「はじめての逆転」 (Hajimete no Gyakuten)
“The First Turnaround”
It’s like a childhood dream come true. I feel like I’ve been the designated writer to blog all the childhood flashback/remakes lately.

「始まりの終わりと終わりの始まり」 (Hajimari no Owari to Owari no Hajimari)
“The End of the Beginning and the Beginning of the End”
Impeccable execution and a 60-minute premiere starts Re:Zero in a strong position. I’m surprised, and pleasantly so; this felt like an improvement on the source.

「クマと少女 お別れの時」 (Kuma to Shoujo Owakare no Toki)
“Time For The Bear and the Girl To Part Ways”
While it may have started a bit slow and the timing of the humor could be tighter, I think Kuma Miko did a pretty decent job with its first episode.

「戦場のワルキューレ」 (Senjo no Warukyure)

Eight years after the debut of its previous iteration in Frontier, Macross is back and filled with the things we’ve come to love about the franchise.

「ライド」 (Raido)
“Ride”
I can’t actually say all that much about Endride from just this pilot, except that it is a temptingly easy target.

「万有天羅」 (Banyuu Tenra)
“Divine Revelations”
For those of you who enjoyed the first season but weren’t sure if you were going to pick this second season up, PICK IT UP.
Mayoiga – 01

「鉄橋を叩いて渡る」 (Tekkyou wo Tataite Wataru)
“Look Before You Leap”
Where do I begin with Mayoiga? It’s eerie, dramatic, and silly enough to prove it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It should be one hell of a ride.

「空条承太郎！東方仗助に会う」 (Kujo jotaro! Higashikatajosuke ni au)

「風が吹く」 (Kaze ga Fuku)

Ushio to Tora returns for its final cour in what starts off as endearing and romantic before everything is turned upside down and we’re flung back into the action.
