O Maidens in Your Savage Season – Episode 1
Blessed are we to live in this time of stories starring gross, funny, weird girls.

“Magical girls in giant robots” is a fantastic concept, and GRANBELM just might have the chops to pull it off.
You ever bite into a dessert and think, “This is way too sweet”? This premiere is like that.
This is going to be one of those reviews. You know the ones, where I hem and haw for a few minutes about how humor is ultimately subjective before admitting that this premiere just didn’t do much for me.
Minor costume design complaints aside, Astra Lost in Space is the first good anime to air this summer season. Hopefully these good boys and girls can find their way home.
It’s been a while since I watched a premiere as tight and concise as this one.
With all that can potentially go wrong, Demon Lord, Retry! faces a Sysphean challenge to being “a good anime” by my measure, so I’m not really going to stick around to see where it goes.
The show takes less than five minutes to rocket past “frustrating fat-shaming” and straight into “likely to be triggering for anyone who’s ever struggled with disordered eating.”
Y’know, once I stopped laughing, this wasn’t really a terrible premiere. It is possible I’ve sustained some serious neck damage from all the whiplash, though.
I want 7 SEEDS to be good so badly that I can almost taste it, but the terrible animation and direction doesn’t make it easy.
