Infinite Stratos (TV)




Themes: fanserviceharemMecha



Plot Summary: Infinite Stratos (IS), a weaponized exoskeleton system, has become the dominant tool of warfare and conflict. Unfortunately for the men in society, only women are able to operate Infinite Stratos... with very few exceptions. One of those exceptions is ORIMURA Ichika, an orphan raised by his older sister who is herself a famous IS pilot. When his compatibility with IS is discovered after he accidentally touches an IS at the age of 15, he's given a scholarship and enrolled in a school that specializes in training IS pilots. Which of course means an... intersting life surrounded by girls for this shy, unassuming boy.(source)


** Episode 12 only just recently came out sad to see this series end :(. i do hope they make a 2nd series, although it is a mecha anime it felt somewhat little different in the way the suits were piloted much more like the bubble gum crisis series which is another one of my favorites and one of the early series i actually bought on dvd.


This series is only 12 episodes long if you want a short enjoyable series to watch.

Fairy Tail (TV)


Plot Summary: Lucy is a 17-year-old girl, who wants to be a full-fledged mage. One day when visiting Harujion Town, she meets Natsu, a young man who gets sick easily by any type of transportation. But Natsu isnt just any ordinary kid, he's a member of one of the world's most infamous mage guilds: Fairy Tail.(source)

** Review **
What can i say i just like watching this one, it starts off with lucy wanting to get into a guild and get invited by a member Natsu of the Guild Fairy Tail, The guild is known for causing trouble aka (blowing / destroying) things. 

The Main part of the story so far to date is wizards known as Dragon Slayers, humans who have been trained by dragons to use magic, you might aswell say its a great honor to be trained by one since there are few in existence. and so the story is focused around Natsu trying to find the Dragon who trained him (Igneel).

Later on More Dragon Slayers Emerge and Display there powers, who intern are also looking for the Dragons which trained them.

While all this is going on alot of adventures happen along the way in the guild Fairy Tail from protecting Lucy from getting kidnapped to taking out a entire guild. 

I do have to say this has got me hooked, currently episode 72 has aired it can be found on http://www.crunchyroll.com (note members get to watch it as it comes out non members have to wait a week) but there are alternative methods aswell.

Looking forwarded to more episodes coming out.
