I was honestly expecting Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun to run out of jokes an episode or two in, but actually it keeps getting better and better—shaping up to be my favourite comedy so far this year.
I’ve been surprisingly taken with Barakamon, a heartwarming slice-of-life. I was expecting a sports-anime style coverage of calligraphy, but actually it’s more reminiscent of Usagi Drop or Wolf Children.
We’ve been watching Mahouka for the laughs. It starts out fairly unassuming but rapidly becomes one of those shows that is so dire it’s actually comedy gold; the main character is the most blatant Gary Stu I have ever seen, and by ep.10 or so it is reminiscent of North Korean propaganda.
