TLDR: Anime I never finished, Winter 2024 Part 2

January 29, 2024

Things are going pretty well this season. I haven’t queued up that many anime, so I’m not forced to drop that many. Herewith, my final drops.

The Witch and the Beast: Generic josei wherein Plucky Heroine meets Mysterious Domineering Male under suspicious circumstances. Turns out he’s really a softie with a heart of gold — when it comes to her. Not badly done, but it just couldn’t hold my interest.

7th Time Loop: Generic josei wherein Plucky Heroine meets Mysterious Domineering Male under suspicious circumstances. Turns out he’s really a softie with a heart of gold — when it comes to her. At least she’s a person with her own agency, having been through this six times before. It could be worse. It could be Endless Eight.

Doctor Elise: Generic josei wherein plucky heroine meets … actually, Plucky Heroine, MD, makes her own way in the world, despite handicaps such as being the betrothed of the Crown Prince and respected by the King. Opens with her surviving the crash of a fuel-laden airliner that doesn’t burn, giving her the opportunity to perform open chest surgery on another crash victim, using a chunk of window glass and some dental floss, all the while bleeding out from her own wounds. Dies from a thirty foot drop from an open door plug and isekais into a medieval world that knows neither modern medicine nor mayonnaise.
