If you could save one anime, which would it be and why?

I personally feel a more mature Pokemon anime series would be amazing. If they could make it less episodic and more linear story driven that'd be awesome. I don't know many people who enjoy the anime in it's current state, except for kids who watch it on television. I think something more like Pokemon Origins would be amazing. I mean, imagine if you were watching Pokemon and Ash seemed more human. In it's current state Ash seems to be more of a walking moral codebook that always says and chooses the right thing to do, and seems to win 9/10 times. I feel if Ash made more moral mistakes like wanting to win so bad once that he overworks his pokemon or something, it'd make the story alot more gripping, and add some feels. Simple things like that could go a long way for me.

My impressions of Witch Craft Works, Nobunaga the Fool, and Noragami.

Spoiler free!

These are 3 new titles this anime season, and i'm just going to give you my impression after the first episode.

TL;DR:

I like Noragami's first episode setup the best of the 3. Witch Craft Works isn't my cup of tea, but might be yours. Nobunaga the fool feels a bit confused, but could make out to be a great anime.

Nobunaga the Fool

Well, I read that this was a mech anime. And then the anime started and it looked like medieval times so I got very confused, however, suddenly I see them grab their swords and start mounting into the mechs, and I'm thinking, wow. That's some really cool and different mechs. I really don't get how they are in medieval-ish times, but have mechs. As far as the story setup, it was a bit hard to follow i'm not exactly sure where this anime is going to go. So I can't really tell you if it's going to be good yet. I can only tell you they haven't screwed it up yet. I'm going to give this one a few more episodes at least.

Witch Craft Works

This one is a bit strange to me so far. The action was really good, the characters seem pretty awesome, and it does give a bit of fan service it appears. I really like the background music, it's alot better that i've seen in most animes so far and I actually noticed it for once. I wish the enemies weren't all large robotic bunnies, but eh, it seems pretty cool. I think this anime has potential to decent. It does appear to be a bit of a humorous anime. I don't think this is my kind of anime, so I probably won't continue watching it.

Noragami

The animation in this one excluding the "phantoms" looks a bit better than average so far. The first minute got me interested pretty well. However, it quickly goes a bit downhill, going from extremely serious the first minute to almost making fun of itself the next two minutes. Then it took itself seriously again, and I felt right back to being absorbed in the story. So far it looks as though it's going to be a love story. I think i'm going to give this anime a few more episodes. It's got a pretty good start. This is probably the one I think that has the best potential out of the 3.
