2023 Winter Three-Episode Check-In

The big forerunner this season? Girls in fantasy shows!

The team split up the three-episode reviews between staff volunteers, with one person putting together a short(ish) review on each series. Like we do with our check-in podcasts, we started from the bottom of our Premiere Digest list and worked our way up.

If we didn’t watch a show for at least three episodes, we skipped it, and we’ve used nice bold headers to help you quickly jump to the shows you’re interested in. We’ve also excluded shows that are continuing on in basically the same vein as our premiere review to conserve space. Unless specifically noted, we will not be mentioning overt spoilers for anything beyond episode three.

We don’t have the time to keep up with everything, so please let us know about any gems we might be missing in the comments!

Inglis Warned Her Opponent Not To Hurt Rafinha.

I legitimately had fun with Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire. It didn’t seem to get as outlandish as some other comedic isekai, nor does it take itself too seriously. If anything, Inglis is essentially Goku in that they just want to fight strong opponents.

Inglis is confirmed to be a lesbian!

Happy pride month

2023 Winter Premiere Digest

Things have cooled off from Fall, but there are still some excellent girls to root for this season.

Which shows do you review? 

We don’t review shows that are direct sequels, shorts, or (generally) for very young children. Anything not licensed and/or immediately available is off the table as well, though we do our best to offer premiere reviews for “Netflix jail” shows once they become legally available. Shows with late release dates will be reviewed separately from the digest.

While shows may change category as they continue to air, for ease of reference this is the order that will be used when discussing shows on our mid-season and wrap-up podcasts. Please note that any shows released in batches/by cour rather than weekly will not be discussed on the mid-season podcast.

How do you write the reviews?

Cy, Lizzie, and Vrai split the majority of shows, with Chiaki and Alex stepping in to pinch hit. The titles were divided by each reviewer’s preferred workload and choice, tackling a grueling 33 titles in just 11 days. Caitlin pitches in on the Anime News Network Preview Guide, so you can see her take on the new shows over there.

Once we have more funding, we’d like to change our current model to provide a wider range of perspectives on more episodes. We’re a long way from that goal, but it’s been a personal wish of ours since launch and we hope to make it happen someday.
