Last week's premieres

Both The World Is Dancing and Jaadugar were as good as I expected them to be, so I was most impressed with Sunflower Circus and Sparks of Tomorrow premieres. The former reminded me of my favourite all-female cast anime about girls with distinct personalities becoming good friends while chasing their dreams, and I adore those.

Goodbye, Lara had a strong start, as well. Loved the vibrant colours, and the way they packed The Little Mermaid retelling into one episode worked really well – now the story can take an unknown turn and go from tragedy in the foreign ~~lands~~ waters to comedy in Japan.

Please Excuse My Younger Brothers was better than I expected it to be, so it's nice to see it has 24 episodes. I'll see if I can finish it.

Polar Opposites Season 2 was, unsurprisingly but appreciatively, a pure delight.

100 Girlfriends Season 3 has no right to be this funny. I just love how it takes stupid or problematic tropes and makes it amusing and wholesome. No harem MC's ever done it – and never will – like Rentarou does, and those fourth wall breaks remind me of my beloved Gintama. Keep doing what you're doing, Hyakkano staff.

Draw This, Then Die! didn't wow me like Sunflower Circus did, but it's something akin to it and looks pretty fun. Maybe it will grow on me.

Drop zone

Recommendations from Iwamoto-Senpai - from the author of Nurarihyon, which I enjoyed when I could easily digest Jump's shounen, so despite its bad production values I'm willing to give it an episode or two to see ~~all the guys from the key visual~~ where the story goes.

The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power - this one was boring and tropey but didn't show the male lead yet, so it has a chance to redeem itself. What I didn't expect, though, is that both The Ogre's Bride and Kimiai would be even worse. A disappointing situation on the fantasy romance front.

Immediate drop

Yani Neko - did find the PV hilarious, but the episode itself was miserably unfunny. Plus, I really dislike movie references; they give me the ick for some unknown reason.

Let's Go Kaikigumi - another one with the comedy that didn't work for me.
