You know, I'm a big fan of shonen adventure series. I'm also a big fan of wizards, and as it so happens I'm a very big fan of those two things getting combined. Radiant, much like Black Clover, Fairy Tail, and (fight me on this) Naruto before it, is one such coupling. The first episode … Continue reading First Impressions: Radiant
This is an anime involving samurai, magic clocks, and really bad fashion choices. You've been warned. This show is weird. It's not a bad weird, necessarily, but it is a distracting weird. The art style is nice, the the animation is a little simplistic, and I like the music, the pacing keeps jumping around, so … Continue reading First Impressions: BAKUMATSU
Just based on the title card, this looks like an anime about actors and popularity contests. Oh god, is this an Idol Anime? Please don't be an Idol Anime. It's not an idol anime! Huzzah! It is about actors, though. This anime was weird. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it or not. The animation … Continue reading First Impressions: Dakaichi – I’m being harassed by the sexiest man of the year-
So, just based on the title card, this is a sports anime about sumo wrestling, with only one character that has the traditional sumo body. This should be... interesting. So, I gotta be honest. I did not like this show much. The animation was decent and all, but everything about it just screamed Generic Sports … Continue reading First Impressions: Hinomaru Sumo
I've already seen a few gifs of this one floating around on tumblr, which leads me to believe this series is going to be the Anime of Choice for internet funnymen and hentai-addicted weeaboos for the season. The last two series I can recall getting this treatment off the top of my head were both … Continue reading First Impressions: UzaMeido!
I like vampires. They're usually a good time, and nocturnal monsters are always a delight. They're also good fodder for comedy due to their absolute cavalcade of drawbacks, which is probably why this season is giving us a cute slice of life anime about one. Nosferatu is a top tier waifu, by the eyes. While … Continue reading First Impressions: Tonari no Kyuketsuki-san
In a slight change from this blog's usual MO, I actually know a little bit about this premier going into it! It's an original anime about zombies. Hey, it's still more than I usually know ahead of time. Of all the things I expected this anime to be, a death metal idol anime was not … Continue reading First Impressions: ZOMBIE LAND SAGA
This series needs a shorter name, because I never wanna type that again in my life. The English title, Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, isn't much better, and to be honest, does not give me much hope for the content of this first episode. Apparently this is one of those vaguely melancholy … Continue reading First Impressions: Seishun Buta Yarō wa Bunny Girl-senpai no Yume wo Minai
Okay, so, in the interest of full disclosure, I don't care one way or the other about sports anime. I don't hate it, but it's not really my bag of tea. That being said, I actually... kind of enjoyed this one? Like, a lot. I was surprised. And not just because of the dog. … Continue reading First Impressions: Run with the Wind
The kitten was sleeping on my lap when I started this episode so I wasn't able to write an intro with my pre-watch impressions. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your viewpoint) this is a 3 minute anime paced like a 20 minute anime so nothing happened that I can comment on. The premise has … Continue reading First Impressions: Jingai-san no Yome
