    I have been absolutely slammed with work this past week, so I haven’t been able to post as much as I normally do. I have been trying to keep up with watching things though. Here are some quick thoughts:

    • My Happy Marriage - This show remains absolutely gorgeous. Also, the mother in-law is really fun to hate, so looking forward to more of that.
    • Ameku M.D. - Episode 3 was a bit of a down one. Not sure if I am going to keep this or drop it in favor of another seasonal.
    • Apothecary Diaries - Really cute episode. It hardly feels like it missed a beat from the first season.
    • Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf - I really liked this episode. I have enjoyed a good portion of the manga for this, so I am glad to see the adaptation has been great so far.
    • Guild Receptionist - The production on this show is way better than I think the story deserves so far. It is lots of fun, but not much meat on the story bone yet. The OP visuals in particular are worth checking out.
    • Bureaucrat to Villainess - An extremely silly show. In some ways it seems like a better version of Villainess that will Go Down in History from last season. It is a more interesting version of villainess-ing wrong I think. The ED really caught me off-guard and had me cracking up (it’s a cover in case you didn’t know, sorry I could only find the English version with a quick search).

    On a meta note, Sakamoto Days is going to be switched over to posts being made only on request. The release schedule between Japan and international is all kinds of wonky with unofficial versions available before official international versions. So, if you watch an episode and want to talk about it, just request the thread be made by the bot. When I get a chance, I will update the verbiage on the pinned Latest Threads post.
