First thoughts after watching Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 15 (season 2, episode 3)
This post includes a spoiler. I watched Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 15. 9/10. Story was 5/5, animation was 4/5, voices and audio was 4/5. The overview of this episode was from Will's perspective: Will was saved by Workner on his dragon but disappeared because Rosty was killed. They were shot down by a masked man and Workner was fatally wounded in front of Will. Finn arrived at the village and Will was awakened. Will wiped out monsters and confronted Devander, which was fighting Sion and Colette. From perspectives other than Will's, mages and dwarves mostly ran around and dealt with monsters, and Magia Vander argued with each other. Some wanted to come down from the tower and some disagreed.

First thoughts after watching I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Episode 5
This note includes a spoiler. I watched I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class episode 5. 9/10. Story and characters: 5/5 Design and animation: 3/5 Voices and audios: 3/5 The earlier part of this episode was that Umi started talking about her past and the reactions there, and then Umi and Maki talked in a classroom. The later part was that Umi talked with Amami on the roof with Maki again, and then they hung out in Maki's room before they called it a day. I didn't expect this episode was still on the school festival day, and I thought it had finished in the previous episode, but I was wrong.

This note includes a spoiler. I watched I Made Friends with the First Second Prettiest Girl in My Class episode 4. 7/10. Story and characters: 4/5 Animation: 3/5 BGM: 3/5 The earlier part of this episode was that Amami asked a question which is hard to say publicly to other classmates, and then Asanagi pretended to have won in a drawing for the member of a school festival committee. The later part was its preparation and the festival itself.

First thoughts after watching I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Episode 3
This note includes a spoiler. I watched I Made Friends with the First Second Prettiest Girl in My Class episode 3. 7/10. Well, Asanagi for sure can be the prettiest in the class, and also Maehara became friends with Amami and the story moved forward through her actions too. The earlier part of this episode was, first, that Amami invited Maehara to lunch at school — alone at first, and then with Asanagi too — and second, that they went to Maehara's home. She talked loudly in class without caring about other people, as she always does, and that characteristic didn't match Maehara's personality. But he was alone before he met Asanagi in his class, so I guess he had mixed feelings toward her. Anyhow, she was kind enough to take his word seriously and tried not to invite many people to the lunch. It was good animation to see that Asanagi apologized by putting her hands together with her mobile phone, from a distance. I've never seen anything like this.

First thoughts after watching I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Episode 2
This note includes a spoiler. I watched I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class episode 2. The episode started when a guy asked Asanagi out, and she turned him down and then he asked to exchange contact information but she also turned it down. That guy also tried the same thing with Amami, so they thought he was flirty. Then Amami and another girl tried to leave that place, but before leaving, somehow, Amami got Maehara's phone number. I was like, what? Why? Did they want to talk about Asanagi turning a guy down?

First thoughts after watching Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 14 (season 2, episode 2)
I watched the Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 14. In the previous episode, the monsters appeared in the town and broke them. Some of the mages from a tower casted their spells like summoning magics and at first, people in the town were amazed with their techniques. But the monsters turned out they could nullify magics, and they all had magic slayers. So even one mage who invited new mages to a tower in the 1st season was cut into two. Magia Vendor, needed to charge their powers in a tower and couldn't move, so they asked Iris to order Dwarves to defeat them. And they were ready to help mages.

First thoughts after watching I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Episode 1
This note includes a spoiler. I watched I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class episode 1. The main character was a typical guy in a slice-of-life anime, who didn't have any friends and was an introvert and enjoyed being alone. I don't even remember his name lol. And he liked some movies or Netflix that other people didn't watch. At his high school, he needed to introduce himself at first, and he couldn't introduce himself like a sociable person does. And then, the next person was the one who was supposed to be the prettiest girl in the classroom, I guess, and while she introduced herself, she also introduced Asanagi, the main heroine, obviously. The character design, or maybe drawing, made me feel sometimes that her body or her shoulders were really wide for some reason at first, and it felt a little bit weird. It was gone shortly, though. That girl reacted a little bit when she heard that he spent the weekend at home watching movies or playing video games. Like other slice-of-life anime, other guys who cared about looks talked about how hot their classmates were. But then, I couldn't imagine how the MC and MH got familiar with each other. And also, the main character wasn't really appealing at that time to me, as he was maybe a little depressing.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 12
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil season 1 episode 12. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. This episode started from the previous end, that Tanya was sad that the Empire stopped defeating the navies of the Republic. She went to the strategy room, and wanted to talk to the General Zettour or other top brass. But they were out because they celebrated the armistice. She was disappointed and tried to leave the building but Rerugen found her and invited her to his office. He asked her to talk frankly, and she said something. I think she warned that the temporary short victory would backfire when the war would start. But he didn't understand why she thought the war would continue. And she explained to him that the Empire's strategists were too logical and smart, so they didn't account for people's emotional nature. That was a little bit surprise to me to hear because she was also a logical woman, but it made sense that her experience in this life and in the previous life made her think they were sometimes emotional. He was surprised and no word to that.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 11
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil season 1 episode 11. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. This episode started repeating the end of last episode. And then started fighting against the Allied Kingdom. They had long range weapons, and also their battalion was bigger than the 203rd of Tanya's. Because of it, some of them were shot down and they needed to fight in a difficult battle. Tanya noticed they couldn't leave because they would've been going to shot down from behind if they had done it and the reinforcement would take more than 10 minutes. So they must've fought there alone. Audios were great as always, and the animation were more than great. The camera works in the airforce battle with rifles were dynamic and moved around 360. Also, the movement of Tanya was different from other soldiers and she sometimes suddenly moved upside down and shot down rear enemies. Then she noticed there was a large cloud and escaped there to wait for enemies and attacked. But the Colonel of the Allied Kingdom was also strong, and seemed he had a weapon, track weapon or something, which wasn't allowed in a treaty and he still used it. Tanya and Visha were trying to fight and avoid the attack, but he was able to catch up and it seemed it was so hard to fight them. It was great, that Tanya's power of the God's blessing still didn't easily defeat enemies neither. She used that power only to protect the Weiss, who was trying to attack the Allied Kingdom's Colonel who shot down some Tanya's soldiers. Anyway, he persistently chased and attacked Tanya, and in the end, they faced to face, and then started brawl battle instead of a rifle. Tanya's brawl is still strong enough though she was a kid, but the Colonel was possessed by Being X, so he was trying to blow himself up. Visha stopped it once and she had a chance to take a distance from him but he anyway exploded and she got damaged. Because the Colonel was dead and the reinforcement of the Empire came to the sky, the Allied Kingdom left.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 10
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil season 1 episode 10. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. So this episode started from the operation Tanya started in the previous episode. I thought the Republicans noticed when they arrived but they didn't, so it was a mission to keep themselves hidden and attacked Republic's communications HQ. Well, because the V-1 flew way higher than most people fly so they couldn't detect nor notice them. And Tanya and Visha killed soldiers like assassins and brought down the one building, but it was empty. Tanya wanted to check the status from others but they didn't respond. It was great that she looked upset for this critical mission. But it was successful on both groups after a couple of attempts and they left the HQs.
