Beheneko = Titty kitty up in dem tiddies. Like I said before, pure cheesecake and fan service. No surprises there.
Fruitmaster - The manga was the same way, if it's not your bag, that's cool.
Salaryman - Good start.
Izure Saikyou - Fun manga. Liking it.
Will watch Fate when I wake up.

Ok, watched 2 shows that came out today.
Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta - Starts off interesting enough. Girl tells guy not to say anything to their class. Then he monologues that he married her, but she's also his arch-nemesis. The class "hot girl" also has someone she likes, which I assume is the MC that married this other girl. It seems cute enough, but whatever. I'll give it 1 more episode before a final decision.
Sorairo Utility - 2 high school girls discussing their current plans. One is a gamer that doesn't seem to be able to do anything else. She sees some random girl play golf, and falls in love with the game. Seems very cute & slice of life. I'll give this a shot.

Here's everything from the weekend.
As with all of my other reviews, my color code is as follows:
Green = I'll watch it.
Yellow = I'll watch another episode and decide.
Red = Not interested.
Saturday:
NEET Kunoichi to Nazeka Dousei Hajimemashita - Sword girl saves wage guy from i-beams falling from a building. He was haunted by evil spirits, so she killed them. She comes up with a plan that she'll take care of all of them from now on, if he does something for her. That something turns out to be allowing her to move into his place and play with his video games. He's actually a better gamer, so she's always coming to him for help with games, but at least she kills the evil spirit things for him. I'm unsure if I like it or not, so I'll give another episode.
Solo Leveling - Great 13th episode. Season 2 is off to a strong start. Will watch.
Ao no Exorcist - Yosuga-hen - Something about time travel. Guy is watching his mother's difficult early life, and somehow she befriends the devil, which kills her parents (his grandparents) in a fire. She can see demons, so this group takes her in for nefarious purposes. There are multiple breaks during the episode, and each feel like the end of the episode, but then it just continues. I don't quite get this show, but it isn't terrible. I'll give it another episode.
Okitsura - Ok, this is about some guy moving to Okinawa and not being able to speak the historic Okinawaian language from before it was Japan. And the girl he likes only speaks that way. It looks slice of life, but I'm not going to give it a chance.
Sunday:
Shangri-La Frontier - I still love this show. New OP & ED with this episode.
Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi - The description sounds pretty lame. I'm not going to even try it.
Zenshuu - Some girl is an anime director, but she can't figure out her new story. She chokes on lunch and is suddenly in one of the worlds she created in the past. She keeps saying it's Isekai, but I think it's a pre-death hallucination. Nothing really wows me about the show, but at the same time, I like it. Will keep watching.

I just read that it's only releasing episode 1 as of now. The rest is coming "some time in 2025". So yeah... Guess Fate isn't on my list this season.

I binge watched BTTH on youtube. was very well done, of course being chinese they skipped -mostly- the Queen Medusa x Xiao Chen sex part. just a we are being affected by XXX....try to resist, eye contact..Oh no. fade to black next scene.... and she is pissed at him but doesn't do anything...fast forward to a few episodes from what has aired. there is -not sure if it will be in the show or not- a flashback to Medusa in the empire... spoiled for those that have not read the "book"
="and the scene their ~3-4 yr old kid in it since he has been gone for ~4 or so years"

Check out a mortals journey, the animation is B tier early on and a stark contrast from BTTH but it picks up and imo almost breaks even.
A Will Eternal is also superb and its actual 2D animation but sub groups suck on it
I’m steadily going through my playlist on YT and still have plenty of shows to go. Apotheosis is the only one I started and stopped so far. Can’t really explain why but I’m sure I’ll go back to it.
Seal of Throne had the best subtitles but took a bit to be okay with the 3D type used. Less detailed that BTTH or Mortal Journey.

I took one for the team and gave Kisaki ep 1 a go. Retarded kindergartners could draw better than whatever animation studio shit this abomination out. I'm sure there was an attempt at a plot, but it was copy pasta from the better princess stories of the past 5 years. The art was bland and every character had the same dead eyes.

The AI’s in Swallowed Star are some of the most ratchet hate filled characters I’ve ever seen in a show lol.
This story/show may trump all the other Donghua. Its rep is well earned, this show rekindled my enjoyment in being high and watching anime.
Music after S1 sweet af.
