Sakura Quest is off to a good start, Spring 2017 isn't. To be honest, I'm not quite reluctant in indulging too muchthis season given the amount of prequels that are airing. That's not to say that they're bad, or that I don't have real expectations for them -- it's just they practically bring nothing new to the …
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 2 – Episode 1
It's a very appropriate time to rewarch Konosuba now with this fever of mine. After all, laughter is the best medicine. Amidst sneezes and coughs are stiffled laughters courtesy of Kazuma and co's stupid looking derpy faces. The faces are probably the most apparent punchline throughout the episode, and they sure did a great job …

Kuzu no Honkai – Episode 1
Boob groping, french kisses, foreplays, squelchy sounds, a twisted relationship... if you're someone who's too pure for these kinds of stuff then you better get out of this page. NOW. Oh boy. I think I just opened a can of worms by picking this show up. I honestly wasn't expecting Kuzu no Honkai to be …
Flip Flappers – Episode 1-2
Flip Flap. Flip Flap. Flip Flap. Hear that? That's the sound of an anime knocking on this blog's door! Come in, Flip Flappers! Flip Flappers is one of the few that garnered mixed reception during its premier. One side of the spectrum claims experiencing a sense of wanderlust, excitement from the prospect of discovering unknown places and vistas. Another side …
3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 1
"See? There's no place for you in this world." "There's nothing." "You've gotten better." "You left so suddenly... Ayumu and Kyouko are worried about you." That's a lie. The previous remarks were all that was spoken before Rei Kiriyama (Kengo Kawashini), 17-year old professional shogi player, uttered his first line of speech capping the former …
Yuri!!! On Ice – Episode 1
All right. I know nothing about figure skating -- as with possibly the case of anyone who's watching this -- but if there's one thing I can be damn sure and proud of, it's that this premier deserves a gold medal. I think it's fair to say that Yuri!!! On Ice doesn't need further introduction after charming everyone with its jaw-dropping …
Mob Psycho 100 – Episode 1
Psychedelic funky. That's what I'd call Mob Psycho 100's debut episode. I bet most of you were waiting for this, and I'm glad to inform you that episode 1 definitely delivered. Conceived by the same creator of One Punch Man, ONE, Mob Psycho 100 is every bit the quirky and crazy stuff you can imagine. …
Amanchu! – Episode 1
Amanchu! is the only show I was looking forward to this season. Coming from the same author of the beloved Aria, Kozue Amano, Amanchu! retains the quality of its predecessor's gentle touch and added a slightly upbeat twist to it (probably why there's an exclamation mark in the title). Amanchu! certainly looks great on paper. …
planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume – Episode 1
All right. I guess not doing a season preview works better for me as surprises seems to have a greater effect without the hype pre-season window shopping generates. A couple of days ago we had ReWrite, and today we have planetarian. Both of which are yet another addition to the ever growing list of Key …

Tales of Zestiria the X – Episode 1
I love the Tales of Zestiria game not for its gameplay or story/plot, but for its endearing motley crew. Honestly, the game mechanics and the plot are below sub-par and the only reason you'll be playing it is because of the characters themselves. Now, I'm not really here to compare the adaptation and the source …
