The fall season is finally over, just as the year is almost through. It's certainly been an interesting season, filled with ups and downs. I thought that I might as well end the season right through tiny reviews of what I've been watching, along with reasons why I may have not finished up something. Please note that this will contain shows I did not do Initial Impressions posts on, and that this will be much less-detailed than other posts. (Note:

Welcome to Initial Impressions!
There’s so much anime out there, but only so much time to watch it. Why not get some knowledge of the first few episodes of a show to know what’s worth your time?
Initial Impressions takes the first three episodes of a show and breaks them down. Why three? A show typically reaches its general path by three episodes in. This critique of the opening portion of the series is not meant to replace a full review, but offer a suggestion as to whether or not it is worth viewing to those who are curious. Think of it as an extended preview with critical elements!
If you wish to contact me with a show to do an Initial Impressions of, or if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at: pensuke@fm1397.com
