Not a season preview...


…because The Return Of Maomao will compensate for any number of terrible shows.

Which, off the top of my head, include Salaryman Reborn As A Villainess, Dougiette Houser Medical Detective, Murder Mysteries Of The Dead (actual Japanese title), Gay Vampire Boys, High School Romance With guy-i-hate/childhood-friend/guy-who-said-hi-once/aloof-guy (did I miss any of them?), Secret Office Romance, Loser Skater Girls, Incomprehensible Dream Girl, Isekai Salaryman Demon General, Isekai Sentai Adventurer, Golfing Girl, Lunar Survival Game, The Origin Of Apple Computer With The Serial Numbers Filed Off, Boy With Black Sword, Pretty Boy Idols, Animator’s First Love, and I’m pretty sure I’ve just scratched the surface here.

January: I Ditched My A-Rank Party To Build A Harem

Or something like that (1, 2). The harem consists of Our Mage Hero’s former students: the busty redheaded swords-gal in form-fitting armor, the white-haired tan-elf ranger-gal in hot pants, and the older-than-she-looks priestess-gal who still wears her Not-Hogwarts uniform.

The real twist to the formula seems to be that dungeon adventures are magically live-streamed.

Also January: Two Behemoths And A Kitten

More formally, I’m A Behemoth, An S-Ranked Monster, But Mistaken For A Cat, I Live As An Elf Girl’s Pet, with one of the bustiest bouncing half-naked elf girls in recent memory; Grenadier-scale without the spinning reloads, basically.

(I believe the manga cleans up a lot of the story from the abandoned light novels, which included a lot of references to the author’s earlier unsuccessful isekai series; a single cour is unlikely to get far enough for that to matter, though)

Check your privilege government fridge!

Make sure your butter warns you that it contains milk! And then check your supply of quicklime and canvas, hemp rope, and ammo…

Decimated Democrats: The Missing 10%

I’m looking forward to the Democrats comparing the public voting records for 2020 and 2024 so they can woo back all those Biden voters who decided they didn’t care if Trump won this time and “just stayed home”. I’m sure they’ll announce The Big Search as soon as the official results are certified.

No, really; stop laughing.
