    I have managed to check out a couple of the new shows, though I have been staying clear of the leaked series so far. Some quick thoughts:

    • Bartender - Really enjoyed the first episode. Seems like it is going to be a quality iyashikei.
    • 7th Prince - Interesting first episode. Lots of fan service as expected, I am hoping that the magic/combat visuals can hold up. The first episode was promising in that regard.
    • Spice and Wolf - I never watched the original, so I am looking forward to seeing this one. First episode was slow, but promising.
    • GO! GO! Loser Ranger! - Had fun with this one. I hope the production stays nice through the season with an unproven studio.
    • Appraisal Aristocrat - Decent start so far. I had forgotten some details from the manga in this early part of the story. Looking forward to more.

    Shows continuing from last season:

    • Delicious in Dungeon - Great stuff. The mysteries deepen as the show becomes darker in tone.
    • Tsukimichi - New OP is chock full of spoilers and promises that the story is going to progress a lot over the second cour.
    • Metallic Rouge - The finale aired this past week. What an incredible disappointment of a show. If the synopsis sounds interesting to you, just watch the OP instead, which is the high point of the show by far.

    Some quick meta updates from me this week. First, I pushed a couple quick updates to the bot:

    • Posting delay - The bot will now post an episode 1 hour after the episode start time. This is to fix issues where the api reports a 0 minute duration of an episode so the bot ended up posting the thread early.
    • Nicer messages - I tweaked some of the bot’s responses to pm’s.

    I have taken some of the downtime between seasons to try to create some more clips of shows. I have a handful I made (first one was here), and I will be posting those over the next week or two. I am hoping to try to do this more regularly going forward. If anybody wants to make clips but doesn’t know how, I have honed my ffmpeg skills to a fine edge at this point and can help you out.
