Frieren or Die Hard S2 ep2-7
The second season has been quite a gentle affair so far, so it came as a bit of a surprise to see how good the animation was when they got back to doing action again. Sudden reminder that this is, in fact, by Mad House.
BanG Dream! It’s MyGo!! Ep1-3
Not exactly my usual wheelhouse, but I was curious to see the source material after characters from this series popped up as playable operators for a crossover event in
Arknights. I’m not sure I’ll watch it in its entirety, but I thought it was surprisingly engaging. There was a bit of the classic shoujo school drama about it, as a newcomer struggles to piece together the story behind a popular band’s mysterious break up. The third episode being framed entirely from a first person perspective is a nice touch.
Vermeil in Gold ep1
Well, sometimes the only way to know if the dumpster is on fire is to climb inside it. The basic premise of ‘weedy kid at magician school accidentally summons hot demon mommy as his familiar’ isn’t inherently terrible, but I found it more cringeworthy than funny and the art is a bit plain. I was mildly interested to know what Vermeil’s Tragic Backstory

was, but probably not enough to sit through the required amount of show to find out.
