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.

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.

Late pick up
I started watching the new My Hero Academia spin off, mainly because as an American comics reader, I prefer Vigilante heroes. Watching the original, in the back of my head I kept hearing Kneesocks screaming "Rulus!"
Also digging into Cross Ange. The beginning was not bad, although the handmaid making her re-entrance has been kind of cringe and story breaking. Once I can power past that it should get interesting again.
Why am I not watching the other shows I'm pulling down?

Bailing out - Yandere Dark Elf
I read the Manga, and it had some interesting character bits. The anime so far, not so much. Bog standard "Comedy of Manners"stuff. Puny male lead, gigantic in all regards disruptive outsider female, shy girl from his class. We have seen this ad nauseum.
The lingerie shopping segment just killed it for me. When the human love interest looked at Bell's boobs and wondered if Hinata (the guy) preferred big ones - as if she was flat, which she is not. She's basically the same shape as Bell only scaled down to normal height.
They do throw one wrinkle at the end of the third episode where the two other party members from the other world come saying they're there to take Mariabell back. I don't think I care enough to find out what's next. It's probably just an excuse to get the entire party living in his apartment (No parents, what is it with Japanese high schoolers having their own apartments?)
But nah, I'm out.

Finished - Kabushikigaisha Magilumiere
The folder for last season is just too intimidating! But Fall 2024 is almost caught up, so I watched the last four episodes of Kabushikigaisha Magilumiere, AKA Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc.
I know I've commented on the show before. It definitely held together through the end with a typical big finish. Although the background plot didn't conclude, there was an announcement for a second season at the end.
Honestly, when they introduced a new character, a loan-in Magical Girl from another company that was looking to adopt Magilumiere's system, I was skeptical how they were going to wrap things up in the last two episodes, but it worked to help illustrate Kana's growth into her role. Sometimes it takes an outsider to put that into relief.
