UlasanAnime.com – The author is currently watching an excessive number of anime series and is struggling to cut any of them, as it’s impacting their sleep and social life. They express a desire for at least 7 hours of sleep and the social benefits that come with a balanced lifestyle.
The author notes that several shows this season are doing interesting things and intends to discuss the ones they are particularly invested in and might consider cutting. They mention that any show not listed is either not being watched, cannot be cut, or is Hoshizora Kakeru Hashi, about which they have nothing to say despite watching it. Moshidora has already concluded.
Upon reviewing their list, the author observed that the more they write about a particular show, the stronger their attachment to it tends to be, though this isn’t always the case.
30-sai – This series offers practical advice in a humorous manner. The author likens it to a gossipy older sister or married friend offering help, contrasting it with Moshidora’s Drucker High School setting.
A Channel – The show stands out due to its quirky nature.
AnoHana – The author comments on the character designs, specifically Jintan’s t-shirts, suggesting they could be more sarcastic. More seriously, they praise the show’s depiction of how circumstances can amplify emotions, comparing the experience to being mesmerized by a cell screensaver. On a lighter note, they express a desire to see “Team Menma” cosplays featuring multiple Yukiatsu cosplayers.
[C] – The character voiced by Tomatsu is described as a fiery and fun character to watch.

Blue Exorcist – The anime is noted for its excellent visual presentation.
Deadman Wonderland – The show’s progression is primarily driven by its mystery element, which is effective due to the expansive and unique setting.
Hen Zemi – This series is compared to Qwaser in its over-the-top characters, but it feels more relatable in its extremity.
Hidan no Aria – The author repeatedly mentions the Segue + Uzi combo, finding it exceptionally clever.
Kaminomi – As pointed out by others, the successful portrayal of Saori Hayami’s character, Haqua, exceeded expectations, or at least the author’s lack thereof.
Lotte no Omocha – Beyond a specific scene involving Horie’s character, the focus on iyashikei (healing) elements is highlighted as a nice touch. The author wonders why the combination of iyashikei and harem tropes hasn’t been explored more frequently.
Moshidora – The daily presentation format is credited with helping maintain the author’s attention span, which they believe would not have survived ten weeks. They feel that two weeks is a more appropriate duration for a syllabus-style presentation of Drucker’s management basics, even if the content is inspiring.
Nichijou – The anime is found to be very funny, with enough gags per episode to ensure viewers don’t miss out by skipping weeks.
OreTsuba – The narrative style is described as presenting a peculiar premise with significant intrigue through its non-linear depiction of life from various connected third-person perspectives. While acknowledging it employs deception through omission, the author commends how the plot is structured so that the reveal of the trick makes sense and carries dramatic weight.
Seishun Otoko – The “Seishun point system” adds a fun, game-like layer that engages the mind, similar to observing Mahoro’s expiration date but without resorting to cheap emotional manipulation.
Sket-dan – This adaptation of a Jump manga is praised for its fast and precise pacing.
Steins;Gate – Okarin is found to be a very likable character, comparable to Wah but with the added element of being genuinely crazy and backing his statements with real facts, which complements the show’s overall mood effectively.
SoftTeni – The series features cute girls engaging in amusing activities.
Tiger & Bunny – This is considered the superior superhero anime of the season, primarily because it delivers the traditional, character-driven drama that anime is best known for, in contrast to Western perceptions that often focus on violence and pornography.
