== My (Twitter) reactions to the first episodes of the Fall 2015 season Since I want to do less of my blogging just on Twitter ([[cf BloggingOnTwitter]]), I've decided to collect here all of my tweeted reactions to the first episodes I've seen (in the order I saw them). * Heavy Object episode 1: Meh. It's a reasonably well made, reasonably well done generic work. You know the drill by now. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/650167028192542720]] * Noragami Aragoto episode 1: Maybe I'm in a grumpy mood, but nothing in this episode really (re)hooked me. It was okay but needed a spark. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/650182250567467008]] * K - Return of Kings episode 1: It was fun to get back together with these people, but not much actually happened this episode. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/650395594037559296]] * Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry ep 1: This is a decently competent and essentially generic instance of what it is. You know all the parts by now. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/650516940511948800]] * Utawarerumono - Itsuwari no Kamen ep 1: All setup, no hook. As setup goes it was okay & different than usual, but that's not really enough. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/650517707339735040]] * Gakusen Toshi Asterisk episode 1: This is clearly LN based, but wow, it actually has energy and knows how to be interesting and intriguing. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/650871856602443776]] * One Punch Man episode 1: This was okay and I smiled a few times, but the next episode better have a whole new set of jokes. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/650881859082153984]] * Concrete Revolutio episode 1: However crazy and stylish this was, it was once again a case of all setup and basically no hook. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/650890966186852352]] * Comet Lucifer episode 1: At least there's something like a hook here, even if it feels like they crammed too many obscure hints in this ep. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/651617073567801344]] * Iron-Blooded Orphans episode 1: It's a giant robot war story. It's cliched but not abjectly stupid, and sometimes clever and a bit subtle. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/651618495524929537]] * Owarimonogatari episode 1: On the one hand, that sure was a lot of talking and nothing else. On the other hand, I did stay interested in it. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/652325884905586688]] * Perfect Insider episode 1: That was interesting in a way that most shows aren't, even if I have no idea where it's going or what it's about. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/652983459078471680]] * Garo - The Crimson Moon episode 1: I'm sad to say that there's no special reason to care about this, no special spark like the original. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/653054057586802688]] * Sakurako-san episode 1: That was decent, but it would have been a bunch better without the LN protagonist and the need for him. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/653302561013952512]] * Hidan no Aria AA: nope. Just nope. In the short amount I watched this did less than nothing to offset my bad memories of the original. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/654136823359373312]] ([[also https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/652272196434456576]], and I'd have been happier listening to myself about giving it a try) Anything with a → link has additional discussion in the replies to my tweet (sometimes more tweets from me, sometimes talking with other people). (Having done this by hand once, clearly I need to automate it for next season. Or at least do it piece by piece as I make these tweets, instead of well after the fact.)
