| Anime of the Week – Sword Art Online |
 |
Kazuto must confront a developing political scene among the other gamers trapped in Sword Art Online that is showing a growing animosity towards beta testers like him. |
| July 15 |
SAO Ep. 2 It seems that in order to protect himself and other beta testers the newbies despise, Kirito is going to role play the anti-hero. |
| Kokoro Connect Ep. 2 This show has been fairly dry about such a novel concept as a group of friends randomly switching minds and bodies. |
| Dog Days 2 Ep. 2 A powerful theme is growing—the friend who is overshadowed by bigger personalities, yet longs to be a main character, too. |
| July 17 |
Koichoco Ep. 2 This series is finding itself to be a fun, but serious romance with the perfect amount of comedy to give it some personality. |
| Total Eclipse Ep. 3 This series doesn’t escape the tired, old theme of humanity’s inability to get along even in the face of extinction. |
| Rinne no Lagrange 2 Ep. 1 Initial impression – the same great enthusiasm http://wp.me/p1Gaby-si |
| Rinne 2 Ep. 2 I like seeing that this anime’s characters are willing to talk through their problems rather than just endlessly butt heads. |
| Hakuouki Reimeiroku Ep. 1 Initial impression – your average samurai http://wp.me/p1Gaby-so |
| July 18 |
Hyouka Ep. 13 Ever since the second half started this series has had a hard time focusing. Is it a mystery or a romance and to what degree? |
| Binbougami ga! Ep. 1 Initial impression – weird and scatterbrained (3/10) http://wp.me/p1Gaby-sw |
| Oda Nobuna no Yabou Ep. 1 Initial impression – been there, done that, moving on (3/10) http://wp.me/p1Gaby-sH |
| Hagure Yuusha no Estetica Ep. 1 Initial impression – a good idea that’s not on a solid foundation http://wp.me/p1Gaby-sO |
| July 19 |
Natsuyuki Rendezvous Ep. 1 Initial impression – a lot of interesting talk http://wp.me/p1Gaby-sX |
| Hagure Yuusha Ep. 2 This show has crossed some lines that shouldn’t be crossed, but it presents itself so well I grudgingly accept it. |
| Joshiraku Ep. 1 Initial impression – fourth wall…what fourth wall? (4/10) http://wp.me/p1Gaby-t6 |
| Campione Ep. 2 I can’t tell to what degree this series wants to be a serious action/fantasy and how much it wants to be a pitiful harem. |
| Ebiten: Kouritsu Ebisugawa Koukou Tenmonbu Ep. 1 Initial impression – a random lack of focus (3/10) http://wp.me/p1Gaby-tg |
| July 20 |
Tari Tari Ep. 3 Konatsu has some pretty silly logic, but at least she’s collecting allies who will help her stand up to the vice principal. |
| Chouyaku Hyakuninisshu: Uta Koi Ep. 1 Initial impression – not sure what I just watched, but it was good http://wp.me/p1Gaby-to |
| July 21 |
Accel World Ep. 15 As if I needed another reason to hate Nomi… I like that Haruyuki has a friendly rapport with his other rivals. |
