Here’s some thoughts on what I’m watching this season for anime.

  1. Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!?
    1. I’ve been reading the manga for this one. Nothing insane as a story, but very cute.
    2. The opening song is REALLY good. Even as someone who doesn’t like K-pop that much, I REALLY find it appealing.
    3. Ichiji is my fav.
  2. Akane-banashi
    1. It’s been SO long since I cried in episode 1 of a show, but Akane’s father channeling his wife during the story got me somehow.
    2. Definetly works best as an anime, since character voices and mannerisms carry so well in this.
  3. Mistress Kanan Is Devilishly Easy
    1. I’ve been reading the manga for this one too. HYPER ecchi and raunchy, but they’re good at drawing hot ladies, so who am I to stop them?
    2. I was NOT expecting her to be voiced by Koga Aoi! The same voice as Kaguya-sama! Aristocrat tsunderes who crumple with a mote of affection (and have a gyaru maid bestie) seem to be her niche now haha.
    3. Honestly most of the VA styles were unexpected! Excited to see how this goes!
    4. The Ending Song, Pop Snack Junk Honey, is REALLY catchy!
  4. Witch Hat Atelier
    1. I think this is the first of the more popular recent fantasy anime that’s captivated me.
    2. the magic system is super fun! Love the little ways tools are made from it (the boots of flight, as an example)
