Fall 2013 — First Impressions

As usual, here’s my rankings of the season’s new shows based on the first episode or so. You can click the links for details, so I’ll keep the discussion of each short. We’ll see how well this matches my ending thoughts.

Ongoing Series: Hunter X Hunter, Monogatari Second Series, Space Bros

Shorts: Don’t know, don’t care.

Dropped Before First Episode:

Freezing. Season 2. And bad porn.
Hajime no Ippo.
Season 4.
Kuroko no Basuke S2. I’m not fabulous enough.
Little Busters ~Refrain~. First season was crap.
Magi
. Watched the first season. Really bored by the end.
Phi Brain. I’m not British.

Watched New Series

30. Diabolik Lovers
This was disgusting.

29. Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai
It’s idea of fanservice is shoving the camera constantly into everyone’s crotch.

28. BlazBlue: Alter Memory
No idea what happened, but it seems dumb. Continue reading Fall 2013 — First Impressions →

Summer 2013 — First Impressions

As usual, here’s my rankings of the season’s new shows based on the first episode or so. You can click the links for details, so I’ll keep the discussion of each short. We’ll see how well this matches my ending thoughts.

Ongoing Series: Chihayafuru, Hunter X Hunter, Majestic Prince, Mushibugyo, Shingeki no Kyojin, Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S

Space Bros also exists if anyone is still watching it.

Shorts: Don’t know, don’t care.
Unwatched Sequels: Kingdom 2, Ro Kyuu Bu SS, Tamayura ~More Aggressive~

Tamayura is terrible, didn’t see Kingdom 1. The first season of Ro Kyuu Bu actually wasn’t bad. Sadly I’m not a lolicon.

29. Futari wa Milky Holmes
A crime against humanity.

28. Brothers Conflict
I expect lots of things from an incest show, but boredom is generally not one of them.

27. KKK
As bad as it sounds. Continue reading Summer 2013 — First Impressions →
