First Impression: Lucky☆ Star

Lucky☆ Star

What do you get when you mix Azumanga Daioh (perhaps the greatest show about nothing) and Kyoto Animation (one of the – if not the – greatest animation companies out there)? You get the super moe~ Lucky☆ Star.

First Impression: Darker than Black

Darker than Black: -黒の契約者-

When I first saw the preview to this anime, I felt a resemblance to Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex. It has a kind of futuristic and cyberpunkish edge without being overtly futuristic or cyberpunkish.

First Impression: El Cazador de la Bruja

El Cazador de la Bruja

From the makers of Noir and MADLAX comes El Cazador de la Bruja (The Witch Hunter). I myself have actually been anticipating this one for a while.

First Impression: Claymore

Claymore

I heard that this series is a pretty anticipated one, so after some recommendations, I decided to check it out. It’s essentially a medieval kind of action series, as far as I can tell. The story revolves around this group of people that are called Claymores that are hired to go around, killing creatures called Yoma (demons, basically). Not much plot has developed yet, but it looks like that may change soon.
