“Are you enjoying the Time of Eve?”

That’s the first sign you will see when you enter into this hidden cafe. First time visitors will be informed of rule that states “No discrimination between humans and robots” within the cafe.

Set in the futuristic era of Japan, where robot usage has become an everyday occurrence. The improvement of technology has made it hard to differentiate between robots and human, thus making it compulsory for robots to be identified with glowing rings above their heads.

New Year, new anime season, less HDD space. The winter season has brought not just cool weather, but a slew of new anime series as well. Some of my faves from last season include Fate/Zero and Un-Go. While the current crop of anime will not need to compete with one of Type Moon’s most popular series (the creators, wisely, splitting the series into two seasons), they will still have to go against other series like Last Exile – Fam the Silver Wing, Guilty Crown and Persona 4. So let us check out the series’ which I think will stand out from the pack this season…

Yup, Chobits (TV) based on the manga under the same name.

Yeah, I read the manga before, so I already know the ending and stuff… But since all the last time I read the manga was like years ago, I can only vaguely remember how it really happened.

So let us take a look at my personal favourites for the coming anime season…

Review: Mai-Otome

Although it has some of the characters from Mai-Hime (Another anime series), this isn’t a sequel! Rather, it’s a different story that is happening in an alternate-universe of Mai-Hime.

Hehe… You must think that I watched Mai-Hime before I started this series right? Wrong, I saw this anime on Omni-san’s animeblog (used to be Omni’s, Divine has now taken over ownership), at first I thought that this must be those “yuri” type anime, but I decided to give it a try anyway, it wasn’t bad at all… I found it to be quite interesting :)
