Notable Drops:

Delico’s Nursery (4 episodes) – Certainly, the message that child-rearing is as important a job as any other is a meaningful one. But I don’t know. When your other job is crime-solving, and people are out there dying while you and everyone on your team are changing diapers and looking after the kids, it does make me question your priorities.

The Elusive Samurai (Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi) (3 episodes) – It was not bad, by any means; the animation especially, looked great. But I just felt too much discomfort reconciling the very violent and disturbing narrative elements (eg. torture and murder of children) with the comedic content. Well also we have a tendency to be less interested in action dramas starring child-protagonists.
