「エクバターナの栄華」 (Ekubataana no Eiga)
“Glory of Ecbatana”
Arslan Senki is fantasy in the old style, with princes and kingdoms, invasions and politics, slavery and crusades, and battles involving tens of thousands. The first episode goes to great lengths to show us exactly who Prince Arslan is, and it does it well.

「夏休み、冥界へGO!」 (Natsuyasumi, Meikai e GO!)
“Summer in Hell”
A naked pillow fight over Issei set to devilish music. High School DxD is baaaack!

「魔封街結社」 (Ma-fuu gai kessha)
“Mafuu District Association”
That was one fascinating mess.

「高校教師始めました」 (Kōkō kyōshi hajimemashita)
“I’m a High School Teacher Now”
If Great Teacher Onizuka had a long-lost younger sibling who had spent all of his life abroad, it would be Denpa Kyoushi.

「何故、彼らが奉仕部に来たのか誰も知らない。」 (Naze Karera ga Hōshi bu ni kita no ka Daremoshiranai.)
“Nobody Knows Why They Came to the Service Club.”
Yahari stops for no one; the show keeps chugging through as if it had never stopped. After two years of absence, one of romantic comedy’s most awkward and uneasy works of art has returned for round two. Despite changes in the art, studio, and the budget, the show has kept up well for its first episode, maintaining the same dilemmas and subtleties that drew fans to season one.

「セイクリッド・ハート」 (Seikuriddo Haato)
“Sacred Heart”
This is a Nanoha series through and through, with more characters than you can shake an Intelligent Device at. Not much happened in this premiere other than introductions.

「はじめてのパートナー」 (Hajimete no Pātonā)
“The First Partner”
‘So God created man in his own image … male and female he created them.’

「血脈のセカイ」 (Kechimyaku no Sekai)
“The World of Blood Legacy”
There were definitely some Shingeki no Kyojin vibes here, mixed with a style similar to Ao no Exorcist. A good combination, if you ask me. Is the next big shonen anime adaptation? Time will tell…

「戦端 もう一人の僕」 (Sentan Mohitori no Boku)
“Open Hostilities: My Other Self”
Welcome to Gunslinger Stratos: a world where flashes of potential hide among a multitude of questions and a lackluster introduction.
