Fastest Finger First was pretty bad. I like the "sport anime, but about a weird sport or niche hobby" in general, but FFF is too middle-of-the-road so far to be interesting right now. The show does seem vaguely aware of how ridiculous its premise is, but at the same time it is too sincere to really sell it. I don't know, it might become interesting if they start dialing up the ridiculousness in later episodes, during the inevitable tournament arc. The somewhat unique voice of the main girl's VA was pretty cool, but her hammy acting wasn't. Someone else please keep watching this and report back to me in two months or so if it got any better.

Knight's [sic] & Magic is the most superfluous isekai ever. The real-world part takes all of two minutes and only establishes that the MC is a genius programmer, and then he gets hit by a car and is reborn as a six year old boy in a fantasy world with giant robots. The only time the isekai aspect is brought up after that in the first episode is when the MC is studying magic and goes, "Ah yes, this is just like Java". They could've easily skipped the isekai setup without losing anything, but I guess that's what sells light novels these days. Stupid isekai trappings aside, this was actually pretty enjoyable. The robots look cool, the character design is cute, the story is super generic fantasy fluff, but in a good way. This looks like this season's WorldEnd for me, including the delightfully terrible fantasy names.

Cleanliness Boy! Aoyama-kun was actually really good! I was wondering how they could stretch a single joke ("sports guy, but he doesn't like dirt") into a whole episode, let alone an entire season. To be honest, I'm still wondering that, since I felt that the first episode drained that particular well pretty thoroughly. Still, the first episode had a lot of energy and good comedic timing, including a couple of non-neat-freak-related jokes that made me laugh out loud. This series looks like it'll get a lot of mileage out of its absurd side-characters (like abs guy and butt boy), so it might still be funny after the titular joke wears off. It feels like a cross between Sakamoto and Tanaka-kun with a light sports anime sauce, so watch it if you enjoyed either of those shows (which you should).

I wanted to dislike Clean Freak just because the concept is tooooooooooooooo much. But the show is so good it even acknowledged that by the end. Also abs man and the generic lead were great.

I think Aoyama-kun could be really fun if it's more of a sports show and less of a gimmick show and just uses the character quirks for quick jokes and not the entire substance of the show which it kinda looks like it's doing but hard to say after just 1 ep.

Probably this (MAL).

Supposedly it has an extended "uncensored" version for web viewing after the TV broadcast, but the servers crashed under the pressure or whatever. Can't miss out on the nipples, now, can you.

I was curious about this Aoyama-kun and I took a peek at the MAL page, and did the casting director just go "Let's get every popular Seiyuu from the mid-90's to the mid-00's that we can get" or something? So, if it's good, I'll give it a go.

I've been meaning to watch it, but to be honest I can only remember like two characters' names.

I only remember Gouda because he's named after the cheese. The anime color-coded all the hair colors of the characters so they are easily recognizable.

Yeah.

But the only thing I really care about is if that girl gets to support Aoyama

I liked Aoyama the Clean Freak, abs and all. Hard to say whether it will hold up for 12 episodes, but it's off to a good start.

I no longer care about Aoyama, Dive is much better. Also it's very gay. Like, not in the way that all sports anime are a little gay because they're about sweaty muscular men having passionate relationship with each other, the main character of Dive is genuinely gay.

Is it more or less gay than Yuri on Ice?

Aoyama should stay as tangentially related to sports as possible, because it seems stronger as a gag show.

I haven't seen that, but I wasn't joking, the main character of Dive is gay. Not in a sports anime way, like, in a genuine real life way

Sounds like Yuri on Ice then. Rangpur wasn't joking either i'm guessing.

the PV does not inspire confidence overall, but some shots at least give me an idea of what a well-executed show with that style might look like. so hopefully it comes across better as actual episodes.

I'm five minutes in and the MC is already ignoring a cute girl flirting with him in order to think about diving.

Dive!!'s first episode is similar to Yuri on Ice!!'s first episode in that it's leaving a lot of blatant "he's gay!" hints but there's definitely not any kind of coming out moment. Just because he's not in love with his gf doesn't make him gay lol.

I did enjoy it though. I hope dive boys are the new bike boys.

Dive seems good so far. Main kid has a serious crush on his senpai and I hope he figures it out.

I'm honestly not sure who that show's aiming to sell itself to, tbh. Most "serious" Girls Love fans I know actively hate the premise, and at 12 10 minute episodes it's not like it's really leaving itself a lot of room for strong writing to make up for anything. Meanwhile it doesn't sound like it gets porny enough to really compete with actual porn.

But then, I suppose when they're only making under 2 hours of it for a whole season they probably don't need to sell a lot to turn a profit.
