| 02) Amazing background art, lousy character designs, a great
| seiyuu cast, and a story that seems interesting.
|
| I hate the art, and I'm not sure I completely like the story,
| but I'll stick with it for now.  But it might be the first to go.
|
|I also do not like the art.

What I love about the art is the backgrounds and the attention
to detail on equipment and setting. Unfortunately, the character
designs and art cause a severe immersion break as they lack
said detail, have hard outlines, and are generally bland looking.
If the characters hit the same detail as the backgrounds we'd
have a God-Tier show without a doubt.

| 04) I think this show could fit in every anime trope this season.
| Each episode so far has been a blast. Comedy gold.
|
|I usually hate fantasy worlds, elfs, monsters, dragons, etc..
|but I gave this a try because of Mimori Suzuko.
|Her character is too cute.  Very funny story.
|
|Me three, I usually do not like fantasy world.  This one has Mimorin,
|plus Marei (Maaya) and comrade Uesaka, so I will watch more before
|deciding whether to ditch it.

I'm not opposed to a fantasy setting, but rarely is it done right
and this season we have at least 2 shows doing it right. I count
Log Horizon as well since they have nailed the MMORPG genre
better than any manga/anime before. Outbreak Company is
just so funny that I find myself rewatching episodes already.

|[Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova]
|Looks OK so far.  Fuchigami Mai is building on her Garupan success.
|This role Iona is a quiet one, which I like, unlike the noisy one in
|Outbreak Company.

Episode 2 sealed the deal with me watching the show. Smart
dialogue, great action, and Iona is freaking adorable. Takao
was pretty cool as well for her introduction.

|[Monogatari series second series]
|I still do not like the storytelling style of director Shinbou, nor
|the art style.

I haven't had that issue and I find the art style just fine.
The recent Medusa Arc has been tremendously entertaining
to me.

*Outbreak Company, Yuushibu, and NouKome have made
this one of the funniest seasons in a very long time.
