I was hoping this season was the season I would have the chance to rewatch some favorites of mine but my list is getting longer than anticipated.

• Fate Strange Fake
• Helck
• Shiro Seiko
• Ryza

3 episodes:

• Zom
• Dark Gathering
• Rurouni Kenshin
• Chiisai Senpai

Shows I might not actually watch because I read the manga (exceptions include Helck and played Ryza):

• Suki na Ko ga Megane… (Damn GoHands is walking a very fine line with this one)
• Temple
• Masamune-kun
• Horimiya

How do I watch so much? I don’t. Some of these will be dropped halfway through or altogether when the new season starts.

I am not watch anime seasonally usually but: Vending Machine and Jujutsu Kaisen S2, also started One Piece finally, on episode 12 so far.

I usually try out a ton of shows, but also drop a lot of them as the season goes on.
I’ll include a rating giving my current opinion to shows I’m watching, obviously subject to change.

Notables just finished and waiting for the sequel season

• Mashle
• Why Raeliana ended up at the duke’s mansion
• Dr stone

I generally only watch one or two shows as they air each season and then binge them at the end because I can’t stand the wait, so my pick this season is the vending machine!

I found the vending machine one to be strangely interesting in a stereotypical kind of way. Kenshin I’ll probably drop, seemed like a direct copy or close enough of the original and live action movies. I liked My Happy Marrige a lot more than I expected and really need to see the next episode to make a determination. I really didn’t like The girl I like forgot her glasses. The production is… something, and not in a good way. And the story isn’t catching me.

I’m more or less trying out everything this season (been doing so for a few now).

The big names are all awesome as expected but I’m really enjoying a lot of the smaller ones as well.

The romcoms have been a lot less enjoyable for me this season so far (last season was STACKED), but I’m still seeing some flashes of brilliance here and there.

Current season definitely watching:

• Mushoku Tensei S2
• Horimiya - Pieces

Current season trying out:

• Vending Machine
• Helck

Trying to catch up to possibly watch this season:

• Jujutsu Kaisen

Finishing up from last season:

• The Dangers in my Heart
• Loving Yamada at Level 999
• Skip & Loafer

Watching:

1. Jujutsu Kaisen S2
2. Mushoku Tensei S2
3. Zom 100

Finishing from last season:

1. Dr Stone S3
2. Heavenly Delusion

Hoping to finish the ones from last season soon, so I can start more from this season. I try not to watch too many anime per season as it just gets too hard to keep up.

Want to watch:

1. Reign of Seven Spellblades
2. My Happy Marriage

Mushoko tensei

Jujutsu kaisen

Kenshin

Currently Watching:

Edens Zero Season 1 Shaman King (2021)

Recently Completed:

Tenkuu Shinpan Chainsaw Man

Struggling to find anything to watch this season. Seems like most shows this season are either continuing series that I don’t care about, or fall pretty firmly into my “don’t bother” list: uninspired isekai schlock, drawn out will they/won’t they romcoms, and contrived harems in which everyone inexplicably likes the self-insert main character just because he’s the only “nice” male in a 50 mile radius.

Ryza is okay but the characters are absurdly dumb (let me closely inspect these blue flowers to check if they are white or not). Zom 100 seems all right and is well animated but the first episode of [40 minutes of generic Japanese salaryman backstory that I don’t care about] was really tedious to get through. I gave the vending machine a chance for at least trying to be unique but was not at all impressed - it’s just the same isekai crap beneath the surface (just buy the exact skill I need to solve each problem that appears). Will probably try to watch the first 3 eps of Helck in one sitting because people have been enthusiastic about it, hopefully it’s decent.

If anyone has any recommendations for a good comedy or fantasy series I’ll check it out, otherwise it’s probably gonna be a backlog season for me.
