I’m an anime only watcher and that sure mirrors my experience. I’ll say it helps that Gushing feels like it’s got a lot of heart beyond the ecchi, while Chained Soldier just feels really bland. I’ve heard the latter hardly does the source material justice so maybe I’ll check it out 🤔
Yeah, the creepiness caught me completely off guard and I’m here for it! The crazy thing is this episode was also arguably the most wholesome too.
Glad I decided to give this show a shot, what a ride it’s been so far lol
