THE ROLLING GIRLS – 01

By Takaii January 12, 2015

「キング・オブ・ルーキー」 (Kingu Obu Rookii)
"King Of Rookies"

I'm not quite sure what the I just watched but what we got felt like a strange mixture of cool and confusing.

「このみが尽きても許さない」 (Kono Mi ga Tsukitemo Yurusanai) "I Will Never Forgive You"

This was like watching the first episode all over again, except much less shocking this time around.

「転生せし者」 (Tensei Seshi Mono)
"The Reincarnator"

Of all the magical-fantasy-action-harem anime based on a light novels I've watched so far this season, this one may not be the worst, but it disappointed me the most. This first episode is an absolute mess.

「完全なる乙女」 (Kanzen'naru Otome) "Perfect Virgin"

There's potential here for an impressive historical action filled with war, witches, dragons, and sex jokes.

「全力でやってるだけなんで」 (Zenryoku de Yatterdu Dakenande)

After a length hiatus (unless you're like me and marathoned the past two seasons within a few weeks), Kuroko no Basuke makes it triumphant return.

Durarara!!x2 Shou – 01

By Passerby January 12, 2015

「百聞は一見に如かず」 (Hyakubun wa Ikken ni Shika Zu) "A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words"

It's nothing to lose your head over, but if you're in the mind for fun anime, then this first episode of Durarara!!x2 Shou is in the right neck of the woods.

First Impressions Log Horizon

Log Horizon 2 – 14

By Stilts January 12, 2015

「カナミ、ゴー！イースト！」 (Kanami, Gou! Iisuto!)
"Kanami, Go East!"

There were interesting parts, but mostly it's an episode full of Kanami-related infodumps that fails to flesh out any of the characters, save Kanami herself.
