Komi Can’t Communicate #03 — Porn Faces
It's been a long morning. Impressions: If you've been following my writing for any length of time, you know how I feel about screaming as a form…
World’s Greatest Assassin #03 — Power Levels and Underage Incest
Very subtle. Sorry I'm a bit delayed today. I woke up at 4:30 am to deal with… how to put it… a dog poop explosion. It wasn't her…
takt op. Destiny #03 — Breakfast and Exposition
"Oops, we get way less budget because we're not the main characters." Impressions: That's a lot more like it. At least it did have some of the great action…
My Coworker is Annoying #02 — Rampant Sexual Harassment
I'd rather see more of the quiet dude to be honest. Impressions: Why do I get the feeling that the artists are either bored or genuinely trying…
Lupin III Part 6 #01 — Herlock Sholmes
Conan Doyle's litigious descendants definitely stopped caring. Impressions: Well, better than the 'tribute to Jigen' episode, but still not great. The issue wasn't that it was more…
Megaton Musashi #03 — Pratfall Assassin
I'm very glad I'm not yet trying to remember any character names here. Impressions: This is such a weird show, and I'll admit I'm giving it a…
Border Mechs #03 — Summer Camp For Terrorists
Excuse me, freedom fighters. Side note, I am quite amused that the official English title of this is something completely made up and impossible to remember or…
The Faraway Paladin #02 — Animating Via Smash Cuts and Speedlines
What exciting fights. Impressions: Perhaps slightly better than the first episode, but still nowhere near good. The story continues to exist only in potential as it blathers…
Rumble Garandoll #02 — Silly Costumes
The costumes are silly because we like silly things! I have no real plan on catching up, but I will prioritize the two Monday mech shows, though…
Ranking of Kings #01 — Old School
I'm a little concerned about the proportions in this show. The hotel internet here is pretty godawful, which I would think is impossible in this day and…
Please Wait Warmly
I'm out of town from basically now until late Sunday for a wedding. Not my own. There are a couple shows I plan on covering in that span…
Sakugan! #02 — GENIUS!
Doubt. Impressions: The worst part of this show continues to be the girl's name. It's such an awkward mouthful and the VAs struggle to not trip over…
Komi Can’t Communicate #02 — Social Chameleon
What the show definitely needed was a slobbering gorilla threatening to rape someone. Impressions: This one lost quite a bit of shine from the first episode as…
World’s Greatest Assassin #02 — Abusing the Grace Period
It's the second episode. Why is it already basically filler? Impressions: All right, show. We can say that the slick opening (which you skipped this week) and…
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child #01 — High Caliber Hazing
Template template template template. Impressions: This is the worst kind of silly show, the kind that takes itself completely seriously. It's in good company this season with…
Ancient Girl’s Frame #01 — Multicultural Teenage Girl Squad
Oh, apparently there's now hidden mecha shows this season. I would say that this slipped under the radar in season previews, but checking their Twitter feed and…
takt op.Destiny #02 — Manic Pixie Piano Thief
Seriously. What's with all the pianos in random places in this setting? Impressions: Boo origin stories. Boo manic pixie girlfriends. Boo eschewing all the fun and over…
Border Mechs #02 — Achilles Heel
And now, for no reason, a farming montage. Impressions: Aside from the goddamned digimon, this really seems like it's trying to be a Gundam knockoff, but my…
Rumble Garanndoll #01 — Be Obnoxious To Win
One show with a chibi mecha pet was enough, thank you very much. I don't know how we got "Rumble Garanndoll" from "Opposite World Battery Girls," but…
Lupin III Part 6 #00 — Abusing Octogenarians
What a tribute. Impressions: This is actually a bit of a tribute episode to Jigen's original voice actor finally retiring, but if it's what they're using as…
Muteking #02 — Buy More iPhones
We're definitely done here. I'll get to Lupin later. I do plan on posting about at least the first episode, though I don't know that anything else on…
My Coworker is Annoying #01 — Elevator Music
And here is how you don't use montages. Impressions: There are cutesy shows that I have enjoyed on occasion, such as Place to Place or even the…
Build Divide: Code Black #01 — It’s Time For My Serious Bunny Hoodie
Said the goth teenage boy. It doesn't speak well to my weekend morning mental acuity when my first thought on the opening sequence is "Why the hell…
Taishou Maiden Fairytale #01 — Lovely Adorable Sex Slave
I love generic photoshop filter backgrounds. Impressions: No matter how cutesy you try to make this, until you grapple with the fact that you're trying to tell…
Megaton Musashi #02 — Super Duper Spinning and Yelling Attack
You guys programmed these super attacks into the robots and then just never used them? Impressions: Far weaker than the first episode despite being entirely set in…
Visual Prison #01 — Random Music Videos Go!
Are we done with idol crap for this season yet? Impressions: What on Earth is this? An experiment to see how much of an episode you can…
World’s End Harem #01 — Hiding From Horny Naked Girls
Oh no, nipples. Impressions: At last, something that caters to my very specific fetish of listening to flat monotonous exposition, but also occasionally looking at some boobs,…
Platinum End #01 — Very Silly Faces
Made for internet memes. Sakugan (previously known as Sacks and Guns) also started actually airing today, so I bumped the episode 1 premiere up to most recent. It's…
Sacks and Guns!! #01 — Bring Your Daughter to Work Day
Probably not the best idea in an industrial slave labor camp. This 'aired' as part of Crunchyroll's virtual expo a week back. It's a full broadcast series beginning…
Muv Luv Alternative #01 — The Generic Muv Luv Experience
I'm officially sick of seeing this exact episode from Muv Luv. Impressions: This is a very confusing first episode from a meta perspective. On one hand, it's…
Komi Can’t Communicate #01 — My Special Eyes
How would you even make contacts for those? Impressions: There is a metric buttload of effort being put into this show, which does make the occasional shot of the…
Pride of Orange #01 — 5-Hole
It's nice that somebody remembered that there should be some hockey in the episode. Impressions: This was pretty hilarious. Not intentionally. God no. They put all the…
The World’s Greatest Assassin etc #01 — Girls With Guns
…Psyche! Here's a dude monologuing for fifteen minutes. Impressions: Okay, so, first, hire the hell out of whoever was in charge of the OP and give them…
takt op.Destiny #01 — I’m Stealing Your Piano
Why was there an abandoned piano in a parking lot to begin with? Impressions: You know, I would think rural America would be a lot more up…
The Fruit of Evolution #01 — Check the Status Screen
Can we… not? Impressions: The most impressive thing about this is that it isn't named "I Accidentally Spawned In The Last Dungeon And Somehow Beat a Monster So…
Border Mechs #01 — All Glory to Japan!
What does this think it is, a Call of Duty game? Impressions: Oof. This lays on the nationalism and xenophobia thick and right out of the gate.…
The Vampire Dies in No Time #01 — Meddling Kids
Please stop shouting at me. I don't like the official translation of the title, but if the show is going to scream it in English at me……
The Moon, Laika, and Nosferatu #01 — Oral Fetish
Template template template template. Impressions: Wow, it feels like it's been years since I had to suffer through an ALI PROJECT opening. I did not miss them.…
The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window #01 — Involuntary Orgasms
And lots of them. Impressions: Here we have almost the direct opposite of the other, aside from also being quite poorly animated. It takes barely a minute…
The Girl Who Sees #01 — Jumpscare Montage
Why did it take so long to get there, and yet do so little? Impressions: Ah, a show where nobody is on the same page. Whoever did…
Muteking The Dancing Hero #01 — Funny Pizza Guy
That seems like a poor name for a pizza chain. Impressions: This is one of those episodes where summarizing it will make it sound way goofier and crazy…
Megaton Musashi #01 — Here’s Your Tragic Backstory and Robot Dog
Combat cyborgs that explode when punched seems like a design flaw. Impressions: How curious. Given the visual style, that this has the staff of Yo-Kai Watch, and…
Sobby Boy #12 — Running Into Screen Savers
I miss when people were stealth ants. Impressions: Uhhhh, so we get yet another over-long montage to an insert song they commissioned but couldn't fit in anywhere,…
Robert’s Rules of the New Fall Anime
Why are people already putting up Christmas lights? Welcome to an unusual fall season. Only one idol show, about a half dozen mecha shows, and of course, still…
Banished From the Hero’s Part #01 — The Endless Narration of an Empty Mind
I'm ready for the giant robots now. I'll just do one quick check to make sure I didn't miss any pre-airs before posting the season preview, he…
Idaten Deities #11 — A New Arc for an Ending
That seems like a very stupid idea. Impressions: This is the ending I expected from the show yesterday, which is to say, absolutely no ending whatsoever. Just…
Blue Period #01 — Holy Goats! Is That A… PAINTING!?
I've never seen art before! Yet another early pre-air. Actual broadcast begins on October 2nd. Season preview is done aside from the non-sequiturs, I just need to…
Battle in 5 Seconds #12 — Jumping Punches to the Plexus
Why not the jaw? Or the gut? Impressions: I expected little from this ending, and boy, did I get it. Well, to be honest, I was expecting…
Selection Project #01 — Japan Idol
Failure is always an option. Again, a pre-air for autumn. Real broadcast begins October 1st. Impressions: While next season has another obnoxious glut of reincarnations in fantasyland…
The Faraway Paladin #01 — Training Non-Arc
My dead thrupple family. Early airing. Broadcast begins on October 9th, I believe. I'll try to keep on top of the early pre-airs, or at least check…
