Meah
Hundred I only like this one. Resembles IS and Emile waifu material
xxdeathx
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney - it would've been more fun if I ignored how ridiculous the burden was on the lawyer to prove that the clock was 2 hours behind at the time of the murder in order to disprove the witness's testimony, despite already having poked some huge holes in it. It's almost like if he couldn't answer that last bit they'd still believe the witness and rule guilty. Hope they do more realistic cases.
piruchan
Kuma Miko - TALKING BEAR. SEXUAL HARASSMENT. DON'T TOUCH ME.
Ace Attorney - Boring. This episode feels like unrolling a blank piece of paper.
Joker Game - Well, the ending got me interested. Probably going to be good.
Mayoiga - Some of the cast should just die. This line shows exactly how I feel about the show.
a1l2d3r4e5d6
Bakuon!! - My initial thought was "OMG K-ON!, but with motorcycles." Airhead main character with a little sister, someone had Mugi eyebrows. I was convinced. Talking bike. It made me 'laugh in a bad way' with the random boob grab moments.I get the feeling that some real world companies had a hand in making this, after seeing both a Simpson and a cou le of Arai helmets. Also, The Stig's motorcycle neice. xD

Hundred - The start of the OP made me cringe. Some scenes had high animation details, which is nice, but I just wish that they could keep it up throughout the rest of the series. Typical OP protagonist behaviour, it seems, and a hospitalised littlesister(who looks like Ayu, nano-desu) to boot.
Not sure if it's the fansub, but "Holler if you can hear us," "I'm going to ride you hard"? So many of the seasonal clichés popping up. I can see this become really tiring for me to try to finish.

Joker Game - Definitely left me begging for more. Kept me interested throughout the first episode.
xxdeathx
Twin Star Exorcists - Feels like a typical shounen anime, not good not bad, maybe a tad cliche.
Lanturn
twin star exo: it was alright, not my style really, but I did like that ending theme... and the dubstep that played during that middle fight.

Cerberus: animation was pretty bad, and I didn't really care for any of the characters.

hero academy: eh. could be good... was alright.

Bishoujo Yuugi Unit Crane Game Girls: AOTS! On Bikini Warriors level of amazing! (minus anything ecchi)
Yohanes
Bakuon!! Boring. it filled by pretty heavy jokes, totally didn't expect that. Also, this show is more like a series of commercial lol

Gakusen Toshi Asterisk 2nd Season resuming what first cour left off, I won't expect too much from this show. Actually, the girls are the only reason why I still watching this

Hundred your seasonal harem/ecchi anime, I don't even know why I'm still watching this

Kuma Miko I originally thought that this anime would be boring and plain. My opinion changed after Machi shows up. She is soooo cuteeee, If I'm the bear I would totally d.............

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu Definitelythe one to watch this season. Hopefully it continue to get even better in the next 24 episodes

Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalités man, it's awful
a1l2d3r4e5d6
Seisen Cerberus - Somewhat reminds me of a game that I play. ('protagonist bound to a dragon in a way' story) It hasn't really captured me in the first 20 minutes. The main character makes me want to punch his face with all that "I'm great, lel" attitude.

Onigiri - I have no idea what happened in the 3 minutes I was shown. Opening was filled with terrible jiggle-physics and it felt too fast for something too short. I blinked once and I missed quite a few parts.

Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV - Yay! More FFXV stuff. Complemented my experience with the exclusive demo that was bundled with FF Type-0 PS4 day one edition. Added a bit to the backstory, I suppose, that the aforementioned demo picked up on. It wasn't really that remarkable. The fight scene was decent. I guess this is just more fuel for the hype train. Director's the one who directed Hitsugi no Chaika, eh? Noct with Chaika face maybe..?
Justykanna
Endride: I really thought I'd be interested in this one but I was pretty bored throughout the entire thing. Boy falls into new world, which is what he imagined, with powers and doesn't know how to use them. He also goes out of his way to be as annoying about this as possible too. It looks alright, but I can just see this dragging on in a tale of exploring for one guy and revenge for the other. So I'm dropping this one.

Hundred: Infinite Stratos 3.0? I've been interested in this sorta thing for a while and this looks promising. It's reasonably pretty and the main character isn't even one of those annoying types... yet. The designs of the first few suits are pretty cool and they even have classifications. OP song was nice too. Doesn't really feel like there's a real story other than the whole "going to school to learn" but if this even close to what Infinite Stratos (Season 1) was, at it's best, then it's a keeper. Emile's a bit of an oddball... I don't even know how to describe him. I feel like he's one I'll either strongly like or dislike. We'll see how this shapes out, I'm looking forward to this one though.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: There's a lot to like here. It looks really nice and music sounds really good so far. I'm really curious how this story will go and that's probably my only worry with how this could go in twelve episodes. Feels like an Attack on Titan type thing with zombies so it's a bit of a repeat of a different series. I'll be watching this one for sure.

Kuromukuro: I'm very cautiously optimistic about this one. The show started off as boring as I've ever seen but the second half was fantastic with some really awesome music to add. It looks fantastic and if the focus on this one is sword-play, which is what I'm seeing, this could be a nice change from the normal "guns" thing we see in so many other mecha shows. Where am I worried then? It's the story. Yukina doesn't seem like anything special and she could very well turn out to be some clueless teenager that magically grows in a short time. That or she could be another annoying main character. Lots of thoughts on this one. Let's see where it goes.

Twin Star Exorcists: I struggled to get through this. Not one, but both main characters seem really annoying to me. The enemies look really bland and the colouring of the "other world" looks so weird in relation to everything else. Not continuing with this one.
Lanturn
Anne Happy Cute, and funny at times. Worth a watch if you like those all female cast shows.
Pawsu
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu: Really confused so far, and it seems to have a similar plot like many other animes, but I have hopes it gets better. My opinion is so-so right now. Also the one girl is cute so I set her as my avatar =w=
xxdeathx
And you thought there is never a girl online? - I've missed those anime adaptations of LN series with ridiculously long titles where the characters are part of some group/club and every episode is about them going out and doing fun stuff without much a plot, so this kinda brings back the nostalgia of Oreimo, Saekano, Haganai, and other similar shows. Really been hyping this one since I heard it got an anime 3 months ago, and it's as good as I had hoped. Although judging by the summary, I didn't expect everyone else in his guild to be female irl, only the main one Ako.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress - zombie shows are scary as hell, but damn this one had me hooked from start to finish. unfortunately I feel like the next few episodes probably won't be as intense as this one.

Anne Happy - Don't like it. All of the characters except Ruri really annoy me, and she's just generic too. Wait she fell in love with a construction sign...what...
BigEarsMau
My Hero Academia - So far, the only anime I hyped for this season. Watched the first episode during the night and loved it instantly. The art style is beautiful, the animation is fluid, most of the comedy are pretty funny, the voice actors matches perfectly with the characters (Bakugou's voice is so badass, and the fact that his VA also voices Genos from OPM and Niizuma from Bakuman), and ass-quaintance (>ω^). I also liked Porno Graffiti's OP I hope it get mapped. Brian the Sun's ED is ok I guess. Can't wait for episode 2 and hopefully Ochako is in it cuz she is best girl pls don't fight on me. 9/10

Onigiri - I kinda interested with the game, so I'm planning to watch this one

Twin Star Exorcists - Looks interesting. Also planning to watch it
a1l2d3r4e5d6
12-sai.: Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki - Oh, an adaptation of an adaptation short that I watched a while ago. Episode 1 is more or less just a refresher for me. It's like some of those shoujo romance anime that I enjoyed watching, but set in a younger setting (i.e. In elementary school instead of the high school and college setting that I've seen.). Pretty standard stuff. Expecting some of the things that I've seen in other shoujo-romance stories. (e.g. that one bitch girl who likes the main hero and detests the main heroine for being close to he hero, etc.)
I think I'll enjoy guessing the voices in this one. :v

Sousei no Omnyouji - Ermahegrd! Wagakki Band for theme song performances! o: It got me interested for long enough. Animation seem consistent, but lackluster. I'll keep it rolling.

Unhappy♪/Anne Happy♪/Unhappy Go Lucky!/♪♪♪/Whatever-ppy♪ - Moeblob anime? It entertains by using misfortune, it seems. I'm expecting a few chuckles as it's the director of Baka to Test leading the team. A few moments and some visual aspects have already reminded me of the aforementioned anime. :p

Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja nai to Omotta? - lol, a wallet warrior. xD Not really expecting anything out of this. It's a matter of whether I can take it or not. Another video game setting story to my collection. It seemed promising - a band of friends playing a common mmo.
It was going so nice for me, until they met in real life. Harem tagged!
Ako's irl appearance looks so nice! If only she wasn't that busty. :/ Mistook the theme song at the end for a ClariS song...
Well, it's not annoyed me so far. I've grown tired of shows like this. It doesn't seem hard to consume for me, as it stands now.
Navizel
Pan de Peace - it's ok

Mayoiga - Spraying shit with perfume won't make it smell good. The only likable one is the driver. The rest are so edgy. Starting a new life my ass.

Bakuon - horrible and boring and basically nothing happens.

Space Patrol Luluco - Another shit

Boku no Hero Academia - I like the ass girl. I think that's it so far.

Bungou Stray Dogs - It's alright. Nothing special so far. I'll probably drop it just like Noragami and Kekkai Sensen but whatever
xxdeathx
Sakamoto desu ga - not my cup of tea at all....
a1l2d3r4e5d6
Koutetsujou no Kabaneri - Why did I decide to watch this? Oh right, EGOIST. It's like a re-skinned Shingeki no Kyojin. I was hoping that I at least never hear Eren's voice in this, but I was quickly disappointed.

Kuromukuro - Not breaking my trend of watching every P.A. Works' produced series. I'm not really a fan of mecha. I'll keep it around and see where it leads.
Kyonko Hizara
Kuromukuro: I'm going to give this one a couple more episodes because I am not sure yet what to think of it. So far for a mech anime it doesn't seem to be as poorly executed as most of the genre, but I wouldn't be surprised if that falls off quickly.

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri: I watched maybe 5 minutes of this before I lost interest completely.
DakeDekaane
Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban: PV looked quite promising compare with what we got in the real deal. Some awkward CGI being thrown randomly. Animation looked choppy sometimes, too. That'd be my complains about this. It's going through the good way though.

My Hero Academia: The animation here is really good. Introduces the world in a proper way to understand what happens. Goofy but strong-willed MC. I haven't read the manga, so I hope there's a good development.

Mayoiga: Bus driver best character. Nothing interesting, nothing really bad, just an average show.

Terra Formars Revenge: Our favourite bugmen can glow now, cool.

Kyoukai no Rinne: Cool OP and ED songs. I somewhat liked the first season, so I'll stick with this too.

Bungo Stray Dogs: For a moment I thought this was going to be a serious thing, but comedy gives it some kind of refreshing air. The animation also looks really good.

Sakamoto desu ga?: This is probably one of the most random shows I've watched. Could've worked better as a short anime, I don't know.
xxdeathx
Haifuri - I was pretty hyped for this one cause the visuals and lineup looked good. For most of the episode I thought it felt too much like Kancolle (which wasn't really good), but maybe the ending might change that.

Flying Witch - Boring as hell and the characters look like they're from shoujo anime

Kiznaiver - Too dark, edgy, and uninteresting. I thought this was supposed to be a hype show so I found it rather underwhelming.
YamiHikari
Mayoiga: Seems nice so far. Coming from someone who liked Another, it's pretty enjoyable with the visuals, intense/mysterious/ominous atmosphere and gets the audience thinking, a lot, like who's gonna die, what's gonna happen next? Though level of making the audience want to watch more isn't there yet, should be able to hook the audience better next episodes..Hope it does the plot/characters justice further on~ Wish it isn't too predictable as well and I expect more shocks! Other than that I'd say we're all expecting deaths

Anne Happy♪ - moe and simple, just that the concept with the Unlucky group is something I haven't seen(?) which is refreshing- and also the comedy is something nice to add. I guess it'd be the moe anime for me this time, the characters are just so darn cute.

Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja nai to Omotta?: I expected the typical harem anime cliche but I guess the concept behind the plot and the uniqueness of Ako is quite appealing. Character design wise, fits really well. I'll give it a shot though I can't confirm if I'll finish it or drop it.
-Atri-
Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? : lel
a1l2d3r4e5d6
Shounen Maid - Oh boy! It's actually pretty nice. Light hearted. Madoka annoys me though. I won't really expect much of a story, besides the boy getting used to his new life.
Fourth
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress - Quality animation, interresting story. Probably the most exciting anime of this season

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - MC is charming. I like him.

Boku no Hero Academia - MC is charming OK. I like him.

Ace Attorney - second ep is kinda good but animation is "dragon ball super" grade.

Kiznaiver - Cool art and character design(Nico is a QT) but the story is very confusing.

Asterisk war - Flora's voice is making me insane.
Navizel
Joker Game - One of the more interesting ones. Applying the 3-episode rule on this one.

Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? - I also like eating McDonald's once in a while.
DakeDekaane
Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?: Watched this due being VG related with really low expectations, but actually enjoyed the first episode, I just hope this doesn't derail into something like OreShura or similar harems (I'd feel bad for the poor Ako).

Kiznaiver: Pretty animation, but the premise is a bit nonsensical, I get the idea about sharing the pain between a lot of people, but what else?

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu: I have to say I'm biased towards time leap shows. I like how they don't go into a deep explanation about why the parallel world and introduce the characters and the main setting, likable characters, animation and stuff. But this one goes straight to the point not once, but twice, and that worries me a bit.

Kuma Miko: I didn't expect the lewdness in the last part. The art is lovely and cute but not in excess, making it a good experience.
-Atri-
Sakamoto desu ga?: what should i say about it.... kinda random for me
Crane game girl: the fuck is that
Pan de peace: It's fine for me despite how short it is, but its lack of plot unfortunately
a1l2d3r4e5d6
High School Fleet/Haifuri - Or as I like to call, Strike Girls und Hagane no Arpeggio: KanColle. Good ol' banana peel. That development threw everything I thought this anime was out of the window. I might keep it if the story continues this way. Hoping that the rest of the characters are explored upon. (Such a waste with that large collection of a cast, if that's not the case)

Flying Witch - They're 15?! I like the character designs. Sounds of new voices emanate from the main characters, quite bad at times. Not sure how I feel about the pacing. It's slow, then in jolts you with something before you fall asleep, reminiscent of my experience with Non Non Biyori. The supernatural element kinda reminds me of Re-Kan!, albeit with witchcraft. Had some laughs. Random shot of a 9 (assuming the episode title and mentioned previous age) y/o girl's behind made me uncomfortable. That Mandrake though.

Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge - WcDonald's! Seems more of a series of sketches instead of an episodic or a full story that spans the whole series. Watching that made me think of Non Non Biyori. Checked afterwards and surprise-surprise, it's the same director! (Some of the Non Non Biyori team is in the staff, actually)
Eh, not sure what I think about it now. Nothing is really happening. I'll keep it around as it's not really boring me.

Kiznaiver - ...bring you a story about youth that you've never seen before. That's a pretty bold statement. I'm quite interested in what this young studio has to offer. Quite hard to judge what it's gonna be like at this stage. Oh look, a member of supercell did the original character design.
Navizel
Kuma Miko - Only the sex jokes are funny to be honest.

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - wow that was terrible. Dropped it halfway. Unfunny and generic.

Anne Happy - Not the kind of slice of life I like.
Kyonko Hizara
Kiznaiver: Trigger art on point. The characters seem pretty cool as well. I think I kind of get what the story is but I am not sure if I understand completely yet, but I guess that is to be found out.

Flying Witch: This feels very calming and I think was very relaxing to watch. The characters have nice designs and their voices are very fitting. However, I feel what might set this back in the future is the movement of the plot. At some points it was very slow, but then it picked up and caught my interest again. I think the slower movement might be more fitting for it tho.

Haifuri: Ship memes. It's Kancolle but except they are on the ships instead of being the ships.

Boku no Hero Academia: I didn't actually care to pick this up until the 2nd episode aired, but I am very glad that I decided to watch this. I was thinking that this anime was going to be a tame and normal shounen anime, but good thing I was convinced otherwise. The animation is interesting and the main character has a lot of personality to him.
Rio-
Haifuri - "It's Girls und Panzer but with Ships". I like the Military-genre anime ever since I watched GuP so I guess I'll continue watching It.
(And I'm falling in Love with the Opening, and Amamiya Sora voicing as Moeka. <3)

-
I forgot about this season series, so I'm gonna do a "first-episodes" marathon tonight I guess. Only watched Haifuri for now.
a1l2d3r4e5d6
Wagamama High Spec - Eh, not expecting anything. It's your joe average echhi harem kind. Being only 3 minutes long, it doesn't have much time to, at least, show much echhi content in an episode, detracting from one of the limited selection of things that can catch the attention of the viewer. Hey, at least I get to hear Mariko Honda again. \o/

Sansha Sanyou - All these new voices! I welcome any 4-koma comedy anime adaptations. I might enjoy this, but I remain cautious because of some new names in the production team. Holy crap that animation. It's very risky with that level of detail at the beginning. It's not movie-tier, but it's the best out of all I've seen lately. They'd have to maintain that throughout the series to impress me now. (>inb4 degrades halfway through the first episode)
Manysi
Kiznaiver: Worst possible writer, she just can't make relatable characters. Dialogs were going way too fast while having a lot of information that i had to stop the episode at times to understand. Art was great, the characters could give good impressions of their personality and matched their design well. I think the story most likely wont meet people's expectations but we'll see.

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri:
Liked it, everything was spot on except for the opening song, felt like the vocal was off the tune most of the time. Don't really see more problems with it as for my part. I know many people will label Kabaneri as AOT clone, when its nothing of the sort.

Boku no Hero Academia: I read the manga and can confirm that this is going to be great. It might not be that outstanding right now but please, be patient. It just needs time to develop.

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
24 episodes long which is always a good thing. Can't really tell if i like it or not. There were some things bugging me the whole time like how the MC couldn't tell what happened to him. (talking about the time recur) "Satella" 's personality also wasn't clear to me. She didn't have a lot of facial expressions that she is kinda empty. Hope that the plot holes will be filled sooner or later so it can became an enjoyable show.

edit: Ass War 2nd season: Yapp, thats still shit. Gotta map the opening rn.
xxdeathx
Wagamama High Spec - didn't realize it was a 3.5 min show (2 without the opening), and those are never fun. between this and aokana, i'm having trouble finding a real eroge anime...

Tanaka-kun is always listless, just like this anime. My patience was not enough to finish half the episode.
Lanturn
Rinne S2: Caught up finally. Still enjoying it.

Re:zero: This is one of those anime that I can happily say that I want the MC to die... for good reasons! Everyone should die! \o/

tana...zzzzzzzzz

Wagama: What?

Haifuri: love the OP! and uh ships!

No Girls Online: well sure. I'll be watching more I guess. This feels like it'll be a guilty pleasure to watch. So far enjoyable.

Still need to watch Iron Fortress ;_;
-Atri-
Haifuri: lolis~ and fuck akeno~
Yohanes
Anne Happy I always liked this kind of anime, so I'm kinda biased already. Characters are cute, and ..... I guess that's the thing that really matters

Flying Witch Meh, so-so. But I don't hate it

Haifuri Kancolle? Girls Und Panzer? Both?

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri Probably the show that everyone and their dogs has been hyped for. First episode is really intense, so it already set a pretty high bar for this anime. Hope the following episode can keep up

Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? Man, I love this. For some reason this anime makes me feels like watching Noucome all over again (probably because the MC's seiyuu is the same)

Sakamoto desu ga? I could say I'm a bit dissapointed, but we'll see how it goes

Sansha Sanyou Slightly different version of Anne Happy, but I don't like it as much as the aforementioned show

Shounen Maid To put it simply, like Hayate no Gotoku, with less fooling around, more realistic setting, but no lolis. Like it, really heartwarming

Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge Do you want to be like Tanaka? just watch this
Pepsi Cola
I'm watching a lot of series this season, so I'll be brief.

-Sakamoto desu ga?: I love the weird sense of humor, I'm definitely continuing.
-12-sai.: Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki: So cute and sweet, and it's also a good series to watch with a younger sister.
-Boku no Hero Academia: Gotta love teh shounen
-Gyakuten Saiban: Sono "Shinjitsu", Igi Ari!: This anime adaptation only has an episode or two left to convince me to keep watching. I can definitely see how it would be a good game, just maybe not a good tv show.
-Joker Game: Very odd storyline and pacing so far, but it really sucks you in! I can see myself finishing the series, but I can't really say where it's going.
-Mayoiga: Another one I'll definitely continue! I'm a sucker for mysteries!
-Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?: I am head over heels for the art style. It may or may not be a typical ecchi harem, but I really liked the first episode, and I thought the dynamic between Ako and Rusian was really funny.
-Kuma Miko: I love love love bears, and it's sooo cute! I'm also enjoying the country, mountain setting because most anime I've seen takes place in Tokyo, so it's interesting to see the other side of things.
-Wagamama High Spec: I'm going to finish it no matter what because the episodes are so short, but I got nothing out of the first episode at all. The ecchi wasn't even that great.
-Haifuri: I knew I was going to love this series just from the poster and summary on MAL. I got a lot of Free! vibes from it (one of my favorite series), and not just because of the water theme. I also love water and the ocean, cute anime girls and sailor girls, as well as friendship themes in anime, so it was perfect for me.
-Pan de Peace!: I had read the 4-koma beforehand, and it was just the cutest thing ever. It's definitely not for everyone, but it's also super short like Wagamama, so give it a shot! It won't waste but three minutes of your time if you don't like it!
-Koutetsujou no Kabaneri: Literally an Attack on Titan rip off, it's an "original' story from WIT Studio, who animated AOT. I'm not going to lie though; I still really enjoyed it.
-Super Lovers: Episode 1 felt like a Boku no Pico prequel, and Then in Episode 2, it became more like a new and improved Junjou Romantica. I also predict twinscest in this series. Other than that, I'm not exactly sure how to feel, but I think I'll keep watching.
Rio-
Bakuon!! - Is this a motorcycle commercial or what? Jokes are decent enough for a little bit of laugh but nothing else interest me.

Joker Game - Somehow in my opinion this gonna be one of the best series this season. And I love the kind of mystery in this series.

Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta - I thought this will be a typical Ecchi & School-Life Anime but I think I was wrong. It's better than I expected, the first episode that is.

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri - For an Original series, this looks really good and promising. Music and Graphics does feel like I'm watching a spin-off of Shingeki no Kyojin but so far I liked it. And EGOIST ofc.

Boku no Hero Academia - I'm not planning to watch this before, but seeing the review from some ppl said It's good. So I try watching it, and yep It's good. MC is good (I haven't read the manga so yeah) and the art is kinda goofy but I like it.

Gakusen Toshi Asterisk S2 - Same like before, nothing to add.

-----
Welp... There's still some series that I haven't watched yet. So expecting more impressions later
Haruto
Koutetsujou no Kabaneri : Interesting Series, the story definetly looks similiar with shingeki no kyojin. Graphics and Stuff, hmm kinda like Studio Ghibli's Animation and City Hunter's Graphics as well lol idk. The Music, Quite Cool too and i like the Opening song of it cuz EGOIST <3

Gakuen Toshi Asterisk 2nd Season : just the same, but hey new characters and stuff!

Flying Witch : o yep it does looks boring but i dont hate it lol
