Binbou Shimai Monogatari ep 01 raw
Story: "A junior high school student Yamada Kyo and an elementary school student Yamada Asu are sisters, and live alone. Their father ran away leaving gambling debt, and the mother has already died. In spite of this unhappiness, they don’t gloom but they are living brightly and happily. Kyo works as a paperboy or tutor to support the family. Asu do housekeeping jobs. There are kind people around them, such as the landlord or a novelist Saegusa, and they watch over the sisters gently. They experience a lot of troubles and hard times, but the happiest thing for them is that they are nearby." [edited from animenfo]
Genre: Heartwarming story.
Review: Ugh, the OP song sucked. ^^; Then, that title page had ugly colors. Low budget anime? The ED music is better but seems copied from the OMG OVA song.
The "we are poor but we are happy" got rubbed in too much for my taste, I started to dislike the characters. Besides, it felt fake.
There was already a thread for this: http://4-ch.net/anime/kareha.pl/1150461963/
Otogi-Jushi Akazukin TV ep 01 raw
Once upon a time, the gods sealed the door between the real world and the magic world.
Souta is a normal primary school boy, except that he's the key to break the seal between the worlds.
The witch Cendrillon wants to obtain Souta's power. To prevent her from getting the power, Akazukin and Val, a silver wolf, comes from the other world to help him.
Toy-sponsored kids fighting anime.
High production values, well animated. I wonder if the toy sprouts out a sword when you insert a card in it like in the anime? ^^
Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z 01 (TV) raw
Professor Utonium has a son Ken who is a genius, but bumbles one experiment - giving three random girls superpowers. The girls (13 years of age each) are Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru. Together, they fight the evils of Mojo JoJo, also the result of the same botched-up experiment.
Magical girls anime.
Not sure who's the target for this one. The very dumbed-down plot and directing makes me think it aimed at kindergartners, but the ED makes me think it's aimed at teenage girls.
Production values fluctuates from medium to high (especially the transformations). My opinion of it also fluctuates: the animation is superior to the original, the overall soundtrack is inferior, the OP song is weak, the ED song is okay, the jokes are kindergarden-level... Meh.
Tsuyokiss CoolxSweet 01 raw
Energetic girl arrives at new school, wants to join the theater club... there isn't any. She tries to get it approved from the eccentric president but it's not easy.
Love comedy anime.
Entertaining. For an h-game adaption, this first episode fared pretty well and looked quite solid. The erotic eyecatches shovelled every few minutes were unnecessary, I thought. Completely out-of-character for the semi-serious scenes at hand. ^^;
Mamotte! Lollipop 01 raw
When Nina happened to swallow a pearl intended for a magical examination, her chaotic journey with the two magical pretty boys Zero and Ichii began.
Slapstick shoujo series.
Frantic female flees from ferocious foes, fun follows.
Zero no tsukaima 01 raw
Louise, the apprentice witch, is apparently so bad with magic that she got nicknamed "Louise the Zero". When summoning her familiar spirit (tsukaima) as part of school practice, she calls in a school student from Earth instead. The boy, Hiraga Saito, tries to escape but finds himself trapped in a strange world with no way out.
Harry Potter anime with Hermione as the star.
Red-hot Shana is back! Good fun.
Le Chevalier D'Eon 01 raw
18th Century, just before the French revolution, multiple religious cults of the dark side are engaged in secret
maneuvers under the name of Revolution. Le Chevalier D'Eon, a special agent working for Louis XIV, is fighting against those cults, and also on a mission to find the killer of his own sister. A mysterious cult organization called "Rose Cross" stands in his way, using evil powers to create a dark creature, "Gargoyle", to over take Europe...
Realistic anime with supernatural elements.
'Looks well done, but I'm not a big fan of serious vampire stories. I may check the next episode to see how the story evolves.
Project BLUE Earth SOS 01 raw
Mysterious events are happening around the globe, brand-new technologies are being swallowed by rainbow clouds. Two genius boys are investigating the phenomena.
Retro sci-fi meets future sci-fi.
Cool stuff. It's Metropolis, The Invaders and James Bond all in one.
> the ED song is okay
PPGZ's song actually gets better if you understand it, which is rare. I don't know who the target audience is either... why would girls wake up before 7 am to watch a clock show in the summer? I guess Japan does have attendance days.
You forgot the British stuff they got that guy's dog from.
Coyote Ragtime Show 01:
Rather transparent attempt to attract Americans. Uses realistic names, has black people, English signs, etc.
The animation and music are much cheaper than Cowboy Bebop.
All the exciting characters were introduced at the very end, hurting the rest of this episode. Also, they think Americans love mindless violent deaths of innocents and made sure to insert plenty of them, but that might not happen later.
Someone do Honey and Clover 2!
Bokura ga Ita 01 raw
Naive young girl meets compulsive lying pretty boy in her new class, falls in love.
Shoujo love story
Is the VA anemic? Her voice is very weak. May be intended tho, the anime's colors are weak/washed out too, the action scenes are weak, the love is weak... I'm surprised I didn't fall asleep, must be the directing: every time I was to slip into a coma, the action picked up a little. Down, down, down, down, down, down, zzz... up.
> Down, down, down, down, down, down
Finally, an anime adaptation of The Mole People!
http://www.designchronicle.com/memento/archives/hachikuro2_ep1.html

I agree. Badly done animation and the colors are not to my liking. But the story is okay for me. Probably I'll watch some more episodes. But I'd say that I was tricked by the very nice illustration on the official website.
Muteki Kanban Musume 01 raw
Miki is a girl working in a small restaurant, and she helps her mother to run it. She's supposed to be the Kamban Musume (poster girl) of the restaurant. However, she likes to fight and always makes troubles.
Gag anime.
Well-animated but tiring after a while, what's the point? In this episode she fights various people, including the rich girl from the intro. The preview shows she's gonna fight various guys from the neighborhood. And then what?
Naikaku Kenryoku Hanzai Kyosei Torishimarikan Zaizen Jotaro 01 raw
Kenryoku Hanzai Kyosei Torishimarikan - Crime Investigation Agent = C.I.A., get it? ^^;
Zaizen Jotaro is an investigator who's allowed to use extralegal methods to crack down power-abusing criminals, no matter how high-ranked.
James Bond anime for kids.
Cheap, cheap, cheap... reuse of CG animation within the first few minutes, minimal animation, no real animation in the OP and ED, looooong pauses between dialogs, horribly cliched plot... I'll pass.
You forgot to mention his catchphrase is "da bomb".
Coyote Ragtime Show 01 raw
Bad guy in high security prison plans to escape. Female Rambo-like agent is there to prevent it, but things go bloody wrong when a third faction moves in...
Stallone anime with a female lead.
High production values. Very flashy, maybe too flashy; the Over-The-Top-ness (ha!) makes it unbelievable -- I went "wtf!" too many times. The thing that bugged me most: the shuttle is in zero-G, but liquid food flows down into a plate.
I'd need to see this subbed to be sure, but I have the feeling they were inconsistencies in the dialogs/plot as well.
Tonagura! - 01 raw
A childhood friend, Yuji, is coming back after a 10-year absence and Kazuki is eager to meet him again, hoping that he's become a handsome prince. But she finds out he’s become a complete pervert instead.
Ecchi love story.
D'oh, the intro is somewhat copied from the Haruhi's OP; not very orginal -- and not fitting.
Pros: art/animation is decent, funny music is funny, the lesbian girl friend at school looks like an interesting character.
Cons: I find the two main characters unlikable, dialogs are trite, fanservice is kind of so-so, humor didn't humor me.
I wonder what kind of classification applies to the boy? He's two-faced, alternating seriousness/sweet talk that makes girls mellow, and lecherous rampage.
Angelique TV / Koi Suru Tenshi ANGELIQUE -Kokoro no Mezameru Toki- 01 RAW
In the Cosmos of the Sacred Beast, the queen Angelique is forewarned of a great upcoming peril. She asks her nine Guardians to call in all young girls in the kingdom in order to find the Legendary Etoile who is to save the World from the impending doom. Clumsy, bespectacled 17-year-old Ange is amongst the ones called in, but she thinks there must have been some mistake.
Shoujo 1-girl+9-male fantasy anime.
Ugly duckling is chosen to save the Universe.
The rite of initiation was nicely emotionally moving, the rest was standard shoujo fare.
Chokotto Sister 01 raw
Lone boy gets a sister as present from Santa on Xmas.
Sweet romantic comedy.
Whee, another Haruhi-inspired intro. But this time, the transition works much better.
I was a bit surprised, the anime has a somewhat different feel, more "harsh" than the manga. It's the first episode tho, so we'll see how it evolves (or devolves).
Hoshizora Kiseki
"Kozue, a member of an astronomical club, is a girl who longs for a starry sky. During the summer break, she set out a journey with a shining fragment of a meteor, feeling someone calling her, believing that a star will answer to her. During her trip, she meets a boy with sad eyes in a space suit."
Romance mixed with scifi.
A school project? Very unequal performance. Some important scenes were not done, facial expressions were lacking sometimes, much skipping around, I had a hard time decoding what was going on, not to mention paining at sympathizing with the characters. The girl's school uniform is ugly in the back (the front is not that hot either), but the camera insisted to show it anyway. The VAs were not very convincing, I ended turning the sound off to catch some of the story's magic and scenery.
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed C.E.73: Stargazer 01
"Earth is reeling from the devastation caused by the Junius Seven colony drop. ZAFT remnants loyal to the ideals of Patrick Zala take this opportunity to cause further chaos."
Warring mecha scifi.
Production values seemed high. Plot: a shuttle has to take off, debris are falling down from the sky, terrorists destroy things.
I felt like watching a newsreel, minus the feeling that things are real. Watchable and forgettable.

I wondered if I was the only one to notice the liquid on the plane thing.
FLAG 01 raw
"In 20xx, a civil war broke out in a small country. But, a picture of a flag taken in the battle field helps to accelerate the peace talks. Just before the peace agreement is signed, the flag is robbed by an extremist group. UN decides to send a SDC (Special Development Command), and a cameraman to record their activities. They think the mission is going to be easy because they have the latest, hi-tech armored suit."
Artsy anime; war from the point of view of a photographer.
The guy doing the voice-overs sounded bored, made me bored too. The over-contrasted, over-exposed, wrong-hued scenery, the laid-back "war" atmosphere, the old Japanese slow music didn't help to make me un-bored. The mecha seemed to be possibly interesting but we didn't get to see it in action.
I suppose this anime will appeal to photographers, and maybe to mecha fans; I doubt I'll watch more episodes.
Honey & Clover II 01
Even though it was a recap clip show, because the first season was so good the episode only brought back all the pleasant memories of it. I was nearly bawling by the last bit of the ED.
Solar-IDE are also doing a 720p HD release. Unfortunately my PC doesn't seem up to the task. Has anyone tried them?
Honey & Clover II 02
A medley of hiccup cures, Takemoto is stronger than Morita, and late night katsudon. Suddenly Rika's a whole lot cuter! （*´∀｀)=3
Innocent Venus ep 01 raw
In the year 2010., Hyper Hurricanes all over the world caused severe damage, decreasing the world's population dramatically. Existing economies and militaries were wiped out, and geography got rewritten.
Living conditions are currently dreadful except for the very rich, which rules over the poor using ruthless military power.
Our heroes, Katsuragi Jo and Tsurasawa Hitoshi, barely escape from killer soldiers, taking with them a mysterious young girl, Noto Saya.
Post-apocalyptic world with mechas.
I was not overly impressed with this first episode.It's not bad, but it's not great either. The heroes' lines sounded way too cliche, for one thing.
I suppose it may appeal to mecha fans, and to those who like to see things/humans blow up in a realistic way.
Hoshizora Kiseki
This is the kind of story that someone like Makoto Shinkai could make a wonderful movie out of.
Unfortunately, none of the people working on it were anywhere near that skillful storytellers. It's a heavyhanded and awkward mess that just doesn't work.
Honey & Clover II eps 1-4
It's back! And it's as wonderful as ever. I don't know why I would ever want to watch anything else. They even have a new OP by the same singer, which is possibly even better than the first one, which I loved.
The new OP animation made me go "this is stupid", until I realized it was just too damn weird to be stupid. It's not as in-your-face weird as the first OP animation - it's more subtle this time.
Bokura ga ita ep 1
A very promising start to a shoujo romantic comedy show. The plot is nowhere near original, but the gentle style, the funny back-and-forth dialogue, and the wittiness all add up to something very enjoyable. It's also giving a bit of an Love Roma-esque urge to quote one-liners out of context.
Feels a bit like a H&C lite, and I like that.
Honey & Clover II eps 3-4
It drifts so easily to and fro between comedy, romance, and drama without skipping a beat that it's like watching a dance. I almost find it hard to believe such a work can exist. In a way it's even better than the first season.
The ED theme is also by the same band who did the first season ED.
NIGHT_HEAD_GENESIS_01 subbed
"Two brothers, Kihiraha Naoto and Kirihara Naoya, have supernatural powers. Because of it, they were abandoned by their parents, and have been raised in a laboratory isolated from society. When they run away from the laboratory and get into the normal world, a revolution is about to occur."
Shoujo(?) horror scifi, 2 tormented bishies/1 lonely girl.
This has a feel of old anime, with the eerie music, the focus on superpowered detructive loners, the crappy "scientific" explanations from the sixties ("we only use 70% of our brain") and the subdued colors. Nothing I haven't seen before so far.
I see one solitary girl in the OP, and the two pretty boys in the ED, which makes me think it's gonna be a female harem fantasy. A Jyu-Oh-Sei wannabe?
On the plus side, the background scenery is pretty.
Your review is hereby signed.
Bokura ga ita ep 2
Holy shit, an anime where schoolgirls actually are allowed to say stuff like "shine!"? The main character, even? That's rare.
Innocent Venus ep 02 raw
I still cannot go into this series. There are action scenes, a plot, decent animation, even pirates now -- so why am I so bored with it? Yes the story is cliche and the super-commando is a bit too super, but that never stopped the entertainment industry to be entertaining anyway.
I think it has to do with the sub-par performance of the VAs. Especially the girl, she's the worst one of the bunch, way too flat.
FLAG 02-03 raw
Ok, they toned down the contrast into a tolerable range.
But that "camera vision" is still there, and it gets real annoying real fast.
The mecha has been seen in action, but it's not very exciting. First, because it's viewed from a distance. Then, the scene is green and blurry from the night vision. And it seems that the meacha's weaponry is a mere machinegun. It reminds me of that scene where a helicopter in Iraq was machinegunning a guy trying to go into a car, except that it wasn't green on TV.
Also, a mecha with feet deployed in the desert's sand? Bad move.
Anyway, still boring.
KemonoZume 01 raw
On one side, there are the people who turns into Shokujinki, or man-eaters. On the other side, there are the people who fight the Shokujinki, the Kifuken. Both have fought each other in the shadows for more than 1000 years, without anybody noticing.
Our protagonist, Momota Toshihiko, is a young instructor of Kifuken. One day, Toshihiko has a encounter on the beach with the beautiful Yuka, a skydiving instructor.
Fnatastic(=outlandish) romance, with swords slashing.
Done scribble-style, supposedly compensated by superior animation, I guess. I still fail to see Yuka as beautiful as Momota thinks she is, tho. I would even daresay she's not pretty. ^^;;
But okay, I get the idea. It's not an anime about pretty things (I noticed how they carefully avoided to show the maid taking her shower), it's about drama, conflict, love, and death.
Lot of animated stuff in this first episode, I wonder if they will continue like this in the next episodes?
>>38
Sounds like the Gasaraki mecha.
HANOKA ep 01 raw
"This anime is the first full-fledged TV anime made with FLASH.
The story takes place on a planet Tokinea where human beings and Star Races have been fighting. The story revolves around a girl who was made as “Demon God”, an ultimate weapon against human beings, and a boy who is a partner of the girl." [animenfo]
Short episodes of sci-fi.
Lol, Morinono (www.morinono.net/). I remember being fascinated by his flash animations a few years back. So he made it to the tv screen, that's good. But, if it's on tv, my expectations are greater. Lots of the old imperfections are still there, for example his obsession to make everything move all the time. That old guy in the room, his head moving down was really unnecessary, it looks unnatural. A still shot would have been better. And that cigarette smoke, why to do in flash? It looks bad. I see that various effects were not done in flash -- was it post-processed by someone else? I wish that a pro would give some animation tips to Morinono, the guy has a great imagination and makes wonderful worlds.
For example, when the flying car is moving away in the distance, it suddenly vanishes -- it's jarring, and could have been fixed by adding just a few more sprites. Right now the whole thing feels too amateurish and unfinished.
Tripcodes are for fags. _|-|O

The Wings of Rean ep 02 raw
Summary of the beginning of ep1:
"Because he fired a rocket into a military camp, Aesop Suzuki was being chased. Suddenly, a strange-looking battleship came out from the sea. Dumped into the sea, he managed to crawl up into the battleship, and there was a girl standing there. She said that she was the princess of another world, Byston Wel, and was asking for his urgent help."
Fantasy with mecha.
I haven't seen ep1 but from what I saw from blogs, ep1 is as confusing as ep2. It seems that there are two factions that want dominance in a foreign world. The boy is probably the key to the problem but no one is taking him seriously except the girl.
The cell phone in a fairies world is an interesting addition to a rehashed, same-old story -- tho I have to wonder how it can work at all without relay antennas. ^^;
Honey and Clover II, eps 5-7
More development of the Mayama/Yamada/Nomiya thing. It looks like she's starting to get over it. We get a better look into Hagu's problems with her art. More development on Morita and his brother. They form an interesting parallel to their father and his friend. The direction, art, and music fail to dissappoint.
The ending of ep seven... I feel like I just got punched in the gut.
Sky_Girls 01 raw
Aliens attacked Earth. Earth used ultimate weapon to wipe aliens. Earth now mostly under water.
Years later, signs of alien presence are detected again. Special ship with special new weapons goes at sea to investigate. The special new weapons are called Sakurano Otoha, Sonomiya Kren and Ichijo Eika, aka the Sky Girls.
Sci-fi mecha with barely-legal robots.
Top-notch animation, top-notch voice actors, plot... ultra-simplistic.
Killer robots that put sunscreen oil, drink orange juice and behave like giddy schoolgirls? Earth can rest assured, the alien menace will be defeated... or not.
Oh well, it's cute. ^^
Honey and Clover, ep 8
The beating continues. I think I stretched the muscles in my eyes!
Kanon Prelude
Gah, what the hell is Kyon doing in here? This is seriously distracting. What the hell were Kyoani thinking?
Honey And Clover, ep 8
...made me weep. (;_;)
Now it's got me really hooked, because I have absolutely no idea how things will end up (if we do get an end this season, that is).
Sky Girls
Really bad. Stunningly bad. I am a fan of every individual element in this thing (cute girls, technobabble, giant dinosaurs, robot planes) but everything put together was SO BAD. This is approximately M.D. Geist levels of NOT BEING ANY GOOD AT ALL. Time to kill myself.
I just noticed it's from the director of Love Hina Again and the scriptwriter of all this shit:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=11621
oh wow. invoking the name of MD Geist is one thing, but then THAT SCREENWRITER'S CREDITS. I have to see this shit.
>>54
To his credit, Elfen Lied wasn't that bad. :p
>>54
I guess I'll just wait for Strike Witches. Weren't the action scenes at least nice to look at?
>>52 - Kanon Prelude
whats so wrong with it? I like the Chara Designs, and the rest basically seems to be the same as the old one. They said they wont change the story or smth like that..
Just one think i noticed is that Mai's hair is too bright :|
I just said - the voice actor for the male lead is the same voice actor as for Kyon. So we have two series by the same studio in a row with the same lead voice actor. Distracting like hell.
Black Blood Brothers 01 raw:
In a world filled with vampires warring with humans, a lone, katana-wielding, red-jacketed ubervampire is trying to bring about peace.
Vampire story.
Lots of explosions and vampires turning to dust...
Vampires seem to be portrayed in a semi-favorable light. The superhero has an annoyingly cute blonde brother as sidekick. We get to see a poignant scene where a vampire saves the life of a little girl. Then again, later on when the little girl bares her fangs to say: "Mom, I'm hungry", I get to think that maybe it wasn't a good idea to save her after all.
'Looks well done, but I'm no fan of vampires stories, and this one doesn't seem like it's gonna make me change my mind.
Sky_Girls_OVA subbed:
Ah, I got it wrong in >>50. The girls are real girls, it's the flying exoskeletons that are mechanical.

La Corda D'Oro ～Primo Passo～ Opus 01 raw
"The high school is separated into ordinary and music classes. Kahoko, who is in the ordinary classes, is nominated to enter into a music contest after meeting Lily, the music fairy, who gives her a magic violin. Thus her step into the music world begins as she meets the other contestants."
Shoujo anime.
Bishounen(pretty boys), rivalries, music and magic.
Nice chara designs, nice animation, nice scenery, nice subject(music), directing for ep1 was nicely entertaining.
The magic bit is a bit jarring in an otherwise realistic story, I thought. Actually, it's not that realistic... all the girls are bishoujo(pretty girls) and all the guys are bishounen!
Oh, and that long-haired guy needs a haircut, badly.
Gaｌaxy Angel II 01 raw
"In the distant future, there is a city named Transvaar on Planet Celdar of the NEUE galaxy. It is a city founded under the affiliation with Planet Transvaar of another galaxy, EDEN. There, Transvaar Army organizes a special squad of five girls, Rune Angel. They are elite pilots, and are supposed to drive the latest fighter to play an important role in the vast universe… However, they are hard to deal with. They always go their own way, and make troubles." [from animenfo]
Goofy kiddie anime
"Galaxy Angels For Dummy Babies" comes to mind.
Intro song is uncatchy and out of whack with the video.
Censorship "DO NOT CROSS" police line old joke is old.
Several chara voices don't fit/sound unnatural.
The new background soundtrack left me unimpressed.
The plot(?) sounded lame. I found the episode so bad that I stopped watching before the end.
Broccoli have a tradition of not understanding what it is that makes their shows popular, and then doing spinoffs that are totally idiotic, like Panyo Panyo DiGi Charat.
Tokimeki Memorial - Only Love - 01 raw
Wimpy guy transfers to new school. But school is full of excentric people, from the nutso teachers to even the chicken. Some people have to wear animal ears - I didn't get why, but apparently it can be used to bully people. Our "hero" gets cat's ears put on him and is tagged as target, and everybody is running after him.
Love simulation turned anime, new re-re-remake.
Lol, "Tono" (Ouran's My Lord) is the voice of the wimp.
Well, I say wimp, but he manages in this first episode to score major love points with all three girls: the classy girl, the energetic girl, and the shy girl, all while running like a headless chicken across the school. Not bad, I guess.
early digi charat is pretty smart and cynical for what it is. then they changed the staff and did a million stupid spinoffs. galaxy angel tv was kind of in the same vein... then they switched staff for this new show. i can't imagine it would have turned out well.
D.Gray-man 01 raw
"The story takes place in a world that looks like the 19th century Europe. The Earl of Millennium plots to massacre all humans with AKUMAs, which are weapons made from machines, spirits, and tragedies. On the other hand, there are people who can stand up to the Earl."
Mild horror anime interspersed with mild comedy.
The first episode wasn't badly done, but failed to interest me.
Main characters lack substance, music tries to be scary but is just obnoxious, continuous black fog is more annoying than a bad Doom level.
There is a babe in the intro and the preview who seems to have some spunk, hopefully she'll put some spice in this insipid soup.
Love Dol ~Lovely Idol ~ 01 raw
Bunch of singer idols make their debut concert, but are rejected by the jury. Manager looks for a lead singer, just like that finds one in the street but she's not interested.
Singing anime with 18 female singer idols and 1 guy/manager.
Princess Soft game adaptation, it seems.
Minimal animation, all the girls have the same face's shape, no effort to do some lighting -- it's all bright, manager looks like he's 16-17, and has a blonde(?) sister. Dialogs are trite.
The girls' singing suck, but hey that's part of the plot. ^^;
I guess this anime may only appeal to very young girls... unless they plan to make him bang the 18 girls? ^v^
