Shorts / Kid Shows: Don’t Know, Don’t Care

36. FX Fighter Kurumi-chan
Everything about this offends me.

35. Magic Repo Man: Dumped by My Party, I’ll Cash in With a Cute Support Fairy to Become the Strongest!
God this was so awful… Also, that fairy (see above left picture) is cute???

34. #I’m Looking for a Zombie
Frankly kind of disgusted by this. Although a few things I appreciated, like how the younger ones couldn’t read kanji.

33. Tetsuryo! Meet with Tetsudou Musume
Cute girls learn about trains. I don’t care.

32. Uncle’s Obsession with Cute Things
I don’t care.

31. Overgeared
Honestly, I nodded off watching this, but doubt I missed anything.

30. Tank Chair: Sensha Isu
A guy in a wheelchair battles giant monkeys. Man, just why…

29. From Far Away
Another 90s shoujo isekai? It didn’t seem very good…

28. Vertex Force
I want to like anything that’s vaguely involving robots but yeah this was pretty bad.

27. The World’s Strongest Witch
A witch has the power of… the Internet. This was kind of sad how it was trying to be funny and really wasn’t.

26. My Girlfriend’s Friend
Terrible trash show.

25. Even the Student Council Has Its Holes!
People scream lewd “jokes” at each other. Again, not funny.

24. Full Clearing Another World Under a Goddess With Zero Believers
Boring.

23. Psyren
I know I read this manga… but why did I…? I don’t think it was very good. The anime certainly wasn’t.

22. The Cold Sato-san is Only Sweet to Me
Boring….

21. Gensou Suikoden
Just play the video game. It’s really good. The anime is not.

20. The Seven Knights of the Marronnier Kingdom
Cute boys doing cute things. Absolutely not my genre, but I do like the visual style and how different it is.

19. Horror Collector
Didn’t seem as bad as I expected, but yeah, absolutely not my type of show.

18. Dark Machine the Animation
I actually really liked the first half. Seems like a cool world and the characters are all fun. But then it turns out it is about a robot FPS video game and I really don’t care.

17. The Vermillion Mask
Seemed too much like it would turn into a shounen battle thing for me to watch, but wasn’t a bad first episode.

16. Super Psychic Policeman Chojo
Honestly pretty good first episode, but really a kids show.

15. Welsh and Shedar
If I was a child I would love this shit.

14. Magic Knight Rayearth (2026)
Seems like a fine remake. I’m not interested.

13. So What’s Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin?
These are not goblins, they’re smurfs… Also this show is not very good and pretty fucked up, but I do kind of appreciate how they did something slightly different… Could I watch one awful isekai this season…? I will definitely regret this…

12. Hello, I am a Witch and my Crush Wants me to Make a Love Potion!
I do appreciate how doomed this romance is and how miserable everyone is, but they both seem kind of awful at the moment and I know that sadly they’re going to end up together by the end of this.

11. Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden
Eh… maybe? First episode wasn’t bad, but I feel like this is headed nowhere interesting.

10. Magical Explorer
It was kind of boring, but we get so few trashy anime lately I feel like I have to support them. Maybe with Classy?

9. A Certain Dark Item
Eh, sure, I’ll take another Index spinoff, why not. At least it’s not an isekai.

8. I’m Dating a Dark Summoner
Another one for Classy. The anime is honestly not great, but I have been reading the manga for a while and quite like it lol.

7. Even Though I’m a Super Timid Noble Girl, I Accepted the Bet from My Cunning Fiance
This was kind of cute. I need to stop myself from watching it though… the first episode is always the best… the first episode is always the best…

6. Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!
This story is shit (I read the manga) and I like it.

5. A Tale of the Secret Saint
Cute and fun so far! Am a bit worried the biggest conflict may be over already though…

4. Romelia War Chronicle
Excellent first episode in many ways. Am a bit concerned with where this is going (because I have no idea) and that it might take a common isekai idea with the merchant route, which I really couldn’t give a shit about.

3. The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life
It’s by PA Works (ugh… everyone is doing isekai now) and so it’s very well animated. Decently funny. I really like how everyone hates each other.

2. Dandivine
Giant robots! Had a good sense of humor too, looking forward to this. Kind of reminds me of Gridman.

1. Firefly Wedding
This was gross. Can’t wait for the rest.

Feels like a pretty disappoint season… anything good I’m skipping?
