My spring seasonal anime tour. 
I’m excited to have one of these again since winter was kinda disappointing for me. I only kept up with アオのハコ S1 | L24 and picked up ハニーレモンソーダ S1 | L25 (entirely skippable).
The animation is maybe not the best, but the locations are beautifully drawn. I do quite like the character design as well.
It felt cruel to have to watch a travel themed show immediately after getting home from Japan, but that complaint aside, I really enjoy travel shows and this feels like it will be a good one.
The MC feels a little milquetoast, but I’m sure they’re setting up character growth for her over the season. I did find her cute when she was out doing things.
The difficulty is rather easy, probably L23-24, except for the narrator who bumps the difficulty up quite considerably when he talks.
I’ve never actually finished Anne of Green Gables, but have seen a number of adaptations (although not the earlier anime). The art was absolutely lovely, and it really feels like the show is in love with the location (I wonder if they sent anyone to Prince Edward Island… 
)
For difficulty, Anne is … a lot in Japanese. I also don’t know the story well enough to remember the characters outside of the Cuthberts, so I had some difficulty with Japanese pronunciation of character names as well. I’m going to guess L25-26, but maybe a bit easer than that if you are more familiar with the story.
I had no idea about this one before it showed up in my Netflix recommended feed, but was really pleasantly surprised. It’s a Jump manga with a romance plot/strong female co-lead, so it’s basically target audience of me, but it wasn’t on my radar before. Great animation, I really like the two leads so far, and the arc for the season feel well established even in the first episode. Vocab was a little tricky for me in ep 1, but it might settle down after the plot is established. Est L25-27, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets a little easier as the season goes on.
I’ve watched the drama twice through, so I was really excited for this one. It feels like the anime is doing its own thing (maybe a closer adaptation to the LNs?–I haven’t read those yet) but still has all the things that worked for me in the drama.
Difficulty-wise, dialogue doesn’t feel difficult if you’ve done detective shows before, but they talk fast. Est L27-28.
I didn’t find any first episode duds this season, which was great. But it also means that I have 4 seasonals that I’m committing to right now.
