Today I did something I haven& #39;t done in a while, and that& #39;s to check out the first episodes for a bunch of new anime series (for the new spring season). A thread.
Sing "Yesterday" to Me is what you& #39;d describe as slice-of-life, and I quite liked this first episode. Revolves around characters who have just graduated, and now they reconnect a few months later. Good drama, will keep watching.
Kakushigoto is about a dad who creates dirty manga, and wants to keep it a secret from his daughter. It& #39;s a comedy, and pretty screwball at that. I had fun watching it (real laughs), and will give it some more episodes.
Tower of God is fantasy wrapped in a mystery, about a boy stuck in a tower, and to get out (or to reach the top) he needs to pass tests -- the 2nd test starts looking like Hunger Games (other characters taking part). I was intrigued enough to want to watch a bit more.
Listeners is a bit of a weird one. It& #39;s a mech anime, but with a strong music theme, in that the mechs are transformed from what look like music amps, they fight an "audience" of the "Earless," etc. I liked the first episode fine, but not sure if it& #39;ll keep my interest.
Sol Levante is a new 4-minute short commissioned by Netflix from Production I.G, to showcase 4K HDR animation. It& #39;s absolutely stunning, and I hope they do more.
That& #39;s it for now. There are two other series I want to check out, but their first episodes haven& #39;t aired yet. I& #39;ll update the thread after I watch them.
The Millionaire Detective Balance: Unlimited is about a billionaire who decides to join a police force, using his monetary resources as he investigates/tries to stop baddies. The first episode was good enough, but more of an intro, so I& #39;ll check out the 2nd one.
