Nisekoi
Nisekoi is about a boy named Raku who is the heir to a yakuza faction. When Raku was young he made a promise with a girl to marry her when they meet again and still has the locket the girl gave him that day. The girl that made the promise is supposed to have a key to open the locket. Unfortunately Raku meets girls like Chitoge rather than the sweet girl he made his promise to. Chitoge is everything he does not want and makes him lose his locket. She helps to find it after a lot of griping in the end. It also turns out that Chitoge is the young mistress to a gang and Raku has to pretend to date her to keep their two factions from fighting.
Nisekoi uses the very common plot device that the main character met a perfect girl when he was a child and promised to marry her. I would say that this one improved upon the formula by having a physical object to prove who this girl is, but somehow there is more than one girl that has a key. I have to wonder with only one key that will open the locket, how long is this going to go on? It feels it should just be a line of girls with keys putting them in the lock until the right one is found. Unless he is just going to disregard this plot device in the end.
Despite the cliche plot for Nisekoi it still is a nice show. The best part of the show is the side characters reactions to what the main characters are doing. For instance the yakuza and the gang had hilarious reactions to Ruka and Chitoge dating. Another point for Nisekoi is that the show is beautiful.
Overall Nisekoi is a pretty good romance show.

World Conquest Zvezda Plot
World Conquest Zvezda Plot is about Kate Hoshimiya taking over the world. The show follows the way her group tries to handle world conquest.
First look at World Conquest Zvezda Plot and it looks like a loli, but do not avoid it because of what it looks like. The show is much better than the standard show that features a young girl. While she does have some moments that are questionable the story is not about getting in her pants nor does anyone seem interested in her as anything, but a leader.
World Conquest Zvezda Plan also takes a cliche route of having Asuta interested in a girl that is working for the other side. Even as early as the second episode this comes into play with her taking notice of Asuta since she knows him and finding the lair of the group. When the two actually have to fight each other it will probably be a big problem.
The cast of characters is pretty interesting and makes the show watchable. From the outfits to the varying characters they are interesting. The best part is learning more about the side characters.
Overall while the show is not particularly innovative there is something about it that makes it fun to watch so far.
