I'm watching/checking out Sangatsu, Inuyashiki, Just Because!, Kekkai Sensen, Kino, Konohana Kitan, Children of the Whales, Girls' Last Tour, and Urahara.

That's way more shows than I thought I'd be following this season.

Ancient Magus Bride is going to be great but I'm not going to watch it since it's just going to be adapting manga chapters I've already read.

hot take but the anime original stuff in bbb owned even if it wasn't perfect and i would have liked it less if white wasn't in it because she was a really fun character who served a really interesting role in leonardo's arc

black wasn't a great villain on his own but the actual idea behind the anime original stuff in bbb was fine and led to some great scenes

:same:

BBB s1 was good in large part thanks to the anime original stuff and I'm glad it was in.

You can make 99% of proper cocktails at home, you just need to own a handful of common spirits and mixers. Just adding milk to whisky or Kahlua isn't making cocktails. :v:

Here's my first episode trip reports:
  • Urahara looked great and seems like it might be pretty decent;
  • Girls' Last Tour is pretty good, chill post-apocalyptic slice of life but I'm not super sold on the character designs;
  • Just Because! had a great first episode and I kind of hope it continues to just focus on the ensemble cast's daily vignettes and doesn't try to make everyone hang out together for no reason;
  • Konohana Kitan is cute, but the first episode lacked substance, and I hope that's only because it was the introductory episode, and not because the show is just going to be purely episodic.

Did I imagine it or did the subs refer to Kino as "he"?

They definitely do, but that's consistent with Kino using "boku." I guess there's probably some people who don't know there's ambiguity there since it's a new series so they wanted to preserve it.

The first episode of BBB s02 owned, I'm glad the show's back.

Caught the first ep of Ancient Magus' Bride today. Not sure how I feel about it yet - but to be fair I don't think the show wants me to be sure how I feel about it yet. Chise and Elias' relationship/romance is obviously going to be the key to the whole thing, but however Elias conducts himself at home, the fact that their relationship started with him buying Chise at a slave auction means they're going to have to write this thing very carefully indeed.

The manga is great so the show will probably also be good.

I don't care how rough the animation gets, because I really like the world- and character-building so far.

I just hope it manages to run the full cours. :(

Konohana Kitan is good. Urahara is good. Just Because is good. Kekkai Sensen is good.

It's a fantastic season and I've not even had the time to watch the new Sangatsu episode yet.

What 10 shows are you watching that are better than this?

Girls' Last Tour, Kino, Just Because, Konohana Kitan, Urahara, Children of the Whales, Kekkai Sensen, Sangatsu and Blend S.

All of them are really good, the only one I'd consider dropping is Girls' Last Tour because I suspect I'd enjoy that more in manga form.

But fine, I'll watch the drat MMO show.

It's good! There's that stuff but it's romance too, it's sort of like Kamisama Kiss in that regard.

As an example if you do not eat an orange because you don't know oranges exist have you made the decision to not eat an orange?

This example doesn't make sense because Land of the Lustrous is a work of fiction that is authored by a human being who is aware of the concept of gender, and also oranges.

Has anyone been keeping up with Children of the Whales? I watched the first three episodes but it just wasn't gripping, and I'm considering dropping it - were the last two episodes any good?
