Wow, I was not expecting to enjoy Jujutsu Kaisen as much as I did, and didn't think I would finish it and the movie before S2. Being horror-adjacent and the whole "eating fingers" thing had turned me off to it when it originally aired, but it was really cool, looked great, and I really liked the cast, especially Yuuji and Todo. Minor gripe: the exposition was a bit too prominent and disturbed the flow at times.

Besides that, I've kind of fallen off of anime. I have quite a few Spring shows that I haven't finished, and only 1 Summer show that I've started. What I have finished:

My Clueless First Friend - Very one-note about a girl who gets bullied by practically her entire class and the transfer student that turns her school life around, but I loved it for how adorable it is.

Yuri Is My Job - Loved the drama between HIme and Mitsuki and how that concluded. Didn't like the Kanoko drama as much, though Sumika's development was good. And, unfortunately, it doesn't really get to the yuri.

Hell's Paradise - Good action and interesting/brutal setting. Characters are only okay for the most part. I think Shion, Tenza, and Choubei were standouts. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the endless inner thoughts during combat after nitpicking the exposition in JJK. It's very noticeable and pretty annoying. Still, looking forward to S2

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury - Pretty good until the end. Can't believe Guel ended up being the best character after that first episode of S1. I like SuleMio, too, I just wish we got more of them together. Middle of the road Gundam for me.

Alice Gear Aegis Expansion - Cute girl comedy show where the girls from the mobile game are put in ridiculous situations (until the end, when the show gets serious). Not particularly good or funny, but the main character gets frequent nosebleeds for her idol, which was more than enough for me.

World Dai Star - All-girl acting troupe puts on performances with their supernatural gifts and try to become stars. Seen people compare it Revue Starlight, but it doesn't have an annoying Hikari character and isn't one big metaphor, so I actually liked it. Wasn't a huge fan of the ending though.

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Punch - Not as good as S1 but still pretty cute.

My Love Story with Yamada at Level 999 - Pretty meh. Akane is fine and pretty good when she is playing the game and interacting with anyone not named Yamada. For his part, Yamada is hot and caring but pretty boring. I didn't care too much for him, and I especially hated the drama they shoehorned into the end, and I just wasn't much invested in the main pair getting together. I became more interested in potential side ships, which ultimately just left me disappointed.
