「偽りの戦端」 (Itsuwari no Senten)
"False Start to the War"
Fate/Zero doesn't miss a beat as the build-up and exposition continues on in this second episode. It maintained the same pacing as the hour-long premiere and was just as epic too.

「失われた存在」 (Ushinawareta Sonzai)
"Lost Existence"
After re-watching season one and blasting through season two like it was nothing, I was extremely excited that I didn't have to wait years to witness the beginning of the conclusion to this awesome series. Holding my breath as I clicked play, I was blown away with how spectacular everything looked.

「僕と君の罪と罰」 (Boku to Kimi no Tsumi to Batsu)
"Our Crime and Punishment"
Hmm, it sounds like someone wants to try and fight against the Attractor Field in Mawaru Penguindrum. Evidently, Sanetoshi hasn't seen the endless hell that Kyouma went through when he unknowingly tried to do the same. Someone should really tell him that the secret lies in fooling the world. *uses a deep badass voice* 「最初のお前を騙せ。世界を騙せ！」 (Saisho no omae wo damase. Sekai wo damase!)

「You're myself, I'm yourself」
If you had any doubts that the anime adaptation of Persona 4 would stay faithful to its source, rest assured because for better or for worse, it looks like this show has the potential to be one of the more faithful video game adaptations -- at least judging from this first episode.

「変わりはじめた世界！」 (Kawari Hajimeta Sekai!)
"The World that's Started to Change!"
From struggling idols to overnight sensations, girls sure grow up fast these days. It felt like just the other day episode that they were only our idols. *sniff*

「僕達は友達が出来ない(´・ω・`)」 (Bokutachi wa Tomodachi ga Dekinai (´・ω・`))
"We Can't Make Friends"
I think I may have found my new favorite show for this season that isn't a sequel or prequel.

「天を契んだ日」 (Ten wo Kizanda Hi)
"The Day I Made My Mark in the Sky"
As per the promo video, Maken-Ki kicks the fan-service into high gear with its busty female cast and frivolous use of panty shots. While that was pretty much expected, it looks like I'll have to retract my statement about the "goofy" character designs as they're a lot better than I thought.

「ましろ色の出会い」 (Mashiro-iro no Deai)
"Pure White Encounter"
Well, it sure didn't take long for me to get an answer about whether Manglobe would make a difference in an adult visual novel adaptation. The short answer is yes they do, at least visually.

「さくやこのはな」 (Saku ya Kono Hana)
"The Flower Blooms"
It’s always a little scary waiting for that first premiere of the season that you love – what if it never comes? But it’s also pretty exciting when it does – and for me, Chihayafuru is that series this season. It’s love at first sight.
