early season thoughts
ACCA: has potential, but it had a dull start and it's really hard to tell whether it'll actually go anywhere interesting, I'll probably go back and watch if it turns out good
Akiba Strip: could see dropping this one, it's not awful but it's generally been just barely entertaining enough to keep watching
Chaos;Child: the VN is supposed to be really good (it's rated almost as high as Steins;Gate) but so far I get the feeling the adaption is really rushing, probably not worthwhile
Demi-chan: light and pretty consistently fun so far
Fuuka: so far it's been sinewaving between decent and really bad dated harem cliches. I'm halfway only watching this because I've heard the manga made people super mad or something and I'm curious to see what it does.
Gabriel Dropout: Dogakobo doing what they do best.
Maid Dragon: Kyoani doing what they do best. Actually, a lot of the jokes fall kinda flat but it still works alright as a slice of life show.
Hand Shakers: the first episode was a snoozer that was a visual clusterfuck and the second was just a regular snoozer. Pretty disappointing given that it sounded like "K except not as gay" which I would've been totally down for
Idol Jihen: I want to like this, it's a stupid concept that could make a great comedy (see Keijo) if the writing was better, but it's just not there, it's stupid and not in a funny way
Konosuba s2: it's great
LWA: also great
Kuzu no Honkai: not huge into drama but this is well done. kinda difficult to watch, albeit intentionally
Masamune-kun: a lot of fun, the premise is dumb but the main character trying to be a super suave playboy and generally failing is entertaining for the most part
Seiren: basically another Amagami, which means it's probably going to be 4 episode romantic arcs which are decently entertaining and have some interesting fanservice, which I'm down for.
Urara Meirouchou: kinda ho-hum cute girl show and the other material it's focusing on (fortune-telling) isn't super interesting
Youjo Senki: stupid premise and really ugly designs aside, this does have some potential.
Tales of Zestiria s2: Not caught up on this yet since I only started watching the first season recently, but it avoids one of the major problem video game adaptions have (low budget, it looks great courtesy of ufotable) so that's something
Granblue Fantasy: kinda interested since this is by the same original creators as Bahamut, basically the only good mobage anime, but the first two episodes were pretty generic and it's by A-1 instead of Mappa. The rest of the show got delayed to Spring so we'll have to wait until then.
