Quick impressions of the new season's anime....(I think the only positive thing about the season is the interesting titles)



Mekakucity Actors 1! is about a NEET who has an annoying virtual female pc companion. One day, he accidentally spills soda on his computer which forces him to go out and get a new one. The store he goes into is being robbed by...the Joker's gang...and through some random people with special powers and his virtual pc, I guess he survives. While not the most intriguing story, SHAFT's production is distinct and clean and has some pretty screencap-worth moments. Dropping due to lack of interest in another NEET-not-being-a-NEET-anymore-story.



Ateliar Escha & Logy 1! is about a couple alchemists belonging to the R&D division. Logy comes from the city/Central area who joins Escha in her hometown. In episode 1 they are assigned to small tasks in the town. This is based on some sort of RPG and the bgm is very remniscent of that type of music. The characters are attractive, but the production is mediocre. The characters are pretty bland, too. It has a nice world that could have decent story potential, but it lost me after the boring episode.



Brynhildr in the Darkness 1! is about a young boy who loses his childhood friend and then finds that years later, a new transfer student looks exactly like her. She ends up revealing special powers to him when she saves his life. Zzzz...



Captain Earth 1! is about a young boy who is good at video games and who wanders into a mysterious place, becomes a 'captain', gets a mech and saves Earth from some invading mechs. The production is pretty good, but it's as generic as it sounds.
