The premise of these reviews is simple: watch the first episode of a series and then immediately sit down to record a review mini-podcast. The reviews are five- to ten-minutes long and entirely off the cuff. As always we only review new shows (so no sequels or continuations) and try to avoid anything that just looks outright awful. Here are our last 5 of the new season:
Listen – Episode 1 of Chousoku Henkei Gyrozetter from A-1 Pictures with the opening “Let’s Go” by Masahiko Kondo.
Listen – Episode 1 of Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic from A-1 Pictures with the opening “V.I.P” by SID and is streaming on Crunchyroll.
Listen – Episode 1 of PSYCHO-PASS from Production I.G with the opening “abnormalize” by Ling Tosite Sigure and is streaming on Funimation.
Listen – Episode 1 of Robotics;Notes from Production I.G with the opening “Junjo Spectra” by Zwei and is streaming on Funimation.
Listen – Episode 1 of Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de from 5th Avenue with the opening “retrospective world” by Hiro Shimono and Nobuhiko Okamoto and is streaming on Crunchyroll.
Aoi Sekai’s just…blergh. I would drop it, but I’m basically watching on premise alone…and it’s only three episodes apparently, as the next ep won’t air until new years I hear, and the last one sometime next year, I think in the Spring.
(P.S: nice touch on the Sonic X OP add xD)
I had no real intention of watching more. I have enough on my plate as it is. The idea is still pretty awesome. The execution is … less so.
I try to throw in little Easter eggs on occasion.
