Fate/
Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko MineIf you're going into this expecting wacky hijinks or crazy exploits, you will be disappointed. Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine is a mature, slightly dark take on the franchise, and it succeeds in bringing new life to it while still remaining faithful to Monkey Punch's original.

A Certain Magical Index Episodes 1-tsuritama Episodes 1-6 Streaming
If you took an old-fashioned youth drama, hitched it to a campy 50s sci-fi romp and filtered it through the hipster sensibilities of an indie comedy it might come out looking something like this.
Kuroko's Basketball Episodes 1-7 Streaming
Gets some help from an interesting core concept, but the main reason it works well is simply because it knows its basics: good characters, exciting action, and the occasional good chuckle.
Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike Blu-Ray + DVD
While Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike seems slow while you're watching it, reflection shows it to be a worthwhile viewing. With its slow pace and long runtime, attention deficit viewers may prefer to watch it in two sittings, but overall the gorgeous animation, well-acted characters, and suitably heroic soundtrack all work together to make it palatable.

Like the thirteen before them, these are thirteen very easy episodes to watch. They pass in a highly pleasant rush of mildly atypical, lightly character-based adventure. If you don't count the tournament in the middle.

No matter how fluidly the code flies it cannot disguise the fact that the story isn't making a whole lot of sense. Perhaps the novels do a better job. The anime, however, leaves much to be desired.
