Grisaia No Kajitsu Grisaia no Kajitsu - First Impressions I honestly didn't know what to expect going into Grisaia no Kajitsu, but the most prominent thing that drew me in was it is a psychological romance. With that in my mind, I was hoping for something that was more than likely a mature in nature anime. So when the first scene with the listing of...
Log Horizon Log Horizon 2 - First Impressions Log Horizon was my favorite anime of the season when it originally aired. So, I was waiting with excitement for the next season to start. It is, without question, the one anime I've been looking forward to the most this season.
Tokyo Esp Tokyo ESP - First Impressions The combination of science fiction and fantasy has always been a rather odd mix for me. On one hand we have something that tries to grounded in as much reality as possible, and this includes the "fiction" part of science fiction
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - First Impressions Going into Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, I didn't know what to expect but I did have Bakuman on the brain only because they both revolve about mangaka. With the just first episode, it feels like this anime will be more focused on the comedy aspects rather than the actual struggle of mangaka...
Sword Art Online Sword Art Online II - First Impressions Back with a new season of Sword Art Online, or rather Gun Gale Online this time around. And as one of the many people extremely critical of the previous season, specifically the ALfheim Online arc, I'm going into this pretty sceptical on whether this season will be any good.
Date A Live Date A Live II - First Impressions Following the pattern that Date A Live has set for itself, at least to me, the first episode in to the season isn't that entertaining and tilted more towards the annoying realm. The easiest way to describe this episode is that it was Shidou's bad fur day...
Fairy Tail Fairy Tail (2014) - First Impressions Well, I'm a week later to the punch, but I wanted to do my first impressions of the new season of Fairy Tail even with the second episode already being out. So believe it or not, this was my most anticipated anime coming out this season and I'm happy to see that the first episode...
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei - First Impressions Going head first into Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, the first thing that drew me into the first few minutes was the fact that magic was explained as more of a produce of science rather than something supernatural. The only gripe I have with this type of reasoning is why is it even called "magic"...
Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil Wizard Barristers - First Impressions Right from the start I had this familiarity toward how the characters are designed in Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil and had to figure out what anime I recognized this from. Turns out it is from Mezzo and I do remember watching it, but maybe
Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku No Zvezda Sekai Seifuku - First Impressions With no real introduction to what type of world Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda is set in, I pretty much assumed that it would be a non-magical world. Considering that all we really had to go by was the idea of world conquest it
Nisekoi Nisekoi - First Impressions Almost every element of Nisekoi is very cliché. From the beginning being about some promise made by childhood friends, to the way a new "love" comes into contact with the male character by bumping into him. However, even with something that is
Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai! ChuuKoi 2 - First Impressions I haven't been the biggest fan of most of the anime coming from KyoAni, and after the first season of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! ended, I pretty much never really watched anything from them ever since. So now that Chuunibyou demo Koi ga
Gin No Saji Gin no Saji Second Season - First Impressions As I mentioned back when I took my month long break, the anime I was most looking forward to was the second season of Gin no Saji -- more famously know as Silver Spoon. So with the first episode popping up, this is the
Gin No Saji Gin no Saji: Second Season - First Impressions My most anticipated anime for this season has arrived and I'm pretty excited to see what this season has to offer. So by the end of Silver Spoon's first season my biggest, and only, complaint about the series was the rather lacking detail of problems being faced by the characters.
Toaru Hikuushi E No Koiuta Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta - First Impressions I was honest intrigued by Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta only because the name begin with "Toaru..." or "a certain..." made famous by Toaru Majutsu no Index and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. However, it had nothing to do with those
Noragami Noragami - First Impressions For some reason when going into Noragami, it felt like Durarara and Bakuman, as far as art style goes. And both are great anime to beginning with, so I was starting with some pretty high expectation comparing Noragami to these two anime. As far
Space☆Dandy Space Dandy - First Impressions I was pretty curious about Space☆Dandy when I heard that it was going to be airing dubbed and subbed at the same time. However, even with that initial curiosity, I didn't really know what to expect because all I'm going off of is
Seitokai Yakuindomo Seitokai Yakuindomo* - First Impressions I was super excited to see Seitokai Yakuindomo make its return because of the variety of sex jokes made throughout this series, without it actually being that explicit. So with the first episode, I can say quite confidently that despite the gap between seasons,
Witch Craft Works Witch Craft Works - First Impressions Right off the bat I expected most of Witch Craft Works to be a fanservice type of anime, but it ended up being more action than anything. I was slightly disappointed considering this series is featuring a female with such large breasts, but I
Witch Craft Works Witch Craft Works - First Impressions A new year, and another season is here; so what do we have going into 2014? Well a big breasted, magical, high school girl who is flaunted over by the whole school, yet has a kuudere personality and is protecting a high school boy from other magically people. Why? Cause Anime!
Pupa Pupa - First Impressions Pupa was one of the anime last season I was going to do first impressions on, but it ended up falling through because it didn't air. For those that don't know why this anime got delayed, it was because the studio didn't want it to air censored...
First Impression Medley First Impression Medley 5 Another season of first impressions, and I have to say that the line up is mostly pretty good. The season ended up convincing me to watch more than the ten
Noucome NouCome - First Impressions Another over-the-top anime this season, with an equally ridiculous name Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru, or NouCome for short. Going in, I really don't see the ramped fascination with causing some kind of harm to our
Arpeggio Of Blue Steel: Ars Nova Arpeggio of Blue Steel - First Impressions Before I even got to watch Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova, I notice that there were complaints about it's "horrible" CG, and I began to see flashbacks of Aku no Hana all over again. I guess I'm more lenient on art
White Album White Album 2 - First Impressions A new iteration in the White Album series, White Album 2, has no relation story wise to the first one. Even though it isn't related, and I didn't attempt to re-watching the previous season, I did notice the song being played, that being "
