「テンパってフィッシング」 (Tenpatte Fisshingu)
“Panicked Fishing”
I didn’t know what I was getting into with Tsuritama. Even after spending time with the first episode, I honestly still can’t tell you what the show is about. What I can confidently say though, is that it’s the most refreshing show I’ve seen coming out of the last few seasons’ worth of anime.

「ボーン・スリッピー／Deep blue」 (Bōn Surippī)
“Born Slippy”
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck.

「第三種接近遭遇、的な」 (Dai-san-shuu Sekkin Souguu, Teki na)
“Like a Close Encounter of the Third Kind”
Don’t you hate it when you’re running away from a demon only to turn the corner and hit a dead end?

「ガンメタル・キャリコロード」 (Gan Metaru Kyariko Rodo)
“Gun Metal – Calico Road”
Yes, everyone knows that you should watch Fate/Zero this season. But you know what? You should be watching Jormungand too.

「幽霊乙女」 (Yuurei Otome)
“Ghost Maiden”
A ghost with amnesia for president? I want to join this club!

「謎の彼女”」 (Nazo no Kanojo)
“Mysterious Girlfriend”
If you can wipe the drool away, what’s left is a 90s-throwback anime that bypasses 26 episodes of flirting. This is Nazo no Kanojo X.

「未遠川血戦」 (Miongawa Kessen)
“The Bloody Battle in Mion River”
The long wait for the return of Fate/Zero was more than worth it.

「黒子はボクです」 (Kuroko wa Boku Desu)
“I am Kuroko”
I’m not sure if this is the series to break the long-standing record of sports shounen failing to make a splash at RC, but quality-wise it’s off to a pretty good start. And no one is going to blame me for lack of trying…

「あっち⇔こっち」 (Acchi Kocchi)
“That Way⇔This Way”
After reluctantly picking up Acchi Kocchi after losing a few of my other picks for the season, I’m still amazed at how angry I would have been had I not covered this show. While the preview might have bashed on the show, I absolutely loved the first episode of this quirky slice-of-life.

Accel World starts off by introducing our protagonist as a short, chubby boy who has captured the attention of the most popular girl in school.
