The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World – Episode 1
The Iceblade Sorcerer might be full of magic, but unfortunately, none of that translates to its shoddy animation nor the cast at large.

It’s weird to see what’s effectively a hobby anime so disinterested in what makes the genre tick.
Sugar Apple Fairy Tale is a promising premiere that’s complicated as hell from a feminist analysis perspective.
Gender antics abound in a show that could have been the opposite of what it is: a fetishistic romp about one sibling forcibly feminizing the other for their own good with no nuance about actual trans experiences to be found.
It nails the vibe of the 00s fantastical revenge drama, but it remains to be seen whether this is going to be Urobuchi on or off his game.
Pretty boys, bright colors, capitalism, and ROBOT MURDER set the premise for a just okay idol series that might have a darker secret beneath its technicolor, pop exterior.
Cool Girl meets Actual Cool Guy who Can Make Snow in a premiere that feels like a Wotakoi-esque successor with yokai and a cozy, relatable plot centered around falling in love.
Girl likes Guy and Guy like Girl…as a best bud because he can’t perceive her femininity. And yes, that’s the joke, which really undercuts a show that has potential to be very cute.
A dazzling yuri fantasy series with a lot of potential to grow.
Generally competent with one big shadow hanging over it.
While not the most gripping premiere in the world, it’s honestly not bad.
We’re plagued with the best kind of problem: too much good anime to watch!
Cue incoherent screaming at the rotting corpse of Shinzo Abe clawing his way out of the grave as a zombie.
Come in out of that brutal summer heat and enjoy the anime crop we harvested.
A bustling season with some good josei food and great heroines!
Philosphy and questions about the human soul abound in a bland premiere that has a lot of promise, but just doesn’t hit the mark despite having a fascinating foundation.
Elephant in the room aside, this is a pretty funny premiere.
Your Mileage May Vary when it comes to this new version of Urusei Yatsura, a series that brings the 70s into the 2020s, flaws included.
As well as being a bad, dumb comedy, however, it’s a bad, dumb comedy with a disgusting concept at the heart of its “humor”.
Hey kids, do you like Devilman?
