A new anime season is upon us. Let's see how it is...


Buddy Complex (completed)

This is a mecha action series that is "so Sunrise". In the first episode, the main character is sent to the future, presumably to be some kind of hero.


Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren (completed)

Second season of Chuunibyou. More Rikka is always welcome.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren Lite (completed)

Chuunibyou second season side episodes.


D-Frag! (dropped)

The girls in this show are crazy. I'm not a big fan of comedies, and this barely had enough craziness to keep me interested through the first episode.


Go! Go! 575 (completed)

Only 4 minutes and only lasting 4 episodes. It's a cute slice-of-life comedy, but nothing really happens and it isn't exactly hilarious.


Hamatora The Animation (dropped)

Unique and colorful visuals. The first episode gave me the feeling that every mystery will be spoon-fed to the audience (because that's what happened). After two episodes, I still don't have a reason to continue watching.


Mahou Sensou (dropped)

Magical lolis with guns... ok only one of them. The first episode seems to be an introduction to how (some) of the characters got their magic. It was a decent watch and I hope it doesn't turn into a lame magical-school-life anime. (now on episode 5...) What and awful show this has turned out to be. Nothing is done well except for Mui's cuteness (the only reason I'm still watching)... On second thought, nah... I'm done.


Mikakunin de Shinkoukei (dropped)

A romcom about a normal girl who's fiance from the mountains (and his annoying little sister) moves in with her family. There is only a bit of romance, and most of the characters are annoying (except the main two).


Nobunaga the Fool

The music in this series is outstanding. I dislike the mashup use of historical figures, but it seems like this will be a nice action adventure.


Nobunagun (dropped)

The opening few minutes are a masterpiece of animation. The majority of the episode looked like some low-budget watercolor. There probably isn't much here in the way of plot, but the action should be decent. While the start of the second episode is quite noisy (action, bang bang), it didn't give me any reason to care to see more.


Noragami (dropped)

The opening scene was nice quality. The rest of the episode was setup for the rest of the series... a little romantic god x half-dead-girl type thing. There just isn't anything to draw me in.


Nourin (dropped)

Cute concert at the start... the rest was awful. The 2nd episode is much better (the first was so bad I almost dropped it right there). The 3rd episode was amusing in its own way, but failed to give me a reason to want to see more.


Pupa (completed)

Why is this only 4 minutes? Why!? While short, it was quite good. The censoring of the gore is a bit annoying.


Sakura Trick (dropped)

Love the OP song. Hate the show. There was nothing in the first episode that I liked.


Space☆Dandy (dropped)

Typical garbage that I've come to expect from Bones studio. This anime is what would happen if you crossed Cowboy Bebop with Redline, and left out anything good. Animation quality is top notch, but when you open an anime with "boobies" and then fail to deliver any real comedy instead of just being stupid... well this is what happens.


Super Sonico The Animation (dropped)

It was a struggle to even finish the first episode. It wasn't cute. It wasn't funny. It wasn't even sexy. The only redeeming quality was Sonico's manager. If he was the main character, I might actually watch this.


Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta (completed)
The Pilot's Love Song

A romantic adventure has begun. They wasted no time to establish the young couple, which was about the only saving aspect of the first episode.


Wake Up, Girls! Shichinin no Idol (completed)

This pre-series 1hr movie was very nicely done. A great job building the idol group up to their debut concert at the end, which actually met my expectations.

Wake Up, Girls! (completed)

The series after the movie. My only complaint is that the fanservice seems awkward for the serious dramatic style of the show. This is my favorite anime of the season so far (1 episode in...).

Better than Idolmaster and Love Live, AKB0048 is on a different level, but this still has great potential as a musical drama.


Witch Craft Works (dropped)

Pretty dumb show. The ED is fantastic though!


Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil (dropped)

Magic is lethal here (people actually die). Decent enough action through the first episode. The next couple episodes focus more on the "legal" side of things. There is some flashy magic used, but that seems to be all the show has to offer.


Wonder Momo (dropped)

Dumb, but it's so corny that it's a little amusing.


Z/X: Ignition (dropped)

It looks like they started the series with a flash-forward. I hope it doesn't get slow. The first episode had some decent action. The second episode was mostly boring. They really did start with the best they had, and that was barely enough to keep me interested. I see this going nowhere.
