First Impressions OVA/Movie Series Introduction

Houkago no Pleiades – ONA

By Divine January 31, 2011

GAINAX's unusual joint anime project with Subaru makes its debut on YouTube, and the only real connection to the Japanese car manufacturer is the Pleiades star cluster that its name and logo are based upon. (Subaru is the Pleiades' name in Japanese.) Much like the later promo videos suggested, this is actually a magical girl anime at heart, in the more traditional sense than SHAFT's offering this season.

First Impressions Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? – 04

By Takaii January 31, 2011

? (Cho, Ore Kagayaiteru?)
"Am I Shining?"

And I thought that Kore wa Zombie Desu ka couldnt get any better -- apparently I was wrong again. Somehow this show manages to combine the perfect amount of humor with spot on timing while still retaining some kind of seriousness when the time calls for it.

First Impressions Super Robot Wars OG

Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector – 17

By Divine January 31, 2011

(Hagane no Houkou)
"Howl of Steel"

It's been some time since Operation Plantagenet was mentioned, going all the way back to episode eleven, but the joint operation between the Earth Federation Army and Neo DC to retake North America from the Inspectors finally got underway.

Bakuman. First Impressions

Bakuman. – 17

By Takaii January 30, 2011

(Tengu to Shinsetsu)
"Conceit and Kindness"

After a change of pace, Bakuman almost felt like a different show this week. After being introduced to Fukuda Shinta (Suwabe Junichi) and Nakai Takuro (Shimura Tomoyuki), it almost felt like the supporting characters were starting to dominate the show.

First Impressions STAR DRIVER

STAR DRIVER: Kagayaki no Takuto – 17

By Divine January 30, 2011

(Banishingu Eeji)
"Vanishing Age"

Ask and you shall receive, as included this week was a new maiden song by Keito, "Aki-iro no Aria", to kick off the next arc. With Koshimizu Ami singing, it'll probably only take another episode for the song to establish itself as the new Zero Time theme too.

First Impressions GOSICK

GOSICK – 04

By Kiiragi January 30, 2011

() (Konjiki no Ito wa Tsuka no Ma o Kirisaku)
"The Golden Thread Destroys the Moment"

How obviously suspicious does Avril Bradley act? About a 13/10 on the "I CAN SEE THE ENDING" scale. But then again, that's what they want me to think isn't it?

First Impressions Mitsudomoe

Mitsudomoe Zouryouchuu! – 04

By Takaii January 30, 2011

(Beautiful Drama)
"Beautiful Drama"

With last weeks jokes feeling a little a weak, I was pleasantly surprised as I found myself laughing a lot more than last week. Normally I dont enjoy Sugisaki and her Mitsuba stalking lifestyle, but for some reason everything just felt so right.

First Impressions Tegami Bachi

Tegami Bachi REVERSE – 17

By Divine January 29, 2011

As far as I'm concerned, Jiggy is already a Head Bee. He just likes his job at Yuusari Central.

(Uso to Shinjitsu)
"Lies and Truths"

Gauche or Noir? The conclusion of the last episode left me fairly convinced Noir was pretending to be Gauche, but I'm not so sure anymore when he saved Lag without anybody realizing. There were a lot of indications that he put up an act to fool Garrid and Valentine so that he can return to Reverse and allow Lag to escape, such as his insistence not to use a shindanjuu that may have revealed his true intentions.
