First show of the season dropped! Blade & Soul: It really seemed like it was becoming better, but all in all, it's still just the same thing as the first ep. Unless you want to watch this solely for the lore about the game, then I see absolutely no reason to watch this. It's just massacre upon massacre, covered up with some shitty attempt at a plot. Tbh, at the end of next week, I expect to have dropped a handful of other shows as well, though I still want to give them 3 episodes to really see if they get going or w/e. Thoughts on the rest of the season (as of now). |

Finished Kamisama no Memo chou, was actually a pretty solid show. There were only a couple of things I disliked, like how slow the first episode was (which is why it took me such a long time to finish it) and a few of the random scenes they threw in there. Otherwise, wasn't too bad, and would recommend to someone who wanted to watch a random, not that bad, not that great show. 7.5/10 (had to round up to 8 on MAL) Great as a filler show between really big name ones and what not. |

Selector Infected WIXOSS - Episode 3 Impressions - (7/10): So, it's pretty obvious that this show wants to be on a certain psychological level, so to speak, but the execution of it all is definitely holding it back. To me, it feels a lot more like it's on a BRS-level, than a Madoka-level. Maybe that'll change as we move closer to the end, and closer to the girls losing their right to play, but seeing how there's still not really anything that can "propel" the story in a direction, it may turn out to be sort of lackluster (then again, Madoka has its turning point in ep 4). On top of all of that, I'm still not really happy with the card game itself. It almost feels like they're playing it in real time, and even this episode, when it seemed like they wanted to explain how a few things worked, it was all so fast paced that there was just no way that would happen. It's a minor complain, I guess, but it does take away from my personal enjoyment of the show. Edited by savepoints, Apr 17 2014, 05:57 PM.

I tried watching that, but kinda dropped it after I noticed there's not really a general plot. Well officially, I have it on hold, but to be honest, I might never pick it up again. And it didn't really look all that good. Just a Gosick in modern times and no plot. On other news, I got over Monogatari's dick move of episode 20, so I finally finished it. That last arc was pretty cool, a bit different from the rest in terms of atmosphere and art in some cases. And the ending was... unexpected to say the least. All in all, I think that season was better than Bakemonogatari in pretty much every aspect. And they toned down the ecchi from Nise by quite a lot, so that's good too.

Yea, most of the different arcs were just okay. I think they did the last arc exceptionally well, and there was another one in the middle that was nice as well (gang wars and all that). Everything else just kind of seemed thrown in there randomly. |

Kamisama no Memo chou is a good series. Not the best, but far from the worst. And a nice change of pace from the cliche series too. |

Finished Railgun S. Really liked it, just as the first season, and once there's new material to adapt, I wouldn't mind a third series (or an adaption of the Accelerator manga). Sisters arc was definitely superior in every way, so that's like an 8. Silent Party was good, but not AS good, so that's like a 7 (or possibly 8 cuz the parts near the end were really good imo). All in all, 8/10, just like first season. |

Jesus, that eyepatch girl in Ef a Tale of Memories is so weird I had a hard time finishing the first episode... Worst part is, everything seems pretty good. It's only that one girl who is just so annoying and so weird... Hell, if she wasn't here, I'd probably marathon through it. Here's hoping she dies at some point. |

Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou - Episode 3 Impressions - (7/10): Even though I thought the comedy would be what would drag the show down for me, the recent episodes has shown that it's actually really funny. I think it does a good job in making use of the characters and their differences, without going way overboard in any particular area. Couple that with the fact that we now have a HanaKana tsundere, and this is indeed a good SOL-show. --------------------------------- Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei - Episode 3 Impressions - (8/10): I'm still enjoying this a lot. The action scenes are pretty well done, and so are the characters... All except one... I don't really like Miyuki all that much. Then again, I'm not much for sister/brother-complexes either way, so... Anyway, I happen to have learned some things about the MC (no major spoilers or anything, tho), and I'm really looking forward to when these things will get revealed in the future episodes. Until then, just hoping the show progresses with the same quality it's been upholding up to now. --------------------------------- Akuma no Riddle - Episode 3 Impressions - (7/10): So we're finally getting into the actual main plot for this - the assassination attempts. This first one was alright, but hoping the other assassins are a little more fleshed out, and Haru is saved in less... convenient ways.. (dem scissors doe). Still, Haru doesn't seem to be as dense as a certain other character in a similar situation, even though she might seem like it at times. Looking forward to seeing more of the assassination attempts, and more of Haru's past. --------------------------------- Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii - Episode 3 Impressions - (8/10): Still liking this very much. The interactions between the king and Nike in particular, are very good, and could probably carry the entire series alone. The rain-summoning jpop song does feel just a bit out of place, but nothing that I can't overlook, especially seeing how good the rest of the music is. It reminds me a lot of the older disney-esque movies and such. Anyway, if they can keep this going as it is now, while adding in some good character development, then this will surely turn out to be very good. --------------------------------- Also, some dude over at /a/ translated the rules and the quick start guide for the WIXOSS tcg. I guess it makes a bit more sense now, but the anime seem to still disregard some of the rules, most likely for the sake of pacing and/or just making it all more intense. Still, it's nice to at least have some foundation to go on... Quick Start Guide + Cards Video + Explanation Edited by savepoints, Apr 20 2014, 07:46 PM.

I've only see the first episode of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, and I really liked it. The brother/sister thing going on is the only downside of the show so far. |

Isshuukan Friends. - Episode 3 Impressions - (7/10): I've got to say that this show has sort of grown on me. I think an important thing is to not go into it expecting a comedy (even though it's tagged as such), because even though it does have some funny moments, they're a lot more like "heh"-funny, rather than "haha"-funny. It is, however, a really cute show, and there could even be some good drama later on. Getting to see more of Shogo was also great, as he's an awesome character. All-in-all, a pretty feel-good show so far, and hoping it stays that way. --------------------------------- Captain Earth - Episode 3 Impressions - (7/10): After some (very little) consideration, I've decided to not drop this show. I rather like the characters (Akari was awesome too), and so far we really haven't seen much of the mecha itself, aside from the gattai sequence, so there's not really anything saying this will just be standard mecha shit, as opposed to having actually good characters and interactions, with some good mecha combat on the side. Will keep watching for a while, but if it turns out to be the former, I'll most likely drop it. --------------------------------- Gokukoku no Brynhildr - Episode 3 Impressions - (7/10): This has been pretty stable so far, so not a lot to say about it. That episode 3 ending, however! Shit just got vertical, for real. --------------------------------- Kenzen Robo Daimidaler - Episode 3 Impressions - (6/10) - DROPPED: Well, I get that this is not supposed to be taken seriously at all, but I don't think this is anything for me. Sure, it has some really funny moments, but since the main focus is the ecchi stuff, I'm just not gonna bother with it anymore. If you do like shows that don't take themselves seriously at all, as well as all the ecchi stuff it's got going, then this might be for you. --------------------------------- Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to - Episode 3 Impressions - (5/10) - DROPPED: The type of comedy this has is really not my thing, and seeing how it's a short focused entirely around said comedy, there's no reason whatsoever for me to continue watching this. --------------------------------- M3: Sono Kuroki Hagane - First Impressions - (7/10): So, this was pretty interesting. It seems like a pretty cool premise, so the question is whether they'll be able to pull it off in a well done manner. Also, it's pretty amazing just how much happened in that one episode. They introduced almost every character, there was a lot of explanation regarding the lightless realm, as well as the abmonitions, we had the characters move into the dorms, had a (very short) training montage, were shown an actual battle, and finally, they even made the abmonitions seem a lot more human than before. Just, wow. --------------------------------- Edited by savepoints, Apr 21 2014, 02:28 PM.
