Checked out more of this season’s premieres.
Champignon Witch - it has a fairy tale feel. I somehow expected it to be cute and episodic, but it turned out to be a drama with an actual plot and thought-out lore.
The Darwin Incident - the story raises interesting philosophical questions, but so far lacks in execution. The writing feels rather bland.
The Holy Grail of Eris - managed to interest me in the conspiracy behind Scarlett’s death.
The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife - pairing up a blind woman with an invisible guy, who happens to be a gentleman in a suit, is a genius move. It’s sweet and wholesome, but, since they are both adults, I expect to see more spicy moments as their romance develops.
Isekai Office Worker: The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter - the premise sure was premising at the start of the second episode. It was premising so hard I remembered my fujoshi days and screamed all the way. A BL isekai with an adult cast was unseen in anime form before this one, I believe. It’s fun seeing Aresh get frustrated with Seiichirou’s corporate slave mindset. That long “Haaaaaaaaaaaah?” when Seiichirou ran off to work right after waking up was hilarious. May a hot man heal that unrepentant workaholic and change his unhealthy lifestyle.
A Gentle Noble’s Vacation Recommendation - an isekai about a noble transported from one fantasy world to another and being extremely chill about it. I’m a bit confused about the title, because the guy decides to become an adventurer of all things. I don’t see BL in genres tags, but the vibe is there. It looks and feels like isekai targeted at female audience. Fascinating we got two of them in one season all of a sudden. I don’t know what to make of it so far, but I’ll keep watching for now; I quite enjoy hearing Souma Saitou’s calm noble voice.
Love Through A Prism - haven’t finished it yet, but one thing I appreciate about it is how the story’s progress gives the drama time to develop so that it doesn’t feel forced or like coming from nowhere and characters’ grievances feel believable. Having 20 episodes certainly helps.
Kaya-chan Isn’t Scary and Scum of the Brave - I would give both more episodes in a slightly less busy season, but with Love Through A Prism batch release and Fushigi Yuugi and Dear Brother, which I started when the current season wasn’t in full swing yet, something had to be sacrificed, and nothing about these two particularly stood out to me.
Fall 2025 leftovers
To Your Eternity Season 3 - Fushi has finally realized that his friends have got to live their own lives and there is nothing he can do to prevent them from struggling and facing new challenges. Heartbreaking. This story is at its best when it focuses on Fushi and his friends instead of nokkers.
Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider - Still fun. I’ve seen people being disappointed with ramen-loving idol episodes, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. I mean, Sena just went and domesticated a powerful Shocker, isn’t it hilarious? I wonder if it would be relevant to the plot later. Maybe Kumota would feel a tinge of sympathy for humans or something.
