Spring 2014 First Impression : Aye or Nay

An another update from us.
Well, it must be Christmas, isn't it? 
Ho ho ho, it's not Christmas but at least, there's plenty of anime to watch this Spring Season and that's as good as Christmas.

And we are really doing our best to keep our New Year Resolutions to keep on updating and having new contents.

And so, we came up with something new which is FIRST IMPRESSIONS. 
We will be doing our best to post our first impressions of any new series in the latest season and to say our two cents worth.

This is our First Impression for the Spring 2014 Anime Season. (No ranking in particular)



BLACK BULLET 

This was the series that we were most excited about. Two episodes in and it hasn't disappoint us. In fact, we are anything but disappointed because it truly is very exciting. Yes, it does smell a bit like Shingeki no kyojin.
Wall.
Humanity at the brink of extinction.
Humanity trying to fight back.

Yes, very Shingeki no Kyojin like. Even the voice actor for the main character was the voice for the main character in Shingeki no Kyojin.

However, as much as it is really alike with Shingeki no Kyojin, there are some difference because of the cursed children and the masked man.
This series has a lot of potential and we really look forward to it.

So for now, it's an AYE.

SOUL EATER NOT!

In the first episode, this series showed promise that it would be a fun, light and perhaps even wondrous watch.

And in the second episode, it suddenly became a bland series. One of those slice of life, everyday life sort of story where it is a little boring.

A tsundere princess, an ordinary clueless girl and a really forgetful girl. How ordinary and boring.

The second episode really blew it for us. And so, this series is a NAY.

MEKAKU CITY ACTORS


After finding out that that Mekaku City Actors is the anime version of the Kagerou Project, we really excited for this series. Because of that, we had high expectations. The first episode was, well, interesting but it was expected because it's Kagerou Project. We wouldn't say the first episode was great but there were good moments and some moments hit the nail exactly.

And because of that, we still have high expectations of the series. It also doesn't help that the voice actors sound great. 

PS, they have some great voice actors in the cast such as Mamoru Miyano and anything with Mamoru Miyano is good.

So far, it is an AYE from us.

 NO GAME, NO LIFE.

Two episodes in and the series has really gotten very interesting. It seems very promising and it's absolutely hilarious.

The first episode was just alright. It introduced the series and it was interesting but nothing that shouts and makes you want to really invest yourself in the series.

But the second episode, that really changed things. It gave time to show off the two main characters and we got to see what they are made of for now. Because of that, the series was simply hilarious and interesting.
With that, this series is now an AYE from us too. 

ISSHUUKAN FRIENDS.

There is something sweet, soft and adorable about series. It gives out this fluffy feel good feelings. 
It's one of those high school slice of life where it's really nice to watch. 

It's one of those series where you get to relax as you watch it (for now, anyways. Who knows, maybe it gets darker.)

So, so far this series has been good and that's why it's an AYE

CAPTAIN EARTH

As usual, the terms used in any mecha anime is that it's really complicated and it doesn't make sense. But that is how mecha anime are like.

Two episodes in, so far, we like the big set up feel that this series has. It seems to be setting itself up for something huge or even epic. It reminds us alot of Gundam 00 (which we enjoyed)

Even though it's the usual high school boy who is filled with determination that pilots the mecha, there is something nice and redeeming about his character that it makes you not find him too annoying.

Like any mecha series, it's a little confusing and some things don't quite make sense but overall, it seems to be very, very promising. 

We truly look forward to this and so, this is an AYE from us too.



We wish we could watch more anime from this season but life is such that time is constraint.
We wish we could spend all our time on anime but we can't.
There is a lot of loli in this season but other than that, it's alright.
This looks like one very good and promising season.

And thank you for reading.
