Season roundup

I finished or am close to finishing most things I'm watching. Only going over things that are done (or close to done)

Are You Lost?
-Not really my thing, I don't think the humor was kind of off and the fan service is like not quite where it's like I can watch it just for that. It's not awful but none of the girls really stand out in a way where they could take over the show.

Magical Senpai
-Pretty good. Senpai is great, good waifu potential. It's never that funny, but it's presented in a way that is very enjoyable. The show kind of reminds me of Dagashi Kashi except at being good and knowledgable at what the show is about the main character is an idiot.

Astra Lost in Space
-I thought this was great. They manage to develop a large cast of misfits and incorporate them into a story that is both interesting and not too out there. The show never takes you too far outside the realm of things that you feel could happen in the world they established. I found several of the characters pretty interesting to follow, even if some of their motivations (like the reporter dude) are used a little too much.

Dumbbell
-This is another good show that is kind of a step away from being great. I just think some parts of it just kind of lull a little bit too long, and I don't even mean the exercise tutorials. The latter episodes were in general better imo because things just got a bit more insane overall. It just goes from parts where I'm thinking the show is awesome to parts where I'm not sure I care that much. Hibiki is great.

UchiMusume
-I like this show, it's cute albeit kind of onenote a lot of the time. I don't know I think just as far as consistency goes it's always good and doesn't really stray that far from that. If you like it at the start you'll like it all the way through.

O Maidens in Your Savage Season (Minor Spoilers)
-I could say quite a bit about this, but it's like man all the characters in this show are either awful or just fucking dumb. Hongou is like the only character who, while not always the brightest, at least understood her shortcomings and tried to (in like probably among the dumbest ways possible) to do something about it. While everyone else kind of just moped around and felt sorry about themselves or just refused to do what solved the problem at the end anyways, fucking talk to each other. Some of the stuff I can understand, like glasses having trouble in her first relationship. But other things are just put in for unneeded drama. It's like they had to put every single possible plot point that could be stuffed into a show like this into the show. So things just kind of happen haphazardly and end pretty unsatisfactorily.

Takagi S2
-Imo, the only two characters that have a chance of having as much chemistry as Takagi and Nishikata are the mains from High Score Girl (where S2 is coming in the Fall). The show is pretty much the same form the first season, although I do think the situations are overall better. The ending is so good.

Re:Stage Dream Days
-I want to say that this show is so far down VRVs list or whatever that it doesn't pop up until i type in at least Re:S. This is an idol show and it's... weird. I don't know it's kind of like the cast acts a lot more like a Saturday afternoon cartoon cast than anything. It's kind they are really trying to focus on the moe side of the girls and they are idols too. The art style is great too, it's very cute. That said, the show is also not very interesting outside of the basic premise and presentation. I don't have a real sense of progression fo the group outside of major plot points. But it does seem like they kind of just check off boxes of things they need to get to.
