Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works

Fate/Stay Night is back from its winter hiatus and looking as gorgeous as ever, but the same problems vexing the first portion of the series are still lingering as we head into the spring season. Everything people love about Unlimited is still present and as vibrant as ever, but the crawling pace and episodically-limited settings seem to be here for the long haul.

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma

The plot to Shokugeki no Soma makes it sound like a mundane slice of life with a little bit of Cooking Mama flare, but what’s in store is actually an ultra high-intensity series reminiscent of Hell’s Kitchen. Soma sports absurd, often unintentional comedy that leaves you wondering what the hell you just saw — in the best way.

Battle Spirits Burning Soul

Battle Spirits Burning Soul is the seventh anime series in the Battle Spirits franchise. The show is entirely centered around selling collectible cards to young children and has done a much better job of marketing trinkets than making a quality animation. If you like watching Yugioh’s cousin playing Digimon with cards he made out of glitter and craft paper, this is the series for you.
