I like Maru and Kiruko more too but I wouldn't call the pace sluggish. I was actually surprised that the series didn't linger on "oooh, is there an outside world somewhere there behind this mysterious wall" but instead Tokio learned that right in the first episode.

My only (minor) qualm about Insomniacs is that the main heroine as the same face as the author's (Ojiro Makoto) previous works.

Here's Insomniacs After School


Their previous work Neko no Otera no Chion-san


And I think it's this one or the one before where they started giving her heroines the rounder faces and thicker eyebrows

Also he's grown several inches taller and now has washboard abs and is a super athlete but he broke his mirror at home so he still thinks people are staring at him because he's an ugmo, which was fun for a few minutes but it got annoying when it stretched on for several episodes. In the most recent episode he leapt out of a 4th story window and took on a biker gang (the leader's special fight move was MOTORBIKE ATTAKK) in front of the entire school so hopefully they'll move past the awkward "Uwu, do you really want to be friends with someone like me?" gag

Also they seem to be setting up an evil modelling agency manager as an ongoing antagonist which is pretty funny. :v:

Its such a shame, cause I checked the manga out of curiosity.

And the art in the manga...is actually pretty good. Alot more detail than other tech-battle mangas out there. And then the anime vomits all over that.

Sorry to be clear, I think this anime is genuinely good at the art is ridiculous on purpose specifically for these reactions.

Like the fight in this episode isn't the greatest piece of animation I've watched but it is way beyond what a lot of more generic shows do.

To be fair ex-arm wasn't a disaster cause the industry overworked and running too many shows but it was a disaster cause they hired a team that didn't get animation and treated it like live action.

the problem with the Megumin Konosuba spinoff is that if your a konosuba fan, you probably already seen the Konosuba movie with her village.
So you already know the whole deal about whatever mystery or deal with the sealed demon is in this season.

As did I. Also, for a show about a character that only casts Explosion and has the word "explosion" in the title, there's an extreme lack of explosions and explosion adjacent comedy .

I came for idiots and things being blown up for no reason, and the best we've gotten has been the village protection squad in a single episode.

Assuming that the LPGA stats include the rollout and not just carry, only 27 LPGA tour pros have an average drive over 270 yards this year with the longest being 285.85 yards. If the stats are carry only it's hard to tell because Birdie Wing seems to include the rollout which is heavily affected by the course terrain.

270 was world-class 40 years ago for male golfers which makes sense given the context of Eve's grandfather using it as a benchmark for "back in my day"

Eh, I'm still watching this garbage. All the surreal poo poo costs money to animate so there was always gonna be at least a few episodes where they skipped out on the animation budget. This was probably also the obligatory swimsuit episode.

i got to blue waving her rear end in the air before the race and the joke about the boy in the girl's swimsuit, which i'm pretty sure was ISN'T THIS SO WAAAACKY and not some attempt at insightful gender commentary given the show and his reaction, and bailed after that. felt like i liked what the show was in my head more than what it was actually giving me for more than half its runtime. like, yeah, it's a swimsuit ep, but it also felt like an indicator that i wasn't going to get much of what i wanted from it after ep 3 was also kind of lame.

Sadly, I'm going to give up on "Too Cute Crisis." While it's certainly possible for a one-joke show to spin things out into continuous entertainment (See "Sleepy Princess In The Demon Castle"), this show just isn't making it. The weaksauce animation is a big part of it, but the show as a whole just hasn't been putting in the work.

Meanwhile, after two episodes of "Sacrificial Princess and The King of Beasts," I think I'm comfortable in saying I'll be in it for the long haul. While the animation isn't that great (though vastly better than "Too Cute Crisis"), the story is a decent spin on "Beauty & The Beast" and the actors are doing a good job of it.
