「桜の園」 (Sakura no En)
“Immature Knights”
This is Princess Lover! with an extra girl, a bland main character, and jousting. Fortunately the girls are still great.

「運命の一球」
“One Pitch of Fate”
So far, Fall 2013 has a distinctly old school flavor to it – at least the tiny corner of the schedule that overlaps with my tastes, anyway.

「勇者になれなかった俺はレジを打っています。」 (Yuusha ni Narenakatta ore wa Reji o Utte Imasu.)
“I Couldn’t Be a Hero, So I’m Working the Register”
A little ecchi, a little funny, a little endearing, good pacing…this first episode didn’t jump out at me (except for the boobs), but it was a solid effort all around.

「予習篇」 (Yoshuu-hen)
“Recap”
I’ve seen all this before, and I’m still not sure what’s going on. I do know one thing, though – it’s totally awesome!
Miss Monochrome The Animation – 01

「#01 FALL」
Secret: this isn’t an advertisement for Miss Monochrome, but rather an advertisement for Roomba vacuums.

The happy end to a long and tumultuous journey. |
I bet you didn’t expect such a dramatic title for the cute-girls-doing-airsoft show, eh? Funny thing is, it deserves it. This is one of those rare shows that risks making us hate its protagonist in order to give us a better, more rich story full of real drama, genuine character development, and at the end of the day, an uplifting tale made all the better for the darkness through which it descended. This may be the best show you’re not watching this season.

「Episode 1」
I have the best luck in the world because not only do I get to kick off this season’s anime introductions, I get to start it off with DIABOLIK LOVERS. In a nutshell, my reactions for this episode resembled my reactions while reading 50 Shades of Grey… but with vampires.
RWBY – 01

「Ruby Rose」
As a special treat, here is an introduction to RWBY (pronounced “Ruby”), an anime anime-style web series by the folks over at Rooster Teeth Productions. If you haven’t heard of it yet, I think you may like it.

「追いかけて」 (Oi kakete)
“Pursuit”
The calm before the storm – as the secrets, stupor and melodrama are laid bare one by one! Welcome to “A Town Where You Rage”!

「第1柱 devil and realist」 (Dai Ichi-Hashira devil and realist)
“First Pillar: devil and realist”
I counted zero women in that premiere, when was the last time that happened?
