Shorts / Kids Shows: Skipping
44. Chainsmoker Cat
Couldn’t get past the first thirty seconds… Absolutely disgusting.
43. The World’s Strongest Rearguard
Felt completely soulless.
42. My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren’t Wicked
Happy families. Ugh. Don’t care.
41. The Oblivious Saint Can’t Contain Her Power
This was just painfully awful in every way… Zero subtlety.
40. Tomb Raider King
Ugh. How dark and cool. Not.
39. Let’s Go Kaikigumi
Sometimes I just don’t understand Japanese humor. Also, it’s shallow, but I can’t get past how ugly this looks.
38. The Insipid Prince’s Furtive Grab for the Throne
It feels at times like it has a good idea, but then it’s always betrayed by the terrible execution. Couldn’t stand this.
37. The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Roadtrip in Another World
This felt so half-assed in every way…
36. Iron Wok Jan!
This was exhausting. Chill people. Try enjoying food and not being assholes.
35. Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life
A “comedy” about the demon king and hero reincarnating in the modern world. Not funny at all.
34. I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand
Usually a first episode will leave you with a hook to look forward to in the next episode. This show thoroughly convinced me that its best parts were already past.
33. The Ogre’s Bride
Ugh. I hate romances like this.
32. Please Excuse My Younger Brothers
I don’t care at all.
31. Mebius Dust
Magical children play capture the flag. How edgy.
30. Dara-san of the Reiwa Era
Children bully a god of misfortune. Eh, don’t care.
29. The Villager of Level 999
I confess I was low-key enjoying this until the very end, when the girl who looks like she’s five asked the main character to marry her. Please kill me.
28. Black Torch
A man and his cat fight monsters. Can’t do these fighting shows.
27. BanG Dream! Yume Mita
Meh, it was fine, but MyGO it is not. Also, damn do I hate the VR aesthetic.
26. Sparks of Tomorrow
I feel like I should give this a second shot, but I got bored and zoned out…
25. Oh Boy, Was I Wrong About Her
Childhood friends. Ugh.
24. Recommendations from Iwamoto-Senpai
Seen worse, didn’t particularly grab me though.
23 Victoria of Many Faces
Vaguely bored me.
22. The Duke’s Son Claims He Won’t Love Me Yet Showers Me with Adoration
It was cute, but I feel like it’s going to end up being a whole lot of nothing.
21. The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects
I do enjoy this manga, but it’s kind of slow. Probably not going to bother with the anime.
20. Heroine? Saint? No, I’m an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)!
Honestly, pretty good first episode, just not the kind of show I’m going to be able to stick through to the end and I know that. Too cute.
19. Red River
I want to like this… But in many ways the 90s shoujo has not aged well. Main character really pisses me off. Anyway, nothing new about isekai.
18. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance
Wasn’t bad, but nothing to write home about either… certainly didn’t need a double length episode.
17. I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day
Cute and fucked up show about assassins. Very torn on this one.
16. Rich Girl Caretaker: I’m Secretly the Caretaker of the Most Popular Girl in This Rich Kid School
I enjoy this manga too, it’s cute. Probably ultimately forgettable, but still cute.
15. Kaiju Girl Caramelize
It’s cute, but it already felt like it was dragging in the first episode.
14. From Overshadowed to Overpowered: Second Reincarnation of a Talentless Sage
This has like such a generic isekai title but the first episode was shockingly emotional. That said, I feel like it’s going to turn into every other isekai starting with the second episode, but it was a great first episode.
13. Though I Am an Inept Villainess
I love the shows set in the imperial court. And the actual villainess in this show is great lol.
12. The Cat and the Dragon
This is normally not something I would ever watch, but fuck, it is just too adorable!
11. A Livid Lady’s Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with Mighty Grimoires
Like the title says. Oh hell yeah I am here for this.
10. Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games
On the one hand, I felt like the manga is so much better. Way more intensity to it. On the other hand, yeah, I’m still going to watch this.
9. Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You
This manga is great. I do worry it’s not enough for a full series, but it had a solid first episode.
8. Grow Up Show
Cute girls doing cute things. I want to hate this but it’s just too well made.
7. The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System
Ashamed to admit I really liked the GoHands isekai show. Evil cousin best girl.
6. Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky
Really sweet so far.
5. The Ghost in the Shell
Great first episode, looks fabulous, I remember next to nothing of the original.
4. Draw This, Then Die!
Damn this looked so good. Love the teacher. Great first episode.
3. The World is Dancing
Beautiful first episode. My only concern is it didn’t even feel like it needed a second episode, the first one was so good.
2. Jaadugar: A Witch in Magnolia
Oh fuck I love this already and it seems like it’s only going to get better. Looks amazing.
1. Goodbye Lara
Holy shit this first episode ruled. And I have very little idea what to expect from the rest???
