Naruto - eps 1-8

I've seen so much of Naruto, but for various reasons, started with Shippuden as opposed to the original (aside from odd episodes here and there) - so it's weird seeing the events we've seen in countless millions of flashbacks in their 'original' form.

I always used to think the original Naruto looked very dated, but on second viewing, it's not as bad as I remember (aside from the horrid toner-style greyed out flashbacks). Indeed, most of the Zabuza arc suffers from being really washed out due to the 'mist' effect they apply. But yeah, even now, as soon as the opening five episodes are out of the way and the first proper arc begins, it's hard to not get swept up in the 'just one more episode' drive of Naruto.
 
Sword Art Online II - Episode 14
Psycho Pass 2 - Episode 2
Amagi Brilliant Park - Episodes 1 & 2

Slowly starting to delve into the new season. Psycho Pass continues to be pretty good, whilst Amagi Brilliant Park wasn't what I was expecting - in a good way.
 
Fallen behind on pretty much everything.

Denki-gai 2

Errr, what happened? After a charming and decent 1st episode, I found episode 2 to be obnoxious and a chore to watch. Probably gonna drop it.

When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace 1

Not bad at all. Has the potential to go either way though.
 
Nekomonogatari: Black (Japanese Dub) - Episodes 01-04 (Complete)

Nyan.

Interesting arc, really enjoyed it nyan.

The Opening song is really nice, alongside Platinum Mad it's one of my favourite Monogatari Opening songs I've heard so far. The Ending song reminds me of Nightmare (Death Note OP1)...

Now.. what about Second Season... Well I'll pick up the rest of the arcs in 2015 (assuming Hanamonogatari is out in April), no plans to watch SS on CR since I want to save it for later.
 
Grisaia no Kajitsu - Episodes 1 & 2

The show seems alright so far. Be interesting to see where it goes. I can't help getting Mahouka MC vibes from the MC here though.
It also seems to be an odd choice that 8bit decided to animate this at a 2.35:1 aspect ratio (Think Berserk Movies). Maybe it was to save money or something.
 
Picked up far too much again! so in the past two/three weeks or so:

Rage of Bahamut: Genesis 1-2 : Possible sleeper hit of the season? The PV's looked quality but still went in unsure considering its based off a mobile card game ..and it blew me away, fantastic soundtrack, beautiful animation and the plot/characters have pulled me in. Hope this continues as it could be my AOTS.
Amagi Brilliant Park 1-3 : Really liking the premise, its way cute, funny and interesting with gorgeous animation
Wolf Girl & Black Prince 1-2 : Exactly what I expected it to be like. It's generic for the genre but I like that, nice easy obvious plot watching.
The Fruit of Grisaia 1-2 : Opposite of Wolf Girl, didn't expect it to be the way it is, nice surprise. Could be amazing or could fall apart very easily. Definitely good so far even with the fan service moments.
Log Horizon 2 - 1-2: Meh first episode, fell flat for me but picked up in the second episode, enjoyed the introduction of the new idol character & the raid process, the pacing was top notch
Trinity Seven 1-2: Has my interest, good premise, will see.
Fate/Stay Night Prologue: Fantastic!
I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying 1-3 : Short is short. Some funny moments.
When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace 1-2 : Not feeling it, seems very meh but will continue, only 2 eps in after all
Bonjour♪ Koiaji Pâtisserie 1 : Very Otome. I liked it. Easy short watching if I'm bored.
Akame Ga Kill 14-15 : Becoming more enjoyable as time goes on, was a bit meh at first but it's sucking me in.

Watched Girlfriend BETA, it was horrible.

Parasyte, Psycho Pass & Your Lie In April I'm waiting to finish airing as I'd like to marathon those over a few days or so.

Terra Formars: Waiting for the uncensored version.
