「私、神懸かってます」 (Watashi, Kami Kakattemasu)
“I’m Possessed”

I’m inherently suspicious of any anime that decides to open with awkward English, but this one was not actually that bad.

「ナンバーのついたバカたち!」 (Nanbaa no Tsuita Bakatachi)
“Idiots With Numbers!”

I’m not sure how i feel about Nanbaka. It’s great when it isn’t taking itself too seriously, but I’m not sure how well it does when it starts to dive back into the real world. Luckily, it only happened for the last few minutes of the show and everything before that was just pure mindless fun.

「フーカ・レヴェントン」 (Fuuka Reventon)
“Fuuka Reventon”

It’s like Nanoha ViVid, but . . . it’s basically just like ViVid.

「Bloodivores」

Another anime about vampires… and how does this one differ from all the rest?

「D坂蜃気楼」 (D Zaka Shinkirō)
“Mirage on D. Hill”

It’s an eccentric sort of mystery

「黒」 (Kuro Oubu)
“Black Oubu”

No waiting—action now!

「January」 (January)
“January”

Even though I thought non-touken players would have a tough time watching this show, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the show super fun to watch, everything about this first episode felt on-point and true to what I thought a Touken Ranbu show would be about.
