Kat, Leo and Bcom have returned to close out the second half of their Winter 2019 first impressions and pick the top 8 shows that we’ll be following this season. After Leo and Kat cry about work and the freezing cold weather, Bcom cries about the Kristaps Porzingis trade. Once we get into anime, Bcom has some special Swedish intelligence to help understand the main love interest of Girly Air Force. We felt Quintessential Quintuplets offered a surprisingly inoffensive ecchi harem setup, when compared with typical genre offerings from the past couple of years. Our review of Grimms notes was…well, grim. Boogiepop and Others might work better as a light novel than an anime, in our opinion, as it left us wanting more context. The Price of Smiles was a bit too expensive for us, apparently. Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka is another in a long line of underwhelming post-Madoka dark magical girl shows, but this one at least made us laugh. Domestic Kanojo’s hentai-esque premise with high quality art and direction caught Bcom’s attention. Kat was pleased that actual sex took place in the first episode of an anime, for once. We caught up on the first half of JoJo Part 5 and attempted to explain the insane escapades the boys are currently getting up to in Italy. Bcom reports in from the frontlines of W’z where nothing makes sense and DJ Juice has captured the hearts and minds of Osaka with his absolutely terrible music. Our review of Kaguya-sama: Love is War devolves into Kat offering up a $50 gift certificate for the “Bride of Bcom” prize contest if listeners recreate Chika’s dance from the episode 3 ED. We move to a somewhat clever cute girls show called Endro, before continuing with a not very clever comedy in Miss Ueno. Bcom loved the incredible CGI aerial dogfights in The Magnificent Kotobuki, while Kat was more focused on how they made their pancakes so damn fluffy. Leo discovers he wants to ride the dragon as we review the first few episodes of Mysteria Friends. After everything has been reviewed, you know what time it is! We end our impressions with the VOTE, which determines the top 8 shows we’ll follow this season.
