Yeah, the show has been pretty good, with the exception of the end of episode 1. Also the OP rules.

Honestly If I were to recommend it to someone I would just say skip last four minutes of episode 1, Episode 2 gets the point across anyway.

Also yes it's a very good OP. I think Vanitas's OP is the only one that rivals it for me this season.

Episode 4 of Dragon Maid was very good but I can't believe that Elma would make a play for Kobayashi like that.

Tohru was right to revile her.

Calling it now, Rin is a dead God walking. Pretty much the entire reason for the overpowered mentor trope is to introduce and world build newbie characters in a relatively safe environment. Then once the tension has been established and built up, remove the mentor from play to automatically and instantly skyrocket the stakes.

Well something that could make her less of an issue for the plot resolving itself is the fact that she seems to be kind of stupid. Like of the gods we have met in terms of Intellect Yesly is for sure the smartest, then Paula (Who seems to be a bit spacy, probably cause of the bird thoughts thing), then Rin, then Hayato.

Spirit Chronicles is a throughly acceptable isekai. Better than some really popular ones because the MC tells a character who asks to be enslaved by him to throw that goddamn collar away.

The OP is missing some of the characters that show up in the manga like Maou.

So they're either going to have a second OP later or not everything is getting portrayed.

Watched Magia Record's first episode and what the hell? Were they given a really luxurious budget or something? It looked loving great? I was ready to dunk on it since I thought the odd airing date meant they were running against the wire, but then they come out with frilly magical girls in sunglasses and a tuxedo, smirking as they throw Benjamins in the air. The heck?

sometimes, things have a delayed air date, in order to ensure they are up to a higher standard of quality

hell presumably the reason jahy was so delayed is cause its staff have been a bit understaffed cause a lot of them have been working on black company and they didn't want jahy to be a diasaster cause of that

also, magia record s2 is only 8 episodes long, so it can start four weeks late and still end with the rest of the season. idk if that factored into the delay but it's an interesting connection

Heeeeeey


Jahy is also a short season at 20 episodes, probably because there isn't enough manga to stretch out to a full 2 cour.

It's starting late and going to wind up in-line with the second cour of other shows at the half-way mark, isn't it? That would infer a divide between them to me and a place for a second OP.
