\nLeaping to the top of the queue by virtue of drawing first blood this season, from the first episode of Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara<\/i> – or If Her Flag Breaks<\/i> if you like English (Or Gaworare<\/i> if you are worried about letter counts). It’s that thing in the top-right corner, being used as a table in the ramshackle Quest Dorm<\/i> in which the male protagonist resides.<\/p>\n

I have to admit, I’ve been spending an awful lot of time this season staring at the frontpage of Crunchyroll, finding myself not really finding all that much that I particularly feel like watching most nights of the week. I only really stuck this show on as background noise whilst I was fiddling around with something else, but it’s cute enough, I guess. I suppose I should watch No Game No Life<\/i> by means of comparison, but Gaworare<\/i> feels very much like a confluence of ongoing trends in the industry – it’s all very light-novel, whilst also continuing that gamification of relationships as portrayed in the likes of The World God Only Knows. Only, you know, being way more literal about this whole flag<\/i> concept. Maybe I’ll watch more, maybe I won’t.<\/p>\n

But, hey, it’s a double Bank Holiday Weekend here in the UK, so I’ve got a nice four-day break during which I can pretend that I’m actually going to catch up on checking out new shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
