By Stilts October 6, 2012

Continue (Continue~ Konteinyu~)
"Continue~ Continue~"

So one girl is trying to create a harem for the main character while another is beset by mysterious forces trying to force her into (finally) assassinating said protagonist. Even were To LOVE-Ru not such a well-known series, I can tell you this: they would have my attention!

Hayate no Gotoku! Can’t Take My Eyes Off You – 01

By Asobi October 5, 2012

(Daiichi Yoru)
"The First Night"

There might be plenty of new changes with the latest season, from the staff to the storyline, but Hayate no Gotoku! Can't Take My Eyes Off You does an admirable job of living up to the spirit of the franchise while giving the show a surprising air of freshness.

First Impressions Series Introduction Snapshots

Busou Shinki – 01

By Moomba October 5, 2012

(Taisetsuna Mono Mitsukemashita.)
"We Found Something Important"

While to some, mecha may be synonymous with giant robots, that's certainly not the case - Super Robots is just one of many subgenres that forms the much larger and more varied mecha genre. In Busou Shinki you won't find any of those, that's for sure. What you will find are loyal, extremely helpful, 15cm tall, intelligent, battle-ready gynoids!

First Impressions Series Introduction Zetsuen no Tempest

Zetsuen no Tempest – 01

By Zephyr October 4, 2012

(Mahoutsukai ha, Taru no Naka)
"The Sorceress in the Barrel"

Zetsuen no Tempest may have a generic appearance, but a dramatic opening filled with quotes from Hamlet, great animation by the studio Bones, and powerful themes are more than enough to make up for it.

Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai First Impressions Series Introduction

Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai – 01

By Stilts October 4, 2012

(Kaikou no ... Ja Ou Makoto Me)
"An Unforseen Encounter...the Tyrant's Eye of Truth"

Have you ever waved your hand at an automatic door (a train, an elevator, a grocery store front door) and been secretly delighted when it opened on cue? Don't lie; I know you have. Now what would happen if you kept doing that, out in the open for all to see...and it led to love? I wonder...

Shin Sekai Yori – 01

By Asobi October 3, 2012

(Wakaba No Kisetsu)
"Season of Fallen Leaves"

There's plenty to take in, but the superb presentation of its opening episode and the foreboding of things to come makes Shin Sekai Yori a definite keeper for the season.

CODE GEASS First Impressions OVA/Movie Series Introduction

CODE GEASS: Boukoku no Akito – 01

By Moomba October 2, 2012

(Yokuryuu wa Maiorita)
"The Wyvern Arrives"

I have to be honest, it was hard to be hyped for Boukoku no Akito. Yet somehow, seeing that the first OVA was finally available for viewing sparked a little something in me that only Code Geass is capable of.

Note: Just in case someone hasn't watched the original and has managed to avoid spoilers thus far (what a ridiculous idea!), heavy spoilers after the jump.
