Summer Anime 2014

Summer is upon us and you know what that means: extreme heat, crowded pools and BOOBS, BOOBS EVERYWHERE. Wanna stay cool this summer?? Then stay home and watch these animes:

Sword Art Online II: This sequel welcomes you to the gun show! The new series is adapting the Phantom Bullet arc and introduces us to the heroine Sinon (she first appeared in the PSP game Infinity Moment).

1 year after the SAO incident, Kirito is approached by Seijiro Kikuoka from Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Department “VR Division” with a rather peculiar request.

That was an investigation on the “Death Gun” incident that occurred in the gun and steel filled VRMMO called Gun Gale Online (GGO). “Players who are shot by a mysterious avatar with a jet black gun lose their lives even in the real world…” Failing to turn down Kikuoka’s bizarre request, Kirito logs in to GGO even though he is not completely convinced that the virtual world could physically affect the real world.

Kirito wanders in an unfamiliar world in order to gain any clues about the “Death Gun.” Then, a female sniper named Sinon who owns a gigantic “Hecate II” rifle extends Kirito a helping hand. With Sinon’s help, Kirito decides to enter the “Bullet of Bullets,” a large tournament to choose the most powerful gunner within the realm of GGO, in hopes to become the target of the “Death Gun” and make direct contact with the mysterious avatar.

Premieres: July 5.

Sailor Moon Crystal: The first Sailor Moon anime to appear since 1996's Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars.  Usagi Tsukino is a second-year middle school girl who is a little clumsy and a crybaby, but she is full of energy.

As a chosen guardian of justice, Usagi seems to have a mission to find the Illusionary Silver Crystal with the other guardians and to protect the princess.

Meanwhile, the queen of the Dark Kingdom, Queen Beryl, also sends minions to the town where Usagi lives to obtain the Illusionary Silver Crystal, which has immense power. This causes strange events to unfold….
