Another week has passed, so its finally time to put out the other part of my summer impressions (albeit one week late). This one starts with Mayo Chiki! and continues onwards to Yuruyuri, so while I have watched Dantalian no Shoka, I won't be posting any first impressions of it (I only watched it yesterday, anyhow). This post is over three thousand words long (that's 3000), so really, use Control+F. Fun note is that a third of it is used on iDOLM@STER. So everyone should watch it. It's great. To enforce that feeling, all my screencaps will be iDOLM@STER-related. (Totally not fanboying.)

Summer First Impressions - Part 1
Sadly, a busy workschedule has meant that I'm pretty much unable to write full length posts on a daily basis. So instead, I'll opt for a weekly post that encompasses every show for that week! For now, comments on the first episodes of summer shows (that I haven't already written full-length posts about). Enjoy part one of two, done in alphabetical order. Control+F to find a show.

Nichijou - 14
I’ll admit that I wasn’t exactly thrilled with the last few episodes of Nichijou, but Kyoto Animation really showed me here. They pulled off a great episode.

Last Words: Deadman Wonderland
It’s quite unfortunate to have your entire class slaughtered by a mysterious, powerful villain, get framed for the crimes, become a hated public figure, and get sent to one of Japan’s worst prisons, where you’re forced to participate in fights to the death. It’s been a long (and sometimes arduous ride), but at last the first season is over.
Ro-Kyu-Bu! - 1
小学生がやってくる ヤア!ヤア!ヤア!
"The Elementary Schoolers are Coming, ya! Ya! Ya!
Basketball isn't exactly the most popular sport in Japan, so it's always nice to see an adaptation with it as a prominent feature. This time, we get it with Ro-Kyu-Bu! and in the form of some loli sixth graders.

Double-J - 1
The beginning of the summer season: Double J! And with the Yuruani slot, it’s a short, four minute bit.

Last Words: Hidan no Aria
Once upon a time, I believed that J.C. Staff was a quality animation studio. After all, they gave us Toradora (my favorite show to date) and some great series like Nodame Cantabile. It's starting to look as if those were simply the glory days, though.
humble beginnings
It's summertime, and that means I've got a lot of time on my hands. Hell, why not try blogging some? As for a little bit of background, I didn't really get into anime until around two years ago, when I watched The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for the first time. After that, everything sort of snowballed up to this point, when it's normal for me to spend hours of the day watching a show, despite still having to go to school. Most of my tastes can be discerned by just looking at my anime list, which is up to this point still pretty barren. Plus I'm new to blogging, so I can chalk this up as an experiment (and a way for me to not forget what I watch). But it'd be nice if I could share my opinions with others, right? Joining the fray: a novice blogger and a novice anime fan.
There isn't really much to say other than that. I'll post about episodes as I see fit, and it's almost a perfect time to start since the summer season is about to get underway. I'm really just doing this for fun, so I hope you get someting out of reading my random comments. I don't expect a large crowd (only one of over 156 million blogs, right?), but enjoy your stay and keep posted.
For now, 乾杯!
