Dropped like it was hot!
I didn't have much hope for Kizu darake Seijo yori Houfuku wo Komete/With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess. I didn't even look at it until I had 8 episodes.
Aside from the plot being, I guess a girly version of Redo of Healer, the real problem is the animation - a kind of 2D cgi reminiscent of early Flash animation, with pieces in a very sketchy line style. Everything that moves squashes and stretches or rotates in the viewing plane. And everything that can move, does, pointlessly, while the bulk of the characters do not move at all, and mouth animation pops from shape to shape.
Seriously, it looked so intolerably bad that I just purged it all.

Nyaight of the Living Cat
I hadn't been keeping up, so I forgot how freaking FUNNY this is. Aside from everyone's ludicrous attachment to cats, this show pulls out all the zombie movie cliches.
Then they go and drop a reference like this:

And the hero helps them escape some charging cats by throwing down a cucumber!

Dan da Dan - Ep. 06
This show is still on fire. Between the over the top rock band for the exorcism, to the business at the end of Momo's new part time job, I was thoroughly entertained and amused as hell.

Nukitashi - The anti-Shimoneta
So you've got the kind of insane setup any ecchi anime has. In this case an island nation with a law not only allowing, but basically commanding random sex anywhere and everywhere. You can't even walk down the street without having to step over couples copulating. Our hero and his sister return to this island from Tokyo, where their parents moved when he was a young boy, too young to remember, to live in their grandparents former home. Yeah, the parents are dead so I guess they had no place else to go.
But wait! This is NOT a SisCon show. Big bro is a virgin and wants to keep it that way (And has a hobby making his own onaholes). Sister hates all men, prefers to stay home with her computers, and is probably a lesbian. The real problem is the school's elite force of sexual perverts who enforce the law, which is not just that you have to sex each other up all the time, but with as many different people as possible. And big brother being fresh meat sets off a chase...
... where he meets a girl who is also resistant against the "Pervert Law" and they accidentally discover a potential headquarters for a resistance provided by a mysterious older man on a video screen.
So it struck me as being the opposite of Shimoneta. Where a law requires sex instead of suppressing it, where the population knows all about sex rather than being completely ignorant, where the protagonists are uninterested in sex rather than insanely curious.
I mean, it's kind of odd to have an ecchi anime with SO much sex going on in the background that it's almost repellent. It could become a train wreck, but I'm curious how it's going to end up.

Kizetsu Yuusha to Ansatsu Hime, E1
This one, a straight fantasy, cuts to the chase very quickly. A loli demoness, Ceil, daughter to the demon lord, is dispatched to dispatch the hero most likely to get the Demon Lord. She primarily looks at it as a chance to get out of the castle and chase down sweets, but she is diligent as well. An Assassin, Anemone, for enough money, is also given an assignment to kill the same hero, and for a price high enough that she's willing to dress as a priestess to do it. And finally, and most strangely, a Dominatrix named Goa finds all the men she breaks too easily breakable, and one of her assistants suggests you know who.
Finally at the guild hall we see the hero, Toto, about to make his entry, approaching a threesome of noobs. And in spite of his dashing imaginary approach, he fumbles it because he is paralytically shy, and they split. All three of the girls though make their play at the same time to join with him so they can get him somewhere private to do him in. And when the seductress snuggles up to him, he goes into total brain lock. The Loli Demoness levitates him and takes off, with the others in hot pursuit. The assassin pulls an automatic grenade gun from nowhere and lets loose. The Loli deploys a shield and stealthily lets down a summoning spell, then the domme uncorks a paralytic perfume to take them both out. Without the Loli to control it, the summon goes out of control and brings out a massive dragon, and when the three killers think they're done for, the hero knocks the dragon's block off with a single punch.
They show their gratitude just long enough to brainlock the hero again, while they discuss a temporary truce.
This may be super dumb fun, or just super dumb. The art isn't especially impressive, but I daresay it's more animated than the first episode of Call of the Night.

Yofukashi no Uta S2E1, Dan da Dan S2E1
Man, the budget clearly isn't there this round. I was struck by how NON-animated everything is. Characters who deliver several lines of dialogue with only their mouths moving, or they switch to offscreen, with a completely static shot of the person they're talking to.
I hope they're saving up for something big, because for a premiere episode of a fan-favorite series, they're really wiffing it.
Okay, to be fair, I'm only a third of the way through it, but they sure made it bland.
Dan da Dan, on the other hand, hit the ground running, picking up right where it cliffhangered last season, maintaining the action and energy! A perfect continuation.

Summer Season preview
So this guy made a chronological tier video of everything coming out this season. Jump to the three minute mark to skip the sponsor. Not a great fan of his delivery, but he makes good points, and you might find something you would have skipped.

How's your week been...
... mine's kinda sucked.
Click to Embiggen
To avoid vaguebooking, yeah, I'm perfectly fine. Airbags work. Car is a total loss. Shopping for a replacement today was a lot more stress inducing. I pick that up Monday after making a 31K hole in my savings. Tuesday I meet with the Agent to get a check for the remains, which I expect will be small.
