Shuumatsu no Izetta - Wow, that was an amazing first episode. Dense with content, displayed the protagonist's qualities excellently, had great art, and even showcased intense battles! We were even given a glimpse on how things would proceed. Great start. Looking forward to more.
RIFLE BROOM FTW.
Peace.
Very good, though I found the witch reveal a little hammy in the "we've seen this deus ex machina so many times before" sort of way. Comes with the territory, I suppose. Still, well produced adventure that I hope can only get better.
Izetta - I'm sold after episode 1. Fantastic opening to the story.
Magical Girl Raising Project - Starting off a little too slowly perhaps, but the problems are coming and I'm interested. I think the flash forward probably ruined it though.
Vivid Strike - I guess they gave up on Nanoha Vivid arc, as it was pretty bad. This attempt seems to be more like a magical girl version of Ippo and might have better focus on fewer characters.
Was going to try Tiger Mask W, gave it a quick browse, and it looked like crap... so going to pass on it.
Bloodivores - Ridiculous title and premise. Kind of meh animation wise. At least one interesting twist by the end of episode one though. I don't expect this to end up being good though.
Gundam IBO - A good return for the series, and I'm looking forward to more.
Nanbaka - Trash
Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume - It isn't going to beat Ping Pong the Animation, that's for sure. Maybe there's enough here to be entertaining, but it could be pretty boring.
Trickster - Looks like it might be slightly more interesting than the other Ranpo show from a few seasons back. I don't have high hopes though.
WWW.Working - it's Working again, but with more boring characters. The original overstayed its welcome in my opinion, so I don't expect much here.
Shoushin Shoujo Matoi - I like the style, and I'm a sucker for magical girl battling, so I'm interested to see where it goes. Nothing too original here.
Matoi - Well at least we get to see a dad grope his daughter's boobs for a few seconds in mainstream anime.
Peace.
Shuumatsu no Izetta: Alright. No, itīs actually good. I just wish the animation quality was even higher, itīd benefit so much. And I hated Izettaīs voice and screaming at the end of the episode. "Hime! Himeee!" made her sound like a typical moe-shit-girl. I expected a more serene, Ghibli-esque behavior, being a witch in a secret location in the alps.
Not-Madoka: Very fast, content-filled first episode. Ignoring the shameless Madoka-"inspiration", I enjoyed it overall. But I hated the stereotypical moe-otaku-designs of the other girls. A sexy nun, a ninja in a bikini, a sexy witch, come on. Hate that shit. Madoka was better because the girls felt like they were wearing what they wanted, not what pervert otaku want them to wear. And fuck that boy becoming a magical girl. I siiiiiighed so hard when I saw that.
Gundam: Fantastic opening, setting up the new situation. This is so good, it doesnīt need any further description. A true must-see.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
What? And I had thought I might give this show a chance since the season seems so sparce otherwise. Thanks for the warning.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
It wasn't intentional, sort of.
Peace.
Thx, gonna give it a try. Sounds promising.

The first show of the new season I checked out:
Brave Witches: This was Strike Witches universe through and through. I'm happy with the first episode and looking forward to more.
Watched Yaoi on Ice. Nuf' said
Too bad that first ep was nice on visual quality, particularly background / scenery.
But Yaoi vibes are very strong with that one
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
You mean The Force?
Peace.
Well, they sure are to play with their sabers... But no hentai please

Yuri on Ice: One of the most powerful, beautiful opening songs in recent anime history. The story was introduced rather rashly, it feels like weīre entering the story at its end part already, with Yuri meeting and "getting together with" his idol. I guess this will be about the training first and foremost. A problem similiar to Shigatsu no Uso is that Yuri is so perfect already with his performance that itīs hard to feel any sort of "oh, Iīm curious how his personal progression will go!", because thereīs no room left. Sure, theyīll SAY that he has to get better, but when I see a flawless performance, itīs hard to accept that.
And that last scene wasnīt necessary, but hey, I think Rukako is hot, so who am I to judge.
Edit: Aaand the animation is pure joy to watch.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Wait, Yuri is not Yaoi?
Peace.
The shows name is Yuuri, not Yuri :P
How to be Hero:
Enjoyable first episode, over-the-top foul language humor. I liked. Iīm just not sure if it can carry an entire season. If itīs monster of the week-style, it better be really creative. I loved how the fatherīs sentences are automatically transformed into totally perverted stuff when he talked to his daughter xD

All Out, watched 15 minutes and shut it off. Sucked balls, what a disappointment.
All Out:
It certainly doesnīt suck anymore than DAYS, so Iīll keep watching for now. Still stucks that itīs another sports anime with whiny characters. Why is that? An attempt to market these sports shows to a female audience? Speaking of which, looking at the bishounen-style giant here, this anime gave me more of a yaoi-feeling than yuuri on ice ;/

Yeah... it sucks way more than DAYS.
