Mysterious Girlfriend X 1 - I haven't read this manga, and based on this anime's description I did not have high hopes to say the least.
However, I gave it a try, in part because of the good reviews it'd gotten here, and... yeah, it was actually good. Weird, but good. It was entertaining, the MC and girl were weird but likeable... (seriously, he tasted her drool? That makes him weird.) it was good. The plot doesn't make much sense of course, but that's the whole idea. This episode was strange, but good.
Oh, the art's pretty simple; it works, but it's not exactly the most detailed stuff. It's good enough I guess. Overall, this could be decently good for a ridiculous, fanservicey anime. At least it has a somewhat unique concept, it's not just entirely by the book generic. And yeah, it was entertaining in part because of that.
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia 1 - After all of the poor reviews I was somewhat worried for this, because I like the manga, but it did end up being good. The art is indeed not as good as the manga's, sadly; the manga backgrounds are particularly high quality, but here they're not above average. It's too bad, and does hurt the series some.
Apart from that, though, the episode was good. This episode introduces us to the four main characters; most of them don't have much introduction yet, apart from Yuuko the ghost of course, but as I've read the manga I had no problem. I would think that someone who hasn't would be okay too, though; it says enough to get the basics, like that Yuuko is a ghost, the guy can see ghosts, and that the other girl can't see ghosts, and the other characters (the other living girl, most notably) will be introduced more later.
So, this episode starts in the clubroom, then goes to investigate an incident with a mysterious dumbwaiter, and then finishes with a search on a nearby hillside for a gravestone supposedly of Yuuko's. It's all solid stuff, and amusing. The series hasn't really gotten to much of the serious side of the plot yet, but it is a series that mixes serious and comic elements, so that's okay; it'll get to the serious side eventually, for sure.
Oh, and the beginning, where first you see it as the "can't see ghosts" girl would see it, and then with Yuuko in view, was pretty funny. Her antics as she tried, and failed, to get her to be noticed was amusing stuff. :)
So yeah, overall, Tasogare was good. It's not great, and could have been better for sure, but it was okay to good, at least.
