「炎の巨人」 (Honou no Kyojin)
“Fire Titan”
The magical melee battles are great, as are the mecha slugfests; no one should be surprised that the action is solid. But the story they’re trying to tell is fundamentally sound, and the second episode patches any holes the first episode left. This could be one of winter’s sleepers.

「騎馬戦は足元を崩すべし アマゾンシティ総力戦 II」 (Gibasen wa Ashimoto o Kuzusubeshi Amazon Shiti Souryoku-sen II)
“In a Cavalry Battle, Knock Down the Foothold The All-Out War in Amazon City II”
Listen to the words that are coming out of my mouth, Heavy Object: Destroying Objects without using an Object is not some big revelation. You’ve shown it multiple times yourself.

「きなこ棒と生いきビールと…／笛ラムネとめんこと…」 (Kinako bou to Namaiki Biiru to… / Fueramune to Menko to…)
“Kinako Sticks and Namaiki Beer and… / Ramune Whistle and Menko and…”
Candy is war, Saya has ulterior motives, and Hotaru is zany-moe.

「この自称女神と異世界転生を！」 (Kono Jishou Megami to i Sekai Tensei o!)
“The Self-Proclaimed Goddess and Reincarnation in Another World”
Are you tired of the main protagonist of your RPG-inspired anime being overpowered? How about one who’s not competent at all? Everyone’s personality is broken, and it’s a lot of fun.

「朱の戦姫」 (Shu no Senhime)
“The Crimson War Princess”
This season’s standard magical-fantasy-action-harem anime. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. So, how does it rank?

「1」
It’s a four minute long short about a magical girl who wears a swimsuit. That’s it so far.

「#1」
It’s a story of four boys and their girlfriends—they hope. Combine half a of shot idealized male friendship, half a shot goofy romantic fun, mix with something sweet and serve with a smile.

「剣豪」 (Kengou)
“Blade Master”
A good, if a bit wonky, first battle between the peoples of Yamato and the Uzuurussha.

「魔女の息子」 (Majonomusuko)
“The Witch’s Son”
Bubuki Buranki builds a mythology in its first episode, then does its best to pull us in. Its rough, and the potential isn’t realized, but the potential for a good original story is absolutely there.

「適合者 -アデプタ-」 (Tekigou-sha – Adaputa)
“Adepter”
This is a kiddie cyborg magical girl series, but with sexy cosplay and pantsu shots. Who exactly is this made for again?
