My school's anime club had it's first sampler of the school year last night and here are my impressions
Angel Beats 1
Having already seen this, I am fully aware of what happens. When thinking about it, this episode really draws people in with its interesting concepts of handling death or rather lack of and its school setting without much of the tropey stuff. And the OP is amazing
Maria Watches Over Us 1
Haven't seen this one before but it is quite heavy of the shoujo elements. There was some unintentionally funny moments. Probably not going to watch this as it seemed like the least enjoyable.
Level E 1
This one was absolutely funny. Seems like a very interesting sci-fi show. The final scene seemed to indicate that this show wasn't that afraid to throw some interesting serious sci-fi elements.
Maria Holic 1
This really should have followed right after Maria Watches Over Us just for the contrast. I have also seen this series. The first episode does have some pretty decent jokes, though it grows tiresome by the first seasons' end for me.
Elfen Lied 1
I've never actually seen the full first episode of this I think. I know this is a trainwreck but wow how terrible this is hilarious. It was tolerable thanks to the commentating by people attending the showing, pointing out the utter ridiculousness and cliche. I want to have this win just to see all the ridiculousness play out in a more tolerable enviroment
