Solo Camping for Two – Episode 1
You’ll wish you’d checked into anywhere but this lackluster premiere that features the two most irritating people AND a sexual assault threat for comedic effect.

This might collapse into a harem show, but right now it’s nice to see the focus on making each sister distinct and highlighting their bonds from the start.
It’s “part time girlfriend” premise is fun and joyously silly, but its frenetic pacing might not be for everyone.
Food Court takes us truly back to basics for a “girls doing stuff” anime: no club setting, no central hobby or special interest, just girls hanging out and shootin’ the breeze.
This premiere injects a healthy does of fun into what easily could have been a too silly premiere, resulting in one of the season’s strongest debuts and also, another fear on my list: kitty-pocalypse!
The only ugliness to be found is in Shigeru’s volcel actions and this premiere’s treatment of his body and physicality.
One young man finds himself in another world in a grounded premiere that doesn’t overpower him, but instead, empowers him to do right by some of the fantasy world’s most downtrodden.
A supernatural comedy that’s probably only going to click with a very niche audience.
A lot of the shine comes off this rather sweet premiere when you realize it’s setting up a romance between a 13-year-old and an 18-year-old.
Dive into the dark underbelly of a world where living past twenty is a huge achievement in a premiere that’s engaging right from the start.
Gachiakuta is an angry show, but it’s not yet clear whether it has a goal or will fall into aimless edgelord exploits.
Bad Girl will make a good girl out of any viewer due to being pretty charming yuri fun.
If you loved Nichijou, this creative reunion is largely more of a good thing..
This is a really engaging hobby show, which makes the random intrusive fan service even more annoying.
The Summer Hikaru Died is without a doubt worth your time–and I highly recommend it for anybody interested in horror, queer storytelling, experimental animation, or just good anime generally.
Surreal yet chill show about a very, very normal dog(?).
This premiere is a roll of the dice on whether or not you’ll find yourself enjoying one man’s treasure or if you’ll find that this murder comedy is one person’s trash.
It’s a harmless romantic fantasy, but its broad melodramatic writing feels squarely for middle-schoolers.
Boy remeets Girl, Friend turns to Enemy, and eveything kind of collapses in a romantic comedy that feels more like a horror story than anything else.
