The latest episode of Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai has a furry. She’s a wolf girl and she’s more wolf than girl. I’m not a furry, but she’s pretty cute.

Cannon Busters ep 6. Another good atmospheric ep.
A rather blunt and torturous way to make Philly reexamine what he has done with his life and the power he’s been granted. I do like the idea that simply being granted power and dead parents would not magically motivate someone to be a hero. I supposed this is setting him up to learn responsibility or whatever, but there are worse lessons to learn. At the very least, this was another nice departure from the archetype, and it sets up an interesting conflict in the end.
This show is shaping up to be somethin’.
Dr. Stone ep 8. I’m glad the new kid has a watermelon on her head, as it’s a reprieve from this show’s “funny” faces.
Senku now has to do his new companions’ personal quests to gain allies for his kingdom. The video game elements have been the better parts of the show, as the actual narrative drama isn’t that interesting. It’s just modern-day melodrama, and neither the setting nor Senku’s cold approach add a new perspective to it. And I appreciate the show acknowledging that Senku’s mentality of “taking over” the village isn’t the most heroic.
Given ep 7. I sure am a sucker for romances that depict love as something that makes you vulnerable, not something that magically fixes all of your problems.
Uenoyama talked about his sexuality with Akihiko. Not as well executed as Bloom into You, but it’s nice to have scenes like this. It’s refreshingly honest to have characters doubt themselves in this way, and it’s nice to have a role model there to tell them that they’re alright.
I liked Ayano admitting that it was petty of her to bring up Mafuyu’s past, and I liked that Uenoyama forgave her for it.
The flashback to Murata was not as good, felt like a lot of “tell, don’t show” and didn’t feel particularly relatable. Murata’s music was good, though.
Bold decision by Akihiko to give his kouhai a strong, direct push. I appreciate it from a storytelling perspective, because this likely means they won’t spend a lot of time spinning their wheels. But the whole band is in such a delicate place, they could easily fall apart.

Granbelm ep 8. They have the same eyes.
Welp, there were some unexpected consequences to the events of the previous ep. As I’m still kind of unsure of what to think of Anna, I’m not entirely sure what to think of her story ending like this. I suppose this, too, is part of the theme of an uncaring universe. The world won’t wait for you to make up your mind, it just moves on.
Mangest and Shingetsu are at an interesting point in their relationship, where they are each trying to save the other from their self-hatred. And because they don’t have that much confidence in themselves, all they can do is be there for the other. I can’t remember another show where this a mutual thing.
The storyboarding around Suishou was superb. The way she sowed doubt into her enemy’s minds was some good villainy. This show has clearly has sailed passed subtext now, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any less messy. The mystery boxes have me concerned, though. It would be disappointing if these conflicts were resolved via magic ass-pulls.
O Maidens ep 8. Fuck yeah, Kazusa.
Holy shit, one of the best eps of the year. I was absolutely floored by what Sugawara did at the second reading, then Kazusa topped it. She accepted her friend’s feelings at that moment, but she did not give up on herself. Fuck yeah, Kazusa. So goddamn proud of you.
Loved the talk between Sonezaki and the gyaru. A quick conversation dispelling Sonezaki’s preconceptions. And as a fan of gyarus, I appreciate the positive representation.
There are some issues left to be resolved in the last third, but I’ll ride this wave of positivity for now.

This is real, by the way. Someone actually took the meme and did it to their actual mom.

Cannon Busters ep 7. Opens with a display of power from the main antagonist. I liked the king continuing to challenge him, even as he was getting tortured. They’re already hinting at a redemption story, and I’m a bit worried on how the show’s going to earn that.
I thought maybe Kelby and Odin knew that masked attacker or something, but no? Was just being a woman the “twist?“ It doesn’t seem to be a significant scene, but I’m still disappointed this show isn’t above that.
I liked the quick discussion about dispensable lives in war. Clearly, Kelby disagreed with Odin that the robots are replaceable because he had made an emotional connection to them, but what struck me was Kelby looking at the dead mooks Odin killed minutes before. They’re flesh and blood, but they’re nameless and faceless. They’re dispensable as well because we weren’t given the chance to make a connection with them. I was wondering how this show would humanize its robotic characters, and it nailed it there.
Symphogear XV ep 8. There it is. The Tachibana Hibiki that makes all of this shit work.
Nothing surprising this ep. Carol got a song, Fudou backstabbed Vanessa, next boss is Miku. Transitioning to what should be a good last third. I’m bit concerned if this season have multiple endings like last season, but we’ll see.

Moving On 
Just 18 more episodes until I finish Naruto. Why didn’t just have a hiatus instead of wasting 2 years of filler?

But she still wear melon helmet in manga as far I know.
