My First Impressions: For something that is supposed to be 12 episodes, the pacing is a bit slow and the characters are so dumb, I could not watch more than 1.5 episodes. The art and animation aren't great either. <not continuing unless recommended>

My First Impressions: I tried watching ep1 and got really bored. I like a lot of slice of life but this one was a bit too slow and seemed to have a lot of random stuff stiched together. <not watching unless recommended>

My First Impressions: 3 eps in, it's almost slice of life but a cute adventure style. The characters seem fairly typical but I kind of like the fact that he ends up living in a forest for a while before anything really happening. The art and animation are not special but not bad either.

My First Impressions: I'm really not sure where this is going, and the characters seem almost a bit forced. It's not bad, but feels like one of those ones I'd drop at any time.

My First Impressions: The pacing is horribly slow even though the story moves at a decent pace, it's quite weird. I'm really not a fan of these characters, especially the main character who is a bit too "for justice" and "omg I'm too weak to protect the people I love". <not continuing unless recommended>

My First Impressions: I'm not a big fan of the art, but it's tolerable. The story and characters are definitely going for realism and it's not bad. If I dropped it, I wouldn't miss it, but it's also good enough to keep watching for now.

Majo no Tabitabi - ? eps

Summary: Once upon a time, there was a witch named Elaina, who set off on a journey across the world. Along the way, she would meet all kinds of people, from a country full of witches to a giant in love with his own muscles-but with each meeting, Elaina would become a small part of their story, and her own world would get a little bit bigger.
My First Impressions: This is very Kino no Tabi but with a witch instead of a talking motorcycle and its rider. The first episode really doesn't tell you what the rest is going to be like. It's not great (Kino no Tabi was better) but it's interesting enough to keep watching.
