My New Boss is Goofy
Short Synopsis (Anilist): After his power-tripping boss broke his spirit and his health, Momose leaves his job for a new job in sales at an advertising agency. However, on the very first day of his new job, Momose is unable to move due to a stomach ache caused by his past traumas. “What should I do if my new boss also abuses his power?”
Goofy Boss is cute. There’s no better way to put it other than that. From the looks of things this doesn’t appear to be a romance of any kind, no BL, just a workplace fluffy comedy with some hot guys. I can appreciate that. Adult problems, adult situations, adult characters. No high or middle school bullshit. The main issue as I see it is that this isn’t my kind of humor. It’s a more inept kind, where the humor comes out of situations going slightly wrong, in a harmless way of course. Some might also be disappointed that there isn’t any romance, as a lot of the jokes seem to imply it in some way. I know at least one person that feels like Goofy Boss is a little yaoi-baity. Still if what you want is whole fluff anime, I think Goofy Boss is a middle of the road pick for you this season. Just not something I’m personally going to watch.

The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess
Short Synopsis (Anilist): Three years into her life as a shut-in, vampire Terakomari Gandesblood (Komari for short), awakens to find she’s been appointed as a Commander in the Mulnite Imperial Army! The thing is, her new unit consists solely of belligerent ruffians who revolt against their superiors at the slightest hint of weakness. Although Komari hails from a line of vampires as powerful as they are prestigious, her refusal to drink blood has made her the picture of mediocrity—scrawny, un-coordinated, and inept at magic. With the odds stacked against her, will the help of her trusty (and slightly infatuated) maid Vill be enough for this recluse to blunder her way to success? Or will Komari rue the day she ever left the safety of her room?
What are these hairstyles? Why are there a bunch of random beast-people. Are these even vampires if they don’t have fangs, live normal life spans and can stand in the sunlight? Everything about this screams soulless cash grab. Yet even though they set this up to be a “legal-loli” scenario they can’t even do that right because our lead is 15 goddamn years old. I mean fuck, they even gave her a damn womb-tattoo. Out of every premier I’ve watched this season this is perhaps the most unappealing, dull, weeb-bait show I’ve seen yet.

SPY x FAMILY Season 2
Short Synopsis: The second season of SPY×FAMILY.
You know what this is. It’s SpyXFamily’s 2nd season, one of the biggest shows of the last year. Either you checked out Season 1, loved it, and have been looking forward to this for a while or you didn’t and you won’t be jumping into this late regardless. Personally? I’m going to watch it for its production if nothing else. SpyXFamily was consistently one of the most well produced shows of its season and I see no indication of that changing now. Readers have also assured me that Yor actually gets to become a character this season, which from the looks of things is true since this next arc is all hers. This is a big plus in my book. While Anya’s antics are still fun, as are Loid’s reactions to them, Yor was one of the more disappointing parts of previous seasons. If SpyXFamily delivers on that, as well as maintaining its overall quality from the previous season, it should be a good time.
Potential: 75%
