    I’ll include a rating giving my current opinion to shows I’m watching, obviously subject to change.

    Dropped:

    • Last Boss (ep1)
    • Level 1 Unique Skill (ep1)
    • Ryza (ep1)
    • Yumemiru (ep2)
    • I don’t blame you for dropping Ryza. I am going to give it one more episode before dropping since I have heard good things about the source from a friend that is excited about it, but so far I have found it very dull.

  • 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 all the releases and I’m waiting for three episodes before I start dropping shows but following are the ones I enjoyed: Liar liar, Zom100, Mushoku tensei, Helck, Vending machine, and Thighza.

    The rest had to be on 1.5 or 2x speed or else I would’ve dropped it before the 10minute mark of episode 1.

  • 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.
