First Impressions: Natsu no Arashi Season 2, Book of Bantorra, Letter Bee, Fairy Tail

I finally got my Crunchyroll membership and by god does their media player suck serious balls. The video keeps jerking the whole time. I’m allowed to bitch about CR because, unlike most of you people, I’ve spent my precious money on a membership. Mwahaha, just try to get me down off my high horse…ok, I’ll get down now and review these episodes…

My Rating System Explained!

A = If you watch anything this season, watch this

B = Very good, sometimes surprisingly so.

C = If you have the time, you should check this out

D = Not my kind of thing, I won’t be watching this

E = Bad. Very bad, ignore this show

F = Frustratingly awful

First Impressions: Kobato, Kimi ni Todoke, Darker than Black 2, 11eyes

My next first impressions post was meant to include anime like Book of Bantorra and Natsu no Arashi but I’ve been having some administrative errors with Crunchyroll and it won’t accept my paypal. But that’s for another day. For no we’re going to have to continue watching fansubbed anime. Oh poor us, however will we survive!

First Impressions: Asura Cryin’ Season2 Ep1

Mainly because of my love for the good-old fashion romance/comedy anime, I decided to go ahead and take a very cautious look at the oh-so-hated upon Asura Cryin’ Season 2 episode. I will have to admit that even though Scamp gave a rather good review on it, I still am a fan of the fist season of Asura Cryin. Which is why I was surprised to not see to many people defending this anime. Truthfully, I have to hand it to Seven Arcs and praise them for the mecha-style character designs they did. I really enjoyed the story line…BUT, I definitely did not like the ending. *sob, *sniffle sniffle, it made me cry! *runs while wailing all the way to the bathroom to blow nose.  XD

First Impressions: Kampfer, Sacred Blacksmith, Nyan Koi, Seitokai no Ichizon

Ah the good old first impressions posts. So often they turn out hopelessly wrong. In fact, I’ve found that my predictions during the season preview is actually a better indicator of the quality of the anime than the first episode. With that in mind, if you would like to make an argument for an anime I’ve given a D then by all means do so. Tell me how it got better and I’ll give it another shot. However please do not try to make me watch an anime that I’ve rated an E or an F. They were rated that lowly for a reason.

First Impressions: Needless, Canaan, Princess Lover, Bakemonogatari, Spice and Wolf Season 2, Tokyo Magnitude

I should have had this post out earlier but I was busy getting thoroughly wet at a giant music festival. I am never camping at a music festival again. I’ve done it twice now and I feel I’ve now gotten a proper feel for festival camping aka: it’s very fucking wet.

The goddess has returned. You know, the one who’s name begins with a H. Yup, of course I’m talking about Horo!

First Impressions: Umi Monotagari, Aoi Hana, Umineko, and those other anime with confusing names

It’s been exactly a year now since I started blogging and I started off by writing one of these: A Summer Season first impressions post (actually it was a post where I bashed Sekirei, god that post took me about 3 hours to complete, WordPress completely baffled me). I could do a post on all i have learned about how to be a successful blogger but it all basically boils down to ‘post often’ which is bloody obvious anyway. So instead lets get down to reviewing some of these new anime.
