I've hit the 3rd ep for all of the things I'm watching (except for 1 but shhh). Crazy.
As per the rule, I guess I'll write down my thoughts for them now.
Atarashii Joushi;
Fun and heartwarming in a very tame sort of way. It reminded me of CDD a lot in the first episode, but I feel like it's really making itself stand out now.
Also, the 3rd ep made me cry. wtf.
Bullbuster;
Very interested to see where this goes with the island plot. I like the touch of realism for how the company operates.
Kataoka is actually my fave character so far just because he has such a strong presence, lmao
Dekoboko Majo;
It's your standard over the top gag anime (which I like! it's just stupid silly fun) I do like the allusion to a deeper plot though
Hypmic;
I already loved Hypmic and I never even expected another season, so I already feel spoiled. I love how they're weaving all the divisions into the ongoing plot, it's actually done pretty well? Though the anime original group (TBH) feels a bit jammed into the story, but it's only natural when you've got something with a plot like hypmic (that's already jammed full with contrivances, lmao)
Also, Dotsuitare Homos episode when? (probably next week. yippeee ^u^)
Kamierabi;
It's starting to become apparent with the 3rd episode that the plot in this show. Might not be that great. But I love death / high stakes games, even if they're kinda shitty.
The animation isn't nearly as bad as everyone wants you to believe though.
Kamonohashi Ron;
Ron he is so sillay <3 I love detectives, I love buddy teamups, this is a winning combo in my book. Their banter is super manzai-like though, very dry / reaction based humour. Which I think is funny but not when overused (is this show overusing it? not rlly as of now thankfully).
Also, very intrigued by what the hell happened to Ron
Kawagoe Boys Sing;
Uhhhh this only has 2 eps rn but the 2nd one was already so much better than the first. I love IT kun and Otome kun, excited for the rest of the cast to be introduced
Ok I've seen the 3rd one now and in the very first sentence from Adachi I heard it was Kimura Subaru. I'm so happy he's here!! It was a good call to get him for this show since he's a great singer (in English too so it was nice hearing him in the ed this time!)
Just an aside I actually think it's really nice how cool everyone is with all the weird quirks the characters have. Like, they consistently see Otome's feminine traits as a genuinely cool thing, and it's such a breath of fresh air compared to other shows
Migi to Dali;
This is def up there as my fave this season, I loved Sakamoto so I'm super happy that Sano san's other work got adapted as well. May she be freer where she is now.
Her strange brand of humour will forever be one of my faves, and having it mixed with a mystery this time is like a dream come true
Undead Unluck;
I'm watching this one w my brother and I'm glad, it's exactly the kind of stuff we tend to watch together. The animation for this one goes crazy hard btw.
Watashi no Oshi;
I wasn't feeling the first 2 eps all that much (they were funny and had a few good moments, but they weren't fantastic or anything), but goddd the third one was so good... and the 4th was really funny.
I'm enjoying this one more and more each week :) also the op is super catchy
Yonkyoudai;
This one is really sweet, I love the usage of different animation styles to evoke certain emotions, and the way it often mimics children's drawings works so well for this story.
I get all teary eyed watching this one every time...

ONE and Studio Bones were so funny for how they handled Mob getting hit by that van—specifically with Mob saving the cat from being run over at the same crosswalk like ten seconds beforehand. Because as the audience, when we see that he saved the cat and breathed a sigh of relief, not only does it signal to our minds that the danger has passed, but our brain is also like “Yeah. Surely there’s not going to be a second car. That’s ridiculous. The danger is definitely over.”
But then the scene doesn’t cut like we subconsciously thought it would. And the camera keeps lingering on this moment that’s supposed to be unremarkable. And it starts looking suspicious because there shouldn’t be a reason the audience would need to accompany Mob on a silent and boring walk. It’s almost like the audience is hostage for a few seconds; we keep expecting to be released into the hands of the next scene but we’re stuck in this quiet limbo moment.
AND THEN THE SECOND CAR CRESTS THE FOCAL HORIZON.

(The way he looks at her makes me want to fucking die. She’s calling him an asshole straight to his face and he’s all hearteyes, I’m UNWELL)

all of my tv writing teachers harped on the rule of three. if something happens once, twice, then it needs to happen three times because three is a pattern. (because, “a trio of entities such as events or characters is more humorous, satisfying, or effective than other numbers.”) because three is a triangle.
so, next week’s episode against man city has to be emotionally devastating for jamie. i’m almost certain we’ll see his father again. because it’s the rule of three. it’s the locker room scene in 1x10, and 2x08. it’s the combination of man city, and jamie’s father and it’s about measuring his growth and i cannot wait.

...why is the dragon in the center of the frame? Why is Mei's ancestor in the center of the frame?
Does the fourth ring have something to do with Mei?
