I still have to watch that Raising Kids in Another World one but I'm going to be busy until late evening soon and I want to post about the three new episodes I did see

Narenare: Cheer For You was really good! It managed to introduce every single major character, make them all fun and unique, and yet at no point did any of it feel rushed or forced. The animation and movements were always so smooth and dynamic. It was a joy to watch even before getting into the content. I was a big fan of Anima Yell, another anime about cheerleading, but it didn't have the highest budget. Outside of a few moments, the cheerleading performances in it were mostly slideshows. It also didn't help that the main girl in Anima Yell was a total noob and afraid of heights. In Narenare, it was so cool when it opened with an amazing-looking performance and the main girl was doing crazy flips all over the place. I'm also really liking some of the heavier stuff it's introducing with the one friend in a wheelchair (though I'm not sure if she was injured or what) and the main girl losing her motivation. I was starting to think Pseudo Harem had AotS locked up, but Narenare is going to make a fight of it.

My Deer Friend Nokotan was also good! Not AotS good, at least not yet, but I enjoyed it. It had the chaotic and fast-paced style of humor I hoped it would. I really like Nokotan the deer girl, and she has a fun dynamic with the secret-delinquent main girl. Shows like this usually benefit from a larger cast, though. It did a great job in the first episode with only two characters. It could still become amazing once it has more people to bounces jokes off of! The only bad part is that, unfortunately, it looks like my fears about the quality of this anime's subtitles have been confirmed. Did you notice the number of sentences that didn't start with a capital or didn't end with a period? I sure did. I didn't catch any outright wtf mistakes like I noticed in Tonbo, but I imagine it's only a matter of time. No way Crunchyroll is subbing this, it's the licensing company and they're doing a shoddy job of it as per their usual.

Wistoria: Wand and Sword was another one that I enjoyed! I went into this with low expectations after Mashle botched the "guy in magic academy who can't use magic" premise. Thankfully, this anime was closer to being a fun magic academy anime, similar to Reign of the Seven Spellblades (though less of a Harry Potter ripoff... even if Wistoria still had a lot of HP influences, I mean look at the main dude's glasses). I don't have a whole lot to say about it. I like that the main guy not being able to use magic is an actual thing that he's judged for and has to work around. Also this had surprisingly good animation. It won't be my favorite or anything, but compared to some of the boring or infuriating junk I watched yesterday, I'll take Wistoria's fun competence any day!

That's three good Sunday shows! I'm glad it wasn't a total dud like Saturday turned out to be.
