A more fantasy take on mecha from Gundam's Yoshiyuki Tomino. While it's got the good political commentary, mecha action and world setting you'd expect from Tomino I found it dragged on for too long and got pretty repetitive. The final episode was also a right mess to say the least which rushes through everything with no time for explanation or resolution. Really unfortunate that.
The Executioner and Her Way of Life
A refreshing take on the isekai genre that focuses on one of the citizens of the fantasy world, an assassin that targets isekai protagonists. Executioner provides an interesting and well developed world setting and a great yuri-adjacent dynamic between its leading characters. Would love to see MVM bring this over.

Health kick.
NieR: Automata Ver1.1a eps 11 & 12 (complete)
The End!?
Some nice action, but I didn't have a scooby at what was going on a lot of the time. As I haven't played the game I have no idea how faithful it was, but most episodes seemed to be a mission/set piece from it and thus it didn't flow too well.
There's a few factors that didn't help either, delays in production and then delays of my own making and the use of a lot of techno mumbo jumbo and philosophical noodling that Japanese sci-fi especially seems to love spouting. I think it really boiled down to androids good, machines bad, but are they really because of gained consciousness, but in the end what did it matter because humans had gone extinct, so they were fighting for nothing!
Art and animation were very good.
6/10
Goblin Slayer: Goblin Crown (complete)
A film roughly 4 episodes in length with the first "episode" being a recap of season 1 and the rest being a mission to rescue an adventure party. Their initial investigation hinted at something bigger than just another Goblin nest to destroy, but it just turned into a big fight, just with more numbers and a bigger goblin head honcho than before, afterwards it was again hinted that there was more to the nest, maybe it'll pop up in season 2.
Art and animation were the same as I remember.
Good refresher, but nothing new really. 1 point off from s1.
7/10
Almost finished last season now!

16-Bit Sensation ep3
I'd have liked if Konoha had spent a little more time in 1992. At the risk of stating the obvious, I think the further forward in time she moves on each leap, the less interesting the contrast to the present is going to be - I'm pretty sure tablet drawing devices were becoming far more common by the early 2000s, for example. That said, I'm definitely onboard with this now and curious to see where they're going to go with it. Having looked up a description of the original manga, the anime seems quite drastically different.
Under Ninja ep3
I hope the blonde dude survives, he seems like an okay guy really. Funny how I wasn't that interested in anything from this season beforehand, but I've ended up really liking these two shows so far.
Birdy the Mighty Decode ep1-4
Turned out one of my friends had the DVDs. I'm honestly surprised this is credited to A1-Pictures, the animation is so good it feels like a Bones show. I also like the little theme that plays when Birdy goes into battle, it's a nice motif for her.

The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today ep 12
Sunday evening dread.
Blue Orchestra eps 20 & 21
Fireworks and finding your light.
Let's do some episode 1s of new shows.
The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess ep 1
Bit of a dumb premise and lots of shouty "comedy". It's more yuri-bait than actual yuri too, although looking at the cast list there's plenty more girls to be introduced.
I'll give it 3 episodes.
Stardust Telepath ep 1
Pretty cute story about a shy girl who's obsessed with aliens that starts high school and meets a energetic girl who seems to actually be an alien brought to her school by the shy girls wish on a shooting star.
Unlike Vexations is actually labelled as GL, but at the moment seems to be bait again, but again plenty of girls to be introduced.
Seems a keeper from this first episode.

All done. Very funny with the longest fight I've ever seen. Goku finally gets naked again.
There's a film on disc 1. Hopefully it's not some sort of compilation.
Not sure I'll continue. It'll depend on whether it keeps the same humour.
Black Summoner
Episodes 9-12
Finally some fanservice.
Posted a picture below.
Genius Prince
Episodes 5-7
A proper baddie appears. Voiced by Mamiko Noto. I'm so besotted that I knew immediately.

Steel Angel Kurumi episodes 4-24: Reminiscing over an old favourite. Bought this straight off the press 20 years ago (including visiting the Madman office to beg them to sell me disc 4 a week before release as I was going away for three months - and they did!).
The Labyrinth of Grisaia: good interim OVA showing some of Yuji's backstory.
To Love Ru episodes 1-18: silly show. Nudity is blurred out, but I think it may get more graphic as the series continues. Don't really like the lead character. Another dweeby boy who screams and shouts a lot with few redeeming features (amazing how having a hot girlfriend suddenly makes the loser look desirable to all the other girls, isn't it?).
