「ようこそ閃学園へ！」 (Youkoso Hirameki Gakuen he!)
"Welcome to Hirameki Academy!"
Going in, I would say my highest expectation for R-15 was that it would be a guilty pleasure. And after one episode, I can safely say that expectation was met, and possibly exceeded.

「900秒の放課後〈前篇〉」 (900-Byou no Houkago (Zenpen))
"900 Seconds After School (Part One)"
So we have ZEXCS animating and the screen writer Morita Shigeru of Kore wa Zombie fame creating something? I’ll admit that I wasn’t too excited with the premise of this show but I was blown away with how well this first episode played out.

「貧乏神インスペクト+」 (Binbougami Insupekuto)
"God of Poverty Inspection"
Local deities in the 21st century are what it's all about in the adaptation of mangaka duo FLIPFLOPs' 2007 fantasy comedy series. At first glance, the character designs are reminiscent of the ones seen in the Touhou Project anime. Replace the demons and youkai with gods and we have Nekogami Yaoyorozu -- or at least, that's the immediate visual impression that AIC PLUS+'s anime gives off.

「僕とみんなと海水浴っ！」 (Boku to Minna to Kaisuiyoku!)
"Me, Everyone, and Sea Bathing!"
While I wouldn't say that Baka Test came off the strongest during this first week of new shows, it was a really fun watch. Plus it has a strong back story going for it since it is a sequel. Here's to a strong second season for this show!
