New themes are visually stunning, love the pop-up book style they went with. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Kuroshitsuji in the beginning but I’m pleased with CloverWorks’s vision for this adaptation. Super excited for this arc.

That introductory ojou-sama walk was so funny. I love the main cast of characters. Reiko is a lovable idiot, Kazamatsuri is ridiculous, and Kageyama is one hell of a butler. As expected, the VA performance will be my favourite part of this show.

This episode was so packed with fighting I’m a bit disappointed our tsundere MC didn’t even blush once. New themes are not so cool as the previous ones, sadly.

Not a bad first episode that shows what to expect further on. I feel like it will be an enjoyable watch and curious to see which story turns to be my personal tearjerker.

SPRING SEASON

Definitely watching:

• The Apothecary Diaries - more Maomao
• Aharen-san - I adore Aharen and Raido’s character dynamic
• Shoshimin - charmed me from the start
• Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc - enjoyed this arc in manga
• Kowloon Generic Romance - loved how atmospheric the manga was

High chance I’ll watch it through the end:

• Fire Force - want to finish this adaptation since I’m not planning on picking up the manga
• Wind Breaker - liked the characters, hope it improves (the theatre arc in the first season was a bit tiring)
• GQuuuuuuX - not missing mecha
• Lazarus - originals are worth checking out
• Aru Majo ga Shinu Made - witchy drama, the premise sounds interesting
• Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de - I’m here mostly for the main seiyuu trio, expecting a fun character dynamic

Will watch the first couple of episodes to decide if I’m sticking with it:

• Yaiba
• Witch Watch
• Anne Shirley
• Sword of the Demon Hunter
• Teogonia
• Zatsu Tabi
• mono
• Food for the Soul
• Apocalypse Hotel
• The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei
• Rock is a Lady’s Modesty
• The Too-Perfect Saint
• From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman

Every single episode makes me like Tsukasa even more. How is this possible? I’m glad Rio has warmed up to him. He’s even calling him ‘my coach’ now lol.
