Robazoid 04/07/24 5:29:59 PM #208:	More first episode impressions: -Grandma and Grandpa Turn Young Again was absolute trash. After reading the premise, I had hoped that it would be a heartfelt story about a loving couple who get to do things together again. The very beginning teased them finally going on the honeymoon they never got to have back in the day, and I can imagine lots of comedic possibilities from something like that! Imagine them at some trendy beach surrounded by hip young people, only their sensibilities are 70 years outdated so they don't really fit in. That could be funny, and them still being very much in love would be cute too. Instead of doing anything like that, though, this is a comedy about how everyone wants to fuck them. Literally over half the segments in the first episode boiled down to "they're hot now". The granddaughter really, really wants to fuck her grandfather. The daughter-in-law wants to fuck her father-in-law. All the old geezers in town want to fuck young grandma. Ugh, it was awful. Even the few segments that weren't about their hotness weren't funny. Let's watch five minutes of them winning at various sports, that's hilarious right? What if we have an old guy, in front of his grandkids, badmouthing his dead wife because he always wanted to fuck young grandma instead? Ugh ugh ugh. I also hated how they kept their exaggerated old people voices even now that they're young again. I didn't think anything would be worse than Highspeed Etoile this season, but here we are. -As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World was fine. It's still an isekai and has all the baggage that comes with that like stat screens and awkward infodumping. Did I really need to hear all seven of the former kingdoms if the bottom line is "they're all one empire now"? Still, the premise is interesting and unique enough that I'm still interested in it. The main guy's power to see people's potential is cool. The setting, a corrupt empire doomed to fracture, reminds me of the Three Kingdoms era in China. If this is going to be about the main dude being a Liu Bei-type figure, gathering people of talent to conquer the turbulent times, then I'm excited for it. The first episode definitely gave me some hope. -Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night was surprisingly great! I really liked the story it told with the one girl's mural and how it brought the two of them together. More than the story, though, was the way it was told. Lots of creative uses of flashbacks, lots of dynamic angles, and really high production values all around. If it can keep up this quality the whole way through, this could easily rise in my ranking and become the best show of the season! I wasn't planning to check this out at all initially, but I'm glad I did.
