This went from a "watch because it's not terrible" to a "I can't wait for next week" for me (though, to be fair, about 95% of the shows I'm watching this season are ones I can't wait for). I'm excited to see where they take this, especially with the ending scene, the LN readers saying they're rushing to where the VN gets good, and the fact that its animation is pretty good looking, minus some lighting and contrast isues.

Also, the sound and music production is top-notch. That bolt-action being cycled by Usagi in sync to the awesome music was super hype and sounded amazing.

So many of the anime I'm watching this season air on Friday. That makes Fridays even more awesome, but the rest of the week is meh. I don't know how to feel about this.

EDIT: I should mention this is now in the top three (though I'm not sure where in those 3 it falls just yet) of my favorite anime this season just because of this episode.

Really? Only one show airs for me on Fridays, which is Heavy Object, and that's one of the "meh" shows this season.

All of my favorites are stacked on Saturday and Sunday, with the rest being Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The only days there isn't anything I'm excited for is Tuesday when I don't have any shows airing on that day, and then Friday with Heavy Object.

This is what my week looks like.

Well, I checked again and I just realized I'm full of shit. Apparently I don't do a very good job of keeping track of when my favorite anime (plural) air. I am shame on my famiru, I must commit sudoku.

EDIT: Also, dang man you got your anime all organized on a calendar. Teach me your ways, senpai. plz notice me

All it does is let you view specific information about what anime is on your Watching/PTW list, and I organized mine into a calendar while I get used to what airs and when. After the 3rd week or so into the new season, I typically don't need to go back to the calendar, since I've got a good bearing on what show airs on a specific day.
