== My (Twitter) reactions to the first episodes of the Spring 2016 season [[As before Winter2016FirstEpisodes]] I've decided to collect here all of my tweeted reactions to the first episodes I've seen (in the order I saw them). * Space Patrol Luluco episode 1: Cute, but too manic and minimal to be something for me. (This is from the 'barely animated' side of Trigger.) [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/716067940110614528]] * Unsurprisingly, I'm no more interested in JoJo's this time around than I was the last three times I tried it. Sorry, Diamond Is Unbreakable. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/716073482530979840]] (Technically I only watched half of the first episode, but it was enough. JoJo's stylings apparently don't work for me.) * Endride episode 1: Generic and bland is the best description for this. It's an inoffensive stock show that just occupies some time. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/716387760492269569]] * Gakusen Toshi Asterisk episode 13: Yay, the gang's pretty much all back. The show still has everything that made it fun to watch in S1. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/716471080463024130]] * My Hero Academia episode 1: This was a well made Shonen Jump show, which means I don't know what to think of it yet. I'll watch the next ep. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/716747245736034304]] * Macross Delta episode 1: GIRI GIRI AAAAAIII! This is the stuff, all right. THIS is how you start a show and hook everyone in sight. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/716826792007483392]] * Bakuon episode 1: Inoffensive and kind of funny, but I didn't find it funny enough for it to be my kind of show. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/717186265284812800]] * Hundred episode 1: So far a perfectly acceptable LN magical high school show, suitable for watching with popcorn. Emile makes the show. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/717553759564369920]] * Twin Star Exorcists ep 1: That was a pretty good start. A clear style, it hit the ground running, and it knew how to shut up and be subtle. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/717883902371741699]] * Bungo Stray Dogs episode 1: That was a pretty good, tho it leaned on the wacky faces a fair bit. But it was only the (empty) intro & setup. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/717922148556341249]] * Cerberus episode 1: There are flashes of something good here, but they're overpowered by animation and writing problems. Too bland & flat. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/717936803236429824]] * Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress episode 1: That was very dramatic, with a capital D. This show doesn't do subtle or quiet or small. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/718270329588748289]] * Concrete Revolutio episode 14: We're back and just as nice as before. It's apparently time to unravel some mysteries and explain some stuff. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/718609891485753345]] * Haifuri episode 1: That was solid and more interesting than I expected, and the hook at the ending is definitely getting me to watch more. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/718924745551417345]] * Flying Witch ep 1: That was fun in a low-key, goofy way. I have hopes that this will be the kind of everyday-life show that works for me. [[♯ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/718962183548309505]] * Kiznaiver episode 1: That was both decently good and interesting, but it deliberately gave us no idea what sort of show this is going to be. [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/719010892088754176]] (A → means there's further discussion on Twitter, a ♯ means that's it.) The two remaining new shows that I'd like to check out are *Kuromukuro*, which is not available yet and may not be available for some time, and *Big Order*, which only starts on April 15th (and I don't expect *Big Order* to be great, based on the premise, although it might be a popcorn watch). Update: * Kuromukuro episode 1: Now that's a good start for an action show. Mostly show don't tell, nicely done, and I like the characters.
