== My (Twitter) reactions to the first episodes of the Winter 2020 anime season

[[As before Fall2019FirstEpisodes]] I'm collecting here all of my tweeted
reactions to the first episodes I've seen (in the order that I saw them).

* BOFURI #1: I rather liked this, but I was biased towards it because
  I've enjoyed what of the manga I've seen. I'm scoring it solidly
  entertaining in a deliberately silly way; Maple is gleefully (but
  unknowingly) breaking the world in her own fun way.

* Eizouken episode #1: That was a bunch of fun and a paean to animation,
  and I like these kids. I definitely hope that this show is going to
  go interesting places; I'll find out next episode.

* In/Spectre episode #1: This is my kind of stuff in general so I'm
  biased, but this was sharp, interesting, nicely done, and with all
  sorts of lovely touches in dialog and action. And I like these two
  (I can't call them 'kids', all things considered). They bicker well.

* Magia Record episode #1: That was a decidedly interesting start,
  often told in an interesting way that I liked. Iroha is an intriguing
  person with undercurrents, the whole show looks good (and had some
  decent action), and I want to watch more.

This pretty much covers anything that I feel likely to watch. I've
heard good things about the story of *Infinite Dendrogram*, but from
all reports the implementation in animated form is not particularly
impressive. There's also *Heya Camp*, but two large parts of what I
loved about *Laid-Back Camp* were Rin and the actual camping and I
understand that neither of them are in these shorts, which doesn't make
me very enthused.

(There's also sort of *Dorohedoro*, but it's apparently so mired in what
is sometimes called the 'Netflix jail' that it wasn't even covered in
the ANN review of this season's first episodes.)
