In this article I will be talking about the shows airing this season that I'm following.

That list exists out of :
- Accel World
- Acchi Kocchi
- Haiyore! Nyaruko-san
- Sankarea
- Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
- Upotte!!

There are a few more, however those are second seasons, I won't mention those.

I will be giving short opinions on each show, not too long because they probably only have 2 or 3 episodes out.


Accel world

"The year is 2046. Haruyuki Arita is a young boy who finds himself on the lowest social rungs of his school. Ashamed of his miserable life, Haruyuki can only cope by indulging in virtual games. But that all changes when Kuroyukihime, the most popular girl in school, introduces him to a mysterious program called Brain Burst and a virtual reality called the Accel World."
Genres: Action, Romance, School, Sci-Fi, Shounen

Opinion on this show : I personally think this is a really good show so far. The idea behind it is pretty good, the characters are likeable (Yes, even the fat main character.) and who knows, it might even happen one day!(If technology keeps advancing at this speed.) Rating so far 8/10


Acchi Kocchi

"Wouldn't you just love to poke in a relationship between two young high schoolers who have a subtle distance between each other? Of course you would. Tsumiki and Io have this subtle distance that anyone would want to jump in between just to bug them. That's what the other characters are there for. Tsumiki, being a tsundere and all, won't be honest about her feelings toward Io. Io on the other hand is unaware of Tsumiki's feelings, hence the subtle distance between the two. Now, let's watch these two and see what events await them..."
Genres: Romance, School, Seinen, Comedy

Opinion on this show : This is the typical anime with gag humor, however in this case it's actually pretty funny, I can enjoy the characters, the jokes and the setting. However this show is probably not for everyone. Rating so far 7/10


Haiyore! Nyaruko-san

"The story of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san centers around Nyaruko, a formless Cthulhu deity of chaos (Nyarlathotep) who can take on the shape of a seemingly ordinary silver-haired girl. Mahiro Yasaka is a normal high school boy who is chased by aliens one night, until Nyaruko saves him."
Genres: Comedy, Parody, Sci-Fi

Opinion on this show : Just like acchi kocchi, this show is filled with random humor, however here the humor is much more random. Same as Acchi kocchi, this show is not for everyone. Rating so far 7.5/10


Sankarea

"Furuya's not interested in the living, he's got zombies on the brain! When Furuya's cat dies, he decides he's going to try and bring it back to life. In the process, he stumbles across a girl whose failed attempted suicide has turned her into a real zombie! What's Furuya going to do now that the thing he loves the most is right in front of his eyes? "
Genres: Comedy, Ecchi, Horror, Romance, Shounen, Supernatural

Opinion on this show : As you've probably read above, this show has an extremely promising setting. The first 3 episodes were really good and I couldn't wait to see the next one. I would recommend this show to almost everyone. Rating so far 9/10


Tasogare Otome x Amnesia

"60 years ago, a young woman was left to die in the abandoned school building behind the exclusive Seikyou Academy. No one knows why. No one knows how. But the horrifying tale and the legends of the ghostly haunting that followed live on to this day. Perhaps it's not so surprising then, that among Seikyou's many school clubs is one for students interested in "paranormal investigations." What might raise more than a few hairs, however, is that the founder of the club is the ghost herself. Unable to remember how she died and trapped in the grey land between life and death, Yuuko latches onto Teiichi Niiya, a freshman who can inexplicably see her, and together they and the other unsuspecting members of the club begin to unravel the many dark mysteries that surround Seikyou. Will unlocking the secret of Yuuko's gruesome death finally free her? Or will her sudden close association with a mortal have even stranger repercussions on both of their existences?"
Genres: Mystery, Horror, Romance, School, Shounen, Supernatural

Opinion on this show : So far this show has been fairly good, the humor wasn't extremely random, the characters are pretty likeable and the story is overal decent. I think a lot of you might also like this show.
Rating so far 8/10


Upotte!!

"A teacher is looking for a school by the name of Seishou Academy, as he is a new transfer teacher for that school. Seishou Academy is known for having students with excellent marksmanship. However, he gets lost along the way and decides to look for someone who knows where the school is at a summer festival.

He encounters a girl at a shooting range and finds her marksmanship skills to be professional. The girl tells the new teacher that she is an assault rifle, not a student. Her name is FNC and is an assault rifle of Seishou Academy.

The new teacher attends school the next day to find students, including FNC, practicing shooting M16s and realizes that he has come to an unbelievable school. How will his experience be at Seishou Academy?"
Genres: Action, Comedy, Seinen

Opinion on this show : So far I've found this show fairly boring, the concept is actually good, girls being guns & using jokes on that. However it's not done well. I think the story is overall boring and it's not really interesting to follow. I will keep following it as who knows, it might improve, as this is only based on the first 3 episodes. Ratiing so far 6/10


Hopefully this list will inspire you to pick something up, I hope it does.
