Golden Time

Alternate Name: Goruden Taimu

Every season, there is one anime series that really sticks out for me. This season there were a few, but topping that list was Golden Time. Based off the light novel series written by Yuyuko Takemiya, Golden Time has the entertainment value that could draw anyone in. The series began airing in Japan in October of 2013 and is expected to have 24 episodes. There's good news for North American fans, as it is licensed by Sentai Filmworks and should get a DVD/Blu Ray release sometime in 2014.

Premise: Tada Banri is a new law student at the University of Tokyo. On his first day, he meets Mitsuo Yanagisawa, and the two become immediate friends. Mitsuo, however, has a problem. He is being stalked by his childhood friend, Koko Kaga. During their youth, they made a promise to marry one another, but Mitsuo has moved on and is no longer interested. He tried to hide that he was attending this university, but she found out. Unfortunately, Koko follows him everywhere.

Now Banri has an interesting past as well. Shortly after his high school graduation ceremony, he fell from a bridge causing him to suffer from retrograde amnesia. He is unable to remember anything from before the incident, and due to his hospitalization he missed one year of school. Little does he know…there is someone at Tokyo University that knows him very well! Let the antics begin!
