Synopsis
The story centers around Tsukimi Kurashita, a huge fan of jellyfish (kurage, a wordplay on the "kura/mi" and "tsuki/ge" in her name) and a girl who moves to Tokyo to become an illustrator. She moves into "Amamizukan," an apartment complex that is full of fujoshi (diehard female otaku) with a no-men-allowed rule. However, one day, Tsukimi invites a stylishly fashionable woman to stay at her room at Amamizukan — only to discover that the guest is not who "she" seems to be.

Yosuga no Sora

Rating: 2 ½

Review: How to ensure that cutting the sex out of your adult game won't tank your anime adaptation? Leave the sex in. After the death of their parents, Haruka Kasugano and his damaged sister Sora move to a small rural town that they once frequented as children. Haruka is determined to make the most of the move and wants very badly for Sora to do the same, but she's mortified by the lack of modern amenities like internet access and supermarkets and for reasons that remain unclear cannot bring herself to attend school or even leave the house much. Which leaves Haru to his own devices most of the day, which in Haru's case means charming the pants off of most of the local female population. Unfortunately for them, and Haru, Sora has no intention of letting anyone else have her brother.

Keeping the sex in Yosuga definitely has its benefits. It puts some real danger in the series' potential romantic entanglements, and the sexual tensions lead in some very disturbing directions, none of which the series shies away from. Haru and Sora's too-close relationship begins as merely creepy, but once the show introduces explicit sexual overtones, beginning with a very wrong childhood kiss, and you get something authentically unsettling. That fearlessness can make it rather easy to overrate Yosuga. The genuine shock value of Haru and Sora's relationship distracts from the ludicrously aboveboard harem-building that makes up the rest of the episode, and the frank sexuality of some of the other girls hides the fact that they all fit too easily into prefab character moulds like "the girl next door," "the class president," or "the heiress." If you really must have an unsettling romance, you'd be better served by visiting (or revisiting) Koi Kaze, which combines true fearlessness with razor writing, beautiful sentiment, and plenty of intellectual muscle. Leave this one for those with the stomach for its harem plotting.

Otome Yōkai Zakuro

Rating: 4

Review: Humor, romance, action. A novel setting and a dash of Japanese mythology. And comely characters, beautiful art and sleek animation to cover for the holes in its imagination. This is how anime should be. It's the Meiji Era in Japan. Japanese culture is just opening up to Western influences. Not everyone is pleased with the change; specifically the spirits (don't call them demons, that is way un-PC) who have traditionally dwelt in the nation. In an attempt to improve spirit/human relations the Japanese government and spirit elders decide to establish a Ministry of Spirit Affairs. It will be run by a select group of soldiers in tandem with ambassadors from the spirit world. Blunt man's man Riken Yoshinokazura, impulsive wunderkind Ganryu Hanakiri, and spirit-phobic ladies’ man Kei Agemaki are chosen to represent mankind, while the spirits carefully select four half-spirit girls—the most humanlike of the spirits—to represent them: spirited Zakuro, shy Susukihotaru, and mischievous twins Hozuki and Bonbori.

Naturally the girls and guys are immediately paired off—Zakuro with Kei, Susukihotaru with Riken, and the twins with Ganryu—and naturally romantic complications ensue. Even more naturally, something is causing normally tame demons to rampage, requiring the girls to do some exorcising. It is a very familiar arrangement—part shojo drama and part magical girl romp with a little demon action thrown in—and so charmingly executed that it hardly matters. Director Chiaki Kon (When They Cry) handles the adorable relationships with a light touch, navigating the series' pastel moods with surprising ease, while Mari Okada's script flirts openly with the premise's social subtext. The episode's climax, during which Kei's gory expectations of Zakuro's fighting prowess meet the lyrical reality of her spirit powers, mixes evolving relationships, shifting racial perceptions, and gorgeous visuals to stunning effect. A few clichés can't compete with that.

Psychic Detective Yakumo

Rating: 3

Review: Bee Train's stolid reworking of Manabu Kaminaga's supernatural mystery novels won't be blowing minds anytime soon, but it delivers the requisite sleuthing thrills and ghostly goings-on, and with an emotional bonus just big enough to justify its continued existence. The emotional bonus comes in the shape of Haruka Ozawa, a college student on her way to her school's Film Research Association. She isn't looking for filmmaking tips but rather for Yakumo Saitō. Yakumo is reputedly a psychic and Haruka has a possessed friend who could use some supernatural help. The meeting doesn't go well though. Yakumo wants rather a lot of cash to help and Haruka catches him conning money out of students with a fake card-guessing trick, ruining her faith in his abilities and his character. Yakumo, though, takes something approaching a shine to her. And just as well he does: it's soon deadly clear that the evil surrounding Haruka is very real and very human.

This isn't the first adaptation of Kanimaga's Yakumo novels. There're two manga adaptations, a live-action series, and even a play. This episode offers no compelling reason for that kind of popularity. Yakumo is kind of an ass, his powers are Sixth Sense cast-offs, and the mystery is poundingly obvious. Its biggest asset is Haruka, whose realistic strength of mind and little core of sadness allow her to carry the series' emotional heart with becoming ease. Of course, being an introductory episode, you can't expect it to dive straight into an extended mystery or vomit up all of Yakumo's nuances and secrets. And there are big hints at episode's end that nuances, secrets and continuous plotting are all in the offing. Unfortunately, unless director Tomoyuki Kurokawa does something about his screamingly unsubtle musical cues and dispiriting lack of visual imagination, it's unlikely that they'll ever push the series beyond solid competence.

Model City's Proposal for Collaboration Puts Yosuga no Sora Staff In Dilemma

According to the official websites of anime and game, Yosuga no Sora will participate in the autumn Shinto festival of Kabasaki Hachimangu Shrine and the arts of the anime will be exhibited there. Ashikaga City and Kabasaki Hachimangu are the model city and shrine of Yosuga no Sora.

Arts of Yosuga no Sora and the photos of Ashikaga City

A publicity staff of Sphere, the manufacturer of the game, tweeted that he has been very busy receiving inquiries from the commerce society, the city council, the board of education and the tourism association of Ashikaga City. Anime tourism has become a common method to promote the local cities. Sengoku BASARA and Lucky ☆ Star are successful examples. However, game manufacturers are always worrying about the antipathy against adult games among the general public. The publicity staff had a hard time to minimize the involvement in the festival and save face of Ashikaga City at the same time. He said he will take full responsibility for anything that would be evoked by Yosuga no Sora's attendance at the festival.

Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei
Vol. 4 Manga review
When the humor turns to the more fundamental aspects of human nature, however, that's when the series excels—and it does so plenty of times in this volume. Sometimes they're well-known foibles elevated to the point of absurdity, like the tendency to second-guess ourselves (which culminates in restarting the whole chapter), or how people always find a way to look down on others to make themselves feel better (the use of a Hinamatsuri doll display as a metaphor makes it bizarre and memorable). Other times, they're the weird little things that Kôji Kumeta points out just to mess around: counting back 40 weeks from your birthday to figure out when you were conceived, or the sheer number of pointless qualification exams that exist in Japan. And some of the best gags are the ones where Zetsubou-sensei's students take over: obsessive-compulsive Chiri steps in to do an annual housecleaning, her irrepressible desire to fill up any unused space becomes a source of nonstop hilarity.

Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei
Vol. 4 Manga review
Of course, the series' abandonment of accepted storytelling principles is probably going to cost it a few points in the final grade: the plot goes everywhere and nowhere, with Kôji Kumeta choosing to rant on whatever topic crosses his mind for that particular installment. The fact that Zetsubou-sensei is essentially a mouthpiece for those rants—and barrels through each chapter screaming and whining about being in despair—makes him a dangerously one-dimensional character (to say nothing of his students, who keep recycling the same old gags based on their personalities). But give this volume credit for one thing: it manages to do the Christmas-New Year's-Valentine's gauntlet without stepping on a single holiday cliché.

Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei
Vol. 4 Manga review
Readers may also be turned off by the abandonment of accepted artistic principles; it's hard to find anything visually appealing when everything's crammed into tight 14-page chapters and the character designs are just a step above newspaper-strip family comics. It also doesn't help that much of the humor is text-heavy, resulting in big blocks of dialogue, or even eye-straining bullet-point lists of everything that leaves Zetsubou-sensei in despair. The best way to enjoy the artwork is just to accept it as a product of idiosyncrasy: the simple lines, the flat patterns, the deep black-and-white contrasts, the character designs of the students boiling down to a hairstyle and some physical traits. In any case, the series' greatest strength lies in what it's about, not what it looks like.

Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei
Vol. 4 Manga review
The sheer quantity of translation notes in this volume should prove that words take precedence over images in Zetsubou-sensei—so much so that the glossary is long enough to be its own chapter. With so many of the jokes referencing classic Japanese literature, various manga and anime, and current events that were relevant in 2006 but quickly faded into obscurity, the glossary is an absolute necessity. Admittedly, it's not as funny when the joke has to be explained, but it still helps to at least understand what's going on. Then again, Zetsubou-sensei's twisted demeanor is a source of humor in itself, so even when he's just yelling out things that only culturally aware Japanese people would understand, it's still pretty funny.
