It's a premiere that’s nakedly yearning for the heat of Attack on Titan’s apocalyptic opener, and I will admit that it hits its familiar beats pretty well. But its future appeal is going to live or die based on how much it decides to center Yuno as the protagonist.

FreakAngels – Episode 1
A diverse but overstuffed cast and slightly stiff production combine to form a Crunchyroll Original that isn't terrible, but likely won't turn many heads either.
Yasuke – Episode 1
Yasuke is the Black, SFF historical anime we all needed, but didn't expect to get in such a gorgeously animated package.
Re:Monster – Episode 1
The opening is impressively bad, and the rest of the episode has the gall to settle into mediocrity.
number24 – Episode 1
If you like sports anime, number24 is a pretty safe bet for a good time. The post number24 – Episode 1 appeared first on ANIME FEMINIST.
