Three weeks into the season! As always, I grab at least 5 currently airing shows and see them through. Most are usually crap but at least one or two end up being decent.

Here's a list of anime I'm watching this spring. I'll share a brief progress report. Usually my conclusions at the end of the season end up with my thoughts at this point, but who knows.

• Lazarus
• Gorilla no Kami
• Shoushimin Series s2
• Sentai Daishikkaku s2
• Kapekisugite Kawaige
• Your Forma
• Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato

Lazarus : this is a netflix anime. My copy is English dubbed. The premise is kind of interesting: a miracle cure against all diseases, now commonplace throughout the world, has been hacked to kill everyone who's taken it because the designer is depressed to see the state of humanity. Not very good, maybe 5/10.

Gorilla no Kami : this is what I would call a "girl anime". Loser girl suddenly becomes interesting to lots of handsome, charming, popular boys. The basic premise of this show is okay: everyone gets blessed with an animal spirit's power part way into high school, and this girl got blessed with the super fast, strong, and rare gorilla spirit. It's not great but it's kind of funny so maybe a 6/10.

Soushimin Series, s2 : the autistic high school detectives are back. Most of season 1 was dumb but detective animes are far and few between. The girl detective remains pretty adorable and the art for the show is great. Season 2 has a stronger direction and it's interesting seeing how things go on after the boy and girl detectives break up. 7/10

Sentai Daishikkaku, s2 : Go go loser ranger is doing well in its second season so far, a reverse power rangers story, 7/10

Kanpekisugite Kawaige : Another "girl anime." Fantasy kingdoms keep a saint on hand who handles all the background stuff that's necessary for keeping the kingdom running smooth. Our protagonist is a super genius and the most talented witch.... ever... just about, but her kingdom looks down on her because she's autistic and "too perfect." So she gets sold off to a neighboring kingdom where everyone licks her boots clean and the handsome charming prince is dazzled by her and blah blah blah. The art is pretty decent and this anime has some potential so I'm prematurely calling it 7/10.

Your Forma : another detective show, set in the future with androids and magic clothing. I tentatively call it another girl anime. The art is pretty good but it's terribly forgettable. This is going to wind up as a 5/10

Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato : another detective show and girl anime. Protag is secretly a crazy rich Asian but hides it from the other police to try and fit in. She's pretty incompetent but her new handsome butler also ends up to be a genius when it comes to solving crimes so he feeds her the answers so she can show off what a great cop she is to her equally dumb but prideful and rich man cop coworker. It's kind of funny at least so maybe a 6/10, still pretty forgettable

If you want dumb fun, I think Gorilla no Kami is where it's at. Go back and check out Shoushimin Series and Sentai Daishikkaku and you'll know whether or not the seasons 2 are worth your time. If swords and sorcery fantasy politics girl anime is your thing, give Kapekisugite Kawaige a shot. Otherwise this is a slop season.
