Top 5 Spring Anime 2015

Hi you, it's me again. I am still strucked by the fact that it's April already, which means Spring time... (in Japan, and some other countries). So, I'm here to bring you my top 5 animes for this Spring.

I am very psyched about this season's anime as they have the best releases ever since Summer 2014. Not only that, the releases of Season 2 and Season 3 of my favourite animes. I'm guessing everyone should know what animes I'm talking about. It is of course, non other than: 
1. Nisekoi Season 2
2. Uta Pri Season 3
3. High School DxD Born Season 3
4. Yahari Ore no Seishun Season 2

Without further ado, let's move on to my top 5!

#5 Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyouku
Synopsis:
A story which revolves around a high school girl named Eruna Ichinomiya, who enters the Mikagura Academy dreaming of a school life filled with beuaty and moe. Little did Eruna knows that this special school, everyone needs to belong in a club as these clubs battle and fight with special powers in order to decided a club's treatment in the school.

My verdict:
This anime reminds me a lot of Baka to Test, where each classed battle in a virtual world to determine their grades and class placement. The only difference is that this anime revolves around a girl rather than a guy and it is not as moe/cutesy as Baka to Test. But I love it nonetheless as its hilarious and the art/animation is nice.

#4 Shokugeki no Souma
Synopsis:
Yukihira Souma's dream is to become a full-time chef in his father's restaurant and surpass his father's culinary skills. But after Yukihira graduated from middle school, his father decided to close down the restaurant to cook in Europe. Not only that, his father also enrolled him into one of the elite culinary school where only 10% of the students graduate each year. Will Souma survive this?

My verdict:
This anime was recommended to watch by my bro, Jin who has read the manga and said that it's a really good manga, apart from the part where scenes of delicious food eaten by people are turned into a (ahem) extreme bliss emotion (like foodgasm). Although Im not a fan of those "bliss" part, the other part of the story is awesome.

Most of the students look down on him because he's not as "Elite" as they are; but hah~ man, the looks on their faces when he cooks up some bad-ass food which gets him some good grades. And not forgetting, the food shown in the anime... OMG, it looked so real that it makes my hungry everytime Im watching the anime. :9

#3 Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo
Synopsis:
Ryu Yamada is a high school student who is always late for school, naps in classes and gets horrible grades while Urara Shiraishi, is the brightest student in his school. One day, their bodies were swapped unintentionally. It wasn't as bad as they thought it was as they find it easier to move around in that person's body.

My verdict:
Comedy is always my go-to when it comes to anime; oh and hot guys too. And this comedy definitely wasn't a let down. I have been catching the manga and seeing it turn into an anime was like a dream come true. Eventhough some of the characters are terrible and weird, you will come to like them slowly but surely. I know I did.

#2 Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka?
Synopsis:
A story where a boy strives to become the best adventurer and to meet a person of the opposite gender. One day, he was saved by a top-class female adventurer and fell in love at first sight.

My verdict:
An awesome mix of adventure, comedy, fantasy and romance, what's not to like? This anime is beyond compare and it really is a refreshing anime. By adventure of course, it doesn't mean it's gonna be like another Swort Art Online or Log Horizon; nope, nothing like that here; instead it is cuter and the action scenes are superb!

#1.5 Etotama (bonus)
Synopsis:
The anime revolves around Nyaa-tan, a cat who strives to become part of the chinese 12 zodiacs! However, to become part of it, she has to beat all the Eto-shins (12 zodiacs). However, she is not that strong till one day, he meets a boy, Takeru Amato; where she slowly reach towards her goal.

My verdict:
A bonus 1.5 added as there is too many awesome animes this season like I said, and I can't choose just 5, I needed to add another! 1 word.... MMMOOEEEE!!!! If you love moe-ness and cute-ness and all things kawaii, this is for you. This anime features the 12 chinese Zodiacs, hello... I'm a lover of any zodiac story. Every Eto-shins has their funny, unique characteristics and it is epic funny. I also adore the part where they turn chibi size when they go into battle. *moemoe*

#1 Owari no Seraph
Synopsis:
The story takes place in a world where an unknown virus has killed the entire human race except for children, who are enslaved by vampires. The main boy, Yuichiro Hyakuya dreams of becoming strong enough so that he can kill all the vampires.

My verdict:
L-O-V-E! Serious love for this anime. If you are a fan of supernatural and vampire stuffs, this is for you. The animation is spot-on and the characters are... (bishie-ness).Definitely a must watch for this season! (ノ≧∀≦)ノ

I hope u guys enjoyed my top 5 animes for this Spring. Stay awesome, xoxo
