First Impression: Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray

Kitahara Jo is looking for a star—a racer that fans can see themselves in and cheer on to victory in the world of uma musume or horse girl racing. But he’s probably not going to find her out in exile at the regionals, right? Meanwhile, it’s the first day of school at Kasamatsu Tracen Academy,… Read More First Impression: Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray

First Impression: Tonbo!

Kazuyoshi Igarashi accepts a job on the remote Hinoshima island, where he meets the island’s only middle schooler, Tonbo. The girl is energetic and rambunctious, but more curiously, she seems to have a rare 3-iron golf club in her possession. Having some history with professional golf, Kazuyoshi, now known as Igaiga, wonders why such a… Read More First Impression: Tonbo!

Such a restriction is… Read More First Impression: Tsurune – The Linking Shot S2

First Impression: Shoot! Goal to the Future

Hideto Tsuji is not okay. Playing video games in cooperative mode, he keeps having flashbacks of his time as a middle school soccer star. He was the glorious shooter with the top goal count, up until this blond player who made the perfect passes left the team. The sudden change in attitude of the audience,… Read More First Impression: Shoot! Goal to the Future

First Impression: AOASHI

Aoi Ashito has enough natural talent to carry his backwater middle school soccer team to victory single-handed. He also has enough confidence for an entire 11-man team, and more besides. Given his short temper and proclivity for grandiose claims about his abilities—“I am the reincarnation of Ronaldo in his prime, though he’s still alive! I… Read More First Impression: AOASHI

First Impression: Love All Play

I just have to say this first… I love this first episode so very much! (If I could put that in all caps without seeming like I’m yelling at you, then I would, because I am just that excited!) Love All Play has a fantastic first episode and I’m already eagerly looking forward to the… Read More First Impression: Love All Play
