This post will be updated as I watch more 1st episodes.
Short and no images because I'm lazy.
Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei - The Animation
Well, it wasn't boring. But I didn't like it that much either. I think it was well executed though.7/10High School DxD New
This series is actually one of the good very ecchi shows out there. This episode was entertaining, though I didn't quite like how they didn't build up the story properly this time. My bad memory tells me the stories in the 1st season were built up better 'cause I remember myself feeling for them a bit, especially the Asia one. This time, I didn't feel anything.7/10Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Megami-hen
I also felt like they didn't care to build up the story which left me not being connected to it as I wanted to. It was certainly enjoyable though, as expected. 7/10Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi
That was a very good 1st episode. I think the acting and presentation of some things tried a bit too hard to be shocking or despair-inducing, which worked against the darkness that's really present in the material. I hope they discuss more about their world and the little girl's job, rather just showing "disturbing" and "dark" things as often as they can. Balance is the key.8/10Monogatari Series: Second Season
I really liked this. I like the Monogatari series more when it's very hyper (except for that star gazing episode which is the best episode of the franchise), so I thought Nisemonogatari and Nekomonogatari: Black were a step down from Bakemonogatari. 9/10Senki Zesshou Symphogear G: In the Distance, That Day, When the Star Became Music...
Plus points for the title. I watch this for the battles. I find it the singing + fighting combo cool to watch. And as a bonus, I think this didn't feel as stupid (in a bad way) as the 1st season. It's still a bit boring when they're not singing though.6/10Servant x Service
I found more of the jokes to be funny, but none made me laugh out loud. The comedic timing was good though. I wasn't bored. I don't know if it'll be able to maintain this though.7/10Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu
Well, that was an excellent 1st episode in my opinion. The acting was very good. I can hear Makino Yui and Saito Chiwa. The characters were well characterized through their actions and words. They really nailed the portrayal of the main character's diffuculty in interacting with people (I can relate to an extent), which I really liked. The soundtrack was really good, as expected from Nakagawa Kotarou. This'll probably have the best soundtrack this season. The only thing I didn't like so much was the character designs. I thought they were a bit too standard-looking and plain except for main character, but their seiyuus really make up for it so it's a minor thing.9/10Tamayura: More Aggressive
It's baaaaaack, and I was actually moved by this episode. They'll be busy with Potte's club, so I guess there will be less "random" stories this season. I like those episodes less in the 1st season, so that change is really welcome. Also, dat ED feels.9/10Uchouten Kazoku
It looks great. I really like the character designs and the art style. The ears can be distracting at times, but I think it helps the tanuki and tengu stuff to feel more "real" when I watch it. I like the atmosphere and the subtle characterizations. The direction was really good. I'm hooked.9/10Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!
That was very enjoyable. The jokes were funny. Like OreGairu , some of the things shown/discussed about people were exaggerated, but mostly true for a lot of poepl IMO. I find it entertaining when those things are said lol. I hope they can keep this up without feeling repetitive, and actually develop the girl slowly, and "believably".8/10Kiniro Mosaic
Honestly, I found this to be a bit boring. The jokes weren't really funny. They were really standard, even if well executed. The characters felt flat. Sure, they were cute and the designs were good, but they're lacking in the more important part. The soundtrack and animation was nice though. 5/10
