Winter Anime 2014/15 Picks

A bit late to the party but here it is, sharing what I'll be watching/keeping up with during this season's anime line-up. The following are just what I thought of them from their first episode.


Tokyo Ghoul A - Continuing straight from the end of season one of Tokyo Ghoul, at first I was wondering if there was any timeskip cause I couldn't exactly remember what happened in the last episode, other than Kaneki torture and then him turning all badass. 
      It seems to start off well, quality seems the same, I don't know if there will be any censorship this season, I honestly didn't notice it much in the first season until later episodes. The new Kaneki is quite different than the one we saw in the majority of the first season, so I'm interested in seeing where the show goes.



Koufuku Graffiti - Food porn?
Are you a foodie though? Love looking at images of food? Well this anime may just be for you to watch this season. Mouth-watering food images and beautiful animation just might satisfy you, or just make you want to eat....which is how I felt watching this anime.
      Other than that I don't know what to expect from the show honestly, perhaps some heart-warming moments. I don't expect any cooking battles like in Cooking Master boy or Yakitate Japan! What they all have in common though is making me wish I could reach into my screen and grab their food!


Death Parade - I quite like the tone and atmosphere of this anime. I never saw the episode/ova/movie? this was continued on from but I really like these episodic type shows. Although most of them I know are from manga, to name a couple of my favourites, Pet Shop of Horrors, Skyhigh series and the manwha, Tarot CafĂ©. I have watched Hell Girl but wasn't as into it, probably would've liked it more as a manga. Anyway, the feel of the show is similar to those I've listed and again I love that sort of theme, the people who seem to get brought to the room also do not remember what happened to them to end up in there, so that concept is quite interesting and they can only recall events when they play a game. So I'll be watching more and anticipating what pair will be sent to that room in the next episode!



The Rolling Girls - Crazy colourful, just spectacularly beautiful, can I imagine all my fights to be just flower-y explosions please? The first episode confused and just bedazzled me, I honestly loved all those effects, the glitter, the sparkles, all that flora imagery, intense vivid images. The style reminds me a bit of Summer Wars, I think just all the colours and again it's just all round crazy, like those battles in Oz. Definitely the highlight of the show and why I'll be watching this one.



Juuketsu no Maria - Ah, sweet little Maria, this show is off to a great start! A cute style, interesting witch designs, love the details, some fanservice (although I don't really care for it) and oh my the innuendos. Honestly I thought that Maria was going to be the one that is all sex'ed up but even though her clothing says otherwise, she's the most innocent. I quite like the first episode, to Maria and her succubus to battles and a dragon! I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to watching more ^_^



Seiken Tsukai no World Break - .....I actually decided to drop this after the first episode, which I have not done before, I can't believe I decided to pick this one up, thought it could be something good, even though from preview images it was a typical chosen hero, harem type thing. I think without the ecchi elements, I could've possibly kept this up but really when I got to that boob scene with the purple haired girl who does not seem to have any emotions, I said nope. I mean....maybe it would've been more tolerable if that scene was brought out in later episodes and we got to know the characters a bit more, too soon and just it was all handled wrong, presented wrong, all was just not good. I finished the rest of the episode, didn't just turn it off but yea I can't. It's too bad and weird and wrong, I'm not one for incest either sooooo no, sorry.
