Psycho-Pass 1! the last new show on my list.
+ Decent production
- Typical naive female character lead who will undoubtedly soften the heart of the icy male characters...zzz...hope she at least goes 'psycho' once.
+ Dark world
Quick impression~ Machines are able to read people's mental state. If a person is a 'latent criminal', they are rehabilitated or eliminated. In episode 1, a newbie female detective is introduced to the Enforcers, latent criminals who are used to catch other criminals. They use guns, Dominators, that tell them what kind of force is needed; stun or eliminate. The newbie and Enforcers chase someone who knew about his bad readings, then ran, then thought all was hopeless, and decides to rape a woman. The guns then read the victim as being beyond help, thus, needing to be eliminated, but the newbie talks her out of her bad mental state. Fairly predictable in the first few minutes, but has potential to be a great thriller. The elimination mode on the guns cause the target to explode with maximum blood spillage...if you are into that sort of thing. Wasn't there a movie like this...
Hunter x Hunter 2012 51! Chrollo Lucifer lets his gang run wild at the auction site. This episode doesn't stray too far from the original OVA. Hope the upcoming battles have some goodies.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventures 2! Now, that's an opening! While the production in the first episode didn't impress, the opening song and visuals are a great representation of this extreme anime. It's 7 years later and Jojo and Dio have become huge young men admired by everyone. Jojo not totally naive, suspects Dio of poisoning his father. He travels to London to find proof and an antidote. He befriends some thugs with his honesty. Dio experiments with the vampire mask.
K 2! Is it me or is Viz's broadcast not as sharp as CR's or Funimation's?...blech. A gang of super-powered young people are looking for a young boy, Isana Yashiro, who is presumed to have killed one of their members. He taunts one of the guys before getting away. While there's plenty of action and bromance, naturally, there's also a cat that can turn into a naked woman. This show feels like Durarara, and there's some sort of story, but so far it's just aimless running around, and almost funny humor.
Zetsuen no Tempest 2! Hey, Shakespeare-influence anime. Mahiro gets his friend, Yoshino, up to speed on how he obtained magic powers from Hakaze who is stuck on an island before advising Yoshino to escape the area. The residents of the city have all turned to metal. Mahiro is set on revenge against the person who murdered his sister. Yoshino finds that he wants to help him. The dramatic music and roundabout dialogue didn't make much sense at first until they mentioned Shakespeare. With exception to the dialogue, the anime just resembles any other mysterious sci-fi action show, so far.
Little Busters 2! Naoe finds Sakura Kinomoto-clone character on the roof of the school. They eat sweets. She is recruited for the baseball team. Rin is sent mysterious messages via stray cats. Thought about dropping this until the cliffhanger.
Code Breaker 2! Ogami fails to kill Sakura twice. Sakura is persistent at telling him to stop killing. She angsts when he tells her off. Zzz...dropped.
Sukitte Ii na yoi 2! Thought I recognized the singer of the opening song; it's the late Ritsuko Okazaki. Anyway, the popular boy tries to get closer to the outcast causing the other girls to become jealous...where have I heard this before... Despite the nice production, this is really a sappy, predictable romance. Dropped.
