Etotama – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「猫娘揚々」 (Nekomusume Yōyō)
“The Exuberant Cat Girl”
The growth of 3DCGI in anime is a heated topic in discussions. Etotama consequently makes for a good opportunity to discuss these points.
Nisekoi: – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「コレカラ／キヅイテ」 (Korekara / Kidzuite)
“From Now On / Please Notice”
Nisekoi is back, and this time it’s sticking to the ‘Girl of the Week’ format.
Punch Line – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「パンツパニック」 (Pantsupanikku)
“Panties Panic”
Goofy, ecchi, silly, quirky, and without a lick of sense in sight, Punch Line is either the triumphant return of old school GAINAX-style anime (of the FLCL vintage), or an incomprehensible mess. Or both.
Houkago no Pleiades – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「流星予報:雨時々流れ星」 (Ryuusei Yohou: Ame Tokidoki Nagareboshi)
“Meteor Shower Forecast: Rain with Occasional Shooting Stars”
For those of you that have been following RC for a while now (or just long-time viewers of anime in general), you’ll remember an ONA that aired years ago by the same name.
Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「青春プレリュード」 (Seishun Pureryūdo)
“Youthful Prelude”
Mikagura School Suite is alternatively the story of a crazy girl enrolled at a boarding school for the superpowered, or the story of a crazy girl committed to an insane asylum. Either reading works.
SHOW BY ROCK!! – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「Have a nice MUSIC!!」
From Sanrio, Bones and Studio GOONEY’s comes an anime about a young girl named Hijirikawa Cyan.

 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「謎のクラスメート」 (Nazo no Kurasumeto )
“The Mysterious Classmate”
Better late than never, Kyoukai no RINNE finally hits our screens, and even if it wasn’t extraordinary, it was pretty solid first episode.
Hibike! Euphonium – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「ようこそハイスクール」 (Youkoso Hai Sukuuru)
“Welcome, High School”
Before you say it, no, Hibike! Euphonium is not the second coming of K-On! This is a novel adaptation filled with music, drama, and a dash of slice-of-life, seen through the eyes of a main character that feels very real. If anything, this first episode was more like Hyouka than anything else KyoAni has produced.
