KonoSuba-Episodes 9 and 10 (Complete)
All caught up in time for S2. Quite an enjoyable series, and I appreciate the efforts to actually have something resembling a plot, which most comedies sorely lack.
Gabriel Dropout-Episode 1
Pretty fantastic opening episode, managing to get consistent laughs from me throughout. That whole teleportation bit was golden, and actually had me laughing out loud. I'm always into series that are really high energy, and this really ticks that box, and of course the over cutesy art style is up my street. Favourite character of the cast so far is Satania, as her whole schtick really tickles me.
Blue Exorcist-Episodes 1 and 2 (Rewatch)
Since the new season has started, I thought it's high time I rewatched the first season. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but I remember rather disliking this show, so much so I was quite surprised that a lot of people seemed excited for a second season. Blue Exorcist caused me to go through a pretty bad slump, and it took me almost a whole month to get through it, which is unusual for me. I normally get through a single cour show in 3 or 4 days and a two cour show in about a week and a half, so for me to take so long is kind of a testament to how uninterested I was. Seeing these first couple of episodes again, I quite enjoyed it, although I remember quite enjoying the first handful of episodes the first go around too, so I'll see how it goes. For what it's worth, I'm watching with the Japanese audio this time around, to easier transition into the Kyoto arc.
Kizumonogatari Part 1
No a whole lot to say really, it's the Monogatari I love on a bigger budget, meaning it looks about 10x as pretty, which, considering how good looking Monogatari is anyway, is really saying a lot. Despite how much I loved Part 1, I can't help but feel as if Parts 2 and 3 will be better, by sheer virtue of most of the really good stuff, like Araragi fighting the vampire hunters and the scene in the shed, not happening until later in the book. Still, as I say, thoroughly enjoyed this.
