Absolute Duo - I have to like this one due to my interest on the mc. Unlike other generic harems, this one just ticks off stuff and feels a bit realistic than the generic ones. I know, there's an absurd amount of fanservice but I'll try my best to not drop this one

Durarara x2 - Guess I underestimated this show. I had the least of expectations and both of the shows are really good

Yoru no Yatterman:
Defintiely one of the better animated shows this season but its slow deveopment combined my lack of enjoyment of their jokes, makes this an easy drop.

The Rolling Girls:
I am not sure what to think of this series. We have okay fights, with extremely colorful, cheerful animations tied in with a really ridiculous ramen eating battle, and some other ridiculous things. I don't really find them funny, but I can't say it was all boring. I'll probably wait a while and see how it turns out.

Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor - Exodus
I never watched the original series, but this was an interesting show of temporary peace in a time or war and how how people try to overcome the traumas of war during the temporary peace. However, the series of the series was plagued with parts of terrible CG or undetailed drawings. There was some decent CG and some nice parallax effects, but definitely not enough to save me from the badly done scenes. Worth a 2nd ep though.

Yuri Kuma Arashi Watching this feels very similar to watching Mekakycity actors. Everything was there, the art, the feeling, the surprise, and sadly the potential to fail as well. This might turn out really good or really bad. The bears are cute though.

Akiyuki Shinbou only wishes they could be Kunihiko Ikuhara. Keep an eye on this one, as already, like every other Ikuhara-directed project, the point isn't the surface elements.

Seiken Tsukai no World Break - Atrocious animation, dumb plot, yet another magic high school thing, yawn. Next.

Maria the Virgin Witch - Hesitantly a green, but there's some neat character study stuff going on in this first episode outside of the sex jokes. Goro Taniguchi's direction is just as compelling as ever. We'll see how this goes.

Aldnoah.Zero 2 - Already dropping this! I'm not sitting through another trainwreck!

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu- Your teacher is a firetrucking squid alien who wants to destroy the world after graduation. What's better than that

Miritari!- TBH I didn't even like this one. The terrible jokes are unbearable

Kantai Collection- Fight me, kancolle boys. I dont like this one

Saekano - despite looking generic, it looks pretty interesting... i think i'll stay..

Yatterman Night - This is definitely a premise that sounds rote on paper, but is superbly-written and directed. It could've been a generic dark adaptation of Yatterman, but it takes the tried and true approach of making the sympathetic-villain perspective actually work. Characters given humanizing lines, expected moments in a tragic backstory are given fantastic shots, and it all comes together. Definitely hyped for this one.

Military - Nah. Out of all of the moe military girl shows I've seen in the past few years, this is one of the worst.

So, I think I tried anything of the Animes that interest me this season. Now it is time for review.

Absolute Duo - Ja. I like it so far, does look promiscing to me while I also enjoy the fanservice in it. The Opening and Ending are really good (especially the OP). Animation is okay, but it could be done a bit better. The characters which did show up yet are adorable, I really like Julie so far.
Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (TV) - Because I didn't read the manga, I don't know what to expect from this. For now I'm interested in this.
Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! - Now this is something else! Definitely a good idea with this Magical Boy stuff and it is funny as hell, but that's it. I think there is not much expected from it, but it can easily be watched just for the laughs.
Death Parade - I'm really >Death Parade< to see more of this. First episode was really crazy, but the whole plot about playing games with your lives on stake, is really good. I was really excited through the first episode already, definitely high hopes for it!
Durarara!!x2 Shou - It has been a while since I watched the first season, but I enjoyed it back then. I have to say the first episode is really normal in comparison with what you have seen in the first season. Yet it was only the first episode, it will most likely get as good as the first season. I liked all the Anime references they put in Like the van with Miyuki on it
Junketsu no Maria - From what I read in the synopsis before watching I really wasn't expecting much from this. But it turned out better than I expected. Unique setting paired with history, comedy and some sexual references. It has my attention.
Juuou Mujin no Fafnir - Another harem and only-boy-at-an-all-girls-school Anime. This setting is used many times now and gets boring the more you see it. The characters were really weak, so weak that I didn't even remember a single name. The main heroine of them is clumsy and dull which is really not the type of character I like. It seems so forced to bring up some kind of story besides the fanservice and harem thing. Definitely a let down so far. Probably keep watching for the fanservice
Kantai Collection - First of all I never played the game and don't know very much about it, but despite that I enjoyed the first two episodes. The animation is okay and the OP song is amazing. The story is weak since this is focused on the fanservice and waifu-material part, but that's okay because that is actually what you expect when you start this Anime. The thing I'm worried about is that there are so many characters. That alone is not a bad thing, but I don't know how many episodes will come, and if there are only 12 or 13 it is too less to really get to know a huge set of characters. There was the same problem with Girl Friend BETA from the last season, so I hope this will not happen this strongly again.
Koufuku Graffiti - I usually like this casual-comedy stuff but this was just boring all the way. I did barely find this funny. The animation however is okay, as well as the Opening song. That alone is nice but doesn't make a good Anime.
Rolling☆Girls - This looks really crazy so far, maybe this can be Kill la Kill without fanservice? xD I think the first episode is really confusing but on the other hand it looks promiscing and funny so I'm definitely ready for more.
Seiken Tsukai no World Break - I took a liking to this somehow. The shown characters are fine, despite I needed to turn down the volume a little bit because the voice of the MCs imouto is sometimes really high pitched. Opening theme is really cool and so is the ending theme. Animation was pretty decent but nothing that makes you surprised. Comedy-wise I found the first episode to be enjoying funny.
Shinmai Maou no Testament - Interesting I have to say, better than I expected. For now there is a lot fanservice going on, but I also have to say, this is really good fanservice lol. Boob-wise it has huge, decent and small, so it speaks to all likings xD But what I expect is that it doesn't present itself like it is now for all the episodes, but will also work on the character development and a good storyline.
The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls - Idol Animes are cool, and so is this one. The first episode was not so strong to me as I expected it to be, but still I enjoyed it and am looking forward to see more of the characters! Especially want to see Ranko <3 Other than that not much to say yet except that I have high hopes for it.

Juuou Mujin no Fafnir - For some reason, the quality of animation sometimes drops to the level of the quality of the story. How I wish it is like that for the whole episode so the story could get what it deserves.

Koufuku Graffiti - Food porn the animation. SHAFT is still adapting boring series because they don't want to do Kizumonogatari. Couldn't even compare this to Hidamari Sketch. Then again, it's SHAFT. I'm going to watch it no matter how bad it is. Well, at least it's not as bad as Fafnir.

Rolling Girls - Fun superhero and ramen battles. Can't really say anything other than that. Have to watch another episode.

Durarara!! X2 Shou - Good ol' Durarara. Nothing much changed. Love the Celty scenes. I like the old openings and endings more.

Seiken Tsukai no World Break - As if Blade Dance and the other LNs this season aren't generic enough. Be more generic please.

Junketsu no Maria - Sex jokes aside, it turned out better than expected. I thought it's like the others but no. Actually, it has good pacing and plot. Oh and sex jokes didn't really hurt the show much.

Yoru no Yatterman - A fast first episode. It's different from the original but I like it. It has potential. Now, it just depends on the show how it will turn out. Either become a disaster or be at least decent.

Everyone should be up to date now. Please let me know if I forgot to add anything. The only one section that isn't is for [Superstar] with Juuou Mujin no Fafnir. I have no idea why, it's the only box that won't input the numbers correctly. Bliss if you see this please help. ;w;

Thanks so much for keeping up the hard work Kyonko.

I looked into the issue, and for some reason, that panel didn't have conditional formatting, so I just copied one of the adjacent cells over and fixed the issue (at least fixed from what I can tell)

Thank you for fixing that! Considering all other panels worked fine I wasn't sure how to fix just one panel without messing up everything.

Nope. Seems like my 'score' for Tokyo Ghoul Root A isn't in there. Though it looks more like you accidentally put it into the panel next to it.

Fixed now. When trying to put in everything really fast sometimes I accidentally put in the spot over

so i guess i'll give my other impressions because why not(not sure if this'll still be recorded but wtvr)..

Kantai Collection: Kan Colle - the plot is not exactly my cup of tea. The CGs are really nice at some points and/or at the same time abysmal(those static background characters for the love of god)..but that OP and ED oh god, you might not like the anime itself but you gotta admit that those songs are something(my OP and ED of the season), now for the beatmaps..

Kuroko no Basuke 3 - tho i like it(which is weird bec. i don't like sports anime), can't rly say anything special.... do we finally get to see the emperor's eyes this time? :c

Koufuku Graffiti(yes, disregard the blue i gave) - This is not H or E but those details, Slowmo's, Animation(sasuga shaft) and eating is giving me a boner. I think i'll stick around.

Aldnoah.Zero - i pretty much hate how the story is progressing already but i'll still watch this for some reason..

Tokyo Ghoul √A - same is this ^ but replace hate with frustration. i hate that kind of development for some reason.. Hated him when he was a wimp, now i hate him even more for being... idk, losing all of his virtues because of subtraction? and i want my unravel back :c

Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha - i just simply don't like this.. idk why.

I'll update till no more posts are made!

Maria the Virgin Witch- I dont really know what to feel in this series. I had mixed opinions but it piqued my interest. Hopefully it wont turn out like Madan ou to Vanadis

Juuou Mujin no Fafnir- A tasteless harem anime that is filled with cliche stuff. Automatically no

And that summarizes everything.

That you to everyone that has been participating! All main series and TV shorts have already aired their first episodes. There are still movies and OVAs that have not aired, but if when they do air you can still post your impressions.

For those that may have not watched a certain series or multiple series yet, this list might be able to help you on your decision.

Kyonko, I think you need to wait on saying that. Isuka still doesn't air for 3 more days (not that I think the show will be any good xD)

Aside from that like everything else doesn't air for 1 1/2 to 2 weeks.

Kyonko Hizara wrote:

Well for the non-OVAs there is Isuca and Precure, but I usually don't count Precure since it or a related series seems to be always airing (I might be wrong on this, but I admittedly don't follow the series)
The one in the puush you have is an OVA, so not a big deal for the season count.

Edit:
Sengoku Musou:
Awful battle scenes, with a boring recollection of Japan's history (not sure how accurate this is), but it certainly wasn't worth watching.

Precure never ends. As soon as one series or arc or whatever ends, it seem like immediately another begins. I never got into it but is it really that popular?

Tantei Kageki Milky Holmes TD - Maybe I like brainrotting humor. Maybe it's because they threw FotNS and SnK into one episode. I don't know, but I'm enjoying it.
Also, this:

Koufuku Graffiti - I'm really not sure if I want to blue or green this one. I'm enjoying it, but I'm not sure where it's going.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Egypt Arc - Nothing to say, just prepare for ORA.

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu - Nothing too much for me to say here either, but I'm liking it so far.

Precure is always a ~49 episode series and every year once the previous on is done they restart with a new cast. If people want to give their impressions on it it's perfectly valid but I'm probably the only one who frequents the forum and is a precure fan lol.

I'd like to pick up Precure but sheer amount of episodes to watch is pretty scary. Should I go with release order?

Off topic so I am keeping this short, ask in Anime Recommendations or PM me if you want more info

As a general rule of thumb I suggest people watch the most recent series as it comes out and if they find they want more to watch the others.
Other than that as long as you don't start with Max heart or GoGo any is fine. Airing order is a good place to start I also recommend starting with Smile or Heartcatch.

Probably my last lists...

Koufuku Graffiti - As expected from SHAFT, never stop amused me (but i still don't understand the plot yet)... Also dat erotic-way of eating food though

The Rolling Girls - Is this a new Kill la Kill series? I mean almost every aspects are the same as Kill la Kill, only the graphics are a little bit improved and less shit happens... But still, It's a show worth watch imo.

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu - Fun Series. Pretty much I enjoyed It (especially the Special Episode)

Isuca:
As much as I wanted to hear Afilia Saga again, they can't save this slideshow. Okay maybe it wasn't a slideshow, but it was so badly done that I was laughing at how bad the ending was done as I watched it.

With that said, that wraps up my first impressions for this season. I am probably going to drop a few more shows tonight though....

Isuca - Did she have an orgasm? I feel like this is a blurry fail clone of Inuyasha. I might give second episode a shot though.

Isuca well the female lead's character type is cute...that's it for what I can praise about this show. Dunno what else isn't boring.

Isuca - I think... I'll just wait for BDs.

Isuca nah i cant watch this anime
