Ren Homura the main hero of this anime , he came back to his home town after long time , he doesn;t remember much about his past . As in many anime he is somehow a cool hero , he gets a small useless monster that everyone has a felling that is more, may be it is may be not. For some reason they change his personality and hair color when he is fighting . He befriends Akira  Kagetsuki and Miname Wakabe to play Monster Strike game. The Monster Strike game is pretty similar to many other games that you seen in anime , monsters fight with each other and winner collecting monsters . 

In their game they have  many types of monsters some are humanoid , others are robot like , some dragon like , all sort. The plot is pretty trivial and every episode is about a fight , the most interesting part in this anime is not the main characters or the plot but the  monsters design , some of them look very original and interesting others are pretty common. If you like anime about games , school and fights you may like this one to. Not adult anime , mostly oriented for children and young teenagers , if parents do not mind game violence.

Servamp anime 2016

Year : 2016
Genre : Vampires , Comedy, Drama, School life

Episodes : 12 ep. (25 min)
Plot/Characters:
It is a typical story where a young boy drives into fantasy world when from his kind heart takes in a stray black cat , pretty predictable the cat turns into a vampire and becomes his servant , now they will save everyone and be town heroes saving them from other mad people other vampire servants and owners. Shirota is an extreme altruist and Kuro is the total opposite , fantasy comedy anime , the plot is pretty predictable , light , on the other side beside naive cute scenes there are seconds when screen becomes red and blood runs in fountains, this may put you into a dilemma is this a cute anime for children or not. If you like anime with cute characters , uncomplicated plots , pretty predictable , you like vampires and a bit of drama a bit of comedy , you may like this one to.
Shirota Mahiru - orphan , 15 years , loves when everything is simple , he helps everyone and does things nobody wants to do because long ago nobody wanted to do one thing , take him and take care of him when he was a child and he lost his mother. Shirota is altruist to the point of insanity , he can sacrifice everything for others , his time and life , he seems very naive.
Kuro - Kuro is a vampire that takes for of a black cat almost like in sailor moon lol, well he is a a vampire , lazy one that doesn't like problems or doesn't want to do anything and opposite to Mahiru tries to stay away from people and everything.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress/Kōtetsujō no Kabaneri anime 2016

Anime 2016
 Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is an anime that unites the team that worked on Code Geass and the one that worked on Attack on Titan ( I never know why is it translated or named on Titan and not of Titans but anyway ) , the design of characters is promised to be fantastic and le plot will combine the shocking scenes from Attack on Titan with Code Geass ingenious action. The action will take place on an island where people try to protect them from horrible zombie ppl called Kabane , the design of the characters is lovely. Some of you may say it has something from Attack Titan and some say it is something better and will evolve into something new , we al hope so and wish a good luck the the team and hope that the Japanese artists will surprise us again with their talent in design and scenes action. The first special will run on 18 March 2016.
