Not a serpent in my garden. They introduced Momoka to torture me personally.

So it was a complete adaptation. Great finale for this gem of a show, which gradually became one my spring favourites.

Seira bringing a whole band for Aimi and Nami to perform The Licky Love Song in front of Kirio was as beautiful as the Moon, at which Aimi howled with tears in her voice. Tsuki ga kirei, truly.

Summer Season

Definitely watching:

• The Elusive Samurai Season 2 - The first season was the highlight of Summer 2024 for me, so I’m very much looking forward to the sequel.

• The World Is Dancing - The first time I saw the announcement I went, “Tokiyuki-dono, is that you?” Lucky me getting both this and Nigewaka in the same season. Pretty sure it will be my AOTS contender.

• Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia - Science Saru, Naoko Yamada, interesting visuals. Historical setting dominates my top-3 most anticipated anime of this summer.

• You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2 - Azuma-Taira development?

• The Ghost in the Shell - The first GITS adaptation I’ll enjoy? Crossing my fingers.

• Sparks of Tomorrow - Kyoani makes it a must-watch for me. That silver-hair antagonist annoys me already, though (in a bad way).

• Goodbye, Lara - An original based on The Little Mermaid. I like its art style.

• 100 Girlfriends Season 3 - Let’s go, the only harem anime.

• Behind the Supermarket, Smoking with You - I liked what I saw in those pre-released short episodes.

Interested in:

• Grow Up Show: Sunflower Circus - An original about girls chasing their dreams.

• Red River - On the one hand, yay, old shoujo fantasy, and the one I haven’t read at that. On the other hand, I know of the industry’s disrespect for this particular demographic, so I’m kind of torn. I like shoujo but it’s better experienced as manga mostly.

• Yani Neko - PV was grossly hilarious, so I’m giving it a shot.

• My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren’t Wicked - Expecting a wholesome comedy.

• I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day - I prefer my yuri to focus on grown-up women but I’ll still check this one out since it’s always about teens with anime.

Will watch the premiere to decide if I want to stick with it:

• Draw This, Then Die!

• Recommendation from Mr. Iwamoto

• Let’s Go Kaikigumi

• The Ogre’s Bride

• The Oblivious Saint Can’t Contain Her Power

• The Duke’s Son Claims He Won’t Love Me Yet Showers Me with Adoration

• Victoria of Many Faces

• Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky

• Please Excuse My Younger Brothers

Fune wo Amu. It’s about making a dictionary.

Haven’t read any of Nao Iwamoto’s works, but just a week ago watched a Manben episode with her; was impressed with the line work and backgrounds. Gold Kingdom and Water Kingdom movie, an adaptation of Iwamoto’s earlier work, was good as well, so I’m looking forward to it.

Haven’t heard comedic anime rapping in ages. Brings a nostalgic tear to my eye.

Interesting how Aimi’s idea of a curse is to get covered in poop and Nami’s is to go on a date with Kirio.

Aimi is so unapologetically cringe, no wonder Nami is in love with her.

And the episode ended on an interesting note again. What exactly did Aimi lie about? Seems like there is some drama behind all the comedy.

So the yuri potential I smelled from the trailer wasn’t completely off base?

I liked it. This author knows how to write interesting characters and compelling relationships.

It was a joyful show. Cute and funny. One of my winter favourites.

The window spell connecting the two worlds looked interesting. His Majesty won’t stop until he brings Lizel back to his original world. Must be reassuring for Lizel.

Disappointed none of my gaysekai got a second season announcement. I’ll miss this non-BL BL show. I quite enjoyed it, despite its flaws and mainly thanks to the main cast and Lizel’s dynamic with everyone.

Changes of Heart, I Have a Crush at Work, Ladies on Top.

And here I thought Yoshiko would snatch Ooji but the girl’s taste is more refined.

Yoi inherited the flowers aura from her dad.

Ooji is slowly losing the points he never had. I don’t feel like rooting for him at all.

I regret to inform myself that Kohaku gets a pass. He was cute. Cuteness is justice.

Yoi-chan kawaii.

Animation IS the afternoon tea. To me.

This episode was pretty fun.
