Lotta monologuing this week. Impressions: Oh right. This show is blithely continuing on for another 12 or 13 episodes. New OP and ED too. Well, it’s been acceptable enough as a baseline, though this episode wasn’t one of the better ones. Especially the whole first half about Arc and Claude’s backstory. She was raised as …
Goodbye Lara #01 — The Carnivorous Mermaid
There’s a weird but welcome amount of decapitation in this show. Impressions: Of all the weird things to focus on, her casually ripping apart fish was definitely not one I would’ve expected. Hell, even just mermaid stuff in general is kind of unexpected since the promos were all high school frolicking. But it also shows …
20th Century Electricity Catalog #01 — Waterless Steam
Yes, that was distracting me the entire episode.

Do you know how sweltering it would be if the …
The Cheat Power Crap Never Ends #01 — Endless Tutorial
This may genuinely be the worst of these things this season. Impressions: AKA Strongest Rearguard. And in a sea of utterly generic garbage, this is even more generic. I don’t have a superfluous description for what the most generic thing is, but imagine I did. Also, imagine you were trapped in the character creator …
Iron Wok Jan #01 — “Go Buy the Manga, Now!”
I like how everybody’s clothing is pristine at the end of a shift. I need to get the dogs out before the heat. I see other (awful) shows like Rearguard already up. I’ll deal with it in an hour or two. Impressions: I don’t think I’ve ever seen an anime end with a straight …
Let’s Go, Mystery Club #01 — *incoherent yelling*
Screencaps really show it all. Impressions: If it can be spoken, it can be yelled, and thus, comedy is obtained. Hooray. It’s too early in the morning for this. Another one of these. The setup is exposition. The punchlines are optional. But the overreactions? They are LOUD. They are loud and they usually just repeat what was …
