11 - Random Curiosity

Kyoukai no RINNE 2 – 01

By Samu April 11, 2016

「黒猫朧」 (Kuro Neko Oboro) "Black Cat Oboro

Kyoukai no RINNE is back, meaning another comedy worth your time is added to an already packed spring season.

First Impressions Mayoiga

Mayoiga – 02

By Samu April 11, 2016

「一寸先は霧」 (Issunsaki wa Kiri) "Blinding Mist"

Nanakimura seems like a really nice place. I'm sure nothing will go wrong and nobody will go missing-- Oh, too late.

First Impressions Kiznaiver Series Introduction

Kiznaiver – 01

By Jig April 11, 2016

「一目あつたその日から一絆の花咲くこともある」 (Hitome Atsuta Sonohi Kara Ichi Kizuna no Hana Saku Koto mo Aru)
"Sometimes, a Bond Can Bloom from the First Day Eye Contact is Made"

Strongest potential I've yet seen for a seriously powerful show.

First Impressions Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu – 02

By Stilts April 10, 2016

「再会の魔女」 (Saikai no Majo)
"Reunion with the Witch"

I can't decide if this frustration is the right one or not.

First Impressions Hai-Furi Series Introduction

Hai-Furi – 01

By Passerby April 10, 2016

「初航海でピンチ！」 (Hatsu Kōkai de Pinchi! )
"In a Pinch on Our Maiden Voyage!"

My best guess for Hai-Furi is Girls und Panzer, on the high seas, and even more dangerous.

First Impressions Kuromukuro Series Introduction

Kuromukuro – 01

By Jig April 10, 2016

「鬼の降る空」 (Oni no Furu Sora)
"A Demon Falls from the Sky"

Kuromukuro's debut episode makes a convincing case for its worth thanks to spectacular visuals and a slow, digestible pace.

First Impressions Flying Witch Series Introduction

Flying Witch – 01

By Takaii April 10, 2016

「6年振りの不思議」 (Rokunenfuri no Fushigi)
"Mystery After Six Years"

TL;DR If you’re looking for a fun and funny slice-of-life that feels a little like Kiki’s Delivery Service mashed together with a little bit of Nichijou, there’s no going wrong with Flying Witch!

12-Sai. Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki – 01

By Samu April 9, 2016

「キス・キライ・スキ」 (Kisu ・ Kirai ・ Suki) "Kiss ・ Hate ・ Kiss"

And now it's time for something that's likely to go horribly underwatched, even though it was one of the better premieres of an already impressive spring season. If you like good old fashion shojo romance, then 12-sai is the anime for you.

First Impressions Series Introduction Shounen Maid

Shounen Maid – 01

By Guardian Enzo April 9, 2016

「はたらかざる者食うべからず」 (Hatarakazaru Mono Kuubekarazu)
"Those Who Do Not Work Shall Not Eat"

Shounen Maid is a series that will surprise a lot of people - if they give it the chance.

Sakamoto Desu ga? – 01

By Guardian Enzo April 9, 2016

「1年2組坂本君／ビー・クワイエット」 (1-Nen 2-kumi Sakamoto-kun/Bī Kuwaietto)
"Class 1-2's Sakamoto-kun"

I think it's fair to say Sakamoto desu ga? is not going for photorealism or complex character drama. It's just trying to be hilarious, and it accomplishes it much of the time.
