Getting deeper into the season and I got the opportunity to watch some more shows this past week:

Apothecary Diaries - More great Maomao/Jinshi moments. Also, nothing better happen to Xiaolan or else... (shoutout to !theapothecarydiaries@ani.social)
Too-Perfect Saint - Some story rearrangement for the anime has actually helped keep things more interesting past the premiere.
Rock is a Lady's Modesty - Episode 2 has kept a bit of a slow adaptation pace, but I am having a lot of fun with this show.
Slime 300 - More moe fun, but a bit of a noticeable change in style with the new studio. Give me the cute voiced SFX back!
Kowloon Generic Romance - Really interesting premise and such a vibe. Kowloon Walled City has to be one of the most unique places on Earth to set a story in recent memory. Really enjoyed the first two episodes of this show even if it feels like we are blitzing through the story.
Ninja and Assassin - I enjoy the manga for this series, but Studio Shaft cranked the production value up to 11 for this adaptation. It went way harder than it needed to.
Apocalypse Hotel - This is one of those shows that is going to be super chill vibes and then hit you with the feels out of nowhere. Sign me the hell up.
Gundam GQuuuuuuX - Big fan of episode 1. Not really sure where we are going from here, but it's got my interest so far (shoutout to !gundam@ani.social)
Lazarus - This premiere was interesting to me. The animation and especially the OST were great. However, the story doesn't really hold up to the rest of it for me. Not too sure if I am going to continue with this one.
