Inventive this series isn't, but it crosses the necessary thresholds to be viable. Read more
Second Impressions – Blue Lock
Any time the subject comes back to soccer I just want to yank my hair out. Read more
Second Impressions – Ranma ½ (2024)
There's always going to be a fine balance with a show like this one, where nostalgia is expressly the point.
Second Impressions – Paripi Koumei
I can already see the bubble forming with this one. Read more
Second Impressions – Metallic Rouge
I can’t shake the feeling that this is all very prefab, like a kit house - a Bones mecha series as designed by ChatGPT or Google Bard.
Second Impressions – Deca-Dence
Well, there ya go. Read more
Second Impressions – Isekai Ojisan
I see a lot of comic potential in this trio. Read more
Second Impressions – NegaPosi Angler

This second episode of Astro Note was clearly better in my book - and not just a little better, but a lot.
Second Impressions – Mars Red
This series may be my top pick this season in terms of the acting. Read more
Second Impressions – Mushoku Tensei
Right now this series is staying on that tightrope with Rudy, but there's a crocodile pit waiting below it. Read more
Second Impressions – Tokyo Revengers
Tokyo Revengers may have an annoying way of setting it up, but for me at least it's very good at telling the story. Read more
Second Impressions – Horimiya -Piece-
I don't know why food analogies always seem to suggest themselves with Horimiya. Read more
Second Impressions – Sabikui Bisco
Any show that gifts us with "The bastard released the damn hippos!" has got something going for it, that's for sure. Read more
Second Impressions – The Fable
There's clear potential in this premise, though for me it's more potential than realization at this point.
Second Impressions – Uramichi Oniisan
I love black comedy but this isn't even really black comedy. Read more
Second Impressions – Kitsutsuki Tanteidokoro
I'm not ready to make a call on either this arc or this series. Read more The post Second Impressions – Kitsutsuki Tanteidokoro appeared first on Lost in…

Second Impressions – RE-MAIN
On the evidence of the first two episodes, RE-MAIN is perfectly happy to color inside the lines. Read more

Second Impressions – Majo to Yajuu
There are some good things happening here, no question about it, but I'm still feeling pretty detached about what I'm seeing.
Second Impressions – Takt Op. Destiny
I'll say this for the second episode of Takt Op. Destiny, it took me some places where I didn't expect to go. Read more
Second Impressions – Ooyukiumi no Kaina
There's some things here that pique my interest, but the whole package isn't quite there somehow. Read more

What seemed relatively straightforward after one episode is a lot less so now, as Migi to Dari scrambles the deck very effectively.
Second Impressions – Kai Byoui Ramune
That's one way to get around the censors. Read more
Second Impressions – Saihate no Paladin
What's striking about these first two eps is as much what's absent as what's present. Read more
Second Impressions – Meiji Gekken 1874
A workmanlike production of a workmanlike story, but working it is.
Second Impressions – Hikari no Ou
This is why we can't have nice things. Read more
Second Impressions – Oshi no Ko
It's fair to say I went into this episode flying as blind as you realistically can having just watched 90 minutes of a series. Read more
