At this moment, this is my complete watchlist. One is on verge of being dropped soon, but I do enjoy a lot of these for their own reasons. Glad all these varied bits of things came out to live their own truths.

Spice and Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf Episode 16
Found on Crunchyroll
I remember how this arc concludes and it's a great conclusion, but this episode was absolutely stellar and full of pain. Especially with the episode starting with the huge deal being placed better Lawrence and Fermi over Fermi paying off Holo's debt and then asking for her hand in marriage. Holo and Lawrence do look in good spirits then Holo learned about the fate of her home and then it got worse. Oh my goodness did the hammers that kept falling feel so authentic
Episode Rating: Good (ooof)
Wonderful Precure Episode 25
Found on Crunchyroll
Absolutely fun team bonding episode with the precure at the beach and there are extremely cute turtles too. I mean, Iroha was amazing at all the physical things at the beach like swimming and surfing and stuff while everyone else struggled just moving in the water. Plus there were sea turtle eggs and the Garugaru sea turtle helped the crew work together to save it and the eggs. Just worked exceptionally as well. I like how Yuki actually called Iroha and Komugi by name.
Episode Rating: Good
The Fable Episode 16
Found on Hulu
Again, how does this show exist? Akira and Kuro are in the woods fighting a bear to make it fear humans. Also, Yoko owning her drink battle and just destroying the localized womanizer. Just peak action and comedy. I'm just not sure what else I need to say.
Episode Rating: Solid. Amazing
Dead Dead Demons Dedede Destruction Episode 9
Found on Crunchyroll
Holy crap is this show just so mean and intensive in the biggest ways. The plots of the girls and the government's wars on aliens finally meet up in a horrible way in the end. It's graduation time and world change time as Kadode, Ontan, Ai, and Rin celebrate their graduation, missing Miho, moving, and just trying to live their best lives when the world is ending around them. New characters from the country moving to Tokyo with Futaba and Makoto (a boy who is finding himself by dressing cute) and they witness the government attack of a saucer and invaders falling from the sky in their airplane. The government can no longer hide the existence of invaders now. Plus, humanity is going to die in six months. Holy crap is this show just perfect in so many ways.
Episode Rating: Solid
Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture Episode 5
Found on Hulu
The Damocles really doesn't mean that much anymore, huh? The entire finale of the original Code Geass series was trying to take this thing and here it is on episode 5 of this show and it's gone now. Roze leads an invasion against Damocles that fails, but the back up of slowly taking it out and the attack forces with General Kuroto's assistance did alright. Plus, the combo of Ashe and Roze did work to generally save Sapporo. But that last bit with Damocle's wreckage over Sapporo that will take out how many people is huge. But Damocles doesn't mean anything. Neither does figure head Sakura (currently Sakuya)'s opinions not mattering are pretty huge too. I just, holy crap was this a good but makes me wonder about the fate of the show too.
Episode Rating: Good
Suicide Squad Isekai Episodes 6
Found on Hulu
The cast finally meet a group of villains they could've beat. I mean, the crew just returned to their fort after getting their bomb timers reset and the fort was destroyed by elves led by thinker and I forget who the green powered lady is. Yeah, the suicide squad got they asses kicked. It's crazy to see how everyone interacts like the queen wanting our squad killed and the princess letting them go. Very simple characters, which are a good cast, change so much from since they've gone and there is something going on to unify them. Wonderful.
Episode Rating: Good
Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 3
Found on Hi-Dive
A really mean, but truthful look at weekly vs monthly mangaka today. Akane and Aqua's date at a play showed Aqua how great that can be. Which also led to his obvious conclusion of Abiko never being able to write at that level. And obvious the only reason to get through to Abiko was through Yoriko sensei with some understanding through Aqua's request. This really was monthly vs weekly mangaka tension and then a resolve. I couldn't that my eyes off the screen the whole time, it was so good.

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings In Russian Episode 3
Found on Crunchyroll
I'm very thankful that there didn't have to see shots of Alya's feet and underwear this episode. Just great character writing from Alya's backstory of being an over achiever in Russia as a kid and then her transfer to Japan. The very moment of her meeting the complete loser Kuze while she's working very hard to make outfits for the culture festival by herself. So there are so many moments where Kuze got the class to work over time after school and then ask Alya for a dance. I see why she likes him. There was some Kuze and Yuki backstory and the Kuze going shopping with time member of the council.
Episode Rating: Good
Dungeon People Episode 3
Found on Hi-Dive
This show just continues to be great. Belle and Clay's employment and friendship is pretty interesting because they are two different people that you need to run a dungeon. Clay is the big mess of a person who is powerful and Clay is still ruthlessly efficient at everything. It was great to see Clay taking over the body of a skeleton in level 7 and defeating a group of explorers that hit on her a while ago. It was some really solid and well executed action scenes that show how scary Clay is. So yeah, just had a great time watching this episode.
Episode Rating: Solid
My Deer Friend Nokotan Episode 3
Found on Crunchyroll
Next episode is going to be the one where I decide to drop it or not. Can't say that I really enjoyed this one besides a few chuckles here and there. I think the idea of Koshi thinking that the deer came in was Noko and tried to make it turn back into Noko was a good idea. I wish it didn't mean Koshi had to embarrass herself further for nothing. The second part of when more members of the deer club appeared and Koshi being pushed aside as a joke by all members to be that great. Especially when Koshi tried to place logic in it too.
Episode Rating: Okay
Narenare -Cheer for You!- Episode 3
Found on Crunchyroll
My favorite episode of the show for and I wish this show had a three episode premiere because it connected everything together. Kanata finally shared that she couldn't jump to her friend in Physical therapy after Suzuha (parkour girl) gave it away. She's dealing with Yips. There was also an episode that Suzuha is learning to communicate with Shion and people in general while Shion is self conscious. So it's a good episode to show why these girls are joining this interconnected cheer group and what they are gaining from it.
Episode Rating: Solid
Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Episode 2
Found on Netflix
There is a pretty classic sort of a shonen battle things with how simplistic and yet fun it is. Especially with the way this is after a large arc in Kinnikuman (I'm assuming) because of three clans of Chogin coming together for peace and then it all falling apart because of one clan dismissing the person who signed the agreement and declaring war. Pretty classic and wonderful stuff with simple characters you can feel so much for. Terryman vs the new invaders really built up as Terryman's colleagues were destroyed. I can't wait to see where all of this goes.
Episode Rating: Good
Tower of God Season 2 Episode 3
Found on Crunchyroll
Not much to say in this episode because it pretty simple stuff. Viole is walking the path of being by himself and challenges the judge directly. On the other hand, the rest of the episode is a community one with characters forming their groups and then into a group building game involved with taking rooms and forming squads. It's entertaining and the characters are simple but impactful. No need to get into further detail.
Episode Rating: Good
The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies Episode 2
Found on Crunchyroll
This episode pushed the coming romance between Mira and Mimori a bit further. As in, Mimori discussed how many jobs she's been working to maintain herself and Mira clearly is trying to help her. I mean, he is keeping her alive with his crush and Mira couldn't be anymore infatuated. And it gets a bit worse when Mira saved Mimori from a tentacle monster and now he knows where she lives with the cat turning out to use Mimori for his own financial gains. Mimori couldn't be in a harder spot if she tried. Damn.
Episode Rating: Good
Bye Bye, Earth Episode 2
Found on Crunchyroll
I find myself so interesting in the world because as Belle does one thing or another in this world, like visiting a bar and defending her rabbit friend with her sword that carved up other people's swords from people instead of cutting up people themselves. She cannot kill people because of her curse and that's fascinating. Same with Belle meeting the king after meeting with her friend that saved her and their design and power is just so interesting. Same with people growing their swords and the fact they can die. I see what this show is going for on top of its pretty classic fantasy story and I really enjoy it quite a bit.
Episode Rating: Good
Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! Episode 2
Found on Crunchyroll
I wasn't expecting the classic locked in a sports closet trope with Kazuhiko and Lemon in a hot temperature as the two, mainly Lemon, get more and more delirious and just started taking taking her clothes off. Which really did set up the rest of the episode with their home room teacher closing the door thinking they were making out in the heat and the school nurse who is very interested beyond measure of the student relationships. This episode really did expose Lemon in a lot of ways and made Anna deeper in debt for lunches to push her relationship further.
