Finished a few more Summer anime. Just Lycoris Recoil, Call of the Night, and Shine Post left

Dropkick on my Devil S3 was surprisingly good! I didn't remember enjoying S1 this much a few years ago, but I watched S2 and then S3 recently and they were awesome. The cast grows with each season, and with that the potential for humor grew too. I really enjoyed how many jokes played with the fourth wall, and Jashin-chan was always a hilarious scumbag.

Prima Doll was very good, but not as good as it could've been. I liked the post-war setting and the robot characters and the tone, which often alternated between funny and heartwarming and sad. It was just missing something in bringing those elements together, I guess. Still easily one of the best anime of this exceedingly crappy season.

Luminous Witches was the best Witches anime by far, but it still wasn't great. It was serviceable as an idol show, but anything to do with the war or witch powers really dragged it down.

The Maid I Hired Recently is Mysterious (still has one episode left but I don't care, I'll talk about it now) was super duper boring. It was the same jokes and situations over and over and over. Both the maid and the boy sucked. The side characters mostly sucked too. Another maid showed up near the end and she was angry and had pointy teeth, she was at least fine I guess.

The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting was terrible, oh my god. Most of the show was trying to be sweet but only felt hollow instead. Then sometimes it got stupidly dark in a way that didn't mesh with the rest of the anime at all. I was counting down the minutes of those last few episodes just waiting for it to be over.
