Hundred – 01

By Stilts April 4, 2016

「リトルガーデン」 (Ritorugaaden)
"Little Garden"

Hundred needed the best adaptation it could get to elevate its average source material. So far, it's not getting it.

Gyakuten Saiban – 01

By Cherrie April 4, 2016

「はじめての逆転」 (Hajimete no Gyakuten)
“The First Turnaround”

It’s like a childhood dream come true. I feel like I’ve been the designated writer to blog all the childhood flashback/remakes lately.

First Impressions Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu Series Introduction

Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu – 01

By Stilts April 4, 2016

「始まりの終わりと終わりの始まり」 (Hajimari no Owari to Owari no Hajimari)
"The End of the Beginning and the Beginning of the End"

Impeccable execution and a 60-minute premiere starts Re:Zero in a strong position. I'm surprised, and pleasantly so; this felt like an improvement on the source.

Kumamiko – 01

By Takaii April 4, 2016

「クマと少女お別れの時」 (Kuma to Shoujo Owakare no Toki)
"Time For The Bear and the Girl To Part Ways"

While it may have started a bit slow and the timing of the humor could be tighter, I think Kuma Miko did a pretty decent job with its first episode.

First Impressions Macross Series Introduction

Macross Δ – 01

By Zephyr April 3, 2016

「戦場のワルキューレ」 (Senjo no Warukyure)
"Battlefield of the Valkyries"

Eight years after the debut of its previous iteration in Frontier, Macross is back and filled with the things we've come to love about the franchise.

Endride – 01

By Passerby April 3, 2016

「ライド」 (Raido)
"Ride"

I can't actually say all that much about Endride from just this pilot, except that it is a temptingly easy target.

First Impressions Gakusen Toshi Asterisk Series Introduction

Gakusen Toshi Asterisk Second Season – 01

By Takaii April 3, 2016

「万有天羅」 (Banyuu Tenra)
"Divine Revelations"

For those of you who enjoyed the first season but weren't sure if you were going to pick this second season up, PICK IT UP.

First Impressions Mayoiga Series Introduction

Mayoiga – 01

By Samu April 2, 2016

「鉄橋を叩いて渡る」 (Tekkyou wo Tataite Wataru) "Look Before You Leap"

Where do I begin with Mayoiga? It's eerie, dramatic, and silly enough to prove it doesn't take itself too seriously. It should be one hell of a ride.
