I liked the paper flipbook animation in the B part. The A part was very Pop Team Epic (derogatory). I'd like more megami fanservice.

I'd wondered what the show was going to be about now that main girl wants her replica to stop being popular. The answer was apparently "continue to send the replica to school to be popular." I don't know. I watched like a minute and decided to drop it.
Miku is cute and it's decently enjoyable, though. I like that the MC doesn't consider Miku to be a girl when he panics about not having talked to girls since elementary school.

The animation quality seems to be as-expected from how much it relies on CG for mid-range shots. Personalities are still kinda one-note. I wish there was more genuine osananajimi content than just the aishiteru game they're playing.
The B-part lost me during the fundraising stuff where I got bored and zoned out, but the resolution afterwards was alright.

A-part was fun. The gag leading up to the bubble tea store, the health monitor rounding the corner and then being found unconscious on the floor, and the "thinking time" gags were all pretty good.
When Coco walks past the alleyway, I didn't see the blurry figure in the background at first, so I wondered why she stopped and was looking down an empty alley for so long. I wonder how easy that is to miss for other people.
The storyboarding is usually pretty bland imo so I was pleasantly surprised by this shot I liked.
The dragon showing up is the volume end cliffhanger, but happens 2/3 of the way into the episode. It is followed by some unfunny Qifrey comedy, and then the episode ends in the middle of the next chapter.

Poor timing and tonal dissonance remain problems, but the structure of this episode seems pretty questionable.
He looks over and we see two ojiisans and a JK and he looks back and calls the boss a lolicon lol
Gratuitous scenes of all the girls getting stabbed. That was something.
#ghostconcert 03
This is a real mess. The singing/technology part and the ghost Prisma Illya stuff don't mesh at all.
These two are gayer than what's going on in Kamiina Botan.
Rui studying magic from a book and ending up with a setup that's freaking the pink one out was funny.
The head motions when characters think and speak is pretty cute. Especially Fuu. Extra polish on the animation when Rui is singing.
#lululili 03
Enjoying how laid back the atmosphere is. I was surprised it was bold enough to structure the flashback to the pink cat talking to Rui for the first time after showing them already talking to each other. Something targeted at kids probably wouldn't do that out of order.

I thought this was going to be more about other characters being influenced by KAngel, but this episode is about her backstory, so I guess not. There's not a narrative yet. I might drop it at this point.
Unfortunately, actually watching an episode reminds me the sense of timing is really stinky and the emotional beats aren't doing anything for me. But that aside, the comedic moments are enjoyable, and it certainly does look really nice.
#4seasons_anime 04
This week I was talking about what shows are good looking this season, and how WHA is kind of bland in that regard, and while skimming through previous episodes of this anime I was impressed by how nice it looks.
The ribbon in her hair was a cute touch, would've been nice to have a scene of them fussing over her and putting clothes and accessories on her to make her look like a gullible ojousama.
#mao 03
Still pretty bland, but I like Nanoka and I'm interested in the mystery surrounding the death of her parents. There's nothing going on between her and Mao right now, which feels weird for a Takahashi Rumiko story.
The village seems obviously untrustworthy if his parents ran away along with his sister, but he's pretty fine hanging out with the village's agents.
#yominotsugai 03
I still feel like this is going nowhere. After opening the show with trying his hardest to get away from Asa, Yuru decides his goal is to find Asa. It's not written like he's thought about that. And there's not even a clear way for him to try to find her.
I humbly dedicate myself in service to the queen

I had a really good time with it this week, for whatever reason. Iruma only being able to imagine food while playing the piano was pretty funny. A lot of the gags got me, like the dancing with Nee-san.
Oneesans are the superior version of the imouto. Anyone who says otherwise is a filthy casual.
I at least like that it doesn't shy away from acknowledging the MC is helping her because he'll get lucky sukebei scenes out of it.
And the way he fits in with her stuffed animal class is funny.
#yowayowasensei 02
A lot more boring than last week. I liked the oneesan bits in the B part, but that's about it. I don't like how easy it was to dispel the illusion that sensei is scary, since that's the gimmick and why the MC has to be the one to team up with her.
