"The Shackles...of Studying Hard"

Romance engage!

First Impressions Jormungand

Jormungand: Perfect Order – 04

By Zephyr October 31, 2012

(Kyasupa to Yona)
"Kasper and Jonah"

This episode had more flashbacks than expected, but serves as a solid set-up for the next arc. And after going through perhaps the worst East Coast storm ever, I'm lucky to even have electricity to watch anything at all!

First Impressions Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo – 04

By Stilts October 30, 2012

(Shoku wo Kae ru Sekai)
"A World Changing Color"

Stories are at their best when they touch upon the cornerstones of human life, on emotions and trials and tribulations its audience has faced and perhaps not yet overcome. That's what we saw here, both in the effect of Shiina's manga on herself and Sorata, and in the story's message to us all.

First Impressions Girls und Panzer

Girls und Panzer – 04

By Moomba October 30, 2012

(Taichou, Ganbarimasu!)
"I'll do my best as commander!"

For the fourth week in a row Girls und Panzer delivers, retaining its spot as one of the best offerings of the season.

First Impressions Magi

Magi – 04

By Zanibas October 30, 2012

(Sougen no Min)
"The People of the Plains"

"My people were blessed by the Magi and can deflect arrows! What can your people do?"

First Impressions Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun – 05

By Zanibas October 29, 2012

(Yoshida Kunchi no Jijou)
"Yoshida Family Matters"

Today's episode wasn't all sweet as Yuuzan would like, but rather shook the foundations of Mitty and Haru's relationship. Also, enter Hanazawa Kana.

First Impressions Little Busters!

Little Busters! – 04

By Guardian Enzo October 29, 2012

(Shiawase no Hidamari o Tsukuru no desu)
"I'll Make a Happy Sunny Spot"

When I said Maeda Jun series always have at least one moemoe character or two I didnt think Id be proven right quite so quickly.

First Impressions Shin Sekai Yori

Shin Sekai Yori – 05

By Asobi October 29, 2012

(Tobo no Nettaiya)
"A Sweltering Night on the Run"

Following last episodes game-changer, Shin Sekai Yori is upping the ante considerably on all fronts. The characters are seeing quite a bit of action in more ways than one and the scale of the story is getting larger than ever. And the best part? Weve barely scraped the surface of this show.

First Impressions Hiiro no Kakera

Hiiro no Kakera: Dai Ni Shou – 05

By BakaMochi October 29, 2012

(Namida no Shinjitsu)
"The Truth Behind the Tears"

Oy, oy, oy oy, Grandma. I don't even

First Impressions Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse

Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse – 17

By Zephyr October 28, 2012

(Soku Kuraki Tsuioku)
"Dark Recollection"

The mock battles continue, but there's an even tastier main course served up this episode. Let's just say, the main title might be Total Eclipse, but "Total Jealousy" wouldn't have been too far off the mark either.
