For this week its already hard to choose but those were stunning :

1- Violet Evergarden 1

Spoiler: pics

2- sora yori mo tooi basho 2 , this is impressively good so far, didnt expected to like it.

3- and Gintama

Spoiler: pics

+ special mention to Koi wa Ameagari no youni ep 1 which was beautiful

WIll only likely watch those with mahoustukai and possibly saiki this season i think. Started last season saiki and like it a lot, so hilarious ! Didint wait Mahoutsukai episode to be released as I know its awesome and I would like it, and considering how good were those news series debut, wanted to get a chance to promote them, Mahou is already hugely well received and probably wont need my vote.

[razerxs]

Another week of premieres
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
Sora yori mo Tooi Basho
Kokkoku

 

[Jammin]

I'll vote for...

- Overlord II
- Gintama
- Darling FranXX

Spoiler: Honorable Mentions

- Mahoutsukai no Yome - Good episode but it has used up it's allotment of cliffhanger endings for me. I refuse to vote for another episode ending with one of those.
- Grancrest Senki - Getting better and better. With some strong additions to the supporting cast. MC still needs some work though.

 

[Arjuna]

For now I nominate

Grancrest Senki

 

[Demonspeed]

For now:

Gintama.
Ryou no Oshigoto!

 

[Eternal Dragon Of ChaOZ]

Violet Evergarden

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure the Major is dead judging by their reactions. And then by what happens at the end.

I feel really sorry for Violet, she's basically a killing machine that only knows war and doesn't really know how to live properly and take care of herself without the help of others.

Colonel Hodgins seems to be a nice guy who wants to genuinely help her out.

A potential family to take her in and a job at the post office, that's a good start, might take a while for her to adapt though.

Wow that was quite the powerful emotional ending, Violet wants to know what love means after hearing those words from the major.

That's really cool, she now has a goal and ambition that will keep her moving on in life and looking ahead for the answer, she doesn't need any orders this time around.

Overlord II

Spoiler

A rubik's cube, that was unexpected, either way she it better than me at it, seen videos of people solving them in a matter of seconds.

If she is after an opponent than Ainz is perfect for her, though Albedo might have something to say about that considering all that talk about a child, freaky.

So even that dragon is interested in the existence of Yggdrasil items.

The opening music didn't blow me away like the 1st season but the video for it was great, definitely looking forward to seeing what transpires throughout.

I want what Aura is having, as long at the patty is reduced fat the the cola is sugar free.

Wow look at Shalltear drowning in booze like that, so she will feel better if Ainz scolds her, it's strange but that does sound about right.

Rather interesting that they have turned their attention to a lizard tribe, might find out more about it next episode.

Cardcaptor Sakura Clean-Card hen

Spoiler

Nice opening as always.

Thank goodness her dad was looking at her uniform, when I saw the arrow I thought he was looking at her chest, kinda seen to many animes where the arrow means they are looking at the part of the body.

Monster reference from Touya straight away lol.

I kinda miss her roller skating to school, maybe it's a nostalgia thing with me due to having blades of my own during the 90's.

Haha Tomoyo managed to capture that great reunion moment.

Nice to see she is still in contact with Eriol & Mizuki, & Nakuru is also there as usual, might see her bother Touya again at some point.

Right so now we understand the part about the clear card, but who is the mysterious person who gave Sakura the new staff and what are their intentions.

Windy was her 1st card encounter in the original, now she gets a Gale card to stay on the same kind of theme.

Honorable Mentions

Beatless

Spoiler

Decent 1st episode.

Bit of a rough start for Arato being thrown into it like that.

Being the master or something like Lacia would be really cool.

She can fight to protect you and cook 5 star meals.

I sort of get the gist of things with hIE's ect, will obviously learn more as the episodes progress.

I hope that red haired one isn't an enemy, she was very strong and looks incredibly dangerous.

Then there is the green haired one who wants to have fun of sorts.

Toji no Miko

Spoiler

Pretty good opening and ending for this.

Those 2 were on the run this entire episode and managed to be fine.

Kanami still wanted to have fun even in that situation lol.

We all love ice cream.

Ah so now we know what's going on, Origami is being controlled by the Aradama.

Kanami is pretty special, she's able to see what others cannot.

Death March kara Haimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku

Spoiler

Pretty nice guy, trying to help out that little girl.

Tough job he has, though I don't think he should work 30 hours straight, it can mess up your body big time, some people have even died due to not sleeping.

So he gets transported to the fantasy world he has been working on during his sleep.

Omg, when you can instantly level up to 310 with 1 spell, most op character in an instant.

thought it was funny how he casted it again and caused massive destruction.

At least he has water and new thread to help him out.

There's even a skill to learn a new language instantly, I need that in real life so I can learn Japanese.

He probably shouldn't have too much trouble defeating that Wyvern.

Looks like he might have found that girlfriend.

I thought this was pretty good, looking forward to watching more.

Grancrest Senki

Spoiler

When you become a lord and everyone else around you wants your head ans status, pretty tough life.

Luckily Siluca can summon a cat & has friend of her own to help out.

Aishela is one crazy woman but wow, she can really fight.

I thought that boy was going to get a literal kiss of death.

Moreno was a very tough opponent, would have liked to have seen more of that fight between him & Siluca.

Didn't expect Lassic to laugh & surrender like that, but he explained why.

Either way it's another ally, the more the merrier & Theo levels up again.

Mitsuboshi Colors

Spoiler

Ah so it actually is a panda looking cat.

I feel sorry for this Saito guy already, I can go these 3 will be a real nuisance to him.

Can't believe they got their hands on something like that, even more surprised that Sacchan did indeed catch the ammo.

Mitsuboshi Colors presents, man getting hit by rocket launcher, they must have really hurt but it was so funny at the same time, Kotoha rubbing salt into the wounds afterwards, she likes steeping on people's heads for some reason.

think that's the 1st time Iv'e seen someone go into a food store and ask them if they have any crap lol, no surprise she got yelled at.

this was very enjoyable and looking forward to watching more, it's a bunch of young kids being young kids going on adventures and having fun at everyone else's expense.

Just a quick reminder if anyone wants to nominate Nanatsu no Taizai. Thanks to the usual Netflix BS and that as far as I can see the only non-trash subs were released today, it will be counted as a sunday show.
