Arte
It feels like only a few folks are talking about Arte (or I’m just missing the discussions) but I’m glad I stumbled across this show! (I’ve been watching…


Second Impressions – Bucchigiri?!
If the production could possibly maintain the level of the first two episodes this show could wind up as a real banger.


Second Impressions – SK∞
So far I think SK∞ is succeeding very handsomely at being exactly what it's setting out to be. 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 – 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 – Deca-Dence
Well, there ya go. Read more


Second Impressions – Uramichi Oniisan

Second Impressions – Astro Note
This second episode of Astro Note was clearly better in my book - and not just a little better, but a lot.


Second Impressions – Isekai Ojisan
I see a lot of comic potential in this trio. 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
Second Impressions – Jujutsu Kaisen
Inventive this series isn't, but it crosses the necessary thresholds to be viable. Read more

Because this world of corporate athletics is so new to me, I find it oddly fascinating. 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 – Shadows House
Most seasons have at least one series that I find myself wanting to like more than actually liking. 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 – RE-MAIN
On the evidence of the first two episodes, RE-MAIN is perfectly happy to color inside the lines. 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 – Odd Taxi
I still haven't quite figured out Odd Taxi. Read more


Second Impressions – High Card
I’m not expecting to take much away from the experience but for what it is, High Card is pretty enjoyable so far. 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 – Fuuto Tantei

Second Impressions – AI no Idenshi
In truth there's probably no theme more elemental to traditional science fiction than artificial intelligence. Read more


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 – 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 – Hikari no Ou
This is why we can't have nice things. Read more


Second Impressions – Meiji Gekken 1874
A workmanlike production of a workmanlike story, but working it is.


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 – Ooyukiumi no Kaina
There's some things here that pique my interest, but the whole package isn't quite there somehow. 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 Digest – Kakushigoto, Listeners
One indelible truth about gag manga and their adaptations is that they're only as funny as the gags. Read more The post Second Impressions Digest – Kakushigoto, Listeners…


Second Impressions – My Home Hero
It seems to me that Tetsuo and Kasen are way too calm about this whole business. Read more

It struck me in reading the feedback to the first couple of eps of Wonder Egg Priority that it could instead have been called "This Reminds Me Of".…


Second Impressions – Migi to Dari
What seemed relatively straightforward after one episode is a lot less so now, as Migi to Dari scrambles the deck very effectively.
