Dropped it at episode 7 or 8 but I liked the bonus episodes, especially the cat one.
I specially liked that they lost the opportunity of making cats non-binary and throwing in an orgy for fanservice. It felt natural for a change, albeit different than the rest of the series as it left the agenda at the door. If the whole series hit these notes (different from taking acceptance away altogether) the end result would have been better, age better and increase the likelihood of a future seasons (I think a second season will happen, but if they don't course correct and make an accepted smash hit it's done for then).
The writer episode as well, they made him a feminist without (technically) giving him a vagina or having to have intercourse for inclusivity points, which seeing the rest of the series must have been hard. It felt like an episode grounded on the 21st century where men that don't understand what being a female is spin it for sympathy/sales. All that made it feel like something real rather than a shitty fanfic.
Throughout the season they constantly put too much emphasis on non-conventional sex and non-conventional sexual orientations without any meaningful payoff or balance, it felt like shock factor which, while not shocking at all, after a while felt quite stupid. The issue wasn't that these characters were gay, it's that the fact they were felt more important than the rest of the plot.
Also, some of those changes and inclusions were good, but they turned it all the way to eleven to the point it fell largely flat on it's face at crucial points that were already being panned with pacing issues.
while every other episode is 6.9-8.5
