Antarctica anime is extremely good. I thought gong in that it was gonna be a lightweight club show but nope, it throws around just the right amount of weighty stuff and it works really well.

It's a big mess of "what am I doing with my life" feels and "friends are hard" feels and I hope these girls have a good time with the penguins so much ;__;

I'm curious to see how heavy it gets when they actually get to Alaska. There's some obvious drama setup with the missing and very-definitely-not-frozen-to-death-mother, and you'd expect Antarctica to be at least a little dangerous. Probably won't get too serious beyond what they've already set up, but the show's already surprised me, so who knows

If they get to Alaska something has already gone wrong.

Well I mean, MiA is already starting to hint at backing down on the doom and gloom and bringing everyone back deeper in the abyss so maybe that's not super awful.

I'm really enjoying citrus despite how trashy it is. The plot feels very fast compared to what I'm used to for this genre and the main character is refreshingly proactive in doing poo poo

I put my faith in club leader Hinata Miyake. I have every confidence that she won't dash their hopes against the rocks simply because it is funny and/or interesting.

I think it's more that it's boring, rather than that it's stupid. The first episode was okay, buoyed more by a lack of especially egregious moments more than anything but the second episode didn't do anything for me so I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna bother with a third. I do like the bit of world building it did, showing how the fashion industry had changed thanks to technology and so on and I like that it wasn't afraid to have an episode with no conflict (but I might be thinking it's more of an action show than it intends) but the main character was a wet noodle the whole episode and there wasn't anything interesting enough to keep me watching.

The project's premise follows Kouta Hasegawa, a high school boy that loves the yellow Pom Pom Purin dog. By mere coincidence, he ends up attending the same school as Yuu Mizuno, a boy who likes the bunny My Melody. Yuu tells Kouta that there's nothing to be ashamed of for liking Sanrio's cute characters. Together, Kouta, Yuu, Shunsuke Yoshino, Ryou Nishimiya, and Seiichirou Minamoto learn to accept their love of the characters instead of feeling embarrassed.

The story is set in the distant future. The land is ruined, and humanity establishes the mobile fort city Plantation. Pilots produced inside Plantation live in Mistilteinn, also know as the "birdcage." Children live there knowing nothing of the outside world or the freedom of the sky. Their lives consist of battling to carry out missions. Their enemies are mysterious giant lifeforms known as Kyōryū, and the children pilot robots called Franxx to face off against them. For the children, riding the Franxx proves their existence. A boy named Hiro is called Code:016, and he was once known as a prodigy. However, he has fallen behind, and his existence seems unnecessary. Not piloting a Franxx is the same as ceasing to exist. One day, a mysterious girl known as "Zero Two" appears before him. Two horns grow out of her head.

Working part-time at a family restaurant as a recourse, she finds herself inexplicably falling love with her manager, a divorced 45-year-old man with a young son. Despite the age gap, Akira wholeheartedly embraces his mannerisms and kind nature, which is seen as spinelessness by the other employees, and little by little, the two begin to understand each other. Although unable to explain why exactly she is attracted to him, Akira believes that a concrete reason is not needed to truly love someone.

Other early season roundup of shows without threads:

Citrus - Named as such because every episode is like trying to eat a grapefruit with a spoon and some juice squirts out and lands directly on your eyeball, only the juice is rapey yuri, but sometimes you just have an urge to eat grapefruit, you know?

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san - This show is evil, pure unadulterated evil. I am so triggered by Nishikata's plight in the face of such overwhelming advanced teasing, I can't help but root for the poor kid.

Killing Bites - Coincidentally I'm watching Black Lagoon this season so I can't help but compare Revy to Honey Badger, let alone both shows to each other, and so far feelings are equal for both across the board. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan 2 - I can't express enough disappointment in how this show fell through the streaming/simulcasting cracks. Crunchyroll streams Gintama already, why can't they pick this up? :(

Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san - Just... just how many takes did they record of various slurping noises? :stare:

Takunomi - Another Cute Women Drinking Cute Alcohol show following up on LoveCock from last season. Good stuff, but viewer beware this one will make you hella thirsty.

Once you eat one really good fresh grapefruit, it will stay with you forever and always be in the back of your mind.
