I'm still rewatching stuff. Decided to only post every few days so I don't clutter the topic.

Better than I remembered: Etotama is great. Nya-tan is hilarious, the CGI action works surprisingly well, and I love all the humor that breaks the fourth wall. This is a one cour anime that had a recap episode but they were so self-aware about it that I didn't even mind. I suspect they had the recap episode purely for the jokes! There's a lot of fanservice in this but it's always part of a gag, plus the way the main dude always no-sells it was funny to me. Etotama has the perfect example of how a generic main dude should be, he's just there to play off the zany personalities of the zodiac girls.

As good as I remembered: Sound of the Sky is great. I love how it hints at the supernatural. The bit in the first episode when Kanata sees the gigantic winged fossil sets the tone perfectly. I also love how this anime nails everything it sets out to do, whether it's serious moments or goofy slice-of-life.

Slightly worse than I remembered: Hitoribocchi is still good, but it didn't work as well as a binge. Hitori is fun, she's always making amazing facial expressions and trying her best. I like Nako and Aru a lot too. I'd never realized how repetitive ninja girl was, though. She spent multiple episodes in a row agonizing over the same thing. She even reached the same conclusion more than once and just forgot by the next episode, it was super weird. Hitori's old friend Kai is still the absolute worst, too. Luckily Hitori, Nako, and Aru were there to hold up the anime. I thought this was a way better shy girl anime than Komi, but now I'm not so sure.
