Summer 2011 – First Week Impressions (Part 1)

This post has my thoughts and impressions on Blood C, Ikoku Meiro no Croisée, and Sacred Seven.

The summer season is well underway and a half dozen shows have already aired.  Ah, a new anime season means a lot of swift and decisive action on a wide variety of shows based on our initial thoughts and tastes.  And this season is no different.

Fractale – 1

Is it just me or does Fractale remind you a bit of Aria?  There is that feeling of unity between the classical and futuristic going on in this world.  The architecture of buildings and dirt roads lined by stonewalls intertwine seemingly commonplace with strange, talking robots and personalized flying vehicles.  The tiny house located by the water certainly reminds me of the Aria Company, as well.  Ah, it’s nice to be reminiscent about one of my all-time favorite animes when beginning a new one, but this isn’t about Aria, today.  Fractale certainly stands out as a well-rounded anime on its own.
