    I finished this season (all of?) Tomo-chan is a girl. The random violence played for laughs was a bit offputting, but otherwise the show was fine. The end of threw me for a bit though. End of season spoilers.
    It honestly felt like the whole season was going to be a setup for Tomo and Jun to get together, kiss once, then realize they were way better off as friends. Tomo would then realize that Gundo (can't remember her first name) was in love with her and they would end up together. Between the Cinderella thing and all the girls seemingly falling for Tomo at the end, it just seemed more likely? But nope they just ended up together after a dumb and mostly gross "showdown" between Jun and her dad.

    Apparently since Netflix lost/let the Edens Zero license go, a French company acquired it and it's not streaming in English at all. Seems wild to me for a popular series like that.

    It's probably for the best. The arc they're adapting is so bad I stopped reading the series for two years because of it.

    Isn't Edens Zero the one done by the Fairy Tail mangaka? I remember trying to read the manga years ago and bouncing off hard, I only remember something like a flash forward off-chapter scene depicting the corpses or graves of the two protagonists thousands of years in the future.

    I've been looking forward to Yuri is My Job! after learning about the manga, and then seeing the anime adaptation announced. The first episode did not disappoint.

    Basically a bunch of gremlins and delinquents are working at a cafe where they improv being characters in a yuri-bait Class S (Maria Watches Over Us, pretty specifically) setting. There's lilies and sparkly filters everywhere. But, as I said, they're all just pretending, and as soon as the customers aren't around they're all the exact opposite of they characters they play.
    I'm pretty sure the double twist is that they're all actually interested in a different girl than whoever they're paired with for work. And I'm guessing some of the drama/comedy will come from none of them realizing everyone else is also secretly actually super into girls. The MC's 'best friend' already seems to obviously want to be more than that.

    Looks like it ended up at Crunchyroll instead.

    Oh fair enough. I know one company controlling all of anime will lead to bad things, but I like that I can get 90% of new shows in one place. The balkanization of streaming sucks.

    Magical Destroyers is exceedingly manic and pretty fun.

    Everything else I glanced through today has been either just super duper shouty, super trashy, both, or just a round of golf.

    The OP is also... a trip.

    It's a post-apocalypse satire of all government, as ;3 gestapo people, outlawing otaku stuff. But it's a genuine satire and played pretty straight, just with magical girls who are all crazy anarchist rebels, a magical pet that keeps getting killed, etc.

    I assume at least. Only the one literally named Anarchy is really in the first episode.

    Though the second
    Is apparently a sex fiend who was catfished on Tinder by the government.

    So I finally sat down and watched Gunbuster this week and holy shit it RULES

    Episode 6 is one of the most stunning episodes of anime I've ever seen, the art and animation in this show is absolutely gorgeous

    It's also real interesting seeing a whole bunch of stuff in this show that's clearly an early run at the shit that bleeds over into Evangelion

    After the Dr. Stone manga ended fairly weakly I can't really get excited for the anime anymore. I'll probably watch it out of inertia, maybe when all the episodes are available.

    Oh my god Birdie Wing continues to be amazing. If you shut it of during the ending theme you are really missing out.
    You ever take a shot at golf so hard it unlocks buried memories of your parents? The shot itself is just ridiculous. Also the back story of our Char and Amuro meeting and it being some real highlander shit was great too.

    Also kinda weird how it just seems to be continuing season 1. I felt like everywhere called it season 2.

    The last installment of S1 just said "see you next episode!" and then took most of a year off, which feels very on brand.
