Absolutely in love with this one. Ep3 was a disaster, but outside of that, for my tastes this is one of the best looking shows this season. The animation keeps reminding me of other shows. Eps 1 and 2 reminded me of Bocchi the Rock and Onimai at times. And then eps 4 and 5 have hit me hard with Akiyuki Shinbou vibes (Monogatari series, Madoka). Some of the key animators have worked on those shows but I'm a long way off from being able to spot specific animator's styles. Also, cheers to the yuri lovers - you get a great show.

So far they've done a significantly different animation style for each reincarnation including claymation and papercraft so the creativity has been delightful. The deadpan delivery of the godess has also consistently cracked me up.

I used a self-publishing service to print a physical copy of Ikoku Nikki using fan translations/scans. It wasn't cheap in terms of time or money but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Some gifs from eps 5/6.
