Fall 2013 Anime Watchlist: Initial Thoughts
Kyoukai no Kanata
EP 2: KyoAni's newest series. Nice to see the consistency with the KyoAni style. As for the story, it seems intriguing enough? I haven't dropped any KyoAni titles for a while so I think I'll be watching this one. XD It looks like it might get a little creepy. Maybe.

Nagi no Asukara
EP 2: I totally wasn't expecting the world set up the way it was with the underworld setting. SO COOL! I also love all the uses of blues. They're slightly on the overly cute-looking side (more so than Hana Saku Iroha and Tari Tari), but I'll probably get over that soon enough.

Golden Time
EP 2: This one is very slice of life, except for that girl who's a bit extreme. XD; But the OP and ED have so many hearts, it looks... very shoujo, though Yoshi said it's not supposed to be. LOL. I like that they're in the law department of university? XD
→ Keeping
Kuroko no Basket S2
EP 1: Lol, doesn't feel like there's been any gap from season 1. What is with that bad Engrish?? XD; But, the OP and ED don't feel as catchy as the ones from S1.
→ Keeping
Yowamushi Pedal
EP 1: This looks like it might be interesting. But they make it so mysterious right now how the main guy's cycling is, lol.
→ Keeping
Galilei Donna
EP 1: Cute with all the goldfish stuff. XD First ep feels like it needed a little more to set up what they'll be doing the rest of the series, but I like it so far. =)
→ Keeping
Log Horizon
EP 1: I'm sure many others will be like, "Oh, another with similar setting to SAO." I already that this will be more humorous than SAO, but I don't know what to expect. Yoshi said he read 5 volumes of the manga, and that Shiroe is more of a strategist than fighter, so... maybe there'll be some good plans?
→ Undecided
Kyousougiga
EP 0: I... there was so much color and so much going on that I just kind of watched with my mouth open and my mind shut off. But Yoshi said that the real story should start with the first ep, so I'll decide later about this one. XD;
→ Undecided
Kill La Kill
EP 2: Koyama and Sushio working on this one. Thus, action style is very reminiscent of Gurren Lagann. I'm not too sure about this one... but I'll watch it for now.
→ Undecided
Walkure Romanze
EP 1: So much CG in this one. I kept thinking that I should stop watching (as in drop it) throughout the ep, but ultimately watched to the end of the ep. Lol, didn't expect that it would be about Mio.
→ Undecided
Samurai Flamenco
EP 1: Not too sure what to expect with this one. XD; But for now it looks like it could be entertaining? For sure, I was empathizing with the cop guy the whole episode here, lol.
→ Undecided
Meganebu!
EP 1: Wow, the colors. And I can also see the art direction someone else was talking about, how it feels like This Boy Can Fight Aliens! and This Boy Caught a Merman. I don't think I could watch this for a whole season... my eyes would just be like this the whole time → O_O Maybe queue it later? But for now, I think I'll drop this.
→ Dropping/Queue Later?
Diabolik Lovers
EP 3: I gave this one a few eps since they were shorter, but... you really, really feel bad for the main girl. The first episode was horrific, despite the lack of blood. I almost liked the oldest brother. Almost.
→ Dropping
Noucome
EP 1: Sorry... dropping this one. I couldn't even get through the ep... OTL
→ Dropping
