「我他人を思う」 (Ga Tanin o Omou)
“I Think About Others”
Here we go. The start to what could be the series to watch for this season.
Senki Zesshou Symphogear GX – 01

「奇跡の殺戮者」 (Kiseki no Satsuriku Sha)
“Slaughterers of Miracles”
Talk about starting things off with a bang.
Rokka no Yuusha – 01

「地上最強の男」 (Chijou Saikyou no Otoko )
“The Strongest Man in the World”
I had high expectations going into Rokka no Yuusha, which turned out to be exactly what I thought it would be: a spunky fantasy adventure with some killer mystery at the core, set in an Aztec-inspired world packed with detailed lore and history. Count me in.

「メタモルフォーゼ 」 (Metamorufooze)
“Metamorphosis”
Eggs – that look like eggs but aren’t completely eggs. How ingenious!

「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.

「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.

「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.

「人間椅子(前編)」 (Ningen isu (Zenpen))
“Human Chair (Prequel)”
Welcome back, NoitaminA – it’s almost like you never left.

「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.

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.
