Thoughts on Bloom into You: Regarding Saeki Sayaka Volume 2

The second volume of Hitoma Iruma’s Bloom into You: Regarding Saeki Sayaka puts the focus mostly on Sayaka’s high school life, particularly her first year and her thoughts and feelings towards a certain girl.
There are only three chapters in this volume, but one of them runs quite long for light novel standards – I think.

Autumn 2020 Anime: First Impressions

A post is never late, nor is it early. My first impressions post for the autumn 2020 season of anime arrives precisely when I mean for it to. Er… also, I’ve been watching a lot of Hololive English streams lately, but that’s probably not connected in anyway.
Anyways, as usual, here are my initial thoughts about each show I have chosen to watch for this season.

Healin’ Good ♡ PreCure Episode 29: Pursuing Strength

Nodoka is keen to grow stronger in the twenty-ninth episode of Healin’ Good ♡ PreCure, but her approach towards that goal might not be the best.

Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina Episode 3: Flowers and Happiness

Elaina’s journey continues on, and this time the episode adapts two chapters from the light novel. One encounter involves flowers, and the other one a bottle.

Adachi and Shimamura Episode 2: Fishing for the Future

Shimamura makes quite an eccentric acquaintance in the second episode of Adachi and Shimamura, and then we get Adachi’s perspective on her relationship with Shimamura.

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Episode 2: The Bear Visits the Adventurers’ Guild

I was not impressed with the first episode of Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, with the way it just jumped deep into the story. Don’t know who was responsible for that decision, but perhaps they should have a think about some things.
Fortunately, it looks like things are far more sensible with the second episode.

Healin’ Good ♡ PreCure Episode 28: Evolution

Nodoka is not feeling too well in the the twenty-eighth episode of Healin’ Good ♡ PreCure. This episode also offers an insight into how Byogens evolve, as well as a connection to Nodoka’s past.

Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina Episode 2: Close to Zero

We’ve seen how Elaina got her start, so now her travels can start proper with this second episode. The Ashen Witch’s journey takes her to a country of mages, where she finds herself becoming a teacher.

Adachi and Shimamura Episode 1: Table Tennis

Now we come to the third light novel adaptation I want to watch of the autumn season, and it is Hitoma Iruma’s Adachi and Shimamura. Funnily enough, this is the only one that starts with its source material’s first chapter. Of course, this serves as our introduction to Adachi, Shimamura and a couple of other characters.

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Episode 1: Bear vs. Black Viper

The second light novel adaptation to air in the autumn 2020 season of anime is Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear. As was the case with Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina, I shall be comparing the anime adaptation to its source material.
I can tell you right away that we are starting off very differently from Kumanano’s light novel.
