My First Impressions: Just 2 episodes in, but I'm fairly sure this is just a slice-of-life type anime with magic thrown in. The character can be a little over the top sometimes, but otherwise, it's not bad so far.

My First Impressions: After 2 episodes, it seems pretty obvious this is your standard school slice-of-life where the awkward girl somehow gets surrounded by bishi boys who like her. It's okay so far, but hope it gets a bit better.

Kurt, however, seems completely unaware to his talent and ends up saving people, the town, and even the country through his unaware actions!?
My First Impressions: If only the other characters would tell him how ridiculous he is, maybe he'd realize. Anyway, so far, it's fairly standard. The pacing isn't too bad though, so has potential.

My First Impressions: with only 2 episodes, it seems fairly typical, Cinderella-like story except she doesn't realize how poorly she was treated. The opening and end of episode 2 suggests there will be more focus on the little sister though, so we'll see where this goes.

My First Impressions: With only 2 episodes, it seems like a fairly typical reincarnation-isekai OP main character. There's some character development so far, so it could be good.

My First Impressions: We really didn't need yet another reincarnation isekai, though this one seems kind of cute? The singing is terrible though, so I was skipping those parts. The art/animation isn't great. The story is a bit slow, but I'm willing to give it another episode or two to decide.
