Robazoid 04/06/24 4:40:33 PM #183:	More first episode thoughts. I was going to watch the Jellyfish show too but of course Hidive fucked up one of its only two new shows this season, I guess I'll watch it later. -Tonari no Yokai-san was pretty good! I definitely got Kamichu vibes from it, so anyone who liked that show should at least check this out. It's about a small town with lots of fantastical stuff like a cat turning into a supernatural creature or tengu wandering around, but it's all played for a slice-of-life vibe. I'm a sucker for this kind of world-building, like when a girl saw a gigantic mist creature wandering around so she knew it was going to rain later. I felt like they tried to introduce too many people early on, so I don't have a feel for most of the characters yet. I enjoyed it, though! Plus there were some hints of slightly darker elements, which is intriguing in an otherwise happy show like this. I'm curious to see where they go with it. -Highspeed Etoile, hoo boy. If this doesn't wind up being the worst show of the season, I'll be surprised. The whole first episode was a race where they told us outright who the favorites for first and second were, and then those two got first and second with zero twists. I guess that would be fine if the race itself was interesting, but it really wasn't. I guess the animation looked pretty enough if you don't mind CGI, but there's only so much "car passed other car, then another car passed" that I can take, and the bland commentary didn't help. It's sci-fi, they could've at least added Mario Kart weapons or something. All they have is a limited boost, and this first episode didn't even use that in an interesting way. We're on the straight part of the course, time for everyone to boost, and since everyone's boost lasts the same amount of time it has no impact on the race whatsoever. Ugh. The only reason I have any hope for this show at all is that the actual main character wasn't introduced until the very end of the episode. I hope I wind up liking her, at least. Maybe she'll be a prodigy who can make this shit interesting.
