Had to take a break from my RE:Zero rewatch because Subaru was being too cringe. Holy cow can he be hard to watch sometimes.

Anyways, besides that I've started on a few of this season's new offerings:

Akane-banashi - Really fun adaptation of a good story, only brought down by Netflix's shitty subtitles. They are translating little to none of the text in the background, even when that text is extremely relevant. Even when they do translate it they don't bother with typesetting so it's a terrible experience. Hopefully a fansub group fixes this at some point but very few people ever seek that sort of thing out these days so who knows.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm - A great adaptation of a great story, and this time no reservations on how it was translated.
Snowball Earth - So far the story feels very whimsical. Fun first episode with excellent CGI animation. It's hard to say what I think of the quality of the writing at this point; I think I'm gonna have to give it a couple more episodes first.

I haven't started on The Ramparts of Ice because as a Netflix show I'm kinda expecting it to have the same issues as Akane-banashi. I dunno, maybe it'll be fine.
