In/Spectre S2 was an improvement over the first season. I always liked the show because of Kotoko, and she still rules here, but most of the season being one big mystery was disappointing, so I was happy this season was made up of several smaller mysteries instead. I think all of those mysteries were quite good. Kinda surprised some people want more of the show's "overall plot," since that's one of the least compelling aspects of the series. I'd be happy for the show to go on forever, giving us more and more inconsequential mysteries and solutions.

Tomo Is a Girl is a bit of a weird one in that it's mostly better than the manga in terms of art, pacing, etc., but it also cuts out a lot of the comedy and Misuzu/Carol stuff, which was the best part of the manga. I mostly just kept up with it weekly because there wasn't much to watch this season, but it was enjoyable enough, and I don't regret it.

Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement once more proves isekai is better when the MC is a girl. I liked that the show presented her as always having a plan and thinking everything through, but still being casually incompetent sometimes, like how poor a job she did with her general store idea. It used some aspects of Gate too, which is always fun, though this wasn't as good as Gate IMO. The characters other than Mitsuha weren't particularly good, but the show remained entertaining throughout, mainly due to Mitsuha herself being quite fun, and it's nice that she had a ruthless streak.
