As before , it's time for my relatively early viewsof how this season has shaken out so far, following up on my firstepisode reactions . This entry has been delayedpartly because I'm lazy but largely for the traditional reason, which isthat I haven't wanted to admit something about one of the shows airingthis season.

Great:

• Magia Record : This has completely blindsided me with how good it isand how much I've been enjoying it. The entire show is very wellpresented

As before I'm collecting here all of my tweetedreactions to the first episodes I've seen (in the order that I saw them).

• BOFURI #1: I rather liked this, but I was biased towards it becauseI've enjoyed what of the manga I've seen. I'm scoring it solidlyentertaining in a deliberately silly way; Maple is gleefully (butunknowingly) breaking the world in her own fun way. →

• Eizouken episode #1: That was a bunch of fun

It's time (and past time) to officially note this. In the end,after my first episode reactions , I woundup effectively entirely abandoning the Fall season, eventuallywatching no shows. I explicitly dropped everything except FairyGone , and while I didn't officially drop it I haven't watchedmore than the first two episodes. I may finish it (or watch more)at some point, because I was reasonably enthused after episode 14 , butsomehow that never translated to spending 24

As before I'm collecting here all of mytweeted reactions to the first episodes I've seen (in the order that Isaw them). There aren't many this time around, and I haven't beenwatching them very fast.

• Make My Abilities Average episode 1: This was one part ordinaryoverpowered isekai and one part interesting in a meta way because ofwhere it starts the story. It has potential as popcorn entertainmentfor me, so I'll watch it until I get bored.

As before it's time for my relatively earlyviews of how this season has shaken out so far, following up on my first episode reactions . At thispoint I've seen three episodes of everything I'm watching, so itfeels like things are starting to stabilize ( although maybe not ).

A great Symphogear experience:

• Symphogear XV : This season builds on everything that's come before(and is in many ways the second half of AXZ ), so it's not a good place to

• To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts episode 1: That was a whole lot of setupand backstory, but it was okay overall and has some flashes ofinterest. We're not getting anything stunning but it might be competentand watchable, which is sadly rare. ♯

• Astra Lost in Space episode #1: That wasn't bad for what it was, and

It's time for my traditional look back atwhat I watched this past Spring season, to follow up on my earlierimpressions . This was a decidedly small season for me,since I only finished two shows.

Good:

• Fairy Gone : This cour of the show wasn't flawless but it was interestingand generally well done, and it's certainly enough to get me to watchthe next cour (which will air in the Fall season, starting in October).Marlya basically carried the show for me

As before it's well past time for my views onhow this season has shaken out so far, following up on my firstepisode reactions . A good part of why I'monly writing this basically half way through the season is that therehas been something that I didn't really want to admit about my watchingthis season, and I kept hoping that I would get up the energy to changeit before I wrote this entry.

Good:

• Fairy Gone : This is the most interesting show I'

It's time (and well past time) for my traditional look back at what I watched this past Winter season, tofollow up on my earlier impressions . I've beenlazy about doing this entry, partly because there is not a lot to talkabout.

Good:

• Kemurikusa : In the end, Tatsuki and his crew came through with aworthy follow on to Kemono Friends . The show started slow and hadsome early speed bumps, but it picked up as it went along and evenended up giving
