Last week's premieres

I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day - one of the protagonists is how old? 10? Yeah, not sure if I want to continue this.

The Ghost in the Shell - the story itself wasn't hard to follow, but the whole episode looked so visually busy it was overwhelming at times. Not completely bought on it just yet (might be due to my falling out of love with cyberpunk some time ago), but it was a prologue, and I'm really digging the art style and this goofy version of Motoko.

Red River - I'm yet to see why shoujosei fans praise this story. The MC is frustrating, but that means she has a lot of room to grow. As for the direction and animation, I wish they left old shoujo alone at this point, it's a product of its time and they can't – or don't want to – do it justice; better focus on adapting modern titles.

My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren't Wicked - liking it so far. I don't even mind if the joke repeats itself in many different ways, but there are hints for something beyond that.

Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky - bland. Drop.

Also dropping all three fantasy romances - Oblivious Saint, Kimiai and The Ogre’s Bride - from last week's drop zone. Any other season I'd probably let my inner raccoon out and go, yay, my trash, but this one offers so many things to be excited and joyful about I'm struggling to justify watching these. Might pick them up again, though, if I'm too bored between seasons.
