First Impressions: Gargantia On The Vendurous Planet
After Psycho-Pass, Gen Urobuchi has delivered us another Anime to talk about. Rather than doing another grim-dark story, we are now shown an adventuresque setting – but since this is Butch Gen; and Psycho-Pass has been very vocal on making book recommendations to those who wish to delve on the …
First Impressions: Mushibugyou
It’s a Samurai story of being the strongest among the rest. Simple as that. This series is created under Sunrise, which explains the thin and shounen-esque story. But hey, if I get to choose between Sunrise and Toei, Sunrise is still better in churing interesting anime. There’s not much to …
First Impressions: Severing Crime Edge
Severing Crime Edge is a serious story of murdering desire to cut one’s hair. It is basically a fetish driven anime, like Cuticle Detective Inaba that drive itself in one of the many themes of erotic simulations. There isn’t anything particularly unique about the series, though the premise does fit for …
First Impressions: Arata Kanagatari
Arata Kangatari is a story about angsty bromance that transcends two worlds. The series is created by the famous Yuu Watase, the author of a popular work called Fushigi Yuugi. It feels like I am watching an updated version of Fushigi Yuugi. We got two kids going through worlds along with their …
First Impressions: Attack on Titan
Attack on Titan is a post-apocalyptic story of humanity’s last stand against a formidable force. It is based on the award-winning manga by the same name and finally got its anime adaptation. It is under Production I.G. and directed by the guy who also directed Highschool of the Dead. There’s …
First Impressions: Devil Survivor 2
It’s kind of misleading with the number 2 on the title thinking it’s a sequel of some sort. The story is a group of kids who were given a second chance to live and face an unknown enemy to protect everyone else. It’s a game adaptation from the Shinsegami works, …
First Impression: Demon Lord At Work
I need something to get the bad taste of MaoYuusha out of my anime mouth. It’s a terrible adaptation, or perhaps a terrible series overall. Though the series I am going to write about isn’t anywhere the same as the former. It does have the theme of Maou in it, …
First Impressions: Karneval
If the opening greets me with a cute shota being seduced by a lady, sign me in! Karneval, which could either that the creators didn’t consult a dictionary, or simply wanted to stay unique and searchable in Google, is about a big conspiracy surrounded by a mysterious unknown organization and …
First Impressions: Photo Kano
Photo Kano is a story of a boy who slowly descends into the pit of perversion through the lens of his camera. For someone who has seen perverted photographers in conventions and the elitist mentality, I kind of relate to the introduction of the series. A bunch of guys snapping away a …
First Impressions: Flowers of Evil
Just because we don’t see moe in our Rotoscoping doesn’t mean it sucks. I didn’t expect it to be this … unique in its style. I have to ask, why are we animating this? Flowers of Evil is one of the series I am interested seeing this season. It’s the destruction of …
