Nagi no Asukara – 14

By Kairi January 10, 2014

Well that preview was a red herring if I ever saw one.

Sakura Trick – 01

By Stilts January 10, 2014

(Sakurairo no Hajimari/ Yakisoba to Beranda to Onnanoko)
"Sakura-colored Beginnings / Yakisoba, Verandas, and Girls"

Seriously, just confess your love for each other already! Though it's not like I'm not enjoying watching them flirt. Yuri banzai!

First Impressions Series Introduction Snapshots

Mahou Sensou – 01

(Manatsu no Mahou Shoujo)
"Midsummer Magical Girl"

Mahou Sensou's first episode leaves much to be desired. There's potential, but the series is fighting an uphill battle.

First Impressions Series Introduction Snapshots

pupa – 01

By Cherrie January 9, 2014

So one of my more anticipated series this season... ends up being a 5-min short.

First Impressions Mikakunin de Shinkoukei Series Introduction

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei – 01

By Stilts January 9, 2014

(Nanigoto mo Saisho ga Kanjindesu)
"First Impressions Are Everything"

Characters rule the day in Mikakunin de Shinkoukei, and it works because they're very good characters who are treated with kindness and respect. Equal measures funny, warm, and romantic, I very much enjoyed this first episode.

Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren – 01

By Takaii January 9, 2014

(Fukkatsu no ... Jyaoo Shingan)
"Revival of the... Wicked Eye"

Oh hey, isn't Chu2Koi Ren another sequel this season? I must be the resident slice-of-life and sequel writer! Jokes aside, Chu2Koi Ren is a show that needs no introduction -- unless you haven't watched the first season. Which if you haven't, go do it. Right now.
