It is time for the season, so this will be the first post in the thread.

I will be giving quick thoughts on the first episode, then speaking about it further on the Otaku in Review being recorded at the end of the month.

So keep an eye on this thread for updates.

Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don’t Believe in Humanity Will Save the World (Episode 1):

It's all setup for why they don't trust others. It was nothing amazing, and characters seem alright. There is potential here and I'll give it another episode or 2 to see if its worth watching to its completion.

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess (Episode 1):

That was great. I love me some Anisphia already. Her brother is a diiiiiiiiiiiiick. A yuri isekai with a really funny first episode, yet still had some good drama.

I can't wait for episode 2!

Tomo-chan is a Girl! (Episode 1):

This show feels like it should be way funnier than it is. I felt like every "punch" line just had me sitting here wishing I was laughing. I laughed all of twice this 1st episode.

It's not even that its bad, and I like the characters. It also looks pretty good. I just don't feel anything watching it. Maybe I give it one more episode, but its definitely on the fence.

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague (Episode 1):

Opening song is on point! Such a chill song.

This show is so cute. Komori is best girl already. Like the opening song, the show is just chill AF. So cute and fun.

I can get behind this so much. Also ending theme is fantastic also!

ONIMAI: I'm Now Your Sister! (Episode 1):

This show looks great in terms of character design, animation, color palette.

Its a little (a lot) odd with the premise, but has a good amount of genuinely funny moments.

I had a lot of fun with this 1st episode, definitely more than I expected

Public

Spy Classroom (Episode 1):

This first episode can only be described as underwhelming. Thought it would be more exciting, and It got a bit better at the end, but not by much.

Unsure if I will watch episode 2, so maybe I'll just check out the light novel one day instead.

The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World (Episode 1):

OMG This show looks like trash. Character designs are meh, the animation looks slow or disjointed.

7 minutes in and I dropped it. I spent most of those 7 minutes laughing my ass off at how bad it was. But then I decided if I had to look at one more face stuck in the same look for more than 30 seconds, I might go insane

@gnitro Sounds like my kind of show. I love hating things 😁😁

Public

@To I understand, as I do too... But there are too many shows this season to check out... So I tossed this aside after laughing for about 5 minutes straight

Public

@gnitro Fair. Sometimes a short laugh is enough. An example for me would be Ex-Arm. Yes, it was funny, but I couldn't watch more than two episodes.
