Series Introduction - Random Curiosity

Gundam: The Origin – 01

「初めての旅」 (Aoi Hitomi no Kyasubaru)
“Blue-Eyed Casval”

A Gundam prequel with the perfect balance of familial and political drama – what more could we ask for?

God Eater – 01

「空木レンカ」 (Utsugi Renka)
“Utsugi Renka”

It doesn’t break the typical end of the world mold, but the action makes it an interesting watch nonetheless.

Cherrie July 10, 2015 July 10, 2015 First Impressions / Series Introduction / Snapshots

Prison School – 01

「ノゾキ大作戦」 (Nozoki Daisakusen)
“The Peep Job”

I’ll start by saying that I don’t think I’m the intended audience for this show… and perhaps that’s because I’m jealous that Meiko’s bust defies gravity.

Takaii July 9, 2015 July 10, 2015 First Impressions / Gakkou Gurashi! / Series Introduction

Gakkou Gurashi! – 01

「はじまり」 (Hajimari)
“Beginning”

I’ve been dying to find out how Lerche was going to handle their adaptation of Gakkou Gurashi and I loved it for the most part.

Stilts July 8, 2015 July 15, 2015 First Impressions / Series Introduction / Sore ga Seiyuu!

Sore ga Seiyuu! – 01

「アフレコ」 (Afureko)
“Recording”

This is probably the best—and funniest—show you weren’t planning to watch. It’s a seiyuu-specific Shirobako with tons of heartwarming laughs. I highly recommend it.

Samu July 8, 2015 July 8, 2015 First Impressions / Series Introduction / Snapshots

Himouto! Umaru-chan – 01

「うまるとおにいちゃん」 (Umaru to Onii-chan)
“Umaru and Onii-chan”

If you liked what Dogakobo did with Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun or Love Lab, then Himouto! Umaru-chan will be right up your alley.

Cherrie July 8, 2015 February 12, 2018 First Impressions / Overlord / Series Introduction

Overlord – 01

「終わりと始まり」 (Owari to Hajimari)
“End and Beginning”

Another story – about a man trapped inside a video game.

Stilts July 7, 2015 July 7, 2015 First Impressions / Series Introduction / To LOVE-Ru

To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2nd – 01

「Unconsciously～頭ふわふわ☆心どきどき～」 (Unconsciously ~ Atama Fuwafuwa ☆ Kokoro Dokidoki ~)
“Unconsciously ~Light Head☆Beating Heart~”

The To LOVE-Ru anime is back, with all the classics: Rito being clumsy, Momo scheming, zany hilarity that doesn’t effect the status quo, and intrusive whiteout censorship. Basically, it’s another season that’s telling us to buy the BDs, though the second half was hilarious.
