Seitokai Yakuindomo is getting a second season, so hype!


First impressions on some of this season's anime? I've watched the first (and second, depending on the series) episode(s) of Golden Time, Coppelion, NouCome, Non Non Biyori, Kill la Kill, and LB: Refrain.

Golden Time looks like the Romance/Slice of Life of the season right now. A good balance of laughs and serious moments in between, an attractive main girl that doesn't like being avoided because of her beauty, and different setting from the norm; a university rather than a high school.

Coppelion is rather slow paced at the moment, though that may just be me. More likely, it's due to the quiet and desolate setting. Action is sparse at the moment, but I expect it to pick up soon.The scenery is beautiful and the character stand out against the background well enough. There is a severe lack of background music (that or it's unnoticeable) and I think it's too emphasize said scenery, but I don't think it's a good choice. I expect more characters to appear in the next episode or so(the OP shows what seems to be a team of rivals or villains); 3 consistent characters is not enough.

NouCome is interesting, but it's ridiculous situations make me pause every few seconds. I doubt it's going to let up with that. Main girl was barely introduced, so I expect her to be the focal point of episode two.

Non Non Biyori is boring in most standards, but I'm going to stay with it because it reminds me of Higurashi, with the rural setting, extremely small class, and transfer student from the city. By no means do I think it's going to have any plot or character development. It's charming for me though. It's hard for me to hate anything.

Kill la Kill is some funny ecchi ♥♥♥♥. I like it. I don't have to think about it.

LB: Refrain is a bit hard to tackle with a first impression since it's a direct sequel. so far it looks like it's going to follow last season's recipe, and that would make sense. Riki's narcolepsy and Kyousuke leaving is probably going to have more presence, along with the main routes that are left.




I had to type this twice because of some crappy website time out so I apologize if there is any grammatical/spelling errors, or if some of this is not clear.

So Coppelion is an action oriented anime? I was thinking of watching it because it seemed very much about talking and it seemed more relaxed

Why is everyone raving about Kill la Kill someone please explain

[brandoprojectm]

Someone who needs to have it explained to them wouldn't understand anyway.

Hanasaku Iroha movie subbed. Feels with amazing animations inc.

I love you so much for not telling me what Kill la Kill is

[Ridder]

btw for anyone who likes what Studio Trigger does they also did an anime shortfilm called Little Witch Academia which runs four about 26 minutes.
it's kinda neat.

Oh, and I decided to watch this anime called Kyousougiga and my eyes are thoroughly pleased. It's also kinda neat.


Watching:
Strike the Blood
Log Horizon
Kill La Kill
Kyousougiga




Might start watching anything else but so far so good. Wheee this season

May as well summarize what I've watched so far right now

Upotte!! - girls that are guns that are also girls, educational in parts, would recommend so long as you're fine with ecchi
Nyaruko-san W - pretty much the S2 after Another Crawling Chaos, quite funny at parts and would definitely have you watch
Yuyushiki - slife of lice, do watch if you can
Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku (Going Home Club) - metahumour is the name of the game here, one of my favourite slice of lifes
Angel Beats - I can't really say much without spoilering but hnnnnnng it's wonderful
Oniai - Ecchi harem, quite humorous at parts; watch if this kind of thing is to your taste
Infinite Stratos (S1) - Fanservicey, yes, but the story elements near the latter half are quite serious and make for a nice mecha-harem. S2 seems to have literally lost the plot though
Kill Me Baby - My number one complaint is the awkward Engrish announcements of the title, but otherwise a decent adaptation of a good 4koma.

Infinite Stratos (S2) - eurrggghghgghghghgsjgfjhgsdkjhskfhskjdhkfjshkjh ♥♥♥♥ you Tatenashi Very, very fanservicey, but I guess I'll see if the plot actually pokes its head back in
Kill la Kill - Amazing, do watch
