== My (Twitter) reactions to the first episodes of the Fall 2017 season

[[As before Summer2017FirstEpisodes]] I'm collecting here all of my
tweeted reactions to the first episodes I've seen (in the order that I
saw them).

* Kino's Journey episode 1: That was solid as an exercise in setting and
  philosophy, with a reasonably appealing viewpoint character.

* Girls' Last Tour episode 1: That was a nice mood piece, full of great
  little moments & willing to be quiet. Slice of post-apocalyptic life.

* Land of the Lustrous ep 1: That was a solid and interesting start,
  even if I don't entirely like one of the character archetypes on display.

* The Ancient Magus' Bride ep 1: A good solid adaptation of a
  marvelous manga. It's not as exceptional as the original but it
  does a good job.

* BBB & Beyond episode 1: That was a perfectly okay adventure story
  that said little beyond itself. Basically a reintroduction of everyone.

* Garo - Vanishing Line episode 1: This was decent popcorn action,
  with some nice touches, some teeth-grinding bits, and not the best fights.
  [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/916887149294903297]]

* Code Realize episode 1: An unexceptional implementation that doesn't
  exceed its genre and thus is not for me.

* Children of the Whales ep 1: That was reasonably nice and reasonably
  pretty, but it sure had a lot of exposition narration & infodumping.
  [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/917950952161923072]]

* Recovery of an MMO Junkie episode 1: That was okay, but probably
  not good enough to get me to watch what's going to be a romance show.
  [[→ https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/918681823332454400]]

* March comes in like a Lion episode 23: A solid restart, emphasizing
  the positive growth in Rei's situation and probably setting things up.

I've decided to skip *Inuyashiki* for [[various reasons
https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/918577532059910145]] (and
Crunchyroll has the manga if I feel interested in skimming
at some point). This season is probably too busy for me to
look into *Just Because!*, since I've mostly sworn off shows
set in high school, although [[it's getting good reviews
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2017/fall/just-because/.122308]].
Finally, [[*Juni Taisen* is just not my kind of show
https://twitter.com/cks_anime/status/915325263466070016]].

(High schools and especially high school romances are basically
played out for me at this point; I've seen so many that a show
has to be exceptional to keep my interest. *March comes in like
a Lion* is an exception (in the non-romance category); *Toradora*
was an exception in the romance category.)
