First Episodes: Shield Hero, Cardcaptor Sakura, One Punch Man S2

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new segment to My Anime Life.

In this new segment on the blog, I'm going to write about my first impressions of 3 new shows that I'm giving a chance during one spare evening. These are shows that have been on my PTW list on Myanimelist for a while, and I thought what better way than to talk about my first impressions of these anime right here.
 I will talk about each show, giving you my thoughts and then decide if I'm going to drop the anime, put it on hold or continue watching it.  I will see later on how often I will do this, but I hope that all of you readers will have a fun time reading this while I do this, so let's start with...

Cardcaptor Sakura: This reminded me of the very first series I watched back in the day called Kamichara Karin. Karin was a magical shoujo show that was very upbeat and happy with some romance sprinkled across it. I've heard that there will be romance later here but so far I'm digging everything about it even though it's aimed for maybe a slightly younger audience than me (I'm 16). So, it probably won't do some batshit insane things like what happened in Madoka Magica.

Judgment: I will, however, put this anime on hold, even though I was impressed, I wasn't as impressed as some of the other first episodes that I watched this evening.



The Rising Of Shield Hero: Damm, this was interesting. It was a bit daunting to see that this episode was 47 minutes long and also that I'm also nooot the biggest fan of this genre. I have only completed two isekai shows previously (NGNL & SAO), but just from this episode alone, this is much more unique and un-cliche than both of them. I actually felt pissed off at what was happening to our main lead, Naofumi. At first, I thought that this would be just another isekai but then when I saw what happened to him I was like well, this is different. (not going to spoil)

Judgement: I'm continuing watching this one, everything about Shield Hero was infuriating but that's exactly why I'm going to be watching it.

One Punch Man S2: Not bad, but not that great. This was not as a strong of an episode that the very first episode of the first season was. The first thing I noticed was that the animation has gone down a notch, this was because studio MadHouse adapted the first season but now it's J.C Staff, which are more famous for their high school romcoms (f.ex Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo & Toradora!)
 It's still as hilarious as the first season, I laughed so hard when Saitama suddenly appeared at King's house. but I hope it will pick up and improve from here on.

Judgement: I'm continuing to watch this one, but if it doesn't improve animation and quality wise, I'll have to drop it.

Final Thoughts: This has been an experiment, but this was really fun, the reason why I even did this was because to explore these anime that have been sitting on my PTW list for like months, so I thought that I would make this segment, which is perfect for me to not only give these shows a chance (whatever they are current or classic) but also to recommend you what you can expect from these anime, kinda like me giving you all recommendations on what to watch.
