MAJO NO TABITABI
Two episodes in and I really like Major no Tabitai. Definitely getting kino’s journey vibes from it. No fanservice is also a plus since it seems like prime offerings for that sort of stuff.
As for akudama drive Im going to be hopeful the production quality doesn’t fall off. Other than one scene where the bike physics looked a bit goofy, really good episode.
