    Winter shows that I have watched so far and my impressions:

    • You and I Are Polar Opposites - This premiere was great! I really enjoyed this a lot. I had seen it posted to the manga community a lot, but I am glad I went into this episode blind.
    • Chained Soldier S2 - New studio, better quality. Looking forward to more.
    • Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers - I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this episode. I was just going to check out episode one for nostalgia sake, but enjoyed it so much, I am planning on trying to keep up with it.
    • Tune in to the Midnight Heart - A compelling first episode, but we will see if they can keep it up (or if I can keep making time for it).
    • The Demon King’s Daughter is Too Kind - Super cute. Like super-duper cute.
    • You Can’t Be in a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends - This one is a drop for me. I have read most of the manga, and I just found their dynamic more annoying in anime form. In such a stacked season, I need to make some time somewhere.

      You and I Are Polar Opposites

      You just supported a theory I had about this.

      I was sort of oddly both pleased and disappointed by this. The problem is that I followed the manga from start to finish and loved it, and the anime is absolutely faithful to the manga. That means that it didn’t really add anything new for me (other than movement). But since I loved the manga, I had about decided that that was a good thing, because it meant that someone who hadn’t read the manga would potentially love the anime just as much. And sure enough…
