Wakfu: The First Impressions

I've just seen the first episode of a series recommended to me by a friend... And, yes, I'm well aware that this is a French series (that fact that it's subtitled while everyone's speaking French is undoubtedly the biggest clue), but it has an anime style of art similar to Code Lyoko (another French animated show I like). In short, yes, I'm counting this as an anime. It's really a Japanese shorthand for their pronunciation of "animation", so technically all animation is "anime". As for what I thought of it...

It's set in an awesome fantasy world (always a "plus" in my proverbial books) that features a type of magic/life force for which the series seems to be named after. The personality and/or attitude of our hero, Yugo, is in such a way that I wouldn't be at all surprised if he and Klonoa were long lost siblings or something. Along with the beginnings of some plot threads... Is Yugo really a "dragon"? (If that means "magical reptilian beings" or something else is yet to be determined.) How much of a threat are these demonic beings/items/whatever beings referred to as "Shushu" really? Not to mention who the crap was that guy from earlier who tried to kill both baby Yugo and that "dragon" guy (I can't remember his name but it's kind of long.)... But it seems that this first guy we saw who got possessed by a "Shushu" is not only going to be hanging around for a while, but he also thinks he's the hero of this story... (LOL! That's a laugh...)

So, just as that friend of mine suspected, I like this series and I'm going to watch the second episode just after I'm done typing and posting this! Anyway, I'm also going to put a link to the first episode in right... Here! But, FYI, if you're using an AdBlocker program, I'd suggest you disable it for this site. It can prevent you from seeing it past the start of the opening theme.

The End of Silver Spoon

By now I've seen about two semesters of Yugo Hachiken's time at Ooezo High School. And... I'm sorry, but I don't really have that much to say about it aside from this.

Our hero learned to appreciate good food and hard work more and is now more assertive than before and I enjoyed watching him work his way to that. Although, I have to admit, some of that is from the fact that Yugo's abuse (self-inflicted or otherwise) tends to look rather hilarious in this series.

The End of Hunter X Hunter.

"Enjoy all the little detours." Yeah, but in my case this was a HUGE detour in my life (as far as watching anime goes) but... Yeah, I enjoyed every minute of it. More about my thoughts about this version of the Hunter X Hunter anime adaptation (and, of course, spoilers) at the other side of this jump break...

The End of DRAMAtical Murder.

Well, eleven more episodes after seeing that first episode. What are my thoughts about this adaptation of a BL visual novel? (Spoiler alert: After this post, I'm going to start a Let's Play of the original visual novel) Speaking of which, I'll be talking about the anime adaptation of DRAMAtical Murder as a whole, and also a bit about the original visual novel as a result so...

SPOILER ALERT! Don't click past the jump break if you haven't seen the anime and/or don't want to be spoiled about the visual novel as well.

The End of Katekyo Hitman Reborn

Another series I started watching before the blog started, which now, I've finally watched 'till...the "End"...

So, my thoughts about the comedy anime/manga series turned battle anime/manga series titled in America as simply "Reborn" as a whole... After the jump break of course.

DRAMAtical Murder: The First Impressions

Yes, I know, the spelling of this series name is a bit odd; but that's the way it's presented. So that's how I'm going to type it. But this isn't going to be your usual first impressions post. For one thing, I actually already heard of this series before...

Sword Art Online II: The First Impressions

Now, as I recall, this blog was started after I saw the first episode of Sword Art Online so that's why there's no First Impressions post for the first season. Now that the second series has aired, maybe I can also talk about my thoughts on the first series at the same time...

Free! Eternal Summer: The First Impressions

It's most definetely summer! And, you know what time it is! (Time to spin The Wheel of Mythicality?) No, this isn't Good Mythical Morning... (Time to spin The Wheel of Morality...?) "Turn, turn, turn, tell us the lesson that we should learn..." Nope. Besides, Akurei, what are you doing here? (Just wanted to do that one gag, carry on.) Anyway, what I wanted to say is... Season Two of Free! Iwatobi Swim Club is here!

More on this after the jump break...

Black Bullet: The First Impressions

So...An insectoid infection, young girls cursed from birth by the very virus at the source of the aforementioned insectoid infection, but they and their partners are the last hope for humanity’s survival... This is my first impressions of Black Bullet!

The End of Hakuoki Reimeiroku (plus, the first season of Hakuoki itself)

Well, this unintentionally ended up being a milestone post for my blog. (Yeah, this is going to the the 100th published post!) (Wait, so you're counting the "First Impressions", all of the Let's Play series, "This Week in", "Random Rambling Rants", and the "Overthinking Things" posts in this count?) Yeah, why not? Those entries are part of the blog as well. Anyway, as this posts title suggests, I'm going to type about my thoughts on not just the anime adaptation of the prequel to this particular otome game series and the first season of the anime adaptation of the main otome game itself. (Shameless plug incoming... We also have a Let's Play running of the 3DS port of that very game right on this blog!) So, with out further ado, this is the end of Hakuouki (Reimeiroku and the first season of the main series)...

No Game No Life: The First Impressions

Our world... It's a world where fate is cruel and order unkind... Where conformity is worshipped and anything that's in any way different is crushed and tossed aside... But, if you find out that you've been born in the wrong world, would you accept an invitation to another world? One where it's promised that you'll thrive? More on my thoughts about the first episode of "No Game No Life" after the jump cut...

The End of The World God Only Knows: Goddesses

Well, this is quite the pickle... Keima Katsuragi, the God of Conquest (more like "best gal game player ever"!) has reconquered the girls playing host to five of the six goddesses needed to seal away the old demons and save the world from literally becoming hell on earth. And, as seen in the previous episode, he was just so close to losing at zero trust. How will Keima pull this off? We'll see...

Of course, spoiler alert to any who haven't...'seen the ending' yet.
Note: Yes, I know this post was typed last year, but better this get published late than never.

The End of Campione

Well, I've just finished watching this one harem series on Crunchyroll and my thoughts about this series as a whole will be after the jump cut...

From the New World the First Impressions

I've heard interesting things about this series, mostly in the form of it being a crapsaccharine world, so let's see if any of what I heard even has a grain of truth to it...

The Severing Crime Edge the First Impressions

Hello! I'm just now publishing this post, even though I watched the first episode during the NaNoWriMo Hiatus, I've just kept this post in draft form 'till the beginning of December. Now, let's start this (belated) record of my..."first impressions" of this particular series...

Kuroko no Basket Season 2 the First Impressions

I've just seen the first episode of the latest season of Kuroko no Basket (Or "Kuroko's Basketball" if you're going by Crunchy Roll titles), and seeing Taiga Kagami trying to eat with his chopsticks in his left hand (as practice, of course) gave me an idea for me to do the same to hopefully improve on my typing skills. Except for me that would mean eating with my chopsticks in my right hand... yes, I'm left-handed. But past the jump break is what I thought about the first episode of the second season of this show...

Genshiken Second Generation the First Impressions.

Okay, okay, I admit it... I didn't finish the first series yet! *ducks to avoid a myriad number of thrown objects* Well, with that out of the way, here's what I thought of the first episode of Genshiken Second Generation (after the jump break of course) ...

The End of Watamote

So, Tomoko Kuroki has spent twelve episodes trying one hare-brained scheme or another to try to 'be more popular' and what does that result in...

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic the First Impressions

Well, I'm about to watch the first episode of Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, Aladdin and Alibaba, and...let's see where this show takes us...

The End of Oreimo

Well, I'm just about to watch the last episode of "Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai!" or translated into English, "There's No Way My Little Sister Can Be This Cute!" but that's absurdly long, so I refer to it as "Oreimo"...along with (I assume) a good portion of its viewers. Also, technically, this is the last episode of the second season...and the last episode of the first season had text in it that referred to it as a "good end", so I'm worried the last episode of this season will be a "bad end"...

...Well, time to bit the bullet...
