Summary: Shirayuki is a beautiful girl working as a medicine woman with red hair, a color that is considered very rare. When she is proposed and chased after by the prince of her country, she cuts her hair and runs away, only to meet Zen, the prince of a neighboring country. Finding respect for the young man, she decides to serve at his side as his court doctor.
My First Impressions: Really like the characters in this show. While not as epic, it puts me somewhat in mind of Akatsuki no Yona, not so much because they both have red hair, but because this show is very character driven and it has the same feel as the light-hearted parts of Yona. This is the one show this season that I will definitely stick with, and where I eagerly await for the next episode.
Other Comments: <Gommy> well, 3 minutes into Akagami no Shirayuki-hime and I can tell I will watch it all so that's something

Summary: In the year 3015, the great nations Donatia and Kouran divide the world in a cold war as they fight for supremacy. Amidst this standoff is the island country Nil Kamui, which has lost its independence. Red Dragon, the guardian god of Nil Kamui, goes out of control. Will the island country manage to regain its independence?
My First Impressions: Still seems typical fantasy, lost-heir to the throne, need to get rid of foreign invaders kind of show. The dragon animation is pretty poor, my goodness. Unlike the other shows, it's some of the characters that keeps me interested in this so far. They definitely all have their own motives and they've just introduced a new character so I'll keep watching for now.

And then, a girl named Nao Tomori suddenly appears before him. Their encounter reveals the destiny for wielders of special abilities.
My First Impressions: Watched ep1 but found it rather boring. While the characters were somewhat different, they also got on my nerves. The plot also moves rather slowly. <not watching unless recommended>

My First Impressions: The first ep just had nothing to want me to continue watching. It had rather stereotypical characters, with a silly plot if you can even call it that. <not continuing unless recommended>

Summary: A gate appears in Tokyo's Ginza district sometime in the 21st century. From the gate pours out monsters, knights from middle-age Europe, and other fantasy-like beings, and they kill many of the citizens of Tokyo. This event is known as the Ginza Incident. The government sends a small group of soldiers from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to the alternate world beyond the gate. Led by otaku soldier Yōji, they find that the villages in the world are being attacked by a dragon. An elf girl who is a survivor from the dragon's rampage joins the group in their travels across the dangerous new world.
My First Impressions: I'm still not sure where this show is going. It moves fairly slow and so far hasn't given me anything to really grasp on even after 4 eps. I hope that it moves just a tad faster in the next couple eps. I feel like I'm continuing mostly based on the fact that it comes recommended. If it doesn't improve, I'll probably drop it.

My First Impressions: So I tried watching ep1 and couldn't get through the whole thing. It seemed rather typical slice of life even if the concept was a bit different. <not watching unless recommended>

When a hapless human teenager named Kurusu Kimihito is inducted as a "volunteer" into the government exchange program, his world is turned upside down. A snake-like lamia named Miia comes to live with him, and it is Kurusu's job to take care of her and make sure she integrates into his everyday life.

Summary: The story takes place at a certain middle school where several murder cases take place. Kobayashi, a boy who goes to this school, meets genius detective Akechi, who comes to the school to investigate. Kobayashi takes an interest in Akechi and, in spite of his friend Hashiba's worries, he volunteers to be Akechi's assistant.
My First Impressions: This is still ridiculously weird, and while one or two of the characters annoy me slightly, overall, still an interesting show. Unfortunately, it relies too heavily on the "messed up" pieces to keep people watching. I'd like them to do something with the characters.

Summary: When the Majin awoke from the depths of darkness, the deity of fate chose six heroes and bequeathed them with the power to save the world. Adlet, a boy who proclaims himself the strongest on Earth, was selected among the Rokka no Yūsha (Braves of the Six Flowers), and he goes to the rendezvous point — but seven have gathered there. The heroes suspect that someone among the seven is the enemy, and the initial suspicion falls on Adlet.
My First Impressions: This thing is okay. kind of standard fantasy, but after 4 eps, it hasn't fully covered the summary, so it's moving really slow. If it doesn't speed up at least a little, this is going to get so boring that I drop it.
