I gather that we are just past the halfway point of the Summer 2019 season of anime. And in terms of this blog, I've been enjoying the ode-to-disco theme songs for "Danberu Nan-Kiro Moteru?"(ダンベル何キロ持てる?...How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?)and the funkalicious and wacky opening theme to "Joshi Kōsei no Mudazukai"(女子高生の無駄づかい...Wasteful Days of High School Girls). The shows themselves have been fun to watch and they've been my hits this summer.
One other show on the viewing block has been "Machikado Mazoku"(まちカドまぞく...The Demon Girl Next Door), the tale of a supposed bad witch girl named Yuko "Shamiko" Yoshida(吉田優子)who repeatedly tries to one-up her classmate, Momo Chiyoda(千代田桃), a magical girl heroine, so that her family which represents a long line of bad witches can get on a better financial footing. My anime buddy told me that the show has been steadily rising in his appraisal but I think it's been a bit more hit-and-miss for me. "Machikado Mazoku" is an adorable and mellow series but sometimes it's been a little too calm...to be honest, I almost fell asleep during the most recent episode.
"Machikado Tangent" was written, composed and arranged by Miho Tsujibayashi(辻林美穂). The interesting thing about Kitō is that she's also starring in one of the big hits of this season, "Kimetsu no Yaiba"(鬼滅の刃)as the half-demon little sister, Nezuko.
