I watched Grimgar, ERASED, and Dimension W.
Grimgar was interesting. From what I can tell, this will not be the type of fantasy setting where one character is clearly stronger than the rest, nor is there a clear goal in sight that extends beyond simple survival. I anticipate this one getting a bit dark in places, and I hope the line between the old reality and new is a central plot point that conflicts and confuses each character differently. This could definitely be one of the best shows in a fantasy setting in a long while.
Dimension W was pretty okay. I'm still on the fence about the concept, although the MC seems to be pretty badass. This show will be riding 50% on the action and 50% on the central plot, so here's hoping for a good amount of plot in next week's episode. Not a bad first episode by any means.
ERASED has the chance to be really good. I have hope, but I'm also going to realistically temper my expectations in the face of time travel, with Steins;Gate being the only time travel related anything I've watched that I felt sufficiently covered the many plot holes opened by playing around with the show's timeline.
I also watched that one about the candy shop last night, and that was pretty okay. It's a nice, down to earth, quirky and interesting show.
