KADO: The Right Answer – Episodes 0-1
What we have here is a show I very much want to like: a high concept sci-fi story about first contact with the potential for a uniquely interesting protagonist. Unfortunately, this show is already setting itself up in a worrying pattern.

We look to have a cast of A+ trash boys on our hands.

Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor – Episode 1

Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid – Episode 1
I really, really enjoyed this show. It was headed straight for my top three of the season – until I hit one scene, which is so problematic I need to break it down in detail.
