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.

A breath of fresh air for its niche, with expressive fight scenes, classmates that don’t feel cartoonishly evil, and a genuine sense of mystery.

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.

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.

The beats are familiar if you know music anime, but the execution is solid with room to grow

The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest – Episode 1

It’s competent but choppy and completely devoid of anything worth talking about.

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.

The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess – Episodes 1-3

You can also build a compelling villainess story, it turns out, by simply giving your protagonist visions of a dark possible future rather than making her a reincarnated gamer.
