The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess – Episode 1

Transporting a woman into her own middle-school fanfic makes for a great affectionate parody of isekai stories for teenage girls.

Chitose is in the Ramune Bottle – Episode 1

It’s lazy, self-congratulatory storytelling that no amount of pretty animation can add depth to. You can get in that Ramune bottle and stay there, buddy.

My Friend’s Little Sister Has It In for Me! – Episode 1

This is an exhausting premiere that wants to pat itself on the back for pointing out the tropes it’s wallowing in.

A simple, but well executed, premiere that’ll remind viewers of why they like a good shoujo romance

Digimon Beatbreak – Episode 1

Digimon’s greatest strength as a franchise lies in its character relationships, and this new entry doesn’t seem to understand that at all.

Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I’m a Reincarnator – Episode 1

The well-executed elements of the premiere end up overshadowed by fatphobia and the show’s lack of interest in its female characters.

Mechanical Marie – Episode 1

The premise is fun, but the big emotional climax feels unearned – and risks playing into the very tropes the show could be deconstructing instead.

Shabake – Episode 1

It’s hard to tell if this will be an episodic drama or a grand mystery, but there’s a lot of hinted depth to the chronically ill protagonist.
