    Finished Season 1 of Re:Zero. It capped the season off very nicely. One could argue Emilia was a little too quick to forgive, but that’s just kind of who she is. I followed that up with the first OVA, and uh wow. That was fun. It felt a little like the OVA’s writer(s) were calling out the original work on what it did to Rem’s character, which is very fair. Overall just a good time. Shame it (probably) isn’t canon.

    I also watched a couple of episodes of the second season of Umamusume. I was deeply amused by the scene where a certain horse girl wouldn’t enter the gate. I looked it up, and sure enough it was based off of real-life events. There’s even a video out there that shows both side-by-side, because of course there is. My favorite parts of this show are usually bits like this where I’m reminded that the horse girls are based off of real horses. Fun stuff.

    As for the current seasonals:

    • Akane-banashi continues to be fun
    • I really liked the latest Daemons of the Shadow Realms episode. I noticed some people had concerns, and all I can really say without spoilers is: watch and find out. This was written by a writer, and they know what they’re doing.
    • I watched the first episode of Agents of the Four Seasons. It was good, but it didn’t really grab me. I think I would’ve liked it more if Hinagiku didn’t speak the way she does. Perhaps it has something to do with trauma from her past. If so, hopefully she’ll stop talking like that because it’s kind of annoying tbh.
    • I still need to get caught up on the latest Snowball Earth episode. Hopefully it was good.
