This season I'm looking to watch Kowloon Generic Romance, Shoushimin Series S2, Aharen-san S2, Mono, Witch Watch, and maybe a few others.

I'll post anything that strikes my fancy.

--and Honey Lemon Soda and Okinawa yap girl and guild receptionist totally did not hold my attention. Maybe I'll finish those later but yeah... Kinda boring.

Eat metal.

They're building up to wipe out half your body's cells.

Besides plot references, to me:
The first OP seemed to be themed after Maomao having a hidden side/capabilities.
The second OP seemed to be primarily focused on Maomao's growing personal and political connections.
The third OP seems heavily focused on Maomao's role as the *resident mystery-solver*.

And what about the GREAT ED? The main character(s) dancing/singing a duet of Matsuken Samba while dressed to the nines? Oh. Yes. Please. Have less to say about this, but I do love how Kenzaburou is depicted as his own person and how important his family is to him and the show.

As for the OP, it's really good; it's filled with interesting shots and is super well-paced, never a dull moment as it speeds by. It feels like it's telling its own mini story, with symbolism of a monotone world being filled with color. Super good directing. Also a catchy song.

Uhhhhm, like whatever, NERD.
The cool kids will be enjoying their wooden dinosaurs. 😎

Also, the show is pretty good. Story seems a little trite, but that's always fine by me if it's well-executed. Biggest standouts about the show so far are that seemingly everyone has 'golden' eyes, and that the OST is crazy good; it's really atmospheric and excels at setting the mood for each scene.

I feel like with the Kudou mother we're heading for the classic: "oh she's not really bad, she had a good reason to say those mean things and be so curmudgeonly all this time" and I'm so not looking forward to it. If I'm right, I hope it's a more realistic "she's mean but she'll try to reign it in."

And here are some screencaps of her smiling and being happy. Keep being happy, Miyo.
