Ganglion
Remember that one bit from Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department with the temp worker who keeps getting jobs as a part time Minion for various villains? What if you had a short format show dedicated to that idea, except the guy is not a temp, and you filled it with middle-aged ennui.
It's too short to tell if I like it yet. And while it's short format it doesn't seem to be episodic. What I've watched so far chains together.
Anyway, that's Ganglion.
Apparently the Manga is from 2007, so that's quite a long road from manga to anime.... Don't ask me why. But at least it's not an Isekai.

Kimi to Koete Koi ni Naru
So that Mother's Basement channel did a fall season review, which didn't much change my plans to skip most of it. After all, I tried that "Gatcha" show and deleted it mid second episode. But the segment on Kimi to Koete Koi ni Naru, or "With You, Our Love Will Make It Through" piqued a small amount of interest. Not in the main characters, a big blue dog person and a high schooler who falls for him, but in another student and a catgirl who's a bit higher on the "Kemono Mix" scale than we usually get.
The bigotry angle is played a bit heavy-handedly, but there is also some humor. I figure I'll give it a try unless the melodrama gets too heavy.

Grok Fail
I know there's some way to make Grok improve a generated image, but I don't know what it is. On the other hand, this result is so off base from what I described that I don't know if there's any point in trying to fix it.

Fall Season fail
It will be a good time to catch up on my backlog....
Spy Family, even though I kinda bounced off of episode 17 (Bragging about getting a dog) is back.
And The Five Wedding Rings, which I totally didn't expect another season of, is back. It's got a cat-girl, IIRC, and an idiot MC.
On the other hand, there's another series that has a catgirl of a not very well designed sort, but I'm not going to follow it because the hero's cheat skill is... Gatcha.... Seriously?

If shonen battlers were honest
If shonen battlers were honest:
"No one has ever beaten my Superpugilist Strike! It is undefeated!"
"You just said you've never met an opponent so tough that you've had to use it."
"That's why it's never been defeated."
"How do you even know it works?"
Narrator: It didn't work.

whups...
Somehow I made it this far into the season without realizing I was missing My Dress-up Darling. This has been remedied.

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:
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.
