Fall 2012 Animé: What We Watched, Part 4

Whoa, finally, an update that was made within the promised time frame! Don't break out the champagne yet, folks, save that for when we finally bid adieu to this season's crop of animé. Even though we're nearing the home stretch, I'm not going to dump eight shows on you all at once - we'll do it as we've always done, four at a time.

Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne! – A young girl finally reunites with her beloved twin brother after six years and start living in the same high school dormitory. It sounds like your typical slice of life premise, doesn’t it? However, the girl loves her brother as a woman loves a man, and there are three girls who are interested in him living in the same dorm as well! The overly long title translates roughly to "He's my brother, but I love him all the same!" Will our unusual heroine succeed in her quest for love? How long can the brother stand all the girls chasing him before he goes insane? Watch it to find out!

Psycho Pass – In a world where a person’s soul and future can be quantified as a value called Psycho Pass, a newly inducted detective must learn to cope with the tension of what is expected of her, and what she believes a law enforcer should be. When most of her coworkers are marked as latent criminals by the super-computer that runs the city, and a single moment of great anger, sorrow, despair, or any other human emotion can change an upstanding, morally upright citizen into a dangerous criminal in the system’s eyes, it’s certainly not going to be easy for her. This is definitely grown-up, mature stuff – if you’re looking for a good buddy cop show for kids, you’d better look elsewhere.

Robotics;Notes – This is the story of two high school friends. She’s dead set on saving the school’s robotics club. He’s only part of the club because the clubroom is the perfect place for him to play a robot fighting game on his tablet phone. After many failed attempts to secure funding for the club to build a piloted robot, the vice-principal gives them an ultimatum. There’s an upcoming hobby robot competition, and if they win, they’ll get their funding. However if they lose, the club gets disbanded. Watch and see how they fight to keep the club going, and make it thrive!

Sakurasou Pet na Kanojo – Due to certain circumstances a normal high school boy who likes cats ends up in the dormitory where all the geniuses with special quirks reside. A rabid animé fan, a teenage playboy, and shut-in computer wiz all live in the dorm, which has a lazy arts teacher as the landlady. One day, perhaps because of his status as the only reliable, normal resident, the landlady asks him to pick her cousin up at the train station. Little does he know that he’s about to meet his newest housemate – an incredibly talented artist who will go all day naked unless someone dresses her up, and he suddenly finds himself acting as her caretaker!

Next up: the last four of the twenty animé we've been following this season!
