T
o be completely frank, I
did none too good with the
book learnin' at skool, but I
would have performed even worse
in
Assassination Classroom
,
lovingly known as the
Class 3E
.
Season 1, Part 1 introduces us
to the teacher, an alien who
resembles an overgrown balloon
animal, can move at the speed
of sound, and has just destroyed
70 per cent of the moon. So not
only do you need to focus on your
reading, writing and arithmetic,
you also need to brush up on your
assassination skills and kill the big
squid before he finishes the job.
Rounding off the second season
of the ubiquitous magical series,
Sailor Moon R, Part 2
sees Usagi
and co. take on the Black Moon
Clan and their ongoing plan to
destroy Crystal Tokyo. Now to
keep our fingers crossed for a local
release of season 3, Sailor Moon S.
The imaginatively named
Ghost
in the Shell:The New Movie
is, well, a new Ghost in the Shell
movie. That is to say, there have
been old Ghost in the Shell movies,
but this Ghost in the Shell movie
is a new one. This new movie
ties up the loose ends left in the
Pyrophoric Cult storyline of the
recent Arise 5 episode OVA, so
isn't actually a standalone film.
Regardless, it's always great to
see our pals from Section 9 and
beautifully animated as expected.
The fan favourite demonic duo of
Ciel and Sebastian return in
Black
Butler: Book of Circus, Season
3
.
At the behest of the Queen,
Ciel and Sebastian are summoned
to investigate the mysterious
disappearance of local children. This
leads the two to Noah's Ark Circus,
probably just because circuses
are generally creepy as all get
out. Prepare for the usual amount
of violence and veiled intimacy
because this is every bit the series
that you already know and love.
Other new anime titles to
look out for this month include
Kamisama Kiss: Season 2,
Mekakucity Actors: The Complete
Series, Tokyo Ghoul: Season Two,
The Boy And The Beast Collector’s
Edition, Fairy Tail Guild Collection
4 and Naruto – The Complete
Collection
.
Ghost in the Shell:The New Movie

Gosick
How the heck do you say it? Is it goss-ick?
Is it go-sick? Well I'll tell ya, it's how you'd
pronounce gothic in Japanese... kinda. The
silly part is that if you actually said "gothic" in
Japanese, it'd come out "goshikku".

Madlax
This is a completely personal dislike. It's
just... this title sounds like something that
helps you poop easier.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica
What a mouthful! The original title, Mahou
Shojo Madoka Magica, translates to Magical
Girl Madoka Magica, but why use English
when you can use Latin? Let go. It's a dead
language, along with Aramaic and 1337
speak!

The Severing Crime Edge
I kinda get it, sorta. I mean, I know what all
of those words are, I just don't understand
what they're doing next to each other.

The Legend of the Legendary
Heroes
Double the legend, double the the. I'm
quite sure this tale has been told at many a
drinking establishment at 2am on a Saturday.
With
Ghost in the Shell: The New
Movie
dropping this month, I
thought I'd look at questionable
titles, some of which actually
belong to really good series'!
