「この開幕は無音」 (Kono Kaimaku wa Muon)
"This Silent Beginning"

And now for a gentle reintroduction to the WIXOSS series.

First Impressions Shirogane no Ishi Argevollen

Shirogane no Ishi Argevollen – 13

By Divine October 4, 2014

「青と藍」 (Ao to Ai)
"Blue and Indigo"

In a series with too many characters in insignificant roles already, XEBEC somehow felt the need to introduce a new main/sub character in the second half of Argevollen. Enter ~~Natalie~~ Namie Portman (Uchida Maaya)---a talented pilot in training but inexperienced with real-world combat.

Denki-gai no Honya-san – 01

「ラブ&エロスフォーオール / ナイトメアビフォアカルナバル」 (Rabu & Erosu Foo Ooru / Naitomea Bifoa Karunabaru)
"Love & Ero For All / Nightmare Before Carnival"

After previewing the show for the Season Preview and having a good idea what this first episode would cover, I can't believe how much of a positive effect the transition to an anime had on this show.

Gundam Reconguista in G – 01, 02

By Kairi October 2, 2014

「謎のモビルスーツ」 & 「G-セルフ・起動！」 (Nazo no Mobiru Suutsu & G-Serufu Kidou!)
"The Mysterious Mobile Suit" & "G-Self, Start!"

It seems silly to only introduce one episode since two premiered, so have a double dose!

Final Impressions First Impressions Retrospective Look

Monthly Impressions – September 2014

By Cherrie October 2, 2014

Another Monthly Impressions post brought to you by the RC staff! This one's a little different though. Given that it's the end of the summer season (Noo! Summer is over!), these impressions will be a wrap up of our thoughts for this season's shows. For all the readers that have been asking for our impressions of how the season compared to our initial expectations, this is where you're going to get that information. If you wanted to get more thorough insights, most of the series will have their own finale posts available on the site as well. With that said, most of the anime I've seen this summer have been delightful and I can't wait to get on to fall in... a couple of days!
