Finished The Faraway Paladin S1, and it is really a case of the positives outweighing the negatives. The fight scenes and animation were unimpressive, but I enjoyed the concepts of magic, blessings, and spirits. I don't think there is a single character that I liked individually, but their bonds and interactions resonated with me emotionally. I love that the first character Will meets after leaving his home isn't some waifu that falls in love with him or serves as an object for him to lust after (though I do ship Will x Meneldor). Since I have HiDive for the Fall season, I figured my next off-season show will be from there, so I picked After the Rain

On-season, I'm really enjoying it so far. Quite a few shows I'm actually looking forward to each week.

Still some other shows I want to try, but my plate is already pretty full. Only show I want to mention for now is Kingdom of Ruin. It's one of my lowest rated shows of the season - even below shows that I've dropped. It is over-the-top "edge for the sake of edge", and I don't think it is good...but I do want to see episode 2.
