I'm gonna rate this past week of shows that I watched from Monday through today because I don't care about proper order or episode numbers:
1) Re: Zero (ep 9)
2) Kabaneri (ep 8)
3) Bungou Stray Dogs (ep 9)
4) Asterisk Wars (ep 22 or ep 10 of season two)
5) My Hero Academia (ep 10)
Zero moved along nicely this episode, and it looks like they're finally getting ready to wrap up this arc before starting the second cour. They've drug things out a bit, so it will be nice to move forward. I hope the second cour has slightly better pacing. That said, Rem and Ram have become pretty interesting characters.
Kabaneri got a new few characters, none of them seem good in a moral sense, and the various developments are done well. This really is a relatively high quality anime this season. Not consistently the best week over week, but once the season is complete, it will probably be a memorable show.
Bungou set things up really well for what looks like it will be an awesome next episode. It has been kind of touch and go, and its efforts at humor aren't always successful, but when it tries to be serious, things get dark and violent pretty quickly in a quality fashion. It isn't simply melodramatic all of the time. At this point, I'm glad this one has a second cour coming this Fall.
My Hero Academia wasn't necessarily bad, but it continues to disappoint with magnificently awful pacing. I'm glad we could spend the whole episode on everybody talking about how they feel like they should act. It uh, it really did...something. It seriously needs a redeeming second season since so far, the show is really feeling like a 6.5 on the high end for me.
I already talked about Asterisk in a different post I'm pretty sure. Regardless, I feel the same way about it every week anyways.
