I’m not sure how I feel about this season. I feel like I’m watching a lot of different anime, but none of them really get me excited to watch. There are a couple exceptions like Nekomonogatari (White) and Watamote which peak my interest but I’m not sure they will be “Must watch” material in the end. I think the problem might be the number of moe anime. So let’s jump right to it and start giving my first impressions of this Summer’s anime lineup. As usual I’ll color coat everything to be a worth picking up, on watch, and dropped.
Blood Lad • Danganronpa Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei • Fantasista Doll • Gatchaman Crowds • Gen’ei o Kakeru Taiyou • Gin no Saji • Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou • Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai 3 • Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi • Kimi no Iru Machi • Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist • Nekomonogatari (White) • Senyuu 2 • Servant x Service • Tamayura ~More Aggressive~ • Tokurei Sochi Dantai Stella Jo-Gakuin Koutou-ka C3-Bu • Uchouten Kazoku • Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui!
