The Week in Anime Winter 2015 #1 — Catholics, Incest and Forehead Flickings

I think I’m only going to stick with three shows this season. Instead of doing a fourth series, I will do a weekly Week in Anime post. Except this time, you know, actually do it. At least that’s the idea. It will be Wednesday. So if I don’t do it on Wednesday please yell at me.

Daimidaler: Wow, this episode of Daimidaler. Did they seriously just replace the main characters halfway through the show? Because… that’s awesome. These new guys are so much better. And the new male lead isn’t a complete asshole. Also penguin girl continues to be the best, her new superpower ahahaha.
