Quick rundown of shows I am watching

  • Oshi no Ko - This arc has really built up some great drama. Next episode is shaping up to be fantastic
  • Alya - Yuki completely steals any scene she is in
  • Love is Indivisible By Twins - Fantastic guilty pleasure show that is dripping with melodrama
  • Tower of God - Been a slow start to this season, I am an episode or two behind now though, maybe it picks up
  • Dungeon People - Been liking this one more than I thought I would. Cute main pair.
  • Nokotan - This one is hot and cold for me. Some jokes connect and others don't.
  • Isekai Quality Assurance - This one has been interesting, but it hasn't really blown me away yet (willing to give it some more time)
  • Dahlia - Janky animation aside, I feel like the story here has been cut down a lot from the LNs..and it feels like it has.
  • Plus-Sized Elf - I would have dropped this if it wasn't half-length episodes
  • Pseudo Harem - A couple episodes behind on this one, mostly due to time.
  • Spice and Wolf - Been letting this one run without watching for a bit and plan to binge it later.

I have been pretty busy irl this past week, so I haven't been able to post as much as normal or watch as much as I normally do. Adulting sucks sometimes :(

Isekai Suicide Squad: Been struggling on this one. It looks good, VA is good, but it's just not grabbing my attention. I thought the 2 live action movies were both fine in a B movie way, but this just isn't doing anything for me.

Delicious in Dungeon: After all the excitement I've seen for this show, I'm not feeling this much either. I haven't gotten much plot or character development, and the cooking is all about fake stuff I can't try, so that doesn't help. Some of the monsters are unique though, like the Living Armor, but I don't know if I'll do season 2 of this.

To Your Eternity: Finished season 1. Now this one was pretty good! None of the baddies feel very threatening, but the emotional damage makes up for it. Couldn't go straight through this show, had to take breaks for happy stuff.

Bakemonogatari: Very strange, and after 3 episodes, I'm not sure what I'm watching. I feel like I started on season 2 or something. All the cuts and text is odd, and the female MC whole personality seems to have done a 180 in 2 episodes.

My Deer Friend: Heard this was very weird. Watched the trailer. Gf angrily left the room 2 minutes into it, she was not a fan. I don't think it's great by any means, but I can take ridiculous in small doses. Gives me modern Bobobo vibes.

Reincarnated as a Slime S3: Background noise for me mostly. Ahead of this in the manga, and I almost dropped the manga during this stretch. Manga has caught my interest again though, so we'll stick with this.

Plus Size Elf: Enjoying this more than I expected. I probably wouldn't watch it if it was censored. It's not good enough to watch half the episode blurred out, plus having read the manga, I've seen it already. The nudity isn't even my style, it's wayyyyy too exaggerated for my taste. The voices of the characters are all super charming though, and that ramps up what fun is actually there for me. I feel they may have added in more actual fitness tips than I remember as well. The chemistry between the characters, especially the elf and dark elf is perfect. I'd be friends with all these characters, so I'm liking this one.

Also excited that Aharen is getting a S2. Was not aware of that before the other day. I watched S1 a while back along side Tomo-chan, and that was a fun combo.

I literally just finished My Deer Friend and it was awesome and disappointing that there's so little of it. Is it super new?

It's a bit of an oddball one. Many, many jokes centered on deer puns.

The anime just came out a month ago, and I just looked up the manga, and there's only about one season's worth of story out there, 37 chapters.

There should be another episode Sunday 11 AUG. I couldn't find how many eps are in this season anywhere.

It's a really oddball show. I saw it was tops on the weekly rankings so I gave it a look. To me it feels like the energy of Bobobo got shoved into Azumanga Daioh.
