I finally managed to watch at least one episode of everything I was interested in.
Dropped:
- Link Click (just didn’t, er, click with me)
- Farmagia (too much game showing at the seams, not enough depth, protag is an idiot)
- Greatest Alchemist (not good enough to survive having slavery treated as acceptable)
- Fruit Master (just mediocre all over)
- I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons (denial of the main character’s agency to an extent that’s downright icky)
- Magic Maker (um, dude, I don’t really care that she’s your sister, but you appear to be macking on an oblivious prepubescent girl. No.)
- Momentary Lily (motion sickness-inducing).
Hanging by a thread:
- Aquarion: Myth of Emotions (really ugly artwork and isn’t likely to be good enough in other categories to compensate)
- Promise of Wizard (first episode felt rather bland, haven’t gotten to the second one yet)
- I’m a Noble on the Brink of Ruin etc. (just really bland so far, no black marks but not very interesting either)
I’ll be picking one of those three to keep watching and dropping the other two.
By the way, does anyone know what’s going on with Fate/Strange Fake? I wasn’t anticipating it dropping off the schedule again after one episode.

Same. Apparently, it was an advanced premiere or something. The full broadcast date isn’t known yet AFAIK.

That’s bizarre, given that they’d already done one of those with Whispers of Dawn. It’s as though they’re trying to make this an old-style OAV series, with a new part emerging every few months, which would be okay if they’d just say so. The unwillingness to commit to any kind of date, even if it’s next year, is frustrating.
