You and I are Polar Opposites Episodes 1-4. This trending-towards-most-popular title of the season is... just bearable to barely Ok for me. As an MC Suzuki just isn't cute or appealing at all to me; I don't much care for the way she is drawn. She's also way too overbearing, especially in the first two episodes, enough so that I almost dropped the show right then and there. But I did watch the following two episodes since they were already out, and Suzuki did start to calm down maybe a little bit. I just can't tolerate all the yelling and shouting she does, which you tend to get in a lot of romcoms, thus why I much prefer romdrams like this season's In the Clear Moonlit Dusk - 10x better. With that said, Suzuki's friend Satou, with her short black hair and mellow demeanor, is definitely my favorite of all the female characters we've met so far in the series. I'll keep watching just for her; she received a decent amount of screen time in these last two episodes.

In counterpart to that, I have only seen the first episode as I don't subscribe to Crunchyroll but they have started putting 1-3 episodes of some shows on youtube as advertising. I absolutely loved that first episode and hope that this gets a blu-ray release.
 
Cat's Eye (2025) (Japanese) - Episode 12 (Complete)

Though it wasn't perfect in the art and animation department this was still a solid adaptation of Cat's Eye I'd say and I enjoyed it a fair amount. I prefer the original from what I've seen of it but this wasn't bad at all. It seems to be setting up for a second season as well which I welcome if it comes to fruition.
