Akagami no Shirayukihime First Impressions

Akagami no Shirayukihime – 02

By Cherrie July 15, 2015

「辿るは胸の鳴るほうへ」 (Tadoru wa mune no naru hou e)
"Following the Sound of Your Heart"

What sets Shirayuki apart from all other heroines, isn’t just the fact that she has red hair ...

First Impressions Sore ga Seiyuu!

Sore ga Seiyuu! – 02

By Passerby July 15, 2015

「オーディション」 (Ōdishon)
"Audition"

It's so like Japan to make their young hopefuls wrestle with so many levels of management. Stardom is a bureaucratic process.

First Impressions Non Non Biyori

Non Non Biyori Repeat – 02

By Takaii July 13, 2015

「星を見に行った」 (Hoshi wo Miniitta)
"We Went to Look at the Stars"

While this might be a "repeat" for the show, it's far from just rehashing old scenes.

God Eater – 01

By Zephyr July 13, 2015

「空木レンカ」 (Utsugi Renka)
"Utsugi Renka"

It doesn't break the typical end of the world mold, but the action makes it an interesting watch nonetheless.

Arslan Senki First Impressions

Arslan Senki – 14

By Stilts July 12, 2015

「異国の王子」 (Ikoku no Ouji)
"The Foreign Prince"

Ignore the principles of war at your own peril. Assume you know what Arslan's group will do at your misfortune. But most of all, try to out-drink Farangis at your doom. Poor one out for Gieve, gents.

First Impressions WORKING!!

WORKING!!! – 02

By Samu July 12, 2015

「愛の嵐!」 (Ai no Arashi!) "The Wind of Love!?"

I was practically Souma in this episode, praying that Satou and Yachiyo would finally go on a date with each other!

Charlotte First Impressions

Charlotte – 02

By Zephyr July 11, 2015

「絶望の旋律」 (Zetsubou no Senritsu)
"Melody of Despair"

Behind every light is a shadow.

First Impressions Rokka no Yuusha

Rokka no Yuusha – 02

By Samu July 11, 2015

「初めての旅」 (Hajimete no Tabi) "The First Journey"

Who would have thought two characters traveling through the countryside for an entire episode could be so interesting?

Classroom Crisis First Impressions

Classroom Crisis – 02

By Passerby July 11, 2015

「リストラの教室」 (Risutora no Kyōshitsu)
"Classroom Downsizing"

Romantic comedy, corporate intrigue, and now documentary. Well, as long as its interesting. If you dismissed Classroom Crisis as a rom-com earlier, I recommend you give it a watch now just to see what it actually is.

Prison School – 01

By Cherrie July 10, 2015

「ノゾキ大作戦」 (Nozoki Daisakusen)
"The Peep Job"

I'll start by saying that I don't think I'm the intended audience for this show... and perhaps that's because I'm jealous that Meiko's bust defies gravity.
