#parting thoughts

witch hat atelier: it is very good of course no one needs me to tell them that

yomi no tsugai: this is EXTREMELY my jam. asa you dweeby little brocon i love you so much. hana and dera, phenomenal. characters are excellent in typical arakawa fashion

wistoria s2: I NEED S3 RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. wistoria continues to be the most fun shounen of recent years. elfie i'm obsessed with you sorry about your male bride but that was hilarious

marriagetoxin: once again very good of course and no one needs me to tell them that. thrilled to see a second season announced already

nippon sangoku: SHOCKINGLY. ANIME OF THE SEASON. TO ME. i did not think anything would come close to wha but these two are like. neck and neck. they are basically on the same level of masterpiece to me, nippon sangoku with a slight arbitrary edge

haru no mai: listen i know i can't complain because i watched this knowing it is the genre that it is. however. it is far too heterosexual for its own good sorry

dorohedoro s2: STILL ABSOLUTE PEAK delighted by the plot-relevant subaru jumpscare. i'm always tempted to just go ahead and read the manga but i think i will continue to wait

kill blue: i expected nothing, checked it out just because i love knb, and WOW i was very very very pleasantly surprised. really fun and charming, not a must-watch by any means, but i found it really fun and i'm glad it got renewed

liar game: it really takes a while to get going. like it doesn't start off Bad or anything but the games have gotten progressively more interesting and thus more entertaining

akane-banashi: so ummmmm it's a really good sports anime and i'm enjoying it a lot in that regard but the rakugo isn't very good.........

nakamura: delightful. absolutely delightful. as expected

niwatori fighter: well i couldn't not watch the cock fighter show. it was fun! no regrets

my ridiculous reincarnation: alongside kill blue this is one of the BEST surprises of the season. genuinely one of my top... three? maybe? if i disqualify continuations. it is just such a cute and fun story made with such love for all these different forms of animation, legit one of the things i looked forward to most each week

kami no niwatsuki kusunoki-tei: cute and cozy! ultimately not my Favorite in this genre of, like, soft boy + yokai iyashikei. obiously that is forever natsume. but it was still enjoyable, i could use one of these like every two seasons at least

vending machine s3: they have completely sold me on the idea that a girl and a vending machine can fall in love. i'm shocked that this gimmick series got three seasons so quickly AND that they were legit all good. is it a masterpiece no but is it really fun yes absolutely

tadaima, ojamasaremasu: man this show really had fun jerking me around. for a bit it seemed like typical love triangle then seemed like it would go for the ot3 then went back to typical love triangle then back to ot3 potential. by the end of it i don't even care anymore these people all just kind of annoy me now

dandelion: no strong feelings about this one tbh it certainly isn't gintama. in fact it felt more like a sunrise buddy cop show to me, like taibani or double decker, but didn't really have the time to grow into itself. it was alright

kujima utaeba le hororo: i think this is my third pleasant surprise of the season, sometimes what a family (or a whole neighborhood) needs is a big bipedal russian bird to hold them together! and that's beautiful! charming series all around. suguru's arc was the most impactful to me, the drowning imagery at the start of that one episode was like phew. had no right to hit that hard out of nowhere

last boss: a super close runner-up for top 3 like. i could go either way on it and saihito tbh. really fun ride and i'm looking forward to s2 already

watatabe: OHHHHHH MERMAID CANNIBALISM YURI MY BELOVED this was great as its own thing but the best part of the experience for me was definitely watching it with an incredibly based mutual and screaming each week about the hitoramujakuness of it all

yano-kun: SOOOOOOOOO CUTE AMACHAN. AMACHAN!!! AMACHAN.........

shabake: really strong start and stayed good but lost me a lil bit along the way. like i never stopped liking it but it was just hmmmmmm actually no i don't think it ever got worse it's just other things got better and more gripping. anyway it's almost natsume yuujinchou flavored so that was nice

ginpachi-sensei: i'm still ??? at the sudden canonization of takesugi/zura like wh

one punch man 3 & tougen anki: not without their uhhhhhh let's say shortcomings. however the voice cast hard carries for me. sorry i'm weak

spy x family s3: adorable as usual

ranma s2: wonderful as usual

fumetsu 3: stressful as usual

snv s3: FUCKS HARD AS USUAL SORRY TO THE HATERS BUT I LOVE THIS SHIT YES EVEN THE ANIME ADAPTATION YES EVEN IF IT'S BAD SORRY!! IT'S MY JAM!!! brocon hades was a nice surprise. still does not outdo gyaru buddha however

toujima rider: unhinged in the same way as ninja to gokudou which i deeply enjoyed. i'm enjoying this too! though i would say that like. if one of these got 2 cour i kind of wish it was. ninja and not. toujima. but anyway. i'm not mad about it, it's a ridiculous and fun series

debulove: ok jesus christ sorry but what the fuck even happened in this. GOD. i'm not completely mad at it bc like it was kind of fun and i really enjoyed the workplace shenanigans parts but like HAS IT FORGOTTEN THAT IT'S A MURDER MYSTERY BASICALLY. i just. a whole cour. and there was barely any movement on the plot. and i'm not invested enough to follow the story in the manga so i guess. whatever. the developing friendships are imo way stronger than the romance. anyway

imouza: "i will punch you in the womb tattoo to shut you up" is going to be staying with me for a while

tondemo skill s2: still fun and adorable!! this man and his giant dog dog husband and their adorable slime child will have my attention forever and ever!!!

towa no yuugure: hm. hmm. i mean. hmmmmmm. ultimately kind of ridiculous and not in the best of ways but i do like the poly that's baked into the world setting. ending doesn't feel fully earned imo like we could have used a more time in the final bit i think. overall still kinda fun tho

egatae: really fun and cute! imo the first episode and last episode were the strongest and most memorable, middle was all fun and enjoyable but i think will not stick with me much

si-vis: y'all i straight up forgot to keep watching this one after the first like three weeks. idk if i'll finish it. in theory the premise sounds like it would be right up my alley but in execution it was somehow just...... incredibly boring to me
