Carole & Tuesday – Episode 1
What a lovely, lovely, lovely first episode.
What a lovely, lovely, lovely first episode.
Try Knights, I don’t think you tried at all.
This premiere works a strange alchemy, putting together story elements into something I honestly never would have expected to be my taste and combining them into something that I really enjoyed.
Arifureta’s poorly-realized edgelord aesthetic, ridiculous writing, and lack of anything truly offensive make it so there’s not much left to do but… laugh at it.
Watching HenSuki is kind of like being trapped in a half-hour conversation with someone who treats their special interest as a substitute for having a personality.
If this first episode is any indication, I’ve got a hell of a ride ahead of me.
Re:Stage! Dream Days, with its homoeroticism and apparent lack of male characters, will appeal to some. But the big-headed art looks weird to me, the jokes don’t land, and it’s all about as fresh as the stink of week-old tuna salad.
The Ones Within feels just like a mediocre adaptation of a good video game, but it skipped the step of the fun game coming out first.
Fire Force isn’t everything I was hoping for, but it is a ton of fun.
Blessed are we to live in this time of stories starring gross, funny, weird girls.
You ever bite into a dessert and think, “This is way too sweet”? This premiere is like that.
Minor costume design complaints aside, Astra Lost in Space is the first good anime to air this summer season. Hopefully these good boys and girls can find their way home.
I want 7 SEEDS to be good so badly that I can almost taste it, but the terrible animation and direction doesn’t make it easy.
Wise Man’s Grandchild is proof that isekai series have, by and large, gotten so foul that pleasant blandness is a welcome relief.
Cinderella Nine isn’t a touchdown, but I didn’t want to spike it into the dumpster either.
In a season swimming with mediocrity, AFTERLOST is the first true stinker of the bunch.
This is a perfectly serviceable shounen melodrama, but it moves a bit too quickly for its emotional beats to fully land.
I’m calling it now: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is going to be this season’s big hit.
It’s too early to tell a lot about this one, honestly.
The long-awaited re-adaptation is here at last.
