「炎の巨人」 (Honou no Kyojin)
"Fire Titan"

The magical melee battles are great, as are the mecha slugfests; no one should be surprised that the action is solid. But the story they're trying to tell is fundamentally sound, and the second episode patches any holes the first episode left. This could be one of winter's sleepers.

「学園崩壊」 (Gakuen hōkai)
"Academy Destruction"

Steps in the right direction.
