Want to highlight to shows completed this week, both of which have eyebrow-raising premises at first glance.

TsumaSho: Yeah, lol at the official localizations omitting the “My Wife is Reincarnated as an Elementary School Student” part (they don’t want to get cancelled). It would be a really good moving-on story about getting to terms of the MC losing his wife,

if they did not deceive Takae about him and his co-worker Moriya getting married. Wow, it’s been a long time since I was royally pissed over an ending. I did ship Keisuke and Moriya, but the more problematic part is the insult to the audience’s (and Takae’s) intelligence that his dead wife would be contented because of a fake proposal.

It’s bad enough for the rating to drop down a notch because of one episode.

Tawawa on Monday: Features not just an age gap and a student-teacher relationship, but also some more “mundane” ones like an office senpai-kouhai and high-schoolers who are childhood friends. Even without the fanservice, its story punches well above its four-minute episode length. They were able to weave different plot (and “plot”) points together into a coherent story. The top-notch voice acting adds to the enjoyment. My favorite is Kayano Ai’s performance as Kouhai-chan. Unironically watched this for the plot.
