So, I read on ANN that Crunchyroll was premiering three new series today. I have to say, for $10 a month, it’s a helluva deal. Of course, it hasn’t always got the best selection, but there’s plenty of it. Given that I’m probably paying less than a half-buck per episode watched, and I have too much free time, it’s pretty easy to kill time watching even anime that I am not that crazy about.
Which, in a nutshell, is how I came to watch Dragon Crisis and Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? today. I had some interest in Zombie to start the season, but about Dragon Crisis, the best I could muster to say about it was “generic, no interest.” Well, that was before I realized it was set in modern-day Japan. I was thinking it was in a fantasy world. Hey, +3 points for that! So I watched it and quickly found it that it was in a fantasy world; it just looks like modern-day Japan. There’s a Society, and it recognizes groups that look for “Lost Precious'” which are magical artifacts. Everyone wants to score the big one and find an ‘S’ class. Then it gets even MORE generic and paint-by-the-numbers. Warning, massive spoilers, especially for Zombie below the fold.
