This is the list of my ratings to new shows based on every
first episode. Most of proper nouns in this list are my
guess instead of official ones.
Ratings may vary episode by episode.
The number isn't the rank but only a sequence for
convenience. Sorted by stars.
Indication:
[for k:kids, s:shoujo, g:grown-ups]
(studio/production)
*:fair, **:enjoyable, ***:must see
a:good animation/artwork, d:good drama/story,
h:humorous/hilarious, m:good music, v:violent,
w:heartwarming, +:outstanding (e.g. a+ means
outstanding animation/artwork)
1) Little Witch Academia (Trigger): ***, adhm
In the childhood Akko was so enchanted by the magic show of
the brightest witch Shinny Shario as she enters Witch Academia
years later even though she is not from a witch family. On
the day of the entrance ceremony, she falls from flying broom
and is attacked by a monster bird in a forest, but she finds
Shario's magic stick by fortune.
2) Onihei [g](Toms Ent.): ***, ad+v
Onihei, the head of robbery investigation office, captures and
tortures a suspect Tamehachi, but he never makes a confession.
Instead, Tamehachi tries to clear his leader's suspicion whom
he respects whole-heartedly and guides Onihei to the next target.
3) ACCA 13-ku Kansatsuka (MAD House): **, adm
ACCA is a security organization that covers all 13 dominions of
a kingdom which is ruled by a king of 99 years old. While the
inspection section of ACCA is to be dissolved, the sub-leader
Totas inspects Farmas branch and exposes an illegal act of
the officers. Then the section is servived. But five directors
come to keep eyes on him. I like the ED song.
4) Chain Chronicle (Telecom + Graphinica): *, ad
When a sacred book "Chain Chronicle" is ripped in halves by
evil Black King and his good daughter princess Fiena's hands,
guardian fairy Pirika disappeares and the world is covered by
darkness. The leader of a voluntary army, Yuri, fights in the
princess's side but the king defeats him. In a village they
escaped to, he gets a good fighter Alam as a new member.
5) Fuuka (Diomedéa): *, ah
In a town, as Yuri is walking and watching his smartphone, Fuuka
falls to him. She stands up and breaks the phone because she
thinks he took her panty shot. Yuri is just transferred to a
high school and he finds Fuuka in his class.
6) Ajin-chan wa kataritai (A-1 Pictures) *, h
Takahashi who is a biology teacher studied "demi", half-human,
in the college. But he has never met any demi at the time. In the
high school though, he finds a dullahan, a vampire and a yuki-onna

Although the society has officially abolished the discrimination
for half-human, the prejudice still remains in people's mind.
7) Kobayashisan-chi no Maidragon (Kyoto Animation): *, h
In a morning, Kobayashi opens door to go out for work and finds
a big dragon Tour transforms into a maid. Tour says that Kobayashi
asked her if she comes to her apartment last night, and so did she
today. Kobayashi doesn't remember clearly what she did but Tour
becomes her maid at last.
8) Minamikamakura Joshikokou Jitenshabu (J.C Staff + ACGT): *, h
Hiromi is transferred to a high school in Kamakura. She tries to
ride her bike to school, but she can't ride well. She meets a
fresher Tomoe on the way to the school. Tomoe coaches her to
ride a bike and they become friends.
9) Masamune-kun no Revenge (Silver Link.): h
Masamune plans to revenge on Aki for a heartbreak she gave him
in their childhood. In the high school, he is popular among girls

fifth dimension. They are called Striker and have a mission to
ward off monsters that constantly invade from the dimension.

Tania is a little girl but she is a strong witch and a platoon
leader who defeats enemies and saves comrades in a battle field.
She is so merciless and destroys an enemy platoon completely.

Evil-powered gangs Bagurimono prowl around Akihabara. While
Tamotsu and his sister go to the town for shopping, the gangs

I would strongly recommend you see at least the second episode before
giving up on this one. It went from average (based on the first
episode) to clear best of the season so far (after 4 episodes) in my
opinion.

I watched the second episode and understood why Tania is so
merciless and cynical. She remembers her past existence and
that explains everything. I don't like such personality,
but it's interesting to know what and how Tania is really
fighting for. So, I will watch some more episodes.

I like it because:
1. It is set in pseudo-Europe. I happen to like shows set in the US
(Kaleido Star, Chrono Crusade, Gunsmith Cats, and a relatlvely short
list of others), Europe (Victorian Romance Emma, Croisee in a Foreign
Labyrinth, Hellsing - both versions, and a few others), and
Psuedo-Europe (This Show, FMA - both versions, Scrapped Princess, and
some others).
2. It is not a "high school anime," but rather they are trying
something different.
3. The "cute girl" isn't "moe," rather to quote the last line of the
first episode ,(I hope I can rememeber the line somewhat accurately)
she is "the devil in the guise of a cute girl." Even the other "cute
girl," who seems a bit nicer, is still a soldier for the Nazis (or
whatever they are called in this version of Pseudo-Europe).

I don't have preference to where or when a show to set. In this show,
I dislike Tania as is. She is a b/w/itch. But I'm looking forward
to how it ends. Is it all a dream of the "past exstence"? Hope not.

The historical base of this show is more the Prussian dominated German
Kaiserreich than the Nazireich. The fear to be encircled by enemies
was the reason for the Germans to start Wold War I in 1914 as a war on
two fronts. It is always interesting, how accurate the Japanese autors
work things out.
Btw, meanwhile I follow this show, too.

Well, yes she is, but I think she is a very interesting character. Not
"likeable" necessarily, but to me "likable" and "interesting" are 2
different things.
I don't know if this example really explains it, but of the main 3
characters in School Days, Makoto is neither likable or interesting,
Kotonoha (I hope I spelled that right) is likable but not interesting
(she is real sexy, too, especially in her "cosplay waitress outfit, but
that is also another matter), and Sekai is interesting, but not likable
(at least not to me).

Thank you. I guess I don't my history that well, so I guess I meant
"German (or whatever the country was called in this version of
Pseudo-Europe) Army," but my point is that:
1. The girls are "cute," but are "real soldiers" that kill people and
do all the other things real soldiers do and not ditzy ditzes that ditz
through their ditzy life like Osaka or Yui.
2. The creators put them in actual military uniforms, they did not put
them in frilly dresses like Izetta (a show I happen to like), sexy
outfits like in Bikini Warriors, a show that only held my interest for 1
or 2 episodes, specifically because of trying to sell these bikinis as
having some sort of magic that made them into battle armor.
3. They also didn't make these girls into fan service mascots by
contriving an excuse to have them run around in their pantsu, like the
"leg propellers" in Strike Witches.
