I hadn't heard of that one, nor the foofaraw around it. I watched a trailer, and it definitely looks nice, but the female lead is a bit too "widdle baybee" for my liking.

I'll give it a look in September, though.

Checked out the Assassin Princesses one. Boring and bland. The world is bland and so are the characters. I think this would've been funnier if it were about only the "priest" one trying to kill him while in a legitimate party with two "straight men" type characters and being stopped in funny ways. I find this type of weirdness more amusing if we also have characters who are not in on the joke. But you have three wacky assassins and one guy so shy he's also wacky. It doesn't work for me. Do you like two pairs of big tits and a demon loli even in a boring and bland story? Then this is your show! E, I guess. Not those tits tho'. Those are beyond E.


Then I watched the one where the white mage is banished from the hero's party. It had more good qualities than the Assassin Princesses one but this first episode is nothing-burger. Could've been a far more interesting story if the MC and his hot sensei went on adventures learning various magic. But we don't get that.

This show literally speedruns the first two episodes"every isekai in which a character is banished from a party" + an entire episode of "The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic" + tropes found in stuff like "I Parry Everything" and "Chilling in Another World with my Level 2 Cheat Powers" and does all of it waaaay worse. It also throws us into a flashback with three fucking time skips all in episode one.

The MC is the same fucking boring, naive herbivore Japanese young man trope that anime insists on putting in its stories because Japanese young men allegedly can't self-insert without it. Then it forgets to do anything interesting with his character to help him overcome this hurdle. He's secretly OP but he doesn't know it! HA HA HA.... NO.

I even checked out some of the manga to see if I was being too harsh. No, I'm not. Hot sensei--who gets props for being hot, decently clothed and not a child--was the best character in this show. I enjoyed her time on the screen. Pink girl--don't know her name--also seems ok. We barely meet her this episode but she was all right in the manga. Everything else in this episode goes into the bin. D.

Betrothed to My Sister's Ex was pretty good. It did feel a bit rushed, but that's my only complaint.

Secrets of the Silent Witch has way too much fucking exposition. I want to like this show and a scared, awkward powerful witch is a fantastic concept. But holy fuck. Stop explaining and explaining and explaining.

Eh, I always used this one...toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe.

I saw where Dan da Dan picked up where it left off, which is problematic as I didn't get but five episodes in on the last go-around. Bahk-lahgs, bahk-lawgs.

I still can't believe how unbelievably stacked this season is.
