Here’s the post where I watch the first episode of most anime this season and hate my life for it. Hopefully the first few mediocre anime that I watched won’t be indicative of the season as a whole.
Arpeggio of Blue Steel
Our generic L-like protagonist gets a cute little girl from an unknown person who will obey is every command. She’s some kind of robot and will help him save humanity from the unknown treat that have appeared over the world. The story take place in a world where satellite communication are impossible, where every government in the world have collapsed and where climate change changed the face of the world. I liked the setting of the story but I was left cold for the animation and characters. Maybe (but most probably not)
Outbreak company
Humanity have found a way to go to a parallel universe… they send a 14 year old to share the knowledge of manga and anime. what the hell not for me
BlazBlue – Alter Memory
The first episode of this anime looked very ambitious to me… a nonlinear story line, good animation and characters. But this ambition comes with uncertainty, we, the viewers, are sent into this parallel world with no knowledge of it what so ever. A lot of information seem to be missing from the first episode. At this point in time, it is hard to say if this anime will be good or not. Hopefully it will be interesting enough to make me continue watching. Or it will fall into the category of i just don’t care enough… Maybe
Coppelion
The premiss of this show was written so they can have 3 girls in miniskirt with no panties on on screen at the same time. I’m usually a fan of dystopian stuff, but the whole episode was boring and really did not do anything for me. Not for me
Diabolik Lovers
This one seem weird to me. I’m really not sure who the target audience is… the female protagonist find herself in a house full of vampire who sexually, physically and psychologically harassed her. I do see that such anime could satisfy a certain audience, but it’s not for me.
Freezing Vibration
Well that was simply boring… and full of untasteful fan-service. Not for me
Ace of Diamond
I profoundly hate baseball. not for me
Kill la Kill
That was really impressive… hell of a spin off on the high school anime and awesome animation. I look foward to the next episode. Yes
Gingitsune
This line up to be a nice and sweet anime a la Natsume’s Book of Friends. Yes
Hajime no Ippo
My disdain for baseball can only be meet by few things… boxing is one of those. not for me
Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai
It’s very nice of them to start the anime with a series of frame like this… you know immediately what to expect. not for me
Infinite Stratos 2
Oh well. not for me
Nagi no Asukara
Wow, I was not expecting this. Yes yes yes !
Non Non Biyori
I was pleasantly surprised by this anime as well. It seem like it’s gonna be a very tasteful slice of life. It’s rare to see an anime with 4 girls as the main cast that are not overly sexualised. I always like anime in the country side… Yes
Strike the Blood
Ledo from Suisei no Gargantia is now a vampire… but seriously, vampire never really work in anime. I think there was some funny moments, but I don’t expect this to keep my attention for long. Maybe (but probably not)
Yowamushi Pedal
A lot of sport anime this season… this one is more of a sport/comedy. It was all right, not ground breaking but not awful either. I will probably watch a couple of episode, let’s see if they can make me laugh. Maybe
Unbreakable Machine-Doll
So this is like Pokemon… but instead of having pokemon they have cute little girls who want to have sex with them ? not for me
Tokyo Ravens
This one is harder to evaluate… a lot of unanswered questions. But was interesting enough, fun characters. Yes
Golden Time
A school comedy in college… Maybe
Gundam Build
I think this anime was made for the sole purpose to sell related merchandise. Boriiing… not for me
Log horizon
Looks like a bad ripoff of Sword art online… not for me
Kuroko’s Basketball
I liked season one, hopefully season two will be just as good (better then those awful english dialogue in episode one…). Yes
Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru
What ? not for me
Super Seisyun Brothers
I never watched a 4 minutes anime before… but this was very fast paced, funny and had nice animation. I think this is the forth anime this season with popsicle in the first episode, i wonder what this is about. Yes
Yozakyra Quartet Hana No Uta
I’m not quite sure what i just watched. But i’m interested. Yes.
Galilei Donna
I’m getting overwhelm by all the potential good show… this one looked good as well. Hopefully they will be interesting enough to keep me watching. (but seriously, could they not have come up with any other italian last name then Ferrari ?) Yes
Samurai Flamenco
This show is going in a completely different direction then i though it would. For some reason I was envisioning a very serious anime, but it’s actually a very funny anime instead. (and I totally ship the two main characters) Yes
Meganebu!
I had a hard time finishing the episode… is this a whole anime based on a school club about glasses ? And can we all acknowledge that this colour pallet is simply outrageous. not for me
Walkure Romanze
Miniskirt and horses. not for me
Kyoukai no kanata
Yet another anime that I’m likely to follow this season… unless i get too annoyed with the weak girl with a sword gimmick. Yes
// Well the season does not look so bad after all. I suppose I only got a tiny bit unlucky with my selection order. What I will say, is that the worst shows seem to be getting worst. They have their small little recipe and they just execute it with new character while increasing the number of boobs and panties shots. Oh well, what are the show you guys are looking forward to ?
I suggest that you check out the following shows.

- Samurai Flamenco
