Want to highlight two shows completed this week, both of which have eyebrow-raising premises at first glance.

TsumaSho: Yeah, lol at the official localizations omitting the "My Wife is Reincarnated as an Elementary School Student" part (they don't want to get cancelled). It would be a really good moving-on story about getting to terms of the MC losing his wife,

if they did not deceive Takae about him and his co-worker Moriya getting married. Wow, it's been a long time since I was royally pissed over an ending. I did ship Keisuke and Moriya, but the more problematic part is the insult to the audience's (and Takae's) intelligence that his dead wife would be contented because of a fake proposal. Okabe Rintaro deceived the world. This is but a cheap knock-off.

It's bad enough for the rating to drop down a notch because of one episode.

Tawawa on Monday: Features not just an age gap and a student-teacher relationship, but also some more "mundane" ones like an office senpai-kouhai and high-schoolers who are childhood friends. Even without the fanservice, its story punches well above its four-minute episode length. They were able to weave different plot (and "plot") points together into a coherent story. The top-notch voice acting adds to the enjoyment. My favorite is Kayano Ai's performance as Kouhai-chan. Unironically watched this for the plot.

Tawawa on Monday

I bounced off of this one a few weeks ago. I liked the first episode and (what I thought was);the overall concept, but when the next episode introduced a different female lead who was immediately mostly defined by large bouncy breasts, I was a bit disconcerted, and then when I skipped ahead and sampled some of the other episodes, all apparently featuring different women, all defined by large bouncy breasts, I lost interest.

I'll have to give it another shot though. It's not that I dislike large bouncy breasts, but that I tend to assume that when they make such an early and prominent appearance, there's not going to be much else of note.
