We’re just letting this kid take our giant robot? Nobody’s going to stop her? Impressions: It looks like they’re indeed doing the theatrical episode 0 as the first few episodes. I was wondering how much it expected you to watch that and/or be a fan of the original very first Gundam, which I am not. Not …
Catch Me At the Ballpark #02 — Stalkers and Appreciating Them
Getting mixed messages here. Impressions: At least there’s a variety of girls making silly faces. We have a player’s wife, the main character, and… a random other salesgirl.

First Impressions – Zatsu Tabi: That’s Journey
Full disclosure: I originally intended for Zatsu Tabi to be part of the digest post I have going today. But in the end I thought it deserved a post of it’s own. Yes, that does mean a liked it – quite a lot, actually. It’s been an encouraging start to the season in that more …
