Short Synopsis:<\/b> An MMO addict\u2019s bad luck begins to turn when he stumbles upon a super rare item.<\/p>\n

Wooper:<\/b><\/span> The very first line of the fall season\u2019s first premiere is, \u201cHumans are constantly working hard and improving.\u201d That\u2019s an attractive idea, but in the world of Overgeared (Tempal: Item no Chikara), it\u2019s merely a lie. Forget the main character\u2019s video game addiction and dead end job; even the average person in this show is an MMO lifer (its most popular game, \u201cSatisfy,\u201d has two billion players), and the zillionaires who run the world are so vehemently anti-work that they\u2019ve found a way to make MMO bucks just as valuable as first world currencies. These kinds of stories have been around for an entire generation at this point, and Overgeared brings nothing new to the table, unless you consider the concept of falling below level 0 to be earth-shattering stuff. And some people certainly do \u2013 there\u2019s a three minute scene of R&D suits discussing the protagonist\u2019s de-leveling, written in such a way that even people \u201cwatching\u201d the show on their third monitor will absorb the roadmap for his eventual ascension. Ultimately, that\u2019s what these \u201cwhat if video games = real???\u201d shows are: third rate entertainment for third rate anime fans. I know I sound like a gatekeeping prick, but that\u2019s the sort of reaction that trash like Overgeared is uniquely capable of getting from me.

Short Synopsis:<\/b> A math-savvy college student adopts her mom\u2019s self-destructive forex trading habit.<\/p>\n

Wooper:<\/b><\/span> I know absolutely nothing about the foreign exchange market, and having just seen the first episode of FX Senshi Kurumi-chan, I\u2019m happy to remain uninformed. Making bets on currency exchange rates sounds addictive, and I\u2019d rather my life not reach the level of ruin portrayed in this premiere. Of course, it\u2019s a little weird that the vehicles for such despair will be fancifully designed anime girls, several of whom can be glimpsed during the closing montage \u2013 for now, though, what we have is a prologue about the breakup of a family over forex trading debt, and it\u2019s quite an effective one. After an opening PSA about the real life hazards of the show\u2019s subject matter, the show gets to work shaping its protagonist\u2019s past, introducing her as a cheerful middle school girl before slowly stripping away everything she has to be happy about. The guilt that Kurumi feels about her mom\u2019s poor choices hits hard, and her own decision to follow her into the FX market is tragic in its predictability. This episode\u2019s exaggerated voice acting and blunt (but mercifully brief) flashbacks distract, but don\u2019t detract, from the sadness of its story, which is about all I could ask for. Now that it\u2019s caught up to the present, will it take a black comedy angle or morph into a Kaiji-esque gambling thriller? I\u2019m not sure, but I\u2019ll gladly (not too gladly) watch for a couple more weeks to find out.

Short Synopsis:<\/b> A rodent disguised as a loaf of bread liberates one of his fellow loaves from a local bakery.<\/p>\n

Wooper:<\/b><\/span> Like all the best thieves, Pan Dorobou has a code. He aims for freshly-baked bread, steals only one loaf at a time, and eats with gratitude; in other words, he\u2019s tasteful, mindful, and grateful. He\u2019s also the star of a popular Japanese children\u2019s book series, which has now been adapted into an anime with nine minute episodes (six minutes if you don\u2019t count the OP, ED, and episode-ending maze segment). The show has a pleasant picture book style to it, which is especially helpful in giving texture to the different kinds of bread that are so often on screen. Pan Dorobou\u2019s mousey snout and malleable limbs are well-animated, giving him a lot of visual appeal, but not as much as his house in the forest, which is filled with furniture made from bread<\/span><\/a>. If he only steals a loaf at a time, he must have gone hungry for several days to furnish that room! Not that I\u2019d hold it against him \u2013 nor would any of the bemused human or animal residents of the neighboring city where he does his pilfering. Pan Dorobou, both the character and the show, are simply too cute to criticize, though I do wonder whether the bakers whose wares he absconds with will be made into villains in the future. Guess I\u2019ll have to keep watching to find out!
