Dunno about you, but I myself am pretty disappointed with this show, at this point watching it only out of some warped sense of duty. It's not particularly well-written or well-drawn, there's nothing smart or eye-catching to it, even the initial Shirobako-like anime premise just isn't really true. It's an Abe propaganda show, nothing more, nothing less.

There are worse things I am watching right now, but you are pretty much on point. At least it is not bland or outright bad, so I can still get enjoyment out of the characters. I am also pretty mad about the second opening.

Almost 23 episodes and there haven't been many stand out episodes besides teaching the elderly to shitpost. I can't even imagine it being a propaganda show because their efforts to rejuvenate Manoyama have been insignificant. Instead, they're raising the QoL for the residents that already live there and the only reason Erika didn't already leave is because her of her family. If anything, it's really driving home the fact that these populations and communities are going to die out despite any revitalization attempts. Maybe the long awaited "quest" will bring out all sorts of staying power but they seem pretty adamant on showing that Manoyama doesn't need change because it's happy to die slowly.

It's a fun show and best girl does things to my dick.
