I'm just about finished watching Toka Gettan which is kind of a sequel to Yamibo (Darkness, The Hat And The Travelers Of The Books). The episodes are in reverse order (last to first) kinda like The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya. It's pretty good, I think one of the best things about both series are the character designs by Carnelian, her female designs are absolutely gorgeous!
 
Mushoku Tensei episodes 12-23 + OVA: Well, this improved dramatically in the second half of the season. Lots of action and drama, with a lot less panty-obsessing. Couple of big surprises near the end, and an extra episode starring Eris which seems to be hinting at yet more enemies coming after our heroes.

Shikabane Hime (Corpse Princess: Aka) ep2-5

Continues to be broadly fine in that way that’s frustratingly just below the point you’d call it good. The production is still the best part of it; what strikes me most is that it’s nicely lit, there’s good use of colour filters and deep shadows to create a real atmosphere. I wish I could say the writing was of the same standard though. I suppose it does arguably flip the gender norms at least, in that the female lead is the active fighter, while the guy seems to be purely a passive support character, but Ouri seems to do little other than stagger in somnambulatory fashion from scene to scene with no good reason for him to be there beyond the plot demanding it.
