Neo Yokio

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.
Fashion aficionado Kaz Kaan rocks the pink hair look that just screams "anime protagonist." This melancholic demon hunter undertakes the task of becoming the ichiban bachelor on the top bachelor board. Together with his Aunt Agatha, he exorcises demons around the city of Neo Yokio. Will Kaz be able to get back together with his ex-girlfriend? Will he be able to get Neo Yokio's most famous fashion blogger out of her ennui? Will communism finally take root and spread in the city-state dedicated to capitalistic decadence? Find out in the latest addition to the zeitgeist: Neo Yokio.

Twin Angel Break

In Twin Angel Break, Mary wants nothing more than to see her beloved one more time. To accomplish this task, she dresses like a sexy ant and scuttles her way around a middle school parading as a nurse while picking on children and making them cry. Her comrade-in-arms, Billy Genius, overhears of this plan and decides to go along with it, because he really likes middle schoolers. He accidentally falls in love with a crossdressing boy and, through a series of coincidences, ends up marrying crossdresser in Japan's first ever gay marriage. 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). Mary commits suicide after learning she'll never see her beau again. Also there were some robots in there too. The show never did answer the one burning question: Why are they called Twin Angel when there's five of them?

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. That doesn't stop her from getting a job at an Italian restaurant and dreaming of one day becoming a high class chef preparing fine Italian cuisine! Of course, she comes no where close during the course of the show, but a girl can dream.

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.

March comes in like a lion

March comes in like a lion but out like a lamb. Completely unlike this lamb of a show. You know what's even more boring than shogi? A show about shogi. Main character Rei Kiriyama is sad about stuff. So he spends the entire show moping about. When he's not moping, he plays shogi. He's a professional shogi player. That's apparently a real thing.

Kiss Him, Not Me!

Kae Serinuma is a hot mess. After losing 100 pounds by forgetting to eat due to a depression caused by the death of her anime husbando, Kae becomes a reverse-harem protagonist. However, her only interest in boys comes from watching them bang each other. "Kiss Him, Not Me!" She tells each of her harem members. She's really into BL. She won't shut up about it. Eventually, one of the harem members convinces her to go on a date. The obvious location: The alpaca zoo. All alpacas and only alpacas.
