Finished "Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt", this shyt was the definition of mid. I thought it was going to be a parody of Western Adult Animation. Though it feels like it is trying to imitate it and the jokes were pretty flat & repetitive. Though maybe a few made me chuckle, I don't get the anime community loves this anime 
. Also, the storytelling is pretty nonsensical even compared to parodies like Konosuba & Hyakkano,
Might just check out the sequel because Trigger is doing it and they one of the best studios running right now.

Watched Takopi episode 2. This is clearly torture porn given this episode. Just another heads about this show.
You can easily tell that Shizuka's mom is awful. The one line that stands that she says to Shizuka here. Shizuka being bullied is because of her mother. It is ironic. I just wonder why Shizuka can't live with her dad?
Now I really don't like the direction they are taking with Marina. I get her looking at Shizuka as the root of her problems because she can't do much for her mom. The constant bullying just feels a bit too much. I also wonder what is really going on in her parent's situation.
I think this episode did a great at showing how much being bullied can affect you. When Takopi killed Marina, Shizuka felt saved. It was a bad thing, but for Shizuka she was saved. Essentially, Marina was the awful villain. Obviously, it wasn't the right way for Takopi to go about it. Though I wonder if he did it because he knew going back in time wouldn't change anything. I am curious what happens next.

Great finish for Apothecary Diaries S2. Right with Apocalypse Hotel for best of the season. One of the best usages of show not tell. Excited for S3. Though I do hope they take their time with S3.
It's been awhile since we saw Xiaolan. Though it is wonderful to see her moving on to the next stage of her life. Going from the gossip girl to finding her place is really sweet. Maomao rarely gets emotional, so the fact that the letter got her in tears really says a lot.
Nice to see the kids still living. I think the term of it being medicine rather than poison was the indicator in that. Nice to see Ah-Duo taking in 4 of the kids along with Suirei is good to see too. Honestly, Ah-Duo as a motherly figure is something that Suirei needs.
I am curious how Shisui survived. I am happy that now she can live her life how she wants to. No longer restricted to the binds of Loulan. Simply Tamamo. I expect that hairpin to make it back to Maomao someway. When though I wonder. For Tamamo I wonder if we will see her again.
Gyokuyou is now the Empress with the birth of her boy. Though with Jinshi more busy now, Maomao is back home. Very curious where S3 takes the series from here.

I have watched the first episode of "Secrets of the Silent Witch". It was a great first episode. It looks like it will adapt the first 3 books judging from the pacing of this episode.
I don't know how much of the staff of Konosuba is here, but Takaomi Kanasaki directing gives me lots of confidence. Honestly, the comedy direction with Monica was absolutely on point with her reactions to Louis. Also loved Nero talking to her, and he has a point that she should know who the person that she is supposed to be guarding look like.
Atsumi Tanezaki doing an impressive job with voicing Isabelle. Switching between Isabelle's normal voice with her doing the villainess impersonation was great. Also, the animation was wonderful too in both the scenes with the dragons and when Monica was using her magic when she was with Louis.
Can't wait to see more.

The epilogue is one I had to think about for a minute because Shisui carried so much of the weight of the Shi clan before she got shot. Basically, aimed to root out the evil at one spot as the previous episodes mentioned.Jinshi the simp that actually tries to get his...but fails regardless
Not sure how I feel about Shisui's fateI think it was more powerful if that epilogue didn't happen.
I think as long as the character Loulan is dead, I think I can live with it. It is still plot armor plot assuming the hairpin blocked the lethal shot on her torso and since the other one was around her arm/shoulder, which should be non-lethal plus. Also, she fell in snow and there is a case she could have survived the fall. While I love how the show shows you rather than tells you, this stuff is a bit too subtle imo and could be easy to miss.
Plus, she has been a character that was bound as the doll Loulan for so long that it feels nice for her to live her life how she wanted to. I liked the emotional impact of the final scene.
I think I like it, but closer to feeling mixed about it then loving it if I had to say.
