Spring Season 2015: Early Impressions

[Ryllharu]

Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches - This has none of the manga's charm, which is largely driven by the art style (exactly like Fairy Tail because it is written by one of his former assistants). Generic, bland design in the anime, and generally clumsy everything else. I'll stick with the manga on this one.

Kyoukai no Rinne - Nothing really special about it, but that is actually what makes it refreshing. It's a lot more like Ranma and Takahashi's earlier works. Watching it because it gives me massive nostalgia despite being new.

Hibike! Euphonium - The surprise of the season so far for me. So far, a nicely introspective drama-comedy, a stark comparison to the relatively shallow K-ON.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha ViVid - If you're a Nanoha fan you're already watching this, otherwise skip it.

DanMachi - vejita613 covered it perfectly.

Ore Monogatari - The standout shoujo series of the season

Punch Line - I'm giving it the three episode test. It reminds me of Nanana so far. That's not really a good thing. Feels like it is trying a little too hard to be Puni Puni Poemi/Nurse-Witch Komugi-chan, but it is not anywhere that good.

Yahari Wordspam Zoku - I guess it is improving? I still don't really get or care for this series, but I'll keep watching for now.

Show By Rock - The catgirl is painfully cute, otherwise a complete waste of time.

Triage X - It's crap but we all knew that going in.

Shokugeki no Souma - Meets expectations.

Danna ga Nani o Itteiruka Wakaranai Ken 2 - The first season is a grand total of 44 minutes. Watch it. Then watch this too.
