C – Episodes #1~4

A noitaminA series which drew a lot of attention due to its focus on the “financial district”. C, or better known as “C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control”, didn’t have the best start of this season. The plot was messy and lacking direction, the presentation generic, and the worst offender being the seemly lack of budget to spend on the visual department. However, like another beloved NoitaminA series from last year, C has begun to find its own footing and is able to compete in this crowded Spring Season of anime.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica – The Ending

Tiger & Bunny – Episodes #01~2

The new series from Sunrise. In short, it’s great. The show took us back to the familiar territory of superheroes while adding a new twist to the setting, and it’s fair to say that the combination worked out quite well.

Spring Season Quick Impressions

This post will be a recap for my impressions of the shows I watched this season so far. Unlike my other ep1 reviews this one will be fairly short. I won’t cover the ones I already mentioned as you can find out my thoughts on them in their separate posts.

X-men – Episode #01

X-men is the third installment of the Marvel-Madhouse collaboration project which aims to bring the famous Marvel Franchises to Japan in anime form. While both Ironman and Wolverine came out unsatisfactory when they should’ve been so much better, the first episode of this series does look promising however. If anything this feels a lot more similar to the comic books that we got so used to than the two previous series.

Steins:Gate – Episode #01

– “Prologue to the Beginning and End”

Arguably the most anticipated show this season, Steins:Gate is an anime adaptation from the highly successful Visual Novel from 5pb and Nitroplus. The story mainly deals with mystery, time travelling, thriller, murder and soggy gel banana.

Nichijou – Episode #01

So here we are, the next slice-of-life yonkoma comedy series from KyoAni who brought us Lucky Star and K-ON!. As a whole it’s yet to click, but the production quality is so good sometimes you feel like forgiving them.
