This season I tried to watch as many debuts as possible...
Never again.

Anyways, some thoughts!

Denkigai no Honya-san: Comedy is very hit or miss with different people, but it's weird when a single show is hit or miss with a single person, in this case I loved episode 1, it genuinely gave me good laughs, but I found episode 2 to be perfectly boring.

Karen Senki: How did I end up watching this thing? Oh yeah, the Former...
In all honesty it's kinda interesting, I can't get into the action, not only it feels unpolished and simple, but it is very abrupt, it starts suddenly and ends int he same way.
However the world has interesting ideas, their world building isn't great, but some of the ideas they've shown are indeed fascianting.

Terra Formars: The censoring is so incredibly obtrusive that even following the basic plot is impossible, add to that how mechanic the show feels and yeah... not a winner.

G no Reconguista: Lovely art style with spotty animation, interesting ideas displayed in a confusing way, G-Reco starts shoving terminology at you that nobody explains and won't make sense till the next episode rolls around, it's not a great way to handle it, but the ideas are indeed cool, and the tone and characters are enjoyable.
Mainly I hope Bell finally sticks to one side.

Fate/Stay Night: I liked the original anime, loved the UBW movie and was amazed by Zero, so a production that combines elements of all 3 is indeed great.
But I already love these characters and this story, and I really ahve nothing else to say about a story I've experienced before.

Wolf Girl And Black Prince: The boy who cried wolf, now as a romantic comedy.
I'm biased, since finding out about it, I wanted to like this thing, I was strangely excited for it, and yes I did like it a lot.
It centers about a girl with poor social skills that ends up earning populairty though her lies, in particular her fake boyfriend, however, said boy eventually learns of her lies, and agrees to help her as long as she obeys his commands.
While I wouldn't say anything in the show makes it a standout of the shoujo genre, I do find it amusing.

Cross Ange: It's a sunrise mecha show, and not exactly one of the most original ones out there.
It's overly reliant on shock value, and I have no desire to live thorugh Valvrave 2.0.

Grisaia no Kajitsu: I... actually like this a lot.
A VN adaptation, the story focuses on a strange school, with only 6 students, the reasons as to why they are there in the first place are slowly unveiled and you know, drama happens.
In all honesty I don't care much for the dark side of the story, at least so far, but I love how the show is executed, the humor is good, the characters are clearly based on stereotypes, but they are aware of it, and it adds to the comedy, even the fanservice is done in such a way that it seems conscious of how mechanical and pointles it is, meaning I don't find it annoying.
I really like this thing.

Steins;Gate/IBM: A series of Steins;Gate shorts made by IBM.
They cook and stuff.

I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying: A short comedy anime based on an otaku and his wife, it's main strenght happens to be it's short lenght.
The jokes are short and frequent, even if you don't like one, a new one quickly replaces it, and the speed makes it a good time waster and a pretty effective comedy.

Your Lie In April: A boy dropped music after the death of his mother, starting to see the world as monotone and boring.
After an encounter with energetic anime girl #37 he starts to see interest in his enviroment and music again.
It sounds generic, but it's well done, music is of coruse lovely,t he animation is eye catching and the show moved at a great pace with a good balance of humor and plot.
