Finally got around to watching that Dr. Stone show people have been going on about. A bit annoyingly light at times, but it's heart's always been in the right place. Very weird seeing science like shonen powerups. As Goku is to martial arts, Senku is to science. The show makes me believe that if he wanted to, he could build a stone age time machine and somehow be the instigator of the plot.

Last few episodes had me thinking about how they were possibly going to 1. finish the thing they were going to make and 2. use the thing for what they wanted to use it for.

Then the last episode happened and it could not have been a more beautiful of a way to wrap the season up.

Guess I'll have to check out the manga now XD

Especially after the first 5 or so episodes felt like it was going to get thematically rich, but hey it's still pretty good.

hmmm I guess I would say BNA even if the first 6 episodes didn't blow me away. Kaguya season 2 right behind. And now this Listeners one.

Oh I have to check out Gleipnir after a friend told me about the manga and how utterly ridiculous it sounded. Will either be amazing or a trainwreck I feel.

Gonna reorganize my thoughts here.

Wave, Listen to Me - frontrunner so far, love at first site.

Listerns - Promising start, but I have a very complicated relationship with Dai Sato productions and this is ALREADY apeing Eureka Seven a whole lot, I don't think he's ever gonna have a show swell up like that again.

Tamayomi - Pretty dissapointing, not a very interesting first episode at all, and the show doesn't look very good, nothing close to its excellent promotional images.

Glepnir - so, I get that the look and premise is pretty ridiculous, but this seems very well put together and I'm very interested. Just being ridiculous in an action show isn't good enough, yeah it gives you that edge for the first couple episodes, but it doesn't have staying power. Darwin's Game last season is a good example. I FEEL like this may not fall into that trap, but only the future will tell. Be aware it's a bit Fanservice.

Arte - exactly the kind of show to draw me in to champion for a few episodes because nobody watches it, only to drop myself a month in. I'm gonna stick with it for the moment, though!

Gal and Dinosaur - This just sucks. Seen people say it's PopTepic like, and the people saying that are very, very bad people. This is boring and shitty, and would have struggled as a 5 minute short. OP is great though.

Digimon 2020 - This is really good?? It's less a remake and more a rebuild, it is NOT following the plot of the original, but it's the same world and characters. Also seems to be pulling in plot from the first movie right away based on the ending, can't imagine where that's gonna go. Like, I'm not gonna pretend it's incredible or not still a kids show, but it's good enough that somebody with zero knowledge or nostalgia could check it out and be impressed.

Tower of God - there was some questionable direction and editing here, but I think I get the hype. It's a strong hook, looks great, and sounds INCREDIBLE. What a fucking soundtrack.

Kakushigoto - if you liked SZS you'll probably adore this. I certainly though it was pretty good. I just don't think I'm super here for this guy's stuff, though.

Villainess (what's the shorthand for this show?) - Now this is a good time! This show has the rare quality of an plot based dramedy where by the end the first episode my prevailing thought was "I absolutely HAVE to see this through". The lead is super fun, and even without any attachment to the genre it's pushing against I didn't have any problem getting into it.

Yesterday - the Doga Kobo gamble. Stands out a lot in the current anime climate, feels like something from the past in a good way, which technically it is. While not the best as an actual episode compared to some others this season, it's the one that has me the most invested from a story standpoint. I could see myself reading ahead in the manga depending on how the plot goes.

BNA - Netflix jail, doesn't count.

I was all ready at exactly the 10 minute mark to make a post here saying "I was really liking this UNTIL", after a certain part of a scene which will be incredibly obvious. Then I just decided to stick it through and I can't deny how much I liked it, so I held my tongue.

From what Ive seen the villainess show is called Bakarina by the fans because the main character is Katarina, and shes an idiot.

No idea if theres an actual or official shorthand for it

I would embrace that for sure, though I was wondering if it had an actual shorthand like Konosuba or Bofuri. If it does I'm sure it will pop up soon enough.

Boy, is Princess Connect ever the most I've ever been thankful for my push to give just about every show in a season a chance, because it sure heck is one of the best shows of Spring and it I sure as heck would never have given it a shot in a million years before.

Well, maybe if I had known ahead of time it was the Konosuba director.

I just noticed Endeavor's fanboy is literally Natsu.

Was that in the manga? Horikoshi shouting out Fairy Tail of all things?

That's just it though, even if a bunch is done, they won't start airing if they don't think they can finish!

Kaguya also has the same fallback plan as SNAFU of just reairing S1.

Snafu's ep 1 already had a pre-air, so it's not like that makes a difference.

It would be hard to argue that ReZero and SNAFU were #1 and #3 on the general hype scale for the season. If the #2 Kaguya doesn't make it....it might be, in terms of popularity! Theres always Tower if God, we'll see how that goes. Crunchy is pushing both hard.

I mean, there's still SAO, but...yeah...

Couple more shows finished.

Welcome to Demon School, Iruma was mostly pretty good. It was good when it was focusing on humor, and not so good when it was trying to be serious. The arc with the guy trying to blow up the school was bad. The idol stuff near the end was dumb too. Other than that, funny and good.

Also finished Somali and the Forest Spirit. I wish I liked this more, but it kinda felt like it was missing something. The stuff about the conflict between humans and other creatures got pretty tiresome pretty quickly, and I would've liked more powerful emotional stuff that worked. Uzoi and Haitora's story was probably the highlight I think. I did like it overall - the relationships between the characters were good, Somali and Golem were both fun characters, the comedy worked, and the emotion of it was solid in general. But it's similar to some shows I loved, so it's a shame it wasn't just a little better.

Tower of God is a lot more appealing after episode 2. Gives off some major HxH Hunter's Exam vibes. Very excited to progress, and starting to see why people were so excited for it.

Hmmm yeah I just can't get behind Kakushigito. I just don't gel with Kumeta's stuff.

It's clearly good if you like his work, but...I didn't make it through episode 2. I guess I just feel like all the jokes are super obvious? It wasn't funny to me at all.

This is part of the HxH comparison for me, it's a wild cast, with normie to balance it out, like Knuckle Kuwabara.

Anaak is already a fav.

I imagine it's because it's way more difficult for them to break out, so they try to mass appeal as much as possible.

Tower of God shines a ton in character art by epsisode 2, though.

Tamen de Gushi still #1 on the manhwa from, unbeatable.

Manhwa is Korean originated.
