Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury - A solid enough experience, but I ended up liking S1 a fair amount more than S2. For me, there's only one really great thing about the show, other than the production, and that's Suletta. She's an awesome character who shines every moment she's on screen and exists to do the unpredictable. When she's not around the show's just not that interesting. The political stuff is fine, but it's pretty half-baked. Miorine isn't that interesting when she's away from Suletta. Guel at least gets a good character arc, so that's something. I'd also say the cast is too big in general. They should've cut a few of those characters to focus more on the important ones. The Elans in particular stick out in this regard, as well as Shaddiq and his girls. S2 could've been better if it had more Suletta.

My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 - Fine show in general. Not the season's top romcom, but not a bad one. The main two characters are fun, and the side cast is good as well. Some people dislike Yamada apparently, but I enjoy his lack of social abilities.

Heavenly Delusion - Speaking of good production values! What a great looking show. The action's fantastic, and even non-action scenes look excellent. I'm glad that it's mostly less depressing than the average post-apocalyptic story, since I don't enjoy that type of setting in general. The two parallel stories are quite interesting, even though the "twist" in one of them is pretty obvious. The show does suffer from ending in an awkward spot, though. Especially the storyline with the kids - it just stops right in the middle of things. Would watch an S2, though apparently there's not enough source material for one yet.

KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World - The first few episodes of this are pretty creative. It's a wild ride thanks in part to the awful animation making things hilarious, and every episode seems to have a different twist. The characters all work together well, and the MC doesn't have it quite as easy as a lot of isekai MCs do. Unfortunately, it gets a bit more tropey after that and doesn't quite recapture its original glory. The MC becomes less interesting when he just does the same thing every arc, and the other characters introduced early on don't really evolve in any way either. Still enjoyable overall at least, and a fine choice for my dip into the isekai bucket of the season.
