Yatogame-chan Kansatsu Nikki: Why did I even bother? A short that relies on sex pun jokes. . . Fail.
501st Butai: This isn't really Strike Witches. It's some dumb gag manga spinoff written by someone other than the original authors. On top of that the art and animation budget is piss-poor and everything looks awful. Avoid at all costs. Fail.
Kenja no Mago: A pretty typical isekai. I like isekai so even mediocre fare like this gets a pass. The main character is super overpowered -- but that's always the case these days. I dunno. Just like a fizzy drink that's gone flat. Pass.
Sewayaka Kitsune: A fox goddess descends to Earth to do the job women were meant to do but no longer do -- service a guy at home once he gets back from work. I think it's atrocious that the only way a guy can hope to be treated to a decent life is if a Goddess starts granting him miracles. This should be ordinary. If he works this hard and earns this much, why aren't women just lining up for him? Why does a fox need to intervene? To make matters worse the guy just has this infinitely timid, boring personality that makes him insufferable. Fail.
Carole and Tuesday: It's clear this show is aiming to be an artistic masterpiece and a phenom. A lot of very talented people have put a lot of work into it. It has a huge budget. However, as a racist, I find it very difficult to enjoy a story featuring a black female protagonist. She has light skin, which helps, but the 'sass' is unmistakably there. The story so far is basically Nana except substitute the punk rocker Nana in for a black woman. Nana was already mediocre so Nana + black woman. . .? Oh well, out of deference for all the talent and hard work put into this series I'll give it a shot. Pass.

Shingeki no Kyojin S3 will be joining the mix shortly, so that makes 18 shows for the spring season. That's a jam-packed spring lineup.
If Kimetsu no Yaiba lives up to its potential and becomes a great anime the spring season will have done its part.
