 Welcome to another installment of First Impressions on my channel, A Week In Geekdom Geo, here. And instead of doing what I did for the spring anime season where I picked out several titles that I was interested in, I'm just going to lump everything into one big video and talk about my First Impressions for the new stuff that's coming out. I'm not going to talk about Apare Ranman and stuff like that because that already aired, even though it's going to finish out in the summer season. But I do want to talk about all the new shows that are debuting for the summer 2020 anime season. First Impressions time, let's do this. First one on my list that I have here on my computer is Re Zero Season 2. This was supposed to come out in April of this year, but instead got delayed because of the pandemic. And here we are at Boy Oh Boy, that first episode started out with a bang. Everything, just perfect synergy of a tragic epic in the making and the continuation of an excellent story. Over the years I've come to love and adore Re Zero, one of my favorite guilty pleasures, one of my favorite anime overall. And I am very excited to see where the story continues, the animations on point, the few action scenes that we get in the first episode are fantastic to look at. And like I said, it goes very very wrong in that episode, very tragic. And I am all up for it, some really cool stuff and everybody's acting is on point. And yeah, I can't freaking wait, greed and gluttony look extremely interesting and creepy at the same time. So I'm very much looking forward to what is about to happen in this second season. Next up we've got Uzaki-chan wants to hang out. And I hope I said that right, I probably butchered it. But I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I first started watching that series. But you know, I like a good comedy and slice of life. And you know, just a little dash of etchiness here and there. And it's pretty cute. I really appreciate that the series takes place in college. Because I'm so used to, for so many years to seeing anime being in high school with teenagers. So to get more series that are featuring adults is a breath of fresh air. And certainly makes the comedy more meaningful for someone of my demographic or age group. And you know, she's just teasing her senpai slash friend and he's annoyed. But they sort of developed this friendship. It's going to be interesting and pretty hilarious. I'm already using online a lot of reaction images from the character of Uzaki. Because she's pretty hilarious. And even though the art style is a little bit weird, especially her character design. I find the series charming enough that I want to continue moving forward with the anime. Next up we've got Super Heroes, but it's spelled actually H-X-E-R-O-S. So sort of a play on heroes with perverted nests and hentai. But it's nothing like what you're thinking of. It's more of a play on Super Sentai shows with ecchi sensibilities and fan service. It's crazy. It's kind of stupid. But I gotta admit, the first two episodes that I watched, I actually laughed out loud at some of the scenes and found it so ridiculous that I wanted to keep going where you have this world that is invaded by an alien creature that is out to steal each energy and basically get rid of human desire from people. They feed off of that. And a lot of desires come from emotions and sexuality and all that stuff. But the main heroes, the five team members of Super Heroes, I guess, they combat the alien creatures and of course are going to get themselves into some risque situations. The art is pretty average looking, I would say, but it has a witty sense of humor. It knows what it's doing and it knows the type of crowd it's aiming for. So it's just going to have a ton of fun. Again, if you don't mind the erotic nature of it, I guess, or the perverted nature of it, I think you're going to have a fun time laughing at how absurd the premise is and the characters and the alien creatures. Plus, easily one of the best opening themes that you'll hear this season is from that show. So I do recommend it just on that alone. Next up, we've got Decadence, which is my surprise hit so far. At just one or two episodes, I don't know what the time of this video, but at one or two episodes, this shows a lot of promise. It's a lot of tropes that we've seen before. And if I were to describe Decadence to people, I would say this is an anime where it mixes sensibilities from Saga of Tanya the Evil because it's from the same studio that did the anime, Nut Studios. Interesting name, by the way. It also has elements from Attack on Titan. It also has stuff from friggin' Starship Troopers. It has Kaiju's and giant mobile house-moving castle-type fortresses. It's got everything and a very cool protagonist. I love when you have a very vivacious and expressive individual as your lead, especially in the animation. It just breeds life into the series as a whole. It could have been a very stale and boring series, but with having the character of Natsume there, it really does lighten things up in a very interesting way. And I cannot wait to continue with the series. It's only 12 episodes, but I do hope there's more after that because the setting of the world is pretty interesting. I think 90% of the population has gone extinct. Everybody's living in this giant mobile fortress and they go out to fight this alien-type or monster species called the Gadol. I think that's the name for it. And they use sort of anti-gravity circular backpacks that remind me of a mishmash of the Tiny of the Evils equipment that they use to fly around with magic and the attack on Titan gear that they use to fight the Titans. So it's a mix of the two. Although from the first episode, and this comic is going to age horribly, by the way, but from the first episode, I think when there's a bubble field, that's when they can use the device. I don't think they can use it to fly around at any given time, but I might be mistaken on that. Still, it looks fantastic. The animation, especially when they're in flight and fighting, that looks amazing. Also, the music and characters, yeah, I do wholeheartedly think this is my underdog of this summer 2020, but I will gladly do a full-sized review when I finish the series. Next up, you've got Peter Grill, which sounded interesting and kind of perverted, but I'd like to check out as many shows as possible to bring you different content, I guess, for the channel. And I don't know if I'm going to review this or not, because the contents are pretty risque. There's this character, Peter, and he is the world's strongest man, and it's a world where, or an alternate Earth, where several mythical type of creatures exist, like ogres and stuff, and because he's the top champ, everybody, especially the ogre girls, they want to have kids from Peter. So it leads into some hilarious things, especially because he's trying to win over this human girl who is, believe, the daughter of the king of the land or something similar to that. At 12 minutes per episode, don't expect too much from the series, but if you like comedy and you don't mind absurd branchiness, then go ahead and give it a shot, I guess. I do believe it is censored in case you're wondering, but there should be an uncensored version, because why the hell not? Speaking of uncensored, there's also Monster Girl Doctor, which is basically a tamer version of Monster Musume. I hope I said that right. There's not a whole lot there. This human character is a doctor, and he takes care of species in this alternate world, and yeah, the other assistant or other doctor is this snake girl, and she's in love with him, and if you like monster characters and don't mind that type of comedy, you can probably skip it and not miss out on a whole ton of stuff. Next up, we've got the Misfit of Demon King Academy. Although I should read to you the full length title, because it is hilarious to me, it is actually called The Misfit of Demon King Academy. History's strongest demon king reincarnates and goes to school with his descendants. This is absurdly long and ridiculous. It is this comedy slash action romance about this demon king that, you know, reincarnates and is in this school. And what's fun about this series, or what I liked at the beginning, is that nobody knows who he is, because it's been, I think, 2,000 years, so history has sort of twisted and lies and misconceptions have sort of raised his, like they know the characters in this world know who he is, from legend, but I said the name got altered and the facts got twisted along the way, which tends to happen in real life with historical figures, so now he has to prove himself and convince everybody, like, yes, I am the demon king that has come back, but he's in the body of a teenager and he's attending a school that is based off of his principles and teachings and art demon craft or whatever. There's potential there and the first episode was pretty interesting and kind of shocked me with the level of violence. I wasn't expecting that from that series. I don't know if it was just me, but I wasn't expecting that. Hopefully with more episodes and character development, because the character is pretty overpowered and that's one of my main concerns when it comes to these type of shows. You're basically doing a wish fulfillment series and the character doesn't have a lot of room to grow, but we'll see, hopefully there is some adversity because at the first two episodes he can pretty much do anything and not break a sweat and I don't find that entirely entertaining. I want a challenge for a hero, so we'll see how that series develops. Next up we've got the second webtoon collaboration with Crunchyroll and it is the adaptation, the anime version of the God of High School which is basically your final fights and King of Fighters video games brought to you in Manhua form and now in anime form. It's this tournament where everybody is competing and fighting martial art style. The animation is amazing, the fights are very fluid, it looks very badass. So I do recommend that if you want a good action series and you want to have a great time watching a show, go check it out, The God of High School. Finally, the other new title that I'm checking out is Rent a Girlfriend because why not, I like a good romantic comedy, a romcom, especially in anime. The premise is stupid, I will be completely straightforward with you guys. This character, the main character has been dumped after a month with his ex-girlfriend now and he is depressed, angry and sad. So he finds a dating service app thing on his smartphone on the internet where you can rent a girlfriend for a day I think. So he does it out of curiosity, he rents a girlfriend and I guess sort of to calm his sadness over getting dumped. And what leads is a kind of awkward romantic comedy about two characters that would... you wouldn't expect them to meet and become friends but the circumstances lead them on a path of friendship and possible romance later on. It's interesting, the art is cute and fun and the characters, the comedic timing and the jokes I think they flow pretty well where I want to continue watching it and the protagonist isn't as whiny as I would have thought and I'm kind of glad because this series lends itself to having terrible protagonists but for this one, I'll check it out, it's something different I guess and there are more girls that are going to be part of the main cast so I don't know how they're going to fit in but the first episode I really enjoyed it and I thought it was pretty interesting for a sort of edgy rom-com. Obviously there are a lot of other shows that are premiering I'm not going to watch every single one of them unfortunately those are some of the ones that I wanted to talk about plus there are other older shows that are still premiering like Black Clover which just came back on, there are of course the shows from the April-Spring season that are picking back up like Digimon Adventure, Millionaire Detective, Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater, Apare Ranman, stuff like that which I will continue watching and hopefully by the end of the summer 2020 season I can bring you guys different reviews for all the shows that I talked about but how about you guys any of the shows that I mentioned in this episode are you watching them, are you interested and let me know of course if there are other shows that I didn't talk about that you're watching as well as the season goes on guys as always thank you so much for tuning in I really enjoyed doing this and talking about my favorite anime and the shows that I'm watching and hopefully you guys enjoyed this as well thank you so much for subscribing, liking, commenting and being a part of this channel it really does mean a whole ton check out the merch link down below, follow me on social media hit the bell icon so you know when new videos pop up and yeah that's about it I've got to go, I've got more anime to watch, more books to review so I will catch all of you on our next episode
