It's taken me awhile, but I have three new anime series under my belt, ready for capsule reviews:
Fractale: An odd little series, and hard to describe. A boy finds himself caught up in a war between people who rely on technology to an extreme extent, and those people who want to get back to the farm, so to speak. Which side is right is for you to decide. But heed this warning: war is bad.
Linebarrels of Iron—A bullied boy is accidentally killed, then resurrected by a mecha. He now has the strength to take on bullies and pilot the mecha. He goes gung-ho. Fortunately, the beautiful alien Emi and the Juda corporation are there to channel his abilities more constructively.
This series has been rated TV-MA, but it is not continually naughty. There are a couple of nipple shots. And there are harem escapades amongst young people still in middle school. Nonetheless, a self-proclaimed prude like me was able to handle it. The show seems more about the plot than the naughty bits, and the plot gets quite exciting.
This series also features a lot of main character death; however, the expired characters always seem to come back somehow. It’s like a soap opera—no one remains dead!
Save Me! Lollipop—In spite of its silly title, this thirteen episode series grew on me. At first I thought it was stupid, but then I got into the love/friendship triangle between our heroine, Nina, and two partners-in-sorcery, Ichii and Zero. Nina thinks of them as princes and can’t choose between them. But all that may not matter, because come Christmas, they’re due to ditch Nina and head on back to the sorcery world.

A young and attractive English teacher at Seika High. She may have non-Japanese ancestry because of her name and the comments on her looks. She's an acquaintance of Tora Igarashi who made her join Seika High, in order to make Usui quit. Wearing revealing clothes as well as having a large bust and being very short, she attracts the attention of male teachers and students. Misaki instinctively protects her from them, causing Maria to fall in love with her. Initially thought of by Misaki as a potential rival for Usui, Maria confesses her love to Misaki.
Usui is in fact a former student of Maria's mother. She has a 'habit' of falling in love with girls. She has a fiance, Shinji, but she only considers him as a mere childhood friend. She also knows about Misaki's part time job. She's Igarashi's right hand person to make Usui move to Miyabigaoka High School.
As for team rocket...
they still haven't won but they aren't near as wimpy. They don't hide with as many dumb costumes
and blast off. They are able to escape and play a much more important role in the anime now.
Giovanni is trying to lure out team plasma using team rocket.
The story don't have as many dumb random stops and makes d/p look like trash.
Currently only four episodes are out but you can watch them here. link
This is just my opinion so say as you wish..
