「ライブがはねたら」 (Raibu ga Hanetara)
“When the Concert Ends”
Adventurers are change, whereas People of the Land aren’t fully formed people.

「オデュッセイア騎士団」 (Odeyusseia Kishi-dan)
“Odyssey Knights”
Roe2-oneesan and Dariella have joined your party! One of those was probably a bad idea.

「真昼の吸血鬼」 (Mahiru no Kyuuketsuki)
“The Midday Vampire”
It’s a lighthearted journey full of gags and setbacks that are met only with excitement, until they come across a troublesome vampire. Then it’s all that, but with more glasses adjustments.

「旅立ち」 (Tabidachi)
“Setting Off”
For all last week was rushed and amateurish, this one was well paced, well told, and roundly enjoyable. And adorable!
Seiken Tsukai no World Break – 01

「転生せし者」 (Tensei Seshi Mono)
“The Reincarnator”
Of all the magical-fantasy-action-harem anime based on a light novels I’ve watched so far this season, this one may not be the worst, but it disappointed me the most. This first episode is an absolute mess.

「カナミ、ゴー！イースト！」 (Kanami, Gou! Iisuto!)
“Kanami, Go East!”
There were interesting parts, but mostly it’s an episode full of Kanami-related infodumps that fails to flesh out any of the characters, save Kanami herself.

「妹ができた日」 (Imouto ga Dekita hi)
“The Day I Got a Little Sister”
Yes, this is a magical-fantasy-action-harem-ecchi anime, but so far it’s executing well on both the concept and its own story. I was optimistic going in, and it hasn’t let me down yet.

「焔牙(ブレイズ)」 (Homura Kiba (Bureizu))
“Blaze”
I didn’t come in with high expectations, so I wasn’t that disappointed. I was still disappointed, though.
Shingeki no Bahamut: GENESIS – Favarooo!

Certainty of death, *small* chance of success… What are we waiting for? |
This is how you do a card game adaptation. Step 1: Take the basic mechanics and/or setting of the game. Step 2: Create an interesting cast of characters who work well together, even if they need to be original. Step 3: Use the setting as a jumping off point to tell a good story. That seems simple, but the key is to not remain shackled to the game. Use its assets, but always remember the most important thing: tell a good story. That’s what Shingeki no Bahamut GENESIS did, and it worked damn well.
