The first couple episodes were godlike, among the best SoL I've ever seen. The animation was ridiculous (this continued throughout, thankfully), there was powerful emotional resonance, and it was extremely funny. Hearing Aoi Koga scream "WAAAAAHHHHHHH" over and over while trying to fly a kite is peak. Going around to special places taking pictures was a great gimmick. After that, though, it becomes the Haruno show. She's an adult mangaka, and she basically takes the girls around to various places to research for her series. The show's still good, and I would've liked it a lot if it had been this way from the beginning, but it was disappointing to lose what we could've had. Food for the Soul had the opposite progression. Ep 1 was ultra generic, especially for an original PA Works series, but it got better as it went. It's written by the Non Non Biyori author, and you definitely get that feeling with the cast. They have great chemistry, and it's heartwarming to see them getting closer throughout the series. Just plain nice. While mono was still good throughout, Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX dove straight into the trash. I liked the cast, liked the setting, and mostly enjoyed the story, but the way everything was put together was a mess. The girls falling in love with Shuji and falling out was so contrived, and I hated all the ~~multiverse~~ bullshit in the last few episodes. Shuji giving long monologues explaining everything was especially bad. The show would've been so much better if they'd killed him off early and we hadn't had to deal with that garbage. Awful ending. Machu and Nyaan deserved better than this. The combat was surprisingly lacking, too - whoever choreographed it did a poor job.
