Just for reminding, this season has only ten episodes. I really recommend to check the ending — itʼs good, and made by colour pencils (Iʼm not mistaken).
And Netflix realesed Prism Rondo with twenty episodes at once. But in reality it would be around twenty two by time spending, because two episodes [around sixth, and the last] are longer in two time. Sometimes I like the such way of realeased, but usually I donʼt. I wish I dropped it earlier, because it very clichéd, and not well delivered. It's fine made, but storytelling is very weak. But maybe itʼs just me: Iʼm not this kind auditory for this show.
For compare, I also watched Kobayashi-san Chi no Maidragon: Samishigariya no Ryuu which also not provide nothing new or special in storytelling meaning, but it was delivered very well. But for this you should watch previous serials in this franchises. In short, itʼs about Kanna.
And another movie Fureru. Itʼs about communication, friends with some supernatural thing. Again, nothing new, even a classic trick as «girls destroyed boys frienship» was used, but itʼs just a fine middle-tier movie which I liked too. Just in case, at the first minutes you may think that itʼs BL, heh. But it isnʼt.

Android wa Keiken Ninzuu ni Hairimasu ka??
Itʼs basically an almost-hentai / a hard-ecchi about clanker-yuri. If youʼre interested, I recommend to watch uncensored version for sure, because, as I know, othervise you would watch censored kissing, yeah... For some reason, I still remember a kiss scene in Ex-Arm… Just in case, animation isn't bad here. Sadly, one episode is very short: somewhere around five minutes, if not shorter.
I know, if I want something longer, better for me to check the second seasond of Mato Seihei no Slave, but there's a problem: I dropped on the first episede during the first season due at least two reasons: low quality, and MahoAko with kinda the same nich was airing. For the start Iʼll see how many do I have ongoings, if not so many then maybe I will watch all. As I know, the second season is better in quality: we have a new studio here — Passione, itʼs them who made Nukitashi; for compare, the old studio were Seven Arcs which also made the second season of Grand Blue, and where animation was notable very cheap / low.
Oh... to much text for this title, heh.
-
Seihantai na Kimi to Boku
Suprised me. From the name of the title I expected a classic repetable gag content, whichʼs I usually don't like, and very common today. But no, the first episode is solid in storytelling.
It also has a good animation, and an incredible openning which I recommend to check it, even if you don't like SoL / romcom: itʼs typical and atypical — a fresh thing here.
Btw, while weʼre speaking opening then I should mention one from Shibou Yuugi de Meshi o Kuu (which I mentioned in the previous week thread): yeah, where we saw just cars and nothing else... it was a opening, yeah — I realized it only on the second episode, heh. Indeed a fresh moment. An ending here is incredible for sure tho, thereʼs already a full version song.
-
Toumei Otoko to Ningen Onna
Basically romcom / SoL around detective agency, but with supernatural things, where a main heroine is blind, and her partner is invisible. While I mentioned detective, the first episode doesn't have it so much; our heroine isn't detective, but just works in detective office. But itʼs very cute, keep near you antidiabet meds, (;
For now, the situation with blind is for sure better than in Majutsushi Kunon wa Mieteiru where it feels more like a chūnibyō moment.

-
Yūsha-kei ni Shosu
Dark fantasy (and probably adventure), where hero is also forced work as punishment (thus partly reminds 86). Very good animation and style, it reminds me the first season [I didnʼt watch newer] of Mushoku Tensē, but with darker gamma; just in case, there're different studios.
I also like how [most] monsters are created here: they're just really mutated real animals (how about a mutated snail?). There were trolls too, but I guess/hope, they're mutated monkeys or humans.
-
Shibou Yuugi de Meshi o Kuu
Very aesthetic anime, maybe the most in this season. From the same director and studio as from Gimai Seikatsu (a different source author tho). Basically
CGDCTa death/high stakes game as American movie series Saw (literally, there were a room with saws), Korean serial Squid Game, anime Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor and so on. -
Arne no Jikenbo
Maybe I won't like this in future, because of storytelling: episodical + supernatural + detective. Sometimes I like it, for an example Undead Farce Murder, but it has not only episodical theme, and there were very good chemistry between characters, which isn't case here (at least for now). But for sure, it has a very good the first episode.
-
Ikoku Nikki
Good animation and direction (maybe it was in original source, but I usually don't read any). For an example I liked turning lines from a note to desert. Also I usually like slice-of-life [in this case, itʼs with depression or sad direction], so I pick it anyway, and can recommend [for now] it to other too.
While I mentioned what I like, then there's a list of slice-of-life [this season is kinda richer on this than many previous] with a wide spectre: from a trash-romcom to just iyashikē which I probably cann't recommend to anyone but I liked, in shorts: my guilty-pleasures.
-
Kirei ni Shite Moraemasu ka
Basically about washing and around.
-
Osananajimi to wa Lovecome ni Naranai
A trash-romcom where «a harem» based on childhood friends. The same director and studio (but again a different source author) as in Kanojo mo Kanoji, there're many similarities. For some reason, the blue heroine really reminds Windows 7-tan, even the hair accessory is very similar.
-
Mayonaka Heart Tune
Sadly, animation isn't good. But Iʼll check more episodes. Our boy will try to make girlsʼ dream — related to voicing jobs — real. Bonus: v-tuber Suisē Hoshimachi sings the openning.
-
Darwin Jihen
By many aspects it reminds Banana Fish: animation / style (a director / a studio aren't the same tho), locations (the US), some components (brutality, criminal and so on) etc; for sure, not for BL. By topics it closer to Tarzan, but instead a person which was rosen between monkey, we have a monkey-human from a monkey; and less non-comedy. To additional we have PETA, but as a terrorist organization. The first episode was not bad.
To be fair, there're more titles I liked, but they still need additional checks, and for now those are for sure the best, and mostly would be watched by me in the future. From the previous season I still watch Gnosia, Tōjima Tanzaburou wa Kamen Rider ni Naritai — those I also can recommend, espesially the former; and Monster Strike Deadverse Reloaded — cann't recommend, but I watch just for no reason.
Among old animes, I watched HenSemi (BD version, so less censorship): about pervents and pervented topic under psychology topics, an episode is half-shorted — ~10 min, thus it was easily to watch at once. I liked it in general, but, obviously, itʼs not for anyone.

A movie Hyaku m.
A classic spokon as possible, the only notable difference from average that this covers more career, because most spokons are limited to school. About 100-meter run race. Heavely rely on rotoscopy, and in some cases where it for sure not intended itʼs very notable, thus kinda bad, but not to critical level.
-
TV Special with two episodes: Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Otona e no Kaidan
Nothing to say, basically it's the same, as previous seasons: slice-comedy, but here in style of an afterword. And the second episode brings really something interesting, heh.
-
«TV Special» with five episodes, if to be more precise, just a missed arc about Kaho from the [previous] first season: Watashi ga Koibito ni Nareru Wake Nai jan, Muri Muri! (*Muri ja Nakatta!?): Next Shine! Mai for me is still the best, heh.
About the new winter season Iʼll write in the next threads, when most the first episodes of new titles will be released (it usually takes around two-three weeks).

Ehm… if you bring Korea here, you assume, Ukraine would have a good secury guaranty? If so, then why Ukraine doesn't see any realized guaranty already? Just for compare & reminding, Korea already had allies during the war on their lands (which isnʼt totally the same case here). So DMZ isnʼt possilbe here. Canʼt say about Kashmir so, because I donʼt know their situation. But I know about Ukraine & Russia very well. So… where are you from?

Comment on Does anyone have a digg invite code I can get ? in ~tech
And, I guess, my last ongoing in this season appeared in this week: Medalist, the second season. And a reason is kinda simple here, whichʼs similar to Frieren one: thereʼre only nine episodes, and thereʼs already news that in the next year thereʼll be a movie. Well, the trendʼs going on. It could be just me, but animation became alittle better. Wow, ENGI.
And there was another release from Netflix: Chou Kaguya-hime!, a movie with around two hours and twenty two minutes. And, yeah, as @Flashfall noted, thereʼre enough voicebank references — including mentioned and famous World is Mine, — not only just in songs, but in visual sometimes too (as an example by kVin); whichʼs a good bonus if youʼre in the topic. One of the best standalone non-franchise movie in last years, at least for me. From the time I watched, I listened many times songs from there, mostly Hoshi Furu Umi.
