First Impressions: Fate Kaleid Liner PRISMA ILYA 2wei! Ep 1, Majimoji Rurumo Ep 1, Rokujouma no Shinryakusha Ep 1, Tokyo ESP Ep 1, Sengoku Basara Judge End Ep 1, Re Hamatora Ep 1, Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance Ep 1

 
Fate Kaleid Liner PRISMA ILYA 2wei! Ep 1: It has been two weeks since Ilya and Miyu recovered the Servant cards and returned back to normal lives. However Rin and Luvia dragged them back to restore the Ley lines underneath the city. When the lines went out of control, Ilya used the Archer card but something went wrong and now a darker version of Ilya in front of her...
 
If you enjoyed a less darker version of the Fate universe and has seen the first season, this one is supposedly better as we are introduced to Ilya's doppelganger-Kuro and the reason why she was sealed inside Ilya is pretty sad. Anyway, this show you can hold on to till the latest re-telling of Fate Stay Night returned in later of this year.
 
 
Majimoji Rurumo Ep 1: Kota accidentally summon Rurumo, a witch from another dimension. She was suppose to take his life after his wish is granted however Kota cancelled the wish which caused her to be in witch prison. Later Kota found a ticket booklet that can summon her back. She explained that the booklet will be able to grant any wishes he desired. He used it to become invisible and returned a bra to the school's hot chick. That night, Rurumo's talking cat. Chiro told Kota that each time he used a ticket, his lifespan is shortened...
 
This is the lesson of be careful of what you wished for and getting a whole deck of wishes at the cost of your life is something out of a Twlight Zone episode. Kota is your typical open-pervert and Rurumo is the emotionless witch who will blushed at the unexpected moment. I think this show is all right although Kota have to be careful of making any wishes from now on but I am guessing he will used it anyway...
 
 
Rokujouma no Shinryakusha Ep 1: Satomi Kotaro got a good deal in renting a room for 5000 yen. However a female ghost named Sanae tried to scare him off but failed. Suddenly, a Magical girl named Yurika, a Priestess named Kiriha from the Subterranean people and Alien princess Tiamirsu all tried to claim his room for their own personal reasons. This arose the anger of the landlord and Kotaro's fellow classmate, Shizuka who beat them up and ordered them to stay together till they can sort out their problems...
 
The phase-Three's a crowd should be rephrased as Six's a sandwich since all the girls are fighting over Kotaro's room and he is not giving up without a fight. So far the characters are your typical anime types-you have the lively ghost, the klutz magical girl, the big breasts priestess, the loli princess and the girl next door with super strength. This might be a recurring theme but I am enjoying the first episode so far...
 
 
Tokyo ESP Ep 1: A group of ESP users started attacking Tokyo city and holding the Japanese government hostage by rising the Diet building into the air. The leader of the group demanded they are given a haven for the ESP users since people are mostly prejudiced against them. Chaos ensured throughout the city and no one is able to stop. However some ESP users (the good guys) believe that the "White Lady" will returned and true enough, Rinka aka the White Lady returned to save the city...
 
If this scene sounds familiar, it's basically what X-Men is all about. But instead of mutant powers granted through puberty, they were basically ordinary people hit by a strange phenomena that granted different powers. If you were given super powers, you won't go and become a hero but rather used for personal gains which is what this show is about. But not everyone jumped the wagon as some are willing to use to help people. From the first episode, I can tell not everyone supported the ESP users which caused the "Evil" users to band together and take over the city. Can Rinka save the day with her friends? Unfortunately, we have to wait for the last few episodes to find out since the next episode goes back to a few months ago and how it all started.
 
 
Sengoku Basara Judge End Ep 1: After the fall of Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to claim Japan as his own however Tokugawa Ieyasu was against his ideals. He finally turned against Hideyoshi and killed him. However Ishida Mitsunari who was blinded by Hideyoshi's ideals now become a vengeful warrior swore to kill Tokugawa. The fate of Japan now lies with two warriors' final confrontation at Sekihara in 90 days...
 
I loved the Sengoku Basara games since they are more over the top then the Samurai Warriors from Koei. However the first two seasons of the anime was not so impressive since it took a while for everything to set in motion. But already this first episode was pretty good and since this is the final confrontation which anyone who have played enough Samurai Warriors or Nobunaga's Ambition will know who will win in the end. It will be interesting to see any plot twists that might affect the outcome of the battle...
 
 
Re Hamatora Ep 1: Three months has passed since Nice's death. Everyone tried to get on with their lives but when Murasaki and Hajime took a job to protect a Miniuim holder and Idol star Hikaru. They soon found out that he was marked for death by his boss and had mislead several of his female fans to think they are in love with him. Suddenly Nice reappeared after going around in a Tiger Mascot doll and solve the case. His friends welcome him back but Art has returned and approached Hikaru...
 
If you miss out the final episode of the first season, it was shocking as Nice was shot in the head by Art who has become crazy. But I am suspecting that Art might not be himself since he too was shot in the head by Moral before returning from the dead. Although I felt that Nice's reappearance was too soon and how did he survive his injuries? Look like we have to sit down and watch the rest of the episodes to find out.
 
 
Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance Ep 1: Kamito was on his way to the Areisha Spirit Academy where he come upon Clarie who was taking a bath. Clarie tried to teach him a lesson but he saved her from a fallen tree that she caused it in the first place. Later Clarie tried to claim a powerful spirit for her own but nearly killed when Kamito took the spirt in his control instead. He was later revealed to be the only male able to use elemental spirits. He was promised by the headmaster of the school that she will reveal the whereabouts of his former spirit, Resita and begain his life in the all-female school...
 
Similar to Infinite Stratos where Kamito is the only male able to use elemental spirits. Instead being kind hearted to every girl he met, he bad mouth them but still help them when they are in trouble. Clarie is like Louise from Zero no Tsukaima complete with her whip and fiery attitude. The rest of the girls are your typical stereotypes like the tough tsundere knight leader, the cool and kind hearted princess and the klutz maid. Sounds familiar? So far it is all right for the first episode though I have a feeling it will be like Seikou no Dragonar where they censored the good parts...
