「「はじめまして」から始まるRPG」 (‘Hajimemashite’ kara Hajimaru RPG )
“The RPG That Begins with, ‘Nice to Meet You'”

Isn’t the title of this pilot literally a marketing tagline? That’s amazing.

「ギャルな女の子って本当ですか?」 (Galkona Onnanokotte Hontoudesuka?)
“Is True You’re A Gyaru?”

I’ve watched a lot of short-format shows in my time, but it’s been quite a while since I’ve liked one this much right from the start.

「開宴」 (Kaien)
“The Banquet Begins”

GATE returns like it’s never been gone, with a set-up episode for the Flaming Dragon Arc and its battles to come.

「私の芸術的人生の7年間を要約する現実的寓意」 (Watashi no Geijutsu Teki Jinsei no 7 Nenkan o Youyaku suru Genjitsu Teki Guii)
“A Visceral Allegory of Seven Years of My Artistic Life”

Sekkou Boys – The tale of a 22 year-old art school graduate who suffers trauma from marble statues and is assigned to be the manager of a new idol group comprised of four talking marble statues. It’s just as ridiculous as it sounds, and it’s kind of amazing.

「夢を追う少女」 (Yume wo Ou Shōjo)
“Girls Who Chase After Their Dreams”

Pleasant charm, natural exposition, and hidden potential—it’s all a pilot can ask for.

「File 1: コー​​ド No. 538」 (File 1 : Kō ​​do No. 538)
“File 1: Code No. 538”

Anime future police sentai. It’s as flashy as it sounds.

「メロディアスな暗号」 (Merodiasu na Angou)
“Melodious Cipher”

I think people are talking about the wrong things with this series, but I guess that’s to be expected.

「空を征く船」 (Sora wo Seikufune)
“The Ship That Sails in the Sky”

You know what? This show is actually pretty fun!

「日下さんとマシュマロ」 (Kusaka-san to Mashumaro)
“Kusaka-san and Marshmallow”

Finally, the Paul Blart: Mall Cop anime that we all deserve. But there’s a twist – it’s actually really good! It’s sweet and addictive, just like marshmallows, and a serious contender for the best short of the Winter season.

「スシポリス参上」 (Sushiporisu Sanjyou!)
“Calling The Sushi Police!”

Sushi Police is a pretty wild show. In both the literal and the figurative sense.
