The not-quite-short-enough version:
Everything for this week is present and accounted, and it all starts up, but most of the episodes are still missing their promos and Groaning-Mechas-in-the-Bay. This week the only episodes that do have their intros are Chidori #9 & #10, Love & Lies #4, and Tanaka-kun #3āi.e., the same shows that had their intros last week.
One unimportant but time-critical irrelevancy: I was plodding through Wasteful Days #2, wondering if I really felt like watching yet another show about three or four elementary school/junior high/high school girls doing more-or-less everyday things, when suddenly it surprised me with my biggest belly-laugh of the week. So okay, Iāll hang around for another week or two.
But Wasteful Days #2 expires at midnight, so if you havenāt seen it yet, you donāt have much time. Of course, YMMV. If you just want to cut to the chase, you can fast forward to around nine minutes into the episode, where Wota asks Robo to read her manga and give her some feedback. Itās a mildly funny sequence, but itās an absolutely necessary setup for the payoff. Keep on watching. If you get all the way to where Wota decides she needs a day off (about half-way through the episode), and you havenāt laughed yet, then I apologize for wasting your time.
(Hmmā¦elementary school/junior high/high schoolā¦never college. Well, almost neverāthe only show I remember featuring female college students is Long Riders. I didnāt enjoy it as much as Renton and MaouSadao seem to, but I liked it, and it did lead me to Cycle Around Japan, which joined Journeys in Japan and Trails to Tsukji/Trails to Oishi Tokyo to complete my Golden Triad of weekly live-action PBS shows for Japanophilesā¦)
(Ah! there was also Golden Time, which featured university studentsāanother show I liked, but didnāt love. What other ones am I forgetting?..)
