By Samu April 8, 2015

「謎のクラスメート」 (Nazo no Kurasumeto ) "The Mysterious Classmate"

Better late than never, Kyoukai no RINNE finally hits our screens, and even if it wasn’t extraordinary, it was pretty solid first episode.

First Impressions Hibike! Euphonium Series Introduction

Hibike! Euphonium – 01

By Samu April 7, 2015

「ようこそハイスクール」 (Youkoso Hai Sukuuru) "Welcome, High School"

Before you say it, no, Hibike! Euphonium is not the second coming of K-On! This is a novel adaptation filled with music, drama, and a dash of slice-of-life, seen through the eyes of a main character that feels very real. If anything, this first episode was more like Hyouka than anything else KyoAni has produced.

Arslan Senki First Impressions Series Introduction

Arslan Senki – 01

By Stilts April 6, 2015

「エクバターナの栄華」 (Ekubataana no Eiga)
"Glory of Ecbatana"

Arslan Senki is fantasy in the old style, with princes and kingdoms, invasions and politics, slavery and crusades, and battles involving tens of thousands. The first episode goes to great lengths to show us exactly who Prince Arslan is, and it does it well.

Denpa Kyoushi – 01

By Passerby April 6, 2015

「高校教師始めました」 (Kōkō kyōshi hajimemashita)
"I'm a High School Teacher Now"

If Great Teacher Onizuka had a long-lost younger sibling who had spent all of his life abroad, it would be Denpa Kyoushi.

First Impressions Series Introduction Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabukome wa Machigatteiru

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku – 01

By Zanibas April 6, 2015

「何故、彼らが奉仕部に来たのか誰も知らない。」 (Naze Karera ga Hōshi bu ni kita no ka Daremoshiranai.)
"Nobody Knows Why They Came to the Service Club."

Yahari stops for no one; the show keeps chugging through as if it had never stopped. After two years of absence, one of romantic comedy's most awkward and uneasy works of art has returned for round two. Despite changes in the art, studio, and the budget, the show has kept up well for its first episode, maintaining the same dilemmas and subtleties that drew fans to season one.
