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 – 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 – NegaPosi Angler
I’m still not fully hooked (pun intended), but I am finding NegiPosi Angler pretty interesting.
Second Impressions – Mars Red
This series may be my top pick this season in terms of the acting. Read more

Because this world of corporate athletics is so new to me, I find it oddly fascinating. Read more
Second Impressions – Heike Monogatari

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

Second Impressions – AI no Idenshi

Second Impressions – Megaton-kyuu Musashi
This is certainly a show trading on execution over innovation, but so far the execution is holding up its end of the bargain. Read more
Second Impressions – Yubisaki to Renren
There's the core of a very interesting character story here. I'm just not convinced that Yubisaki to Renren is the right series to tell it.

Second Impressions – Ooyukiumi no Kaina
