The inaugural season for the Nearly On Red YouTube channel. It introduced the (Not Quite) Daily Show format, both the Long Look and Short Look versions.
Just as in Season Two, this season began with an ill-fated attempt to review every single new show’s premiere episode, after which a focus series was chosen: Made in Abyss for Season One and Land of the Lustrous for Season Two. Because of this, both seasons began their analysis coverage weeks behind the release of each episode. Both would ultimately be put on hiatus in Winter 2018 in order to do a week-to-week analysis of the focus series for that new season and the one after (Darling in the Franxx).
Due to an evolution in style and ability during this hiatus, the latter third of this season differs from the earlier parts (starting with episode 10). By the end it became desirable to make up for the weaker beginning; this resulted in a finale video that looked back at the series as a whole (and ran nearly 4 hours). Thus Season One has both the shortest and longest videos in all of the seasonal coverage.
The focus series Made in Abyss did not complete its story, and at least some continuation has been announced. This future content will most likely be covered on the Nearly On Red channel in some form.
