoku Era.

Hideyoshino then encounters Akechi Mitsuhide and Oda Nobunaga. But unlike what really happened during the era, Hideyoshino realizes that everyone in the world is female. She then decides to help Oda Nobunaga find the Crimson Armor which is said to allow the person wearing the armor to conquer all of Japan.

Cromartie High School

Spoiler

Genres: Comedy, School, Shounen

Folks, meet Takashi Kamiyama. Enrolled at Cromartie High, where everybody is a delinquent, Kamiyama is apparently the only non-delinquent in the school. Logically, therefore, he must be the toughest in his class - by the rather twisted logic that only a really tough rabbit would lie down with lions. Thus begins a story that parodies every cliché of tough-guy anime that you've ever heard of, and some you haven't. Oh, and Freddie Mercury is in it, too.

Genshiken

Spoiler

Genres: Comedy, Parody, Slice of Life

Sasahara Kanji is a college freshman who decides to join a student society to share his hidden thoughts on manga, anime and gaming.

When he first visited Genshiken, short for "Gendai Shikaku Bunka Kenkyuu Kai" (Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture), his groundless pride was destroyed by the plotting of Madarame, a sophomore student in Genshiken, but he still couldn't admit that he is an otaku.

However, as he participates in society activities such as visiting dojin (private publishing) shops and anime festivals, and hangs out with other society members Kosaka (a hardcore otaku despite his extreme eccentricities and good looks), Kosaka's girlfriend Kasuga Saki (who isn't really an otaku), Ohno (a cosplayer) and the others, he opens his mind and resolves that he will make his way into the otaku world. With their help, Sasahara slowly adjusts to otaku life in Genshiken.

Poll will be open for 5 days.

 

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control & Battle Girls: Time Paradox

Notice who the series composition is done by? I've already seen this anime along with Baccano! & Durarara!! and I can honestly say you should give C Control a chance if you liked either Baccano! or Durarara!! or even better if you liked both. I can hardly wait to nominate the next anime I have been wanting to nominate. Hehe. >X)

And as a little bonus, something for the music lovers.

 

Shakugan No Shana and [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control

 

Oh man these choices...I don't know which to pick I would honestly watch all of them. Hmm. I'll wait until I finish what I'm watching now so I get a "feel" of what I'm in the mood for. As a side note I love the clothing (or lack of) on the girl on the cover of C Possibility Control. (What a mouthful)

This is not a vote.

 

C and Cromartie High School are my votes.
