Plastic Memories had a good first episode but I’m not really sure where it is going to go from there. We’ll see.

TesaPuru what can I say… I haven’t laughed so hard in a while. My body isn’t used to it.

Denpa Kyoushi wasn’t quite as good as the start of the manga had led me to think. But there’s plenty of room for it to get better again still.

Weekly Anime Roundup – Spring 2015 Week 2

Well I did watch a lot of anime over the sort-of-weekend (Sunday/Monday), but the fact that I only watched anything on 3 days of the week means that my total isn’t particularly high. Oh well.

Ninja Slayer From Animation – Why do Trigger have to be so erratic. This is like Inferno Cop but worse in every possible way. And I didn’t like Inferno Cop.

Show By Rock looks like the weird anime of the season. And, like most weird anime, I’ll probably end up dropping it.

Kyoukai no Rinne had a start that was as meh as it was in the manga. Nagato Yuki-chan, however, I seem to remember enjoying rather more in its manga form. Disappointing.

I’m really liking all the new characters in KinMoza.

English and Japanese Light Novel Releases for Week Commencing 20th April 2015 (updated 27th April 2015)

Interesting that volume 2 of DanMachi is, at the time of writing (Saturday evening UK time), outselling both NGNL and SAO on Book Depository (I switched to using Book Depository for English releases due to the fact that the main amazon website is convinced that a light novel volume is just an alternative version of a volume of its manga adaptation…)

Weekly Anime Roundup – Spring 2015 Week 1

Another busy week and thus a relatively small one on the anime front. I’m gradually getting going on the new stuff, though, and think I’ll have an anime-fest this weekend, if I can.

Episodes watched this week:
Tesagure! Bukatsumono Spin-off Purupurun Sharumu to Asobou 1
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken 2 Sure-me 1
Takamiya Nasuno Desu!: Teekyuu Spin-off 1

Lupin III 2015
Nar Doma
Ninja Slayer From Animation
Pikaia

The rankings are very vague at present, and obviously there are a lot of series that are yet to be added to them. Although there are some things that I haven’t been able to find…

Ameiro Cocoa’s episodes are way too short and thus cover far too little. I don’t think I could cope with watching this every week so I’ve put it on hold so that I can watch it all once it is finished and treat it like a single episode. Which it will hopefully be almost long enough for.

I don’t really have much to say in these comments yet.

English and Japanese Light Novel Releases for Week Commencing 13th April 2015

For a week with so many releases and 3 of the 6 big light novel labels releasing during it, there really isn’t all that much of note – AmaBuri and DanMachi are the only ones that are likely to sell much. I’ll be interested to see how well this volume of DanMachi sells after the impressive boost the earlier volumes seem to be getting, though.

Purchases during March 2015

Everything ordered in February has arrived, as did OreTwi volume 3. PSYREN volume 11 was classed as lost in the post. I asked for a replacement but haven’t heard anything since. I’ll just ask for a refund if I don’t et anything over the next week or so.
Everything from this month except the preordered yuuki yuuna volume arrived as well, incidentally, although one order only came today.
