Second Impressions – Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi
Obviously this could all go south (no pun intended) at the drop of a ski cap, but for now I'm very much pleasantly surprised.


Second Impressions – Komi-san wa Komyushou desu
Thank goodness OLM got Watanabe Ayumu, because in the wrong hands this could easily be a dumpster fire. Read more


Second Impressions – Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen
Cute? Yes. Silly? Very. But underneath that Atarashii Joshi speaks with authority about the brutality of the human experience.


First Impressions – Senpai wa Otokonoko
In every respect it’s too early to guess where Senpai wa Otonoko is going to land.

Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru. | First Impressions

Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru | First Impressions

First Impressions – Komi-san wa Komyushou desu

First Impressions – Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen
Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen is a bit of a sleeper in a season without many of them, so as such this premiere was of considerable interest.


Second Impressions – Kimi wa Meido-sama (You Are Ms. servant)
Yeah, I really don't get this one at all.


Second Impressions – Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai shiteita.
I think Fujiwara Cocoa works best when you sort of hand yourself over to her and let the writing carry you where it will.


First Impressions – Hana wa Saku, Shura no Gotoku (Flower and Asura)
If you think things couldn't sound any more wholesome, you're pretty much on the money.

If the production could possibly maintain the level of the first two episodes this show could wind up as a real banger.


Second Impressions – Helck
It's the same joke but at least it's a good one. Read more
