After attending Anime-Expo for a handful of years, this year's convention definitely took me by surprise in more than a few ways.

First Impressions Series Introduction Sore ga Seiyuu!

Sore ga Seiyuu! – 01

By Stilts July 8, 2015

「アフレコ」 (Afureko)
"Recording"

This is probably the best---and funniest---show you weren't planning to watch. It's a seiyuu-specific Shirobako with tons of heartwarming laughs. I highly recommend it.

By Samu July 8, 2015

「うまるとおにいちゃん」 (Umaru to Onii-chan) "Umaru and Onii-chan"

First Impressions Series Introduction To LOVE-Ru

To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2nd – 01

By Stilts July 7, 2015

「Unconsciously～頭ふわふわ☆心どきどき～」 (Unconsciously ~ Atama Fuwafuwa ☆ Kokoro Dokidoki ~)
"Unconsciously ~Light Head☆Beating Heart~"

The To LOVE-Ru anime is back, with all the classics: Rito being clumsy, Momo scheming, zany hilarity that doesn't effect the status quo, and intrusive whiteout censorship. Basically, it's another season that's telling us to buy the BDs, though the second half was hilarious.

Akagami no Shirayukihime First Impressions Series Introduction

Akagami no Shirayukihime – 01

By Cherrie July 7, 2015

「出会い…色づく運命」 (Deai... Irodzuku Unmei)
"Encounter... Changing the Color of Fate"

Exactly what I expected from the premiere of Akagami no Shirayukihime.

First Impressions Non Non Biyori Series Introduction

Non Non Biyori Repeat – 01

By Takaii July 7, 2015

「一年生になった」 (Ichinensei ni Natta)
"I Became A First Grader"

Starting the second season off right, there was more Ren-chon than we could shake a stick at.

「告白しよう!」 (Kokuhaku Shiyo u!) "I'll Confess!"

We have a boy with the inability to lie or keep a secret, and then there's his high school crush, who just so happens so be a vampire in disguise. What could go possibly wrong?
