So, what's the current status of this season for me, two-thirds into it?
Thunderbolt Fantasy: Touri-ken Yuuki 3: Still a wonderful adventure show. It's not too deep, but seeing the puppets flying around doing Wuxia and pretty explosions happening in the background is enough to keep me engaged.
Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song: Still a decent show, but it has problems in its storytelling. The characters outside of Vivy are pretty shallow, although Matsumoto has grown on me, the bastard. But many motivations of the other characters are not really well thought out. And the episodic nature of the mini-arcs also doesn't encourage you to form big attachments.
Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou Desu: Turns out this shows calmness around its storytelling is its biggest asset. Happily watching this until the end.
Jouran: The Princess of Snow and Blood: Dropped, because I can go only so far with the grimderp.
Slime Taoshite 300-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita: Turns out, the stories and character interactions were a bit too silly for me. Dropped.
86–EIGHTY_SIX: Tries to be grimderp, undermines itself by stacking a
ton absurd mini-scenarios on top of each other in a swaying tower of Pisa to keep the main premise going. More of a hate-watch by this point, but I guess I'm still interested where they can possibly still take this silly premise, because the show should be over in 1 or 2 episodes, yet apparently it has gotten a second cour. Most undeserved second cour in a long time, IMO...
