Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records - I've been waiting for this show. Just like KonoSuba, I always love the art made by mishima kurone (In the source material, not the Anime design) so I pretty much will watch this. I read a little bit of the novel, about magic school genre and "quite a scum" MC but I enjoyed It. Good Animation and well-executed jokes at some point too imo...

Sakura Quest - Kind of has this similar style as Shirobako (same studio, duh.), but a little bit more calming (City Girls living in Rural Side of Japan, trying to save the town with its tourism). I think I'll give it another shot but I think I'll watch it until the end.

Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism - Feminism - The Anime. Pretty interesting about the Armed Girls and the men have to coexist with them, other than that I can't expect much from this episode. The MC is quite badass tho'.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - I only watched the first quarter of Naruto: Shipudden (maybe half-quarter or less idk) and haven't read the manga at all. So I probably won't understand the character development and story of it (I did watch the Original Naruto tho'). And watching this, It's quite interesting for me and I think I'm gonna like it.

SAKURA QUEST: I'm going to keep watching this as long as I can because I love the animation style of P.A. Works, and it was very satisfying that they kept up the quality for this series. The plot might get more interesting later on with more of characters introduced, but right now you could argue that the plot is kind of stale. It's not that I don't like the small town, calm pacing, it's mostly that Yoshino is too much of a bitch for anything to progress decently, but hopefully that might change later on.

Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism: Oh boy, it's every other series about girls with weapons, only this one has 200% more matriarchy. Bliss pretty much sums up how I feel about the scenes on this one.

SAGRADA RESET: David Productions really can't do anything right aside from Jojo. Can I just get part 5 already instead of having to wait for this and the summer season to pass?

Baruto: Naruto Next Generations: Feels like a very unimpactful first episode to me, but I'll keep watching anyway. I didn't finish Shippuuden (though I read the entire manga), but it looks like they went away from the lazy animation that Shippuuden had, which is nice to see. Could be good, could be boring, who knows.

Granblue Fantasy: The Animation: I'm actually slightly interested in this one. Reminds me of Final Fantasy (oh, and Nobuo's part of the music team which is pretty cool). I could see myself getting into this. Animation looks a little weird though.

The Moon is Beautiful: Way off of the type of anime I usually watch and it starts out great, even if it feels weird to be watching this sorta thing. Maybe it's just that I can relate to this because I was this shy goofball in high school that couldn't talk to girls too. Really neat that there's things like LINE in it. The character interactions make me giggle. I'm super interested to see where this goes. I'll take forever learning names though. I've never been good with Japanese names.

Boruto: I was honestly quite surprised to see such well animated parkour, but it can't fix my view of the seemingly childish premise.

Tsuki ga Kirei: such a jarring experience with awful charter art and bad CG with amazing background art. Oh well, it is yet another super slow romance, easy drop for me.

Renai Boukun - A whacked up love triangle about a virgin, an angel and a yandere and it's really good. Looking forward for the upcoming episodes :D

Clockwork Planet: Well it is back to the typical low budget Xebec animation. In addition, I don't really like this ln or it's humor much. Strangely Xebec really dialed up the animation on the most erotic scene in the ep.

Renai Boukun: Decent humor is not bad if the animation wasn't so painfully bad. I would suggest just reading the manga instead of watching the anime

Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records: High School; Magic; Kinda ?? protagonist makes me want to watch it more. I want to see some good developments so I'll go with this one. Still just what the fuck is with this protagonist?

Sakura Quest: I really love series like this. New Game, Shirobako and any other animes like this is my thing so I'll hold unto this one.

Idol Time Pripara: I am a big fan of PriPara even though the last season Kami Idol arc is not fully subbed yet (I want more subs, I need more Jewlie and Janice >.<). This one either but IDC, I like their music. Not the lolis.
With the subs out, something really interesting happened. I want more!

Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism: Not really bad, kinda liked it. Harem?

Souryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni...: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) R18+ You kids get out. A short one but it's worth wasting your time.
Uncensored > Not
Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine: Yaoi fans, here's an anime for you.



EROMANGASENSEI where you at

Tsuki ga Kirei and Clockwork Planet because the animation was respectively so bad in both that it completely turns me off from watching anymore of either

Seikaisuru Kado: For the longest time, I was trying hard to figure out what was the point of this show. Ep 0 talked a whole bunch of stuff about super metals, and then we have aliens in Ep1. I still don't know what this show is about, but the CGI is really annoying at times and the show itself isn't that amusing. So what is there to watch for.... A overly perfect mc..... not for me.

Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel: Low budget mahou shoujo with nothing really amusing to watch in it........ not for me.

Love Kome: We Love Rice: Ummm.... anthropomorphized rice with jokes I don't understand........ Probably not for me.

Kabukibu!: Well I never cared for Kabuki. On top of that, there was pretty much no humor and the initial voice acting sounded terrifyingly bad to me.

Hinako Note: I really wanted to watch a SoL moe show this season, but even with Ogura Yui voicing a character, I could barely chuckle at this show.

Renai Boukun - Was planning to read the mango cuz' irl friend recommend it. But the Anime comes before I can read it. I enjoyed It and the comedy aspect really got me. Looking forward to the next episode and I might read the manga too in the meantime.

Clockwork Planet - Heard the Novel is great, so the hype is real for the series. tbh I kinda love the Animation they did for the background and the gear animation looks almost real, but the character design... not so much, might be worse than I thought (maybe lower than Xebec standard these days imo). I'm neutral for this cuz' I have a feeling the story might be good and not off from the source I hope, so I can green-mark this later if I change my mind...

Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul: I could never get into Genesis, so I had pretty low hopes going in. Oh well, starting out, the show has a lot of action scenes of various quality, ranging from some amazing knife throwing animation and cool spells to really blurry/unclear movements or just watching some small dude tackle others. While the animation quality in general is pretty amazing, execution didn't always lead to my amusement. Then we move onto the horrible, forced, and random romantic pairing scenes, that brought maximum cringe and what not, bringing the show from neutral to dropped. (And don't forget amazing faces http://puu.sh/vdxdv/4d52ae1c91.jpg)

Eromanga-sensei Well it's the return of Oreimo, but this time the siblings aren't related by blood. I don't think there is much else to be said. If you liked Oreimo, you'll like this, if not, then you probably won't

Form is submitted, to whoever's doing em.
(As soon as I figure out the English to Japanese names of some of these listed anime...)

Clockwork Planet: I liked the cute little interactions between the kid and his newfound 'friend' and the whole "we need to fix an artificial planet" brings some urgency into the story, but I just can't hold onto this one. There's too many silly moments and the kid himself could get a point to where he's annoying anyway. Also, sidenote: Can anime stop putting Fripside in everything?

Grimoire of Zero: I really like the premise of a half-breed, trying to change himself, physically. I really do. Reminded me sort of Inu-Yasha. But everything else feels so off. I feel like this anime doesn't take itself seriously for the most part and this could just enter into "this is today's mission" type thing.

Rage of Bahamut: No. Just... no. Annoying main character, random transformation (from... what... blushing?) and we solved the mystery on who this random wanted character is halfway through the episode. Just, nothing is appealing here.

Grimoire of Zero: I'm really undecided on this. On one hand, White Fox really stepped up their action animation and there were some semi funny scenes. On the other hand, some of the story segments just dragged on and on.

Tsugumomo: While I admit there was one part where I got a good laugh, most of the show was too cliche to be funny. Also the art feels very basic, creating this feeling that something is really lacking.

Eromanga-sensei - OreImo 2.0 with better imouto, nuff said. And ClariS + TrySail for the Song Performances are enough to hook me up with this series.

Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho - I'm probably gonna like this series onward, but I'll put this on neutral cuz' the first episode aren't really shows quite a lot of good points of this series (just this ordinary magic and witches genre, but one of the MC is a half-breed or "was" a Human). White Fox surely did quite a great job adapting this series, as expected from the one who made a good adaptation of Re:Zero.

Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka?: So many spoilers in the first few seconds (Scene happens at the end of Volume 3). Honestly though, I was deeply impressed by the adaptation. The use of that opening scene and Scarborough Fair really set the correct mood for this series. The jokes were told as they were in the story, and didn't try to add extra fanservice jokes. The only thing I really have to discredit is the awful animation budget, but with everything else being done correctly so far, it is definitely something I can get over.

Tsugumomo: Was this suppose to be made 15 years ago? I'm kind of a sucker for the youkai aesthetic but maybe if the genre wasn't so over saturated at this point, I'd be more about this series.

Re:Creators: Sadly all this show really has going for it are action scenes, and watching fast moving swords chasing a fast moving car isn't exactly a cool thing to watch. The show isn't very funny and the plot seems somewhere between nonexistant or convoluted mess whose surface has just been touched. I'll watch another ep to figure out more about it, but it'll probably be dropped.

Kenka Banchou Otome - Girl Beats Boys: During most moments, I wanted to say this was just another low budget shoujo series with all those generic gray mob characters, but I love the detail they put into the school walls and the triple punch in the last fight scene. It doesn't fix the cliche plot, but I'll give it a 2nd ep.

Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria: It is pretty much everything you expect after watching dungeon except the focus is on a group of 4 girls now. Low detail backgrounds with decently done action scenes. RPG like world and humor. Don't expect it to be very different than the original.

Fukumenkei Noise: I thought this series was okay at first, but then we see some semi creepy sprites sing twinkle twinkle little star and the logic jumps creating some of these weird actions was beyond me.

Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria - Well, if you like the Original DanMachi. You might like It too, And I liked It (Focused more to the Loki familia instead of Hestia familia). Decent details but with good Animation, Some Cameo of Bell, Hestia, etc. from the Original DanMachi. So far I like It.

Re:Creators - An Anime about how Anime Characters feel about our world, "The Land of Gods". Probably a Hidden Gem for this Season imo, at first I thought I won't watch it but after watching the first Episode It truly changes my mind completely for an Original work. Also Hiroyuki Sawano's pieces for the Soundtracks are amazing + The Animations are great. So I might watch It first priority every week.

Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai - I only watch a glimpse of it cuz' I watched It in my living room and I don't want my family found about this. So I might only watch It for "enjoyment" and nothing else (Or just dropped it. Kind of like Bikini Warriors imo)

Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho: I really want to like this, but if the story progression is going to be this slow, I don't know if I can keep watching it. I'll give it a couple more episodes to see if it picks up before I drop it.

Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka?: Already with the first episode, I'm interested in seeing how this series will play out. I really like the feeling this one gives off.

Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭ - Excluding the Episode 0 that is full of Fanservice, Good adaptation and a good flashback story in the first episode. Not really a fan of RomCom but It kinds of better than It's prequel in 2015 imo, The Animation kind of improving quite a lot from that too. I liked It...

Added another one, just for kicks. Edited my form.

Re:Creators: I question where the story is going with this one and the random camera angles are so.... random. But it looks pretty and apparently Sawano's doing the music. I really hope this anime doesn't take episodes for the characters to get used to the different world. I've seen that too many times. Gonna stick with this one and see where it goes.

Alice to Zouroku : J.C Staff made a smart move by making the Episode 1's duration longer than regular episode, i mean if they didn't do that, I won't understand what is happening :lol: and this anime turns out okay for me

Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism : Shouldn't judge an anime by its synopsis, this anime is really fun to watch :D at first I thought it was just about some crazy bitches swinging their sword and claiming their turf in school :lol: but in the end i was wrong :P

eromanga-sensei : You can't call it Incest if He's not her real brother

Re:CREATORS : Kinda confused by the story, I have so many question needs to be answered

Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭ : just like season 1, the episode 0 tells about horny-as-shit heroines who almost gangbanged the main character , if they keep doing this for the rest of the season, idk what to say. but it's good to see megumi katou again in new season ^^

Tsuki ga Kirei : this anime is, well i would give it 10 out of 10 just by watching the first episode. Tsuki ga Kirei got the type of story that I loved, and main character that really resembles me. No wonder It just jumped into top 10 anime this week (by Anime Trending), I mean it's really a good anime

Oh man, that was fucking hilarious, This was way better than I expected.I laughed so hard at the comedy.The MC teacher personality is perfect for this type of show,that reminds me of the MC from Trinity Seven.
With that said..I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and I'll most definitely keep up with this until the end.

Shingeki no Kyojin S2.
Actually i am waiting for this,one of the best written anime ever.

Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭
I am sure, I'm going to enjoy this season just as much as the first season! Best Girl Megumi owns Eriri and Utaha .

Eromanga-sensei.
I find this episode quite funny and cute, low score probably about some people still btching about oreimo. I mean at least they aren't blood related this time around XD

Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii Desu Ka? Sukutte Moratte ii Desu Ka?.
I am very impressed with the beginning of the story and I think the ending of the story will be sad.

Sakura Quest.
Really loving the show's understated comedy elements. Guaranteed a laugh out loud moment every episode.

Boruto.
i just don't like it.. from bad to boring..

Sagrada Reset.
I do wonder if every arc is going to end up being a reset, and then things change instead of being the same, throwing a wrench in their plans. We've had it twice already. I guess that's really the only way to make a reset present new things, but still.

Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka? - I actually watch this recently until the latest 3rd Episode... And man, It's really good and the Background music really makes you feel that You're in the same position as the characters there imo. Why did I miss this in the first week It aired?... I probably will read the novel if I have time too.

Hinako Note - Well, It's kind of like GochiUsa imo... but not as charming as it is.

Probably that's all the impressions I have for this season...

First 2 episodes were good, then it went to shit.

Eromanga
Its fun. Have a feeling it's gonna be one of those anime that never get a sequel and are there just to boost sales of original work. Megumi is top tier loli, waifu material.

Shingeki
Finally starting to get interesting after a bunch of "nothing" and melodrama. But that's just SNK in a nutshell.
