As if I couldn't love this show more. It's kinda amazing how much and often Bob's Burgers covers those themes while remaining so consistently funny, heartfelt and often uplifting. Such a unique show.

I know I've said this many times before, but that Renegade Cut guy is so bad at his job.

Princess Connect! Re: Dive (S1) based on a videogame I know nothing about, it's a story about Yuki, a mope who wakes up with no memories in a Medieval/Fantasy/video game-like world, where he ends up forming a party with three girls: Kokkoro, an elf who is, like, subservient to Yuki, Pecorine, a peppy and super strong girl with big boobs and a bigger stomach and Kyaru, a cat girl who is, like, the biggest tsundere with Pecorine and who's secretly (and reluctantly) plotting against the group.

Although I heard people comparing it to Isekai comedy Konosuba, Princess Connect is by far a more kind-hearted show which might not bring out the laughs of KonoSuba, but it's still pleasant and has a warmth that KonoSuba doesn't. It also steadily improvs through the season (the last two episodes, specially, which were very good). Everyone could use some more characterization (specially Yuki who never goes beyond Forrest Gump if he were brain dead), but it at least contains a fair share of best girls particularly Pecorine and Kyaru (I hope they become a couple. It's clear this is where it's going, don't be cowards show creators).

Domestic Girlfriend, S1 is the story of a high school guy, who, trying to get over a crush he has on his teacher, goes to a mixer, meets a cute, but odd girl and has casual sex with her. However, things get messy once his dad decides to remarry and oh surprise! Turns out he's remarrying the mom of that odd girl and the teacher he's crushing about. All of this followed by tons of twists and turns, love triangles and sex (the uncensored version is on the verge of being a vanilla hentai).

As you can see, the premise is sketchy as shit (I even had flashbacks to The Graduate in mind when writing this), and prone to tons of melodrama; however it's for the most part well executed with characters that are on the limit of being grounded and over the top soapy, which makes the drama more engrossing (hell, whether you think this show is engrossing or utter shit, it's impossible not to keep watching), even if the leads are for the most part, very selfish and the show's message (If it has one) is quite a muddled message.

It also has a an OP which is straight up fire.


FLCL Alternative, the third installment of the popular cult anime now focusing on the misadventures of Kana, a high school who spends most of her days hanging out with her three friends Mossan, Hijiri and Pets until she crosses paths with Haruko and the craziness that comes with her.

Unlike FLCL and FLCL Progressive, Alternative is a little more of an ensemble show, not only focusing on Kana, but also giving an episode centered on each of her friends as their friendship begins to quickly change as they enter adulthood, face weird alien shenanigans and end up in the middle of Mecha fights. The show is fast paced, quirky, fun, beautifully animated and ends with an appropriate mind screw. The only thing I miss (which Progressive also lacks) is the wild, almost out of control experimentation of the first installment. For the most part, the wild swings in mood, atmosphere and animation styles are gone, replaced with a little more clarity. While still is a good watch, that FLCL uniqueness is just not quite there.

I honestly don't have much to say about Close Enough, S1, except that it is really funny. Although it was obvious after watching Regular Show, J. G. Quintel's humor lends itself really well to adult humor and the newfound freedom of HBO hasn't stiffled his creativity and voice. Can't wait for season 2.

SPOILER WARNING FOR SEASONS 1-6 OF BOJACK HORSEMAN
[

Show Spoiler

"The Old Sugarman Place is my favorite episode of BoJack Horseman. This story comes on the heels of Sarah Lynn’s untimely death, at a point where the audience and BoJack are both grieving, and fittingly, grief is what is explored so thoroughly in this episode. Primarily through the eyes of BoJack, Honey Sugarman and Eddie the Dragonfly, we take an in depth look at the many ways death and grief can break us, and the ways that improperly dealing with that grief can have major long term effects on us and those we love. Enjoy this breakdown of this masterpiece from BoJack Horseman season 4."

JGL and Brian Murray are a huuuge percentage of what makes Treasure Planet work in whatever way it does, tho I am a fan of the visual design and some of the animation work.
