First impression reviews in this post: Kyoukai no Kanata, Coppelion, Golden Time, Infinite Stratos 2, Nagi no Asukara.
Kyoukai no Kanata
Moe is in the air… heroine with megane and real supernatural ability to create swords from her own blood. A not-ordinary male hero, an immortal. Add some monsters and seemingly some politics. Supernaturally moe ! KyoAni is back !
I have no complain with the artwork, but the story so far… is kinda weird for me, even for anime standard. For the first 5-10 minutes, I actually thought this is another chuunibyou anime. Apparently that red sword is real.
Watching: yes !
Blogging: strong candidate !
Coppelion
Three girls, genetically altered to have extreme resistance to radiation, in abandoned Tokyo (something huge happened in Tokyo, causing extreme radiation and made it a ghost town).
I like this one ! Especially that the setting is not at school, though the characters are still school girls, and for some reason still wear school uniform in a dangerous mission.
Watching: yes.
Blogging: probably no.
Golden Time
I surprisingly like the first episode. The story is easygoing with a sense of old-style romance, a girl is chasing her childhood friend, to an extreme level. A new boy came in, became friends with the chased boy, and eventually falls for the girl. The artwork is kinda classic, remind me of anime style from few years back. Feels like watching anime from a time machine. Somehow I feel I will wait for new episodes every week at the same anticipation level as Kyoukai no Kanata.
Watching: yes.
Blogging: in consideration.
Infinite Stratos 2
A sequel of an anime we knew and loved. Does anyone feel the characters’ personalities kinda change this season? I mean, Laura is waaay too girly now. And Charlotte used to be my favorite heroine in IS, what happened to her? Since when they become dorm buddy?
Aaargh, hopefully this is just another not-so-successful re-introduction.
Watching: yes.
Blogging: in consideration.
Nagi no Asukara
Interesting setting. A group of humans live under water, but can still go to surface. People from the surface doesn’t seem to have the capability to breathe under water. Our heroes are 4 kids from underwater village. Promising first episode!
Watching: yes.
Blogging: mostly no.
