Ultimate Wearwolf.
A pretty slick detective show with a supernatural twist. I felt I half solved the 2 mysteries either side of the events in London, and probably could have got it right if paying proper attention, which is a good sign. The London arc was my least favourite arc of the 3, but probably only because I've seen Holmes and Co portrayed in anime a few too many times in the last few years, although this added even more literary figures from the period into the mix! Although again it made for too many characters and it was also the least interesting mystery.
Another show with the main plot is left unfinished, but the novel! is ongoing.
The art and animation were very good.
The action stuff was pretty good too, but seeing as most of it took place at night it was occasionally a bit on the dark side.
8/10

SHY ep1-2
It slightly makes me wish I was watching Birdy the Mighty instead, but this seems pretty good - I assumed the point of reference was going to be American superheroes, but it’s a lot more tokusatsu-esque than I was expecting.
16-Bit Sensation ep2
This was a pleasant surprise, I enjoyed ep2 a lot more than the first one. Looks like this might have some actual meat on its bones after all.

I thought the old OVA was worth watching but I really loved Birdy Decode what did you think of that? One of my favourite shows (also the UK DVDs have such good authoring they almost look like Blu-rays)

The Nutcracker and the Magic Flute. The cover looked very Disney-esque, but the movie was dire. Made by a Russian company (I had to check as the lip sync on the animated characters was very off), this is a travesty of Tchaikovsky and Mozart's music. The story follows ... ah who cares. The heroine's companions include an ostrich (very Donkey) and a sheep. The songs are sleep inducing. If I hadn't had it on in the background while doing some work, it wouldn't have lasted the full 85 minutes. Next I shall try the Berlin ballet's performance to see if that feels more Christmassy.

3 on 3.
Horimiya: The Missing Pieces eps 11-13 (complete)
Valentines, Hori house and graduation.
A collection of scenes cut from the telling of the story in the first season and as such it feels a bit off because there's no particular flow to this season overall. That said a lot of the scenes were as funny as those from the main story.
Art and animation were the same.
I'll keep the same score even if it definitely feels the lesser of the two.
8/10

The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess ep1: Meanwhile, this was an entirely pointless episode of the same lines being repeated and the show's paper-thin premise being explained laboriously over and over again. A cute underaged-looking vampire girl who sucks at being a vampire is suddenly promoted to being a military leader of sorts, and forced to stop lazing around in her room. The show lives and dies based on how cute you find the bratty lead with her sexy suspenders and awkward blushing, and I found her super-annoying so this was never going to work out. The new maid she has is crazy for her too, so it feels a little like a crummy version of this season's Villainess show only with the viewpoint characters swapped. It was all so generic that I bet I forget that I ever watched this episode within a month.
Firefighter Daigo ep1: A decent hot-blooded series about trainee firefighters in a more realistic setting. The glimpses of firefighter training are interesting and the slightly stupid viewpoint character is spirited enough to be fun to watch. The titular Daigo himself is as dull as dishwater, and portrayed in too dramatically heroic a way not to make me cringe, though I am curious about the mystery that was teased at the end of the episode. It was a pretty decent watch overall.
A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special ep1: This feels as though someone just remixed every other crummy isekai/rebirth/do-over/magic school/VRMMO show from the last five years and created a soulless average of the lot of them. The main character is a commoner at a school which has its students team up in some kind of virtual environment for an assessment, except thanks to the conventionally unconventional storytelling we already know that either the test really sucks or something goes wrong on our hero's attempt, because he lives through a gruelling few years in the test before being sent back in time to before it ever happened. Having knowledge of the future, he then desperately wants to avoid the more harrowing moments from his memories the second time around. There are also a few unlikeable fellow students with no unique traits thrown in haphazardly and allusions to an elitist commoner/noble hierarchy; it's all stuff that's been done way better in other shows, and it doesn't help that this looks mediocre at best. I found the first half of the episode (set in the future) especially boring because it felt as though none of the characters really cared about the fantasy world they were supposedly saving, and it wasn't any less weak when the reason for it was explained.
Protocol: Rain ep1: King's Avatar was a great show. This is a weaker version of the exact same scenario, featuring a struggling Internet cafe and its associated esports team as it falls apart due to wholly-deserved mismanagement. Half of the first episode was in-game footage of one of the crummiest-looking FPS games I've seen in decades, which didn't help, and the rest was a clumsy character drama about the super-duper hero falling out with his favourite game and (of course) ending up being pulled back in. I can't work out if it's aimed at non-gamers or gamers at all. It seems kind of bland either way?
