Riiiight. Non-Impressions: I’m not entirely sure what to say about this ‘episode.’ The best analogy I can probably come up with would be… let’s say there’s a new Dragonball series, but then the first episode is a recap of the entire franchise and timeline to date. Not just DBZ, but everything from the original series, …
Cheer For You #01 — Manic Pixie Dream Girl High
My favorite is the parkour one because she talks the least. Impressions: Come on, PA Works. I know you know how to animate cheerleading routines. You did it in the opening.

But like that CloverWorks show, there’s also a lot of actual animation …
The Fable – 14
The Fable is a good old-fashioned anime in a lot of ways. Kind of “analog” in the sense that Boss meant it in last week’s episode. And one way is that it’s a traditional two-cour show – none of this namby-pamby split cour nonsense. Rack up a new OP and ED and get right back …
