Finished two more airing shows, one good and one terrible.

Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari was the good one! It was a great mixture of fun moments, compelling characters, action scenes, and interesting supernatural ideas. It wasn't perfect. I personally would've liked more opportunities to get to know Botan given how central she is to everything. Still, I liked the various tsukumogami, and Hyouma himself was a good dude. I'm glad this has already been confirmed for another season, because I'm excited to see more.

Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire was absolute garbage. Inglis is one of the worst characters I've ever seen. The setting itself was trash, as was the political landscape. I mean, over-the-top evil people live on floating islands and regularly come down to abuse the surface dwellers, and yet the group fighting back against them are the bad guys?!? It was terrible, but Inglis herself made everything worse with her shitty attitude. She refused to engage with what little plot or setting there was. All she cared about was fighting people. Like, there were multiple points where people she was supposed to care about were in grave danger, and she was all "lol I don't care, I just want to fight strong opponents". I wanted to reach into the screen and slap her at multiple points, especially during the final episode which was pure cringe from beginning to end. This anime was by far the worst show of the season. The art style was also incredibly off-putting, especially the way they smiled. This show truly had nothing going for it.
