episodes 1-26 (Complete. A romance-comedy series consisting of 12 minute episodes that explores a relationship with some obsessive tendencies but plays them in a more cute and sometimes endearing fashion - being self-aware in the process through some of the character interactions.) 3/5
 
Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club episodes 1-2
Already my favourite Love Live series in terms of production. Great character designs, compositing and animation so far. One of my gripes with Sunshine was how it relied too much on μ's and followed the same formula as their series. Thankfully this series looks like it'll avoid those problems with the biggest change being Yu Takasaki's role as a supportive member of the group.

Golden Kamuy Season 3 episodes 1-2
As expected of Immortal Sugimoto

Jujutsu Kaisen episodes 1-3
Pretty great action so far as expected from director Sunghoo Park. Shingo Yamashita's team also did a fantastic job on the opening.

22/7 episodes 1-3
Well it's certainly an intriguing concept so far but the lack of Yukiko Horiguchi's designs is pretty disappointing.

Presumably these were bonus chapters from the manga, but it's good to see they've covered them anyway - it's nice to get some more screentime with these characters.

Patlabor TV ep2-3

I'm not sure how it would play to an audience who were completely unfamiliar with these characters, but having the team fight it out in a little tournament to see who gets to do which job, feels like a strangely perfect introduction to their different personalties. You get a real sense of who they are in the space of just a few moments. Kanuka Clancy's arrival is also a lot more dramatic than I remembered, with her helicopter emerging from the sun like something from Apocalypse Now.

Honestly, I think the strength of the characterisation just shines through in general. It had never really occurred to me before, but as the ostensible male lead, Asuma occupies a rather strange position in the narrative. While it's not unusual to get a male main character who will reluctantly become the pilot in mecha anime, I think it must be almost unheard of to see the man offered a chance to pilot the robot, refuse it, and have the show stick to that. By contrast, Noa's journey to being the mecha-loving hero of the show feels natural and unhurried - you can see her growing affinity for the task, but there's no sense that she's been born with god-given talent that will see her through every situation. She's working on it.

No Guns Life - Episodes 21 - 24 [Final]

I struggled with NGL to the very end, normally I would really lap this type of show up but I just couldn't get into it and I can't really put my finger on why.

Fight! Iczer One - Episodes 1 - 3 [Final] (Blu-ray)

Long been overdue a rewatch of this and seeing lots of chatter about it on twitter has spurred me to work through the Izcer anime again.
 
Assault Lily: BOUQUET ep 3
Bad memories.

Wandering Witch ep 3
Definitely darker than I thought I'd be after the first episode. With killer plants (the story was left hanging a bit though) and slavery!

Sigrdrifa ep 3
Assessment Shopping mission.

The Day I Became a God ep 2
The film making segment was hilarious. The end hints at something darker though, as I hear the writer tends to do that with his shows.

Talentless Nana ep 3
A tougher puzzle to solve.

Maesetsu ep 2
Still not particularly funny. For some reason when one of the 2 groups were doing their routine they cut away from the punchline, maybe because the episode was focused more on the other group, but still a bit odd. The rokugo part had some good observational stuff, but just reminded me of Joshiraku which was much funny. Has one episode left to impress.

Moriarty the Patriot ep 2
Origin story.
