Anime for Quarantine

I have talked about anime before on this blog. With all of this time on your hands you probably have enough time to watch some anime with me. I already talked in length about one of my favorite shows Overlord so if you want my thoughts on that show go read my post with it in it. This post will have some minor spoilers so if you want to go in blind these are the shows that I will talk about witch would be Darling and the Franxx, Aldnoah.Zero, and Demon Lord Retry.

When I watched this show I was weirded out by the main premise of the show but I grew into it and now it is one of my favorite shows ever. This show opens with Parasite number 16 aka Hiro narrating about a Jian a bird only possessing one wing and unless it finds a partner it cannot fly. He then hears a noise and follows a trail of blood and finds a bird at a lake and he meets number 2 aka Zero Two. Now to pilot a Franxx one must have a partner of the opposite sex and synchronize with them. Hiro had been not able to synchronize with his old partner Naomi and was considered a failure as a pilot. He goes to send off his old partner as Parasites (witch are what pilots are called) are let go if they don’t serve Papa. Then as her transport is rolling off it is attacked by a klaxosaur and Hiro sees Strelitzia in its stampede mode and Zero Two throws out her old partner as he is dead and accepts Hiro as her partner aka “Darling”. They fight and Hiro passes out. That is a synopsis of the first episode so if you find Mechs and a teenage love story in the same show then check it out.

If you sense a familiarity between this show and the last you will find that I love Mechs. This show starts with one of the main characters Slaine Troyard teaching the princess of Mars or as the people who live on it call it Vers Princess Asseylum Vers Allusia. Then it cuts to are second main character Inaho Kaizuka in Japan as the princess’s goodwill visit is only three days away. You find out that Earth and Mars or Teara and Verse have rising tensions and the princess wants peace. You learn that in this world history was about the same up until Apollo 17 mission where a thing called a Hyper Gate was discovered on the moon and that is how humanity got to Mars. Also in 1999 Vers Empire declares war against United Earth because they want to be recognised as their own empire. As the fighting went on the moon’s Hyper gate was destroyed and the moon was shattered. This cut off the empires forces called Orbital Knights and they reside in their ships orbiting over Earth. This event would be called Heavens Fall. As Inaho is going to school you learn that it is now custom for high schoolers to go through basic military training. They are taught to pilot Kataphrakts witch are big mechs that are used to fight the Vers empire as they have an accent martin tech called aldnoah witch let them make their own Kataphrakts that run on Aldnoah. The tensions are risson when the princess is assassinated on Earth. War starts automatically and the Orbital Knights start attacking. Watch the show from there to find out more.

This show is more like Overlord that the other two, but I love this show and I want to talk about it. This show start as the main character Akira Oono is shutting down his MMORPG called Infinity Game and he is summoned into a world as his character the Demon Lord Hakuto Kunai. He is come upon by a young girl called Aku running from the demon king Greol in witch he dispatches with ease. The girl was a sacrifice for Greol and Hakuto cleans her up and he asks her to take him to a wishing shrine where he finds out that a wish summoned him to this world. He asks Aku if there is a capital where he can go and Aku asks if she can come with him as she has no home to go to anymore. That is where Hakuto’s adventure starts.

These three shows might not get you through quarantine, but they are my recommendations if you have time to kill between Tiger King and your work. So go have fun and watch to your harts content.
