I have finished most ep1s of stuff that has aired already

Hataage! Kemono Michi
-I like how completely oblivious the main character is. I also like the dog, especially when it was doing the wrestling moves with him. It's very silly and for the most part pretty good but it's also at a level of sheer out there stupid that I just kind of tilt my head at it too. I did like though the girl he saved just ended up being a loser and how he completely realized it despite her being an animal girl.

Cautious Hero
-I thought this was pretty good. The mc might just be someone who is built to fit the show and not much else but as for the base overall and how his interaction with the goddess went it was pretty spot on. I liked the slime part.

Ahiru no Sora
-So, this is the next sports show that is trying to cash in on the Haikyuu format of having some undersized character who is especially good at a sport trying to take a team to the next level or whatever. I'm not saying Haikyuu was the first show that has done this, but it's 100% the most popular one that has come out in the decade. (I also know that this source for this actual show is pretty old but still). But it's like a lot of them understandably just try to cash in on a main character's determination and such and that's not enough to make a show exciting or interesting. Do you know a good way to get you interested in what happens in a show? By building characters people are going to care about. Haikyuu does a very good job at quickly making the characters dynamic enough in the first episode where you are interested in seeing where the show takes them. I just don't really care here. I don't even know what the main characters' actual goals are. I don't know if the basketball team is actually struggling or if it's good and they are just lazy. Or like his background in the sport. I don't really know how much passion for the game has either. Something like this 100% had to be put into the first episode. There is just no hook at all.

CHOYOYU!
-This show is just not very good.

Ascendance of a Bookworm
-This is another show that is not very good, but at least it's a little more interesting and bearable than Choyoyu. The animation quality is just so bad though. This is like what I'd call on the edge of keep/drop.

ORESUKI
-So after the first confession, it was like okay. The second one it was fine. But the third one when she pulled out the bench that might be a top 10 anime moment of the year. Great show.

Afterschool Dice Club
-This was fine? A bit underwhelming as I do wish it kind of moved a little focus away from how shy and insecure the main girl is (which I'm fine with) and had more actual playing the board game or whatever. I have seen a list of games they play throughout the original source material and there are quite a lot of very recognizable board games they do play, but some of them we might not get to see on the screen because they come later into the run.

Azur Lane
-Ship waifu show. Nothing great, nothing awful. The "bad" ships are the better waifus.

Chuuni Boys
-There is this sense I have that this show almost already seems outdated. I'm obviously going to compare this to Chuu2 (and yes the girl is voiced by Fake Mori Summer). That show had a cast of chuunis but their dynamic, how they are introduced, etc was just done better. I don't really know anything about anyone except the girl in this show and I barely know anything about her. It's not enough just to have characters act like chuunis to carry the entire show (or in this case episode).

Fate/Grand Order
-I saw the episode 0 before this and was kind of annoyed at it because I really like Mash but it's like they spend more time TALKING ABOUT HER than she has actual screen time in the episode. Anyway in the actual real episode 1 we get what FGO is. Killing random enemies while wearing ridiculously skimpy skins.
