GATE: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakeri – 01

By Passerby July 4, 2015

「自衛隊、異世界へ行く」 (Jieitai, Isekai e Iku)
"The Self-Defense Force Goes to Another World"

For once, I'm less concerned about what an anime is and more about what it could be.

Aoharu x Kikanjuu – 01

By Samu July 4, 2015

「死なない殺し合いを始めようか」 (Shina nai Koroshiai o Hajimeyo u ka ) "Let's Start This Deathless Death Match"

I don’t exactly know what I was expecting from Aoharu x Kikanjuu, but I certainly didn’t think it would be this good.

Classroom Crisis First Impressions Series Introduction

Classroom Crisis – 01

By Passerby July 4, 2015

「遅れてきた転校生」 (Okurete Kita Tenkōsei)
"The Delayed Transfer Student"

Not really a romantic comedy, not really a space opera, this first episode of Classroom Crisis refuses to be pigeonholed.

Okusama ga Seitokaichou! – 01

By Stilts July 2, 2015

「生徒会長の嫁ぎ先」 (Seito Kaichou no Totsugi-saki)
"The Student Council President's Married-into Family"

A lot flirty, a good bit ecchi ... and yet, the short format makes even this simple story seem simultaneously rushed and lethargic, denying us the time it takes to properly enjoy the antics. At least for this first episode.

Final Impressions First Impressions Retrospective Look

Monthly Impressions – June 2015

By Cherrie July 2, 2015

With all the recent posts, I didn’t want to clutter the front page with more impressions, but I haven’t forgotten about June’s finales. This wraps up our spring season and I’m sad to see it go because there were honestly some gems in here that I enjoyed more than I expected. As a whole though, there’s plenty of opportunities for future sequels here and some of them have even been confirmed already! That's something to look forward to in the future. In the meantime, let’s take a step back and talk about ones that finished up in June. Love to hear what everyone liked/didn’t like and how their spring season went compared to their expectations.

First Impressions GANGSTA. Series Introduction

GANGSTA. – 01

By Samu July 2, 2015

「NAUGHTY BOYS」

GANGSTA. is here to kick off the new summer season. It's gritty and cruel, and with more sexual violence than I would have liked, but there's certainly nothing else quite like it right now.
