I completed Erased last week.
It reminds me of Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. Also, Kenya is basically a mini Aqua.

Erased spoiler
It was so obvious that the teacher is the villain when the show telegraphed it so hard from the start. One thing I don’t really like is his flimsy motive for the murders, but that’s a minor thing for me.
I enjoyed it a lot so it gets a 10 / 10 from me.
I am trying my best to catch up on a bunch of shows I fell behind on, so here is where I stand currently:
- Ameku MD - Dropped for time. Not sure if I will try to make time for this or not. I have popped into the episode discussion threads and the reception seems mixed.
- My Happy Marriage - I am two episodes behind now, so I might have to just let this one go until the end of the season. I had been enjoying this season a lot.
- Apothecary Diaries - I am one episode behind. Great show continues to be great. Getting more interaction with the Emporer this season.
- Guild Receptionist - I am one episode behind. This show has fallen down my priority list a bit. I feel like the premise has long since been abandoned and the most recent dark god fight didn’t really keep my attention.
- 100 Girlfriends - This most recent episode was a fresh dose of insanity. Just an incredibly unhinged, and hilarious show.
- Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf - Sleeper hit of the season for me. It’s just such a nice comfy time. Even this past episode that prominently featured an actual fight, it never felt tense at all.
- Bureaucrat to Villainess - This most recent episode kind of feels like a throwaway, and even in the otome game it was a bonus event. There was a fantastic special ED though.

Amagami Sister shot up the AC chart this week while there isn’t a ton of movement on the reddit chart. I am happy to see Orb still making gains, now up to fourth in the reddit chart. I have kind of held off continuing the show and am going to wait for it to finish before just bingeing the whole thing. I am really looking forward to it. The first 8 episodes I watched were really, really good.
I watched ‘erased’ a long time ago (in this galaxy), but I don’t remember specifics. All I remember is how it made me feel and how beautiful it was. 10/10 from me, too.
