First Impressions Of Fall Anime pt. 1

Today wasn't exactly the best day of my life. [just smile&wave erin] But hey, at least when I got home from school I discovered some of the fall anime on my watch list had started.

The first one I watched was Kill la Kill.
It has kind of that older anime art style, but don't let that throw you off. At first, I did not like it. I didn't see the appeal to it at all, but then again I was only 5 minutes into it, and super confused as to what I was even watching. This dude is killed in like the first two minutes of the episode for stealing this school uniform that apparently gives you like superhuman powers. That was the intro. I was like, what is even going on?? I didn't get interested in the episode until about 15 minutes into it, which is basically after watching most of the show. That was also when I realized what the whole plot of the show was and everything started to make sense. Like wow this is actually really good. Everything in this show is widely exaggerated and it has some comical parts to it. I can definitely see now why people think it will be the new 'hype.' I look forward to the next episode.

Next was Kyoukai no Kanata.
So it starts out with this dude narrating, watching this girl stand on a rooftop, looking like she's going to jump off and kill herself. He runs up to the roof and tries to talk her out of it by saying that she looks good in her glasses and that he liked girls with glasses??? SO SHE FREAKING JUMPS OVER TO HIM AND STABS HIM WITH THIS SWORD SHE MADE OUT OF HER OWN BLOOD. He was apparently totally cool with it because apparently he's immortal or something and behold, that is how they became friends. [what] I couldn't really tell at that point if this was going to be like a love story or what.
After the episode ended, I still couldn't tell if it was like a love story or not ahaha. I'm still trying to get a grasp as to what the main plot of the series is, but then again it's a slice of life anime, so it's not going to have like a main-main sort of plot I guess.

Meganebu and Pupa are still yet to come out. Pupa is supposed to come out tomorrow, so I'll maybe get to watch that then. Meganebu is the only one I've been been waiting for to start, but that's not until next week. But so far, my fall anime is looking good. ^-^
