Embark on a journey through the latest seasonal anime, as I reveal my first take on the evolving narrative landscapes. From "Mushoku Tensei's" intimate exploration of domestic life to the meritocratic twists in "As a Reincarnated Aristocrat," we're scrutinizing the pulse of character growth and society's undercurrents within the isekai realm. It's a discourse on the subtle, yet profound, layers of storytelling that go beyond the expected magical skirmishes, guiding you through the complexities of life's second chances and the intrinsic value of diverse talents.
This episode isn't just about revelations; it's a symposium on the ongoing series that keep us tethered to our screens. We analyze the potential future of "Chilling in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers," and "The Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime," while speculating on the implications of new power dynamics and territorial recognitions. Join us as we navigate the measured cadence of these tales, evaluating character arcs and theorizing the future of these enthralling worlds.
Finally, for the aficionados of fantastical realms and sports alike, we canvass a spectrum of genres, from the Seventh Prince's magical ingenuity to the underdog story of "Oblivion Battery" and its potential as a classic sports narrative.

Hey there and welcome back to Rival Reviews. So, like I talked about last week, this week is going to be basically talking about my first impressions of things that came out this season. So I figured I'd kind of just go one by one, no particular order, just kind of like where I'm caught up and have best memory of. So first one I want to kind of bring up is uh mushoku tensai, jobless reincarnation. Um, the interesting part about re watching this one is is that now that I've caught up with the manga, I kind of already know where this is going. Um, it is kind of cool still to watch it, animated of course, because like I, like I said I would say, if anything, this is probably one of the strongest isekais out there. Um, so, as we are kind of at right now, there's not really going to be any kind of like I don't know, like there's not going to be any kind of big, bad magical fights in this season, which I think feel like a lot of people are going to be, I guess, a little frustrated about this one's kind of more, like I kind of spoke of last episode, it's going to be more about, like the life that he's living and like the life that he's building with Sophie after getting married and everything else like that. So, yeah, so the marriage has officially taken place. You know, they have a house, um. So we kind of had like the I guess initial opening of those things happening. Not much happened, um, you know, there was the 10 second duel he had with the, the other guard, just to kind of prove that he could protect sylphie, um, and really honest. And then we had like the, uh, the haunting, not haunting, of the house with the, with the doll. So I feel like this season is definitely going to be like introducing a lot of different things, like, for instance, like the, the doll that they found, or whatever it kind of brings in the whole, uh, idea of multiple, uh, multiple layering, um, magic circles, which came into effect for the first time in the latest episode, um, where nene yoshi is trying to make a subbing circle, essentially to then then reverse, engineer it to send herself back home, and she successfully, you know, brought over a plastic water bottle, which plastic does not exist in this world. So clearly it has succeeded in some form, succeeded in some form.
Speaker 1:And yeah, further from that, he just got the letter from Paul that he is sending his little sisters Over to him to watch, which I know is going to be a big part, probably, of this thing, because it's kind of like the family dynamics, because obviously the last time that he Saw his one little sister they really did not get along along in any way, shape or form, and you know, the last time that they he saw them before that they were both babies, um, so obviously they have no memories with him or anything at all before the major uh teleportation. So, yeah, so that's kind of, I think, going to be the major um thing that we're going to be watching is kind of like him trying to create, you know, some semblance of a relationship with his sisters, um. So, like I said, if you're hoping and expecting for some cool magic fights, everything else, you're not really going to get much of that this season, that much I am aware of. But it's still fun, especially if you know you like the development of a good story and a good family arc, and that's kind of where we're going right now with that one. So next up is, as reincarnated aristocrat, I'll use my appraisal Skill to Rise in the World.
Speaker 1:This one's fun, this one's also one that I have also read. It has been a very long time. So it's actually kind of nice that it's been a long time, because I do, at the very least, know that I enjoy the story. But I can't remember like everything in complete detail. Um, kind of where we're at right now. We're kind of really still in the preliminary stages.
Speaker 1:Um, our reincarnated guy is, uh, you know, still a child and basically, essentially, he's gathering his, uh, his, his crew. Um, I will say that what I like about this one is that like though it doesn't like throw it in your face, I would say it's very much a good lesson on. You know, it doesn't matter where you come from. If you have the talent, that's kind of all that matters. Um, you know, so the first person that he picks up is like uh, I guess if we wanted to use like a real life kind of idea, would be like an immigrant type of thing and he's looked down on and everything else like that. But you know, our main character, ours, doesn't see it like that. He has the ability, obviously, to appraise people's skills and everything else like that, and he didn't care who he was or where he came from. He saw that he had talent. So he's like yep, I need to make you a retainer, um, so there's that.
Speaker 1:And then we just recently, um, in the latest episode, got uh, uh so like, kind of like. So so the first retainer, he's kind of more of like a, like a fighter, brawler type of dealy, like, basically he's just really good at combat, where, um, this new edition is, uh, a magician, um, and like an Sclass mage at that. Um had never used magic before, ever um, but obviously with the use of the appraisal skill he got to see, uh, that s rank um and again kind of in an uh, I guess you could say unorthodox fashion, um, she was a slave kind of migrant of the streets. You know stealing bread from people and you know trying to protect the other young slaves slash, you know orphan kids, um, but again, that didn't matter because you know she saw that she was talented um, and uh took her in and uh, yeah, so, um, I think, if I'm, if I'm not mistaken, I do know at a certain point in time we are going to get a time skip where ours kind of turns more into like a teenager Um, I have a feeling that that's gonna happen pretty soon. I do know that there is a war currently going on. So I'm pretty sure that, like, we're gonna get a little bit of snippets of that. But again, the the, I guess kind of harsh reality of that is. I'm not sure how much we're going to see because because, if memory serves in the manga, obviously R still being a child, he's not going to be there, but the retainers will be going in his stead. So I don't know if we're actually going to get any glimpses of that and if anything, they're probably just going to be like little flashes. But yeah, so all in all, I'm enjoying this one and I think, like I said, kind of where it's going. Like I said, I do know, at a certain point in time we do get a time skip, um, and then it's going to kind of just be more him, you know they kind of uh foreshadowed in the first episode. Um, you know he becomes the Lord of the area and um, I'm assuming big changes are going to start happening once we get to that point in the story. Um, and that's kind of all we can infer at this point.
Speaker 1:Next up, we got god's games we play. This one is super interesting to me because it is definitely not one that I was expecting to enjoy as much. It is a little strange and I'm a little concerned in terms of like pacing and stuff for this one, because so basically the premise of this if you haven't gotten uh into it too much is that there's basically a way that they can kind of virtually put themselves into a game that plays against the gods and if they get 10 wins, um, they get a wish granted. But if they lose three once, they lose three times, they essentially like lose their chance of ever getting their wish granted. So the nice part is that, like it's not like you know, I guess there's no realm of like death or anything like that, because it's all based on you know, games. I guess at least no realm of like death or anything like that, because it's all based on you know games, I guess, at least for the time being, um and so yeah, so so far, um, at least um, four episodes in, so I guess there's been about three, two, two to three different games Um and basically Um and uh. Basically our, our, our main character, faye um, already had three wins under his belt, so now it looks like he has five Um, I am interested to see if we do end up getting to the 10th by the end of this.
Speaker 1:But I don't know. We're already four episodes in and if what I'm assuming is going to be 12 episodes, um, unless they have some kind of skip, like you know. Oh, now he's reached seven, eight and now we're on to the 10th and go on from there. Um, but I don't know, I'm not sure if we have the right type of pacing for that to uh occur. Um, it's not one that, like I'm generally like super excited for every week, but I do, I do enjoy it, it is nice. Um, I don't really have a semblance of an idea as to where it's going to end up, cause, like I said, it's definitely going to be a 12 episoder. I just I don't know how far it can go to to to make it that that way. Like, I'm not sure if it'll. Like I said, I'm not sure if the popularity enough is going to be there to give it a second season.
Speaker 1:If there is going to be a second season, um, again, a lot of people were saying that this is kind of a mix between a liar, liar kind of meets uh, no game, no life, which I guess I can see to a certain extent because the whole no game, no, between Liar, liar meets no Game, no Life, which I guess I can see to a certain extent because of the whole no Game, no Life. They're basically facing another world's games type of thing. So I can see it to a certain extent, but obviously I wouldn't put it in the realm of it's as big or going to be as big as no Game, no life, um, but it's, it's okay for what it is. I I am interested to see where it goes from here. Another one that I've been watching that I'm not like super, like like I've read it and like it's fine, but it's not going to like turn any heads Is um. I've begun my life in another world or sorry, chilling in another world with level 2 super cheat powers. Again, it's just like your run-of-the-mill-like.
Speaker 1:He got transported, um. He got looked down on because of his stats, um. He was basically ditched in the wilderness by the king and then you know, he did one thing uh, kind of on accident, um he took, he used holy magic which he didn't even think that he had Um, and took out entire forest and like leveled up like 700 times or something, um, and now he's completely overpowered and nobody can take him. Um, so it's kind of another one of those nice like you know you, you just get to enjoy watching him overpower literally everybody that he comes in contact with. Like there's a like in the latest episode, um, like one of the Rangers from like the demon army or whatever brings. Like in the latest episode, um, like one of the rangers from like the demon army or whatever brings like what is supposed to be like one of the most scary things on on earth. Like they brings like whole the, like the dragon army of the dark ones or whatever, and he takes out all of them in like 10 seconds. Um, it's like that type of thing.
Speaker 1:Um, it's comfort watch, especially like if you are a fan of the isekai genre. Um, so, yeah, so if you're, if you're a fan of just watching like the ones with, like the main character that's super overpowered and everything else, this definitely will fill the void for you for sure. Um, I do think that there are stronger, um, kind of isekai-ish kind of ones or reincarnation, if you want to, if you want to think of it that way that are probably stronger this season. Um, this one's still okay and again there's kind of the you know slice of life-esque part of like you know him kind of marrying, uh, an old commander of the demon army that basically fell in love with the fact that he's completely overpowered. So yeah, there's that aspect to it too. So yeah, I would say, more than anything, that this is definitely a comfort watch than anything else, but it's still entertaining in its own right. A perfect example of this would be the time I got reincarnated as a slime Again.
Speaker 1:I think this is a go-to of Isekai, like favorite Isekai for a lot of different people. I'll be interested to see where this season kind of goes, because obviously I think a lot of people are noticing that this season is definitely starting out fairly slow, like I would argue that like the first two or three episodes were kind of recap for kind of the situation of like where everybody is in the world, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, because I will say that the one thing that kind of always throws me off in this one particularly is that there is so many characters and so much going on and so much has already happened in the world that it was almost kind of nice to have kind of the like reminder of things that were going on. Um, and then, of course, obviously I think it was important to kind of uh see, see, it was interesting to see everybody's different point of view and to how they were affected after, uh, the Walpurgis happened, um, and after um, he has become a demon Lord, um, so I think that that was also important too. Um, as it kind of stands right now, at least from the last episode that currently just aired, looking like, basically they're officially going to announce basically the existence of this city to the entire world, because it kind of sounds as if at least the idea is that, because people are going to have to start, I guess, asking for permission, now that he's a demon, people are going to have to start, I guess, asking for permission, now that he's a demon King, to actually or a demon Lord, sorry to actually like live in his territory, territory that he's going to have to like get. They're going to have to get permission from him. So, because he's going to be having all these visitors, he's just kind of accepting them and accepting that this might come up as a sort of like population boom for Tempest. So, yeah, so, kind of, right now, I think, um, it's going to be more focusing on like the political stuff, like there is obviously stuff still going on in the background like we know about, like um, the holy nation's kind of plans of you know, at least keeping an eye on things and how they're going. And then we kind of had like the clown minions and everything else looking like they definitely have a plan, but we just don't know what the plan is per se. So obviously there will be something probably going on in that realm, probably later in the season, but it kind of looks like right now they're going to focus on more of the political kind of. You know, now that he has this role, what this new role kind of brings to the table and what, what, what, what that's going to mean for the, for the, for the city, um, and yeah, so I'm definitely interested. I think it's going to be like right now we're kind of more than like, like I said, like kind of like a political, further world building stage of this anime. Um, so be interested to see where that goes.
Speaker 1:Next one that I want to talk about is probably one of my favorites for this entire season, which is Windbreaker. This was completely underneath my radar. I didn't think that I was going to be watching this at all, and then I decided to try and watch the first episode and it's just, it's awesome. It's kind of like it has a very like Tokyo Revengers feel to it, which is why I think I enjoy it so much, because I really enjoy Tokyoo revengers as well.
Speaker 1:Um, doesn't seem to be like, as I don't know, like, as like there is definitely like turf wars and everything else involved in windbreaker, but it's more the idea of, instead of like fighting just for the fact of the idea of, instead of like fighting, just for the fact of the name of your gang, you're actually fighting for something Like, for instance, the ones that go to Fjörnheim or whatever they go by Boforin, basically defenders of the city. So, basically, essentially like, if there are other gangs like, their main purpose is like, if other gangs decide to come in and start wreaking havoc on the city, they'll step in to protect the people of the city, which I don't know, it's just kind or, or, or whatever. You, you, you, however you want to put it, it's more like they're actually just trying to make the city a better place, um, by still being strong enough to fight the battles, but not looking for a fight, which is interesting because obviously our lead um character, his, his main premise for coming here was because he wanted to, you know, fight the best of the best. So it kind of almost goes against that. But at the same time he gets to do that while doing something good, which also kind of helps him in the sense because, like you know, we are going to learn more about his past.
Speaker 1:But from what we can gather already from the first couple episodes is, uh, you know, all his life he's basically been made fun of because the way he looks, or, you know, cast aside because the way he looks and everything else like that, which has kind of made him feel a certain way. And now he's being accepted, like accepted for who he is, um, and he's not used to that. So there's kind of like a mixture of like. Obviously there's like these kind of gang politics going on, but there's also like inner growth in himself, like accepting who he is because other people are accepting him for who he is Um. So yeah, I'm super excited to see where this one's going to go, kind of like the main conflict. Already it kind of looks like in the latest episode they saved a middle school kid from being on the turf of, I guess, a boundary that they kind of share with a different gang which are hard on even their own members. Um, so clearly there's it looks, at least it looks like there's going to be kind of like a turf war against this other gang. Um, so it'll be. Clearly, I think there's going to be a lot of build up maybe to to to that um. So it'll be interesting to see how uh goes. And yeah, I'm just kind of overall excited about this one Um, and so far at least it's. It's uh definitely in the top for me of which ones I'm looking forward to uh each week.
Speaker 1:So the next one I want to talk about is remonster. Again, this one is really good. Um, I read a little bit of it. I haven't read it to completion, but it is definitely a fun one. I would definitely. If you're a fan of Slime, you're definitely going to be a fan of this show because it's very I don't want to say it's the same, but it definitely does.
Speaker 1:The beginning, especially what's happening right now, is very similar. So basically, essentially, our main character gets reincarnated as a weak, you know, creature or fantasy creature, I guess that we're used to which is just like a little goblin, um, but due to, I guess, a power he had from his previous life, he's able to, like, absorb other people's abilities and in this regard it seems to be anything that he eats he can grab their skills from. So, more and more he obviously did this and has now evolved into an ogre from, but like it's like a rare kind of derivative of an ogre from, but like it's like a rare kind of derivative of an ogre, and then it also kind of stems, like that kind of feeling that you get from Slime with the whole. Like you know, now he's kind of the head of this village and it kind of looks like they're. You know, at first they, I guess, collected some humans, so there's humans now involved, there's kobolds involved, looking like there might be some elves getting involved, and they're kind of creating this, you know, not so much a village, because there's like it's still a small number of people just kind of in a cave, but his, his. The old way of thinking for the goblins was that, like you, you just have to fight for survival and you kill whatever is not you know yours, and then they pillage and, you know, take the women to, kind of, you know, make their species go on. It's probably the politically correct way to put it, but he isn't like this, you know, like he's just like like look, nobody's going to touch you and everything else, like that You're all good, and then they actually form a relationship with him, but in a consensual way, yeah. So this is kind of it looks like where we're at. We're kind of four episodes in now and it's kind of looking like what's going to happen right now is that he's going to get involved in a war that's going to be happening between the humans and the elves in the forest. So I think that'll be kind of interesting to see what the outcome of that would be, because right now, again, it's very similar to the fact that he's pretty overpowered, especially for who he is. So I'm assuming that he's going to be a deciding factor on whichever side wins, because that's the other thing too. It's not really clear, like the elves being pompous, they were just basically expecting his help, but he said that really he's only going to get involved if the humans mess with him. So it'll be interesting to see if it kind of goes the slime direction where, like you know, he meets with the humans and the humans kind of like maybe strike a deal with him or at least, like you know, form a diplomatic relationship with them. I don't know, it'll be interesting to see and I'm interested to see where this one goes next on the docket.
Speaker 1:The irregular magic high school. I don't really know what to say about this one. Like so far, it's been pretty tame, like the whole. I don't know there was a say about this one. Like so far, it's been pretty tame, like the whole. I don't know there was a little weird situation of Herwan to celebrate his birthday alone, but nothing happened. The siblings are weird man. But if you overlook that, everything else that's going on with this anime is pretty cool.
Speaker 1:So, as we know from Season 2, the Scorched Earth experiment happened, where they took out the tower and everything else like that, and now into the scorched earth experiment happened, where they took out the tower and everything else like that. And now what's happening is is that the media essentially is trying to basically make it look like that the high school is being used to create a military superpower, um, and that the high school should be shut down due to this. In the latest episode we got to see that what they had done is that they created an experiment that would basically create clean thermonuclear energy, which would be good for society versus anything else. So that in itself, they're essentially just kind of playing with the media because basically, clearly, somebody had set up a meeting with I guess I think it's the prime minister um, to uh come up, uh and basically see that that's what they're doing and to, you know, create them like, basically mock them in the media and everything else like that. So him and a whole crap ton of uh, uh reporters came as they were doing the experiment. Um, then the experiment succeeded and it kind of made the prime minister's hands tied and he basically had to say, yes, like I'm glad that the students are doing something for the good of society, and like, and, of course, the journalists that were looking for, uh, you know, a dramatic uh piece to go against the magicians, uh, left empty handed, essentially because you know they positions left empty-handed essentially because they were doing good yeah, so kind of.
Speaker 1:Right now I'm going to be honest, I'm not really entirely sure where I see this one going. I do know that, at least what we know from the Yotsubas, we know that America is going to start probably making a move because they might be threatened by the power that the utsubas currently hold. Um, so I think that we'll probably get more information as the as the thing goes on, and there seems to also be some like kind of like uh, inner clan issues as well that seem to be happening. Um, like there's this one with like a some kind of inferiority complex or something I'm not entirely sure. Um that wants to go against the Sagu says which um is the family of. Uh, I guess the X class president, I guess now because she's graduated. Um and her father also kind of seems to be in some shady dealings, like actually working with the anti-magic establishment, but for the sake of the magic establishment, I don't know. So there's a lot going on. I think right now we're still very much because there's only three episodes, so I think we're still very much in the preamble setup, so it's kind of hard to know exactly where this is going, but I do see some good drama coming our way. So hopefully the fanfare is at a minimum and we actually get some good storytelling. That would be the best for this case.
Speaker 1:Next up, I was reincarnated as a Seventh Prince, so I can take my time perfecting my magical ability. Uh, first and foremost, my probably my most favorite part about this show is just how mentally unstable the main character is. He's basically just like a fanatic for magic, and he was a fanatic in his past life for magic, but he was of common birth. So I guess in this world you need to have like noble blood to have strong magic, and so he's reincarnated as a noble in this one. So he came back with the knowledge that he already had at a fanatic, but now he has the power to to actually like use his theories. Um, so it's kind of funny because it's also like he's trying to like also, uh, like hide it, because he doesn't want to be like the hero or anything like. All he wants to do is literally just study magic. Um, so, like you know, he's like doing things for fun and stuff like that and it's completely overpowered. Like he learned how to write enchantments on weapons, for instance, and they're completely overpowered. But he just was like, oh well, it's just a fun experiment and like just left it at that. Again, in terms of like actual substance of the show, I wouldn't really say there's it's, it's a. Again, it's very much just, if you like watching an overpowered main character this is. This is the show for you. Um, as to where it's going, there really is kind of no big bad as of yet. Like he's, he's kind of just trying to learn more and more about magic, so I'm assuming that he'll just learn more and more ridiculous things as they go on. But it's also fairly early. It's only like four episodes in, so who knows. But it is a fun watch. I would give it a shot if you want something to fill the void, if you're finding that your list is lacking this season. It's a pretty fun one to watch.
Speaker 1:Next, we got the Banished Former Hero Lives as he Pleases. This one is kind of following a similar arc to a few things that we spoke about last season, but essentially it's a guy that already has lived a past life as a hero. This time he kind of just wants to kind of chill out Um, but in this life he's given like a, I guess, a uh. He has a low level uh and lack of a God given gift, um, but because it has this heroes, he has his past um, life skills and everything else, like that. He's actually completely overpowered. Um, it kind of looks like uh, so he basically at the beginning he gets banished from his own duchy Um, and then it kind of looks like that his father and older brother or maybe it's his younger brother, it's a brother either way. Younger brother, it's a brother either way. Um are actually working with the demons to, I guess, kind of make a deal with giving them more power, type of thing, but not knowing that their son, that they thought was completely useless, is like destroying and interrupting all of their plans, um, so it's pretty classic in that sense.
Speaker 1:Um, it's like said it isn't one that I would say that I'm necessarily like excited for. I find that this one's very much a patter for my um weekly watches, just because, like it's, it's nothing new. Like it's, you know, he's completely overpowered because he has his past memories. He's screwing over his old family instead of, like you know, the old party in this kind of niche of anime, um. So I'm not expecting anything too crazy to come from this Um. I'll give it a shot. I'm going to keep watching it.
Speaker 1:Um, but I would say that if there is one that I might drop, it would probably be this one. Um, I would say that a lot of critics agree to like. I think it only has like a 3.2 on cruncher roll, which for something at least of this archetype, is pretty low, like that's fairly low, because I find that most um, new things or rated things on cultural like, usually stay in like the 4 4.8 kind of range. Um, if it's not like a ridiculous favorite um, but for it to actually be in like the low threes, um, I think does say something. Um, yeah, so I'll, I'll, I'll keep giving it a shot, like I I said I think that it is still too early, um, but it's also, I would say, probably one of the more predictable storylines, um, from this season.
Speaker 1:And finally, I want to talk about, uh, oblivion Battery. Uh, this one kind of actually started a bit later, so we only actually have a couple episodes out. Like I said, I'm a sucker for a sports story, especially when it comes to baseball, because it's like my favorite sport. I will say it is kind of lagging a little bit, at least in terms of pace, for me. But again, it's kind of hard to tell because it's already two episodes in. But if anybody knows anything about baseball, you know you need your infield, your outfield, a pitcher and a catcher right and right now, just to give you pacing. So like.
Speaker 1:The idea is that, because of the whole amnesia story arc of the catcher in the battery, the pitcher follows him because he refuses to have anybody else as his catcher, but the high school that they choose to go to doesn't have an active baseball team. Obviously, there is going to be a baseball team by the end of this, but so far, at least in terms of, I guess, finding characters. We have, you know, obviously, the pitcher and the catcher, which are the, who are the two main characters that are being followed. And then again, right now, we're in that very stereotypical no, I came here because there was no baseball, but they're very clearly going to end up joining the team at some point. And then we have, and their positions look to be second and shortstop, and then we have an outfielder, one outfielder. So that means we're still looking for at least a full team, not including any substitutions or coaching or anything like that. We are still looking for two more outfielders, a third baseman and a first baseman and a first baseman.
Speaker 1:And then, you know, I'm assuming that at some point there's going to be a whole episode in regards to try and find a, a technical advisor or something to become their coach or or something along those lines. Um, so yeah, so I'm a little kind of concerned about the pacing on this because if we're looking at 12 episodes, are we even going to get like a game of baseball or is this just going to be solely based on them? You know, for I'm just a little concerned that the next like you know, four or five episodes, the only thing that's going to be happening is that they're going to be finding quote baseball players that only came here to not play baseball anymore but are going to end up playing baseball anyway. And that's my concern. And I'm kind of more excited for, like you know, the after of that, like when they finally start playing and trying to mesh together. Because, at least in my mind, we're all ready for story one. We have to get the rest of the team, get the coach, find people to play with, have the one game that where they struggle to have any semblance of teamwork because they've never played before, and then finally persevere and become a really strong underdog team, and then, plus, we have all the amnesia with the catcher and everything else to also deal with in the story. So I am a little concerned. I am going to keep watching because because, like I said, it's really the only one, at least sport-wise and everything else, that's even playing this season. So it kind of fits an area that I feel has been lacking in past seasons recently. So I will keep at it and I'm hoping that it, you know, maybe turns out better than I think it's going to be.
Speaker 1:And that's it, guys. I have it all caught up. So those are my first impressions of this season thus far. Let me know what you guys think. Let me know if you think there are any shows that I may be overlooked, that I should talk about and or check out. And yeah, so Rival X reviews on all your social medias, and I'll see you in the next one. Shows that I maybe overlooked, that I should talk about and or check out. And uh, yeah, so Rival X reviews on all your social medias and, uh, I'll see you in the next one, buh-bye.
