poo poo I'm watching: Deca-dence is a no-brainer for my favorite premiere of the season. Yuzuru Tachikawa directed some of my favorite action anime of all time in Mob Psycho, and his talents are on full display here. Delightful protag, evocative setting, lots of interesting mysteries raised, exquisite production. A winner basically any way you look at it. The Great Pretender had me a little uncertain after episode 1, but I enjoyed episode 2 a lot more. The genre is far enough outside my usual wheelhouse that it'll have to hit almost perfectly to truly stay with me, but the early con-artistry has been fun, we're setting up some compelling character stuff, and the art style is vivid and intensely charming in its deliberate sleaze. Really refreshing to see something like this come out of Studio WIT after all my previous encounters with their work being shows with relatively dour and realistic art styles. Lapis ReLights was something of a pleasant surprise. I believe this is the studio's first outing beyond supporting other productions, and they're off to a pretty nice start. The material itself is nothing earthshaking, idol-adjacent SoL material in a fantasy setting with some magical hooks, but it's all presented charmingly enough to keep me on for now. Umayon - sure, I'll watch 3 minute chunks of Uma Musume characters being dumb, why not Houkago Teibou Nisshi - restarted after Covid delayed it out of spring. Similar to Lapis ReLights - nothing earthshakingly new as SoL fare goes, but it's got that DogaKobo sheen to it and that lends it enough charm for me to have a perfectly pleasant time with it thus far.

I had to rewatch like half of both episodes 1 and 2 to feel like I had a full grasp on some of the more logistic-y parts of the big twist, but I think I'm pretty onboard with what it's doing. And the visual direction of course remains top notch. Edit: Talking about DecaDence, to be clear Spiritus Nox fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Jul 15, 2020 |

Honestly my bigger concerns are that 1.) the show's lost an immensely talented director that I would expect even KyoAni to struggle to replace and 2.) I don't think Maidragon ever really needed a sequel to begin with. There's some solid stuff in the later manga chapters but nothing I'd expect to match or really add anything terribly substantial to the best parts of S1. Certainly nothing that really offsets the frustration of sitting through Kyou's grosser tastes, IMO.

It's not gonna dethrone Yurucamp in the annals of Comfy Shows or anything, but I feel like Houkago Teibo Nisshi has rounded into form pretty nicely over the last couple eps. I'm a lot more bought in on the character dynamics than I was initially and it's been very cozy overall lately.

It should be something to do with Wandering Witch, because I'm excited for Wandering Witch.
