What if I skip to the part where I just mute it because I don't care

I know exactly what scene that first shot in particular is referencing and I'm really looking forward to seeing it animated. Hopefully the long wait means that the staff has a generous schedule and we'll get an even more polished product than S1.

Kinda where I'm at on it. I enjoyed it a lot as I watched but it's not something I find myself thinking about a lot or expect to go back to for the forseeable future.

Kakushigoto wasn't on my radar till I saw some friends get into it, but yeah that first episode's a real knockout.

Bakarina's adaptation seems pretty good, conveys the charm of the original manga very well. The staff apparently finished work on it a couple of weeks ago, so hopefully that means we're in for a pretty consistent baseline of quality.

Teibou is pretty rote in general so far, and there were a couple of jokes in the middle I kinda groaned at, but it's got that nice Dogakobo production sheen so I'm giving it at least a few eps.

Covid delays starting to hit this season - wonder how many currently airing shows we'll see get pushed. Worst-case scenario I wouldn't be surprised if it hits everything but finished/nearly finished projects like Bakarina, Yesterday, maybe Brand New Animal

Spiritus Nox

Yeah most of what I've heard about the ongoing delays is that dubbing is a bigger problem at this stage than the actual animation itself.

One of those ProZD skits where he takes the piss out of a JRPG but it's a full anime

I'm pretty sure past seasons have had anime in the can months before their final episodes aired. Gridman made a big announcement about being completely done in November, while the finale didn't air until December 23.

It happens occasionally - the Bakarina anime is already finished right now, for instance, and I think Sing Yesterday To Me is also supposed to be close - but it's rare enough that unless you have firm evidence to the contrary you should assume any given show is coming down to the wire.

Wait is this the delayed film?

No, this released last year. The Violet Evergarden movie got delayed. Pretty sure it's just a broadcast delay, too - I was under the impression that the movie itself was finished or close to it even before Covid hit.

I finished Brand New Animal. It waaaaaaaaaaaas...fine? Main character's a delight, animation has the great liveliness you expect from Yoshinari, it's definitely a solid show, but the writing's pretty wonkily paced and frays around the edges in ways that stop it from getting an A grade IMO - though I certainly wouldn't say there's anything I found to be disastrous the way I've heard, say, Kill La Kill described before. B+ IMO.

Are there any other surprisingly good shows like this one this season? I know a lot of them are on hiatus for now but since I finally have some loving time off work I want to put it to good use.

Kaguya-sama is a very good romcom, emphasis on the comedy.

Yurucamp and Non Non Biyori airing in the same season. That will bring dangerous levels of Cozy.

According to people who read the novels, Bakarina gets worse after the events of the first series though....

It's definitely something I'm concerned about, but from what I've read, I don't think it's by any means unworkable, especially given that S1 seemed quite willing to embellish and outright invent original content. The main challenge they'll have IMO is preventing the gag of Katarina's denseness/inability to make any sort of actual romantic progress from getting stale - it's already kinda getting there.

I enjoyed Whisker Away well enough. Not one of my favorites or anything but the script is cute and functional enough for a really strong production effort to carry things through. Studio Colorido's putting together a nice little streak lately.

I feel like President's only shown up...a couple of times? So there's that, too.

I 'unno Nagatoro's not transcendant or anything, it's got very little depth IMO and it'll need a really lively production to be really worthwhile, but it's something I consistently look forward to reading even if it rarely stays for me very long afterwards.

Yeah I'm enjoying the novels a lot and I really like what I've seen of the anime character designs, hope it all comes together well in motion.

Really surprised at how much mileage that show's getting, really didn't strike me as the type to survive this long.
