What I'm watching (2021-2023)

These are shows I watched from 2021 to 2023.
This is an archive for prosperity purposes.      

-- 2021 -- 


Warau Salesman: A travelling salesman offers services but at a deep cost.
                The client usually acts upon greed and their ambitions backfire. Karma!
                It's a very repetitive episodic show but a fun time killer.

Dilbert: The animated adaptation of the famed newspaper comic strip.
This is my rewatch. I forgot how good this was.
I actually realised I hadn't watched all of season 2. This is good.

Crayon Shin-chan: The Funimation dub is pretty raunchy, maybe moreso than the original.
                I like how there's a bit of a storyline.
                Too bad it's so silly I dropped it.

Kenny vs Spenny:     I've watched it all before so this is my rewatch.
            This is so good. Happy times. Also watched the DVD commentaries.
            I didn't realise how old they were when filming it. Now they're ancient!

Oggy & The Cockroaches:     It's like Tom and Jerry, but with a cat vs three cockroaches.
                          I haven't watched this since I saw it on TV in the 2000s. It's good.
                         One thing I like is when the cockroaches get beaten by karma.

Parasyte - The Maxim:     A great anime that combines thoughtful ideology and violence.
                    This was my second time watching; first time was shortly after release.
                    This is a must-watch.

Dark Side of the Ring:      Recently watched season 2 of this great series.
                    It's like the only decent thing Vice has done.
                    Will watch season 3 when all episodes are released.

Monster: A doctor saves a boy's life, who grows up to be a serial killer.
A classic anime and a must-see for fans of suspense and thrillers.
I dropped this because I remembered too much from my first watching.

Viva La Bam: A part of my childhood. Bam and friends have wacky adventures.
        Sure parts are scripted but it's still funny.
        My favourite is Don Vito, then Ryan Dunn. RIP Ryan Dunn.

Moral Orel: I love claymation, and combined with adult humour this is a winner.
The third season gets super dark and I like it.
It's a shame the third season is cut down, but I do like the ending.

Mission Hill:     A blast to the past. I haven't seen this since the early-2000s.
    This is my kind of adult animation, not Rick & Morty-esque crap.
    I wish this ended with a finale. And a season 2. A movie? Ah well.

Hellsing Ultimate:     The ultimate version of this great 2000s edgy anime.
            It's got gore, swearing, guns blazing, Nazis, and smoking.
            Only ten episodes but they're double-feature length. Very recommended.

Deadman Wonderland:    A teenager is framed for murder and is placed inside a theme park.
                                            It is for prisoners, operated by prisoners, and trouble is brewing.
                                            Sadly the anime doesn't have an ending, nor does it finish the manga.

Perfect Blue:        Ex-idol Mima Kirigoe is stalked by a crazed lunatic.       Her inner personality also gets up to mischief. Then a big twist!      This is a good movie but it can be confusing.

Looney Tunes Cartoons:    Modern adaptations of these classic characters.
                                              I love that they are in the style of the 30s and 40s era.
                                              Not as good as the originals but those are a tough act to follow.

Wicked City:     Two people, a human and a demon, must protect a leader of both worlds.     It has violence, sex, bad language... typical old school anime shlock.     The plot is light but the action and sex makes up for it.

Dark Side of the Ring:        Watched the first half of season 3 of this great series.
                                               I'm amazed they covered Nick Gage. I thought they'd ignore him.
                                               Can't wait for part two of this season.

Spirited Away: A young girl finds herself in a spirit world and must get back home.         This is a classic anime film and still one of the greats.         I haven't seen it since it first came out on DVD.

Ergo Proxy: A detective and an immigrant uncover a network of secrets.
        There's cyberpunk aesthetics and killer monsters.
        It's pretty dark, literally. Pace is a little slow but maybe worth it.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time:     A movie about a teenage girl that can leap through time.
                                            It's beautiful in both visuals and story.
                                            This is a splendid movie, very much recommended.

Another: A new student in a school encounters a weird girl.         The school has a dark past and a gruesome mystery that haunts them.         It's an intriguing horror anime.

A Silent Voice: A boy bullies a deaf girl and this ruins his life.         This is tale of bullying and redemption.         It's a great powerful movie but also quite long. Bring some tissues.

Tokyo Revengers:     A loser finds himself back in time to save his ex-girlfriend from dying.
            It's like Erased but with a more delinquent taste. 
            I like this and I recommend it. Come on season 2!

Kiznaiver:    Six teenagers are linked together to feel pain and emotions Cheech & Chong style.
                      There is a secret group studying the results of their missions.
                      It's quite an interesting show, but that might not translate into good.

Your Name: A teenage girl and a teenage boy occasionally swap lives.
Things get interesting when he sets out to meet her.
It's a beautiful movie (except the god awful music). Recommended.

I Want to Eat Your Pancreas:     A guy meets a dying girl who's his classmate at school.
                               Slowly she lifts him out of his asocial dark place.
                               This is a lovely movie that makes you consider your actions.

Ghost in the Shell: Cyborg Motoko Kusanagi hunts down the Puppet Master, a rogue hacker.                 It has themes of technology, alt-reality (but not gender identity).                 A sci-fi cyberpunk classic, one of the best.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood:     Two brother alchemists are on a quest of revival.
                            This is a more faithful adaption to the hit manga.
                                                                    It's a rite of passage of every anime fan to watch this.

-- 2022 -- 


Cowboy Bebop:         A ragtag team of bounty hunters travel around hunting bounties.
                                    It's got drinking, smoking, and swearing. This is for grown ups, kids
            This is another rite of passage for any and every anime fan.

Mythbusters: It dawned on me that I never finished this classic series.         I watched the last few seasons I never saw, plus a few extras.         R.I.P. Grant Imahara and Jessi Combs.       

Castlevania: Dracula sets out for revenge after his wife is burned at the stake.
                                It's dark, violent, funny, and with nice attention to detail.
        This is very impressive in every element, a must watch.

Attack on Titan: It's humans vs Titans in this action-packed emotionally bleak series.
        I just love the European setting, with the architecture and naming.
        I'm re-watching this since only season 1 was out last time I watched.
      
The Simpsons: I was going to watch (almost) episode made, from season one to present.
                                I say almost because I may skip shitty episodes, especially celebrity ones.
                               I got as far as season 9 before I threw in the towel.

Serial Experiments Lain:     Lain, a teen schoolgirl, is coaxed into joining the Wire, a cyberworld.
                        A lot of strange things happen that may or not be real.
                                                This is pretty trippy and pretty good.

Rocko's Modern Life: A classic Nickelodeon cartoon of a wallaby in O-Town.
                It's wacky, zany, and got jokes for the kids and adults.
                I wanted to watch it all but I couldn't stand any more.

Howl's Moving Castle: A young woman has her youth snatched away by a witch.
                She finds herself at the eponymous castle to find Howl to break the curse.
                This is a brilliant touching masterpiece, as expected of Studio Ghibli.

Darker than Black: In a futuristic Japan, the Syndicate runs the world.
                A man named Hei works as a Contractor, infiltrating and killing.
                This is an action thriller with sci-fi and powers aplenty.

Happy Tree Friends: The violent misadventures of cute anthropomorphic critters.
                I haven't watched these in years, so this is my re-watch.
                Here's to hoping that movie comes out, or something, anything.

Kitchen Nightmares: Gordon Ramsey investigates why restaurants struggle. It's funny stuff,                 It can also get disgusting and not for the faint of heart.                 Thankfully most episodes can be found on YouTube.

The Promised Neverland: Some orphans learn the dark truth of their orphanage.
                        Can they save the other orphans without raising suspicion?
                        I only watched the first season since I've read season 2 sucks.

Genshiken: Slice of life about an otaku club for fans of anime, manga, and gaming.
After putting it off for years I finally watched it. It's pretty good.
I don't like the filler and they cut out some good scenes.

F is for Family:  Season 5 of the dysfunctional family dramedy.
        This is a good one and probably the best Netflix animated show.

Futurama: A loser gets cryogenically frozen and wakes up in the 30th century.
Now begins the wacky adventures of him and his delivery crew members.
I preferred watching this to The Simpsons in the 2000s. Still do.
Overlord: A guy is trapped in the MMO he's playing.
He takes the role of Momonga, the all-powerful leader of a guild.
His quest is to learn about the new world he's in and get rich trying.

Classroom of the Elite:    A genius guy lives his life in a school for geniuses.
                   Each student gets money and the rules are relaxed, but there is more to it.
                                           Everyone is out to sabotage everyone else. It's actually pretty good.

Spy x Family:   A spy needs to create a fake family to get close to his target.
   Too bad his new wife is an assassin and his adopted daughter is telepathic.
   This is a great series of action, humour, and even some wholesome.

Charlotte:        A high school guy can temporarily take over people's bodies.
          He lives the high life until he is transferred to a prestigious academy.
  Now he has to use his power to keep the order. It's pretty good.

Saga of Tanya the Evil:     A murdered guy is reincarnated as a young girl in alternate WWI Germany.
                    This is a world of magic and war, and she only has one life.
                    This is one of the better isekai I've seen. It's good.

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K   A teenage guy is a powerful psychic.
                        He tries to keep a low profile but his life is anything but normal.
                        This is a pretty good series.

Danberu Nan-Kiro Moteru:  A high school girl and her friends get fit and swole.
                         This is an inspirational series that'll get you exercising.
                         I prefer the anime to the manga since you see proper form in action.

Assassination Classroom:     A powerful monster becomes a teacher to a class of loser rejects.
                         He is a nigh-invulnerable being but also the best teacher they ever had.
                         They are tasked to kill him within 12 months. This is quite good.

I'm Quitting Heroing:     An OP hero defects to assist the demons he defeated.
                        Too bad the Demon Queen Echidna hates him.
                        This is a pretty good series with an interesting twist.   

Overlord: Season 4 of the guy trapped in an MMO as the guild leader.
Can Ainz rule over his Skeleton Kingdom peacefully?  

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom    A tourist is brainwashed to be an assassin.
                                            He does missions for a faction to gain control over L.A.
                                    This show is gritty and raw, with cool cars, tits, and violence.
 
KonoSuba: A loser guy dies and chooses to be resurrected in a fantasy RPG world.
He takes with him the goddess Aqua, who is a dumb useless bimbo.
This parody of the isekai genre is quite good. Come on season 3 and spin-off!


-- 2023 -- 


The Misfit of Demon King Academy:   A demon king is resurrected and attends a demon school.
                                  He's got trouble with doubters and the new King of Tyranny.
                                  This is great action and is a must for fans of OP MCs.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners:     A downtrodden teen guy becomes a mercenary to make money.
                          The setting and characters sell it. Great action and aesthetics too.
                                                  This is a modern day classic worthy of the hype.

Kill la Kill: A girl transfers to an academy searching for answers to her dad's death.
        It has good action, good art style, but it's a bit too silly.
                                This is quite a ride and I recommend it.

Paranoia Agent: A mystery assailant bashes people and two detectives try to track him down.
        The cast is an eclectic bunch of weirdos.
        This is pretty alright but can seem a bit slow and goes schizo-weird.

Shimoneta: Japan is a totalitarian country where sexual talk and smut is outlawed.
A new student has to help both a student council and a 'smut terrorist'.
This is hilarious and worth it to hear girls moan dirty talk.

Great Pretender A team of confidence tricksters scam unsavoury characters to make money.
        There's a good mixture of drama with action and nail-biting anxiety.
        This is a very good series and one that I recommend.

GIST: Stand Alone Complex:     A police force take on a hacker known as the Laughing Man.
                                       This is a sequel to the classic film and is pretty damn good.
                               Be warned, the CGI hasn't aged well. Skip the filler.

Mushoku Tensei: A loser is resurrected as a baby in a fantasy land.
        He's a prodigy at magic and seeks to make good use of his new life.
        This is one of the better isekais. It's not as 'controversial' as people say.

Tomodachi Game:    A group of friends are kidnapped and forced to compete in games.
           Turns out one of them may have stolen the school trip funds.
           This is pretty interesting but the pace is a bit too slow.

Chainsaw Man: A destitute guy ends up part-demon and hunts other demons with a team.
        It's generic plot is belied by its good characters and great animation.
        Another modern day classic worthy of the hype.

Cautious Hero: An isekai about a guy who prefers to be overpowered.
        He overlevels, buys too many items, and is suspicious about everything.
        This is pretty funny and a good twist of the usual formula.

More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers:     A high school assigns students as married couples.
                                           The nerdy guy gets paired with a popular girl.
                                                   Tension builds but romance blossoms. Good stuff.

Spy x Family cour 2:     The family of spy husband, assassin wife, and adopted psychic daughter.
                This time they adopt a big doggy that can see the future.
                Funny, wholesome, full of action, everything my life is not.

Haven't You Heard I'm Sakamoto: The MC, a new student, is OP and people want to tear him down.
                            The way he conducts himself, skill and charms, wins them over.
                            This is an alright slice of life school anime. R.I.P. Nami Sano.

Call of the Night: A guy meets a vampire girl and wants to fall in love so he'll be a vampire.
        She is resistant but she does relent. He just has to fall in love for real.
        This is an alright romcom though it has odd pacing and has a cringe soundtrack.

South Park: Season 26 of the long-running series of the eponymous small mountain town.
This is a good one. A shame the season is so short.

Elfen Lied: A killer girl made from a government experiment escapes captivity.
She gets amnesia and lives with college students and must evade capture.
The character design is ugly but the action is good. 2edgy at times and a slog to watch.

Demon Slayer:   A boy and his demon-possessed sister aim to avenge their slaughtered family.
    He joins the Demon Slayers to rid the world of demons.
    This is quite good even though it does not anything overtly special.

Odd Taxi: A walrus taxi driver has lots of weird and funny clients.
He winds up getting caught up in a plot involving a kidnapping and the yakuza.
This is pretty great stuff and worth a watch. Great twist at the end.

Komi Can't Communicate:     The beautiful talented Komi has major social anxiety.
                            Her normie male classmate aims to bring her out of her shell.
                            This is a good romcom but it's slow and too slice-of-life at times.

Akiba Maid War:     A maid cafe has business rivalry with other maid cafes.
            They settle things yakuza style, with bribes, blood, and guns ablazing.
            This is a fun series if you like seeing young women get shot.

My Dress-Up Darling:    Two polar opposite teens bond over costume making.
                   Gojo is the introvert, and best girl Marin is the extrovert.
                   This is a sweet romcom though the male MC is a dorky wimp.

Kakegurui: A prestigious high school is a gambling den, and the MC outsmarts them all.
She's a transfer student and her skills shake up the status quo.
This is a good one if you like psychology and mind games.

Kakegurui Twin: Prequel to the gambling series Kakegurui.
        This ONA focuses on Mary Saotome (the blonde chick).
        This is good stuff despite being a bit short.

Goblin Slayer:       A young priestess teams up with the eponymous Goblin Slayer.
        He is a man driven by vengeance: to eradicate all goblins.
        This is dark, gritty, and good, but not for the faint of heart.

Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro: season 2 of dorky wimpy senpai and the tanned teasing tomboy.
                                                             This season covers the judo arc and the first date. 

Jujutsu Kaisen:     A teen finds himself in a school of sorcerers to stop cursed spirits.
        He eats a cursed object, granting him immense power and a death sentence.
        Despite the cliched shonen plot this has some amazing fight scenes.

91 Days: A man joins the mafia to slay the mobsters that massacred his family.
This turns into a thriller with psychological warfare and guns blazing.
This is a good one. The English dub has questionable accents.

Dead Leaves: Two amnesiacs wake up on the moon and quickly cause trouble.
Slowly they come to learn who and what they are.
The animation and plot is fast-paced and deranged. It's pretty good.

Vivy: Flurite Eye's Song:   An AI is sent to the past to help a robot idol prevent human extinction.
                      Vivy must stop key events from happening over the next 100 years.
                                              This is a great one and not to be missed.

Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!:        Big titty Uzaki tries to get introverted Sakurai out his shell.
                                        This one-sided friendship slowly wins him over being a loner.
                                        This is a pretty good romcom with no wimpy MC!   

Blue Lock: Part football, part battle royale.
Many hopeful teens battle it out to be the best striker for the national team.
This is a great sports anime. Come on season 2 and spinoff movie!

The Island of Giant Insects:     A class of teens crashes onto an island of giant insects.                     Together they fend off the bugs while uncovering the island's secrets.                     Great dialogue, mediocre plot, atrocious CGI. Not too bad.      

Tokyo Revengers season 2:    Takemichi continues his quest to prevent a bad future from transpiring.
                          This season covers the Valhalla Arc to the Tenjiku Arc. 

Tomo-chan is a Girl!: A tomboy wants to date her best friend but he sees her as too masculine.
                Not helping is her meddling friend and the weird cute foreigner girl.
                This is a good one and the pacing is way better than in the manga.

Space Patrol Luluco: Luluco joins the Space Patrol to restore her destroyed father.
                She has to fight evil while blending in as a teenager.
                This is a pretty good series of shorts worthy of your time.

I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying: An office lady can't understand her husband.
                                              What's neat is that there is progress in this SoL.

Belle: A depressed teen girl finds fame as the singer Belle in a virtual world.
A beast creature causes trouble and she seeks to find out why.
This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It's good, even the singing.  

Lycoris Recoil:    An anti-terrorist group of female assassins takes in a transfer.
                              Their division is for the toughest missions done with unconventional means.
      If you want to see waifus get violent, this is for you. It's good.

Read or Die: A teacher is actually a secret agent that can make anything from paper.
Her mission is to take down terrorists that are interested in certain books.
This is a pretty good OVA. I won't bother with the TV series.

Akira: Some biker kids get in trouble in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo.
One of them becomes a psychic and goes on a rampage out of revenge.
This is a must-watch classic and still holds up.

Aharen is Indecipherable:      A guy is interested in a girl that can only talk in whispers.
                          She's short and overly friendly, and he's got resting bitch face.
                          This is a good romcom and has progress at a decent pace for once.

Beastars: A wolf befriends a rabbit and they must solve the death of an alpaca student.
Dangers lurks as a carnivore is on the hunt for herbivores.
This is a good mystery anime but the visual style hurts my eyes.

Tsuredure Children:     Episodic shorts of a teens having trouble expressing their feelings.
                This is quite good for bite-sized romance, even if it is repetitive.
                                        It's a shame it never adapted all of the manga; there were good moments!

Uncle from Another World:   A man wakes up from a 17 year isekai coma and retains his powers.
                          He comes to grips with the modern world but trouble looms.
                          This is a reverse isekai with an ugly bastard MC. It's quite good.

Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown:     The group go on a quest to protect a village from goblins.
                                   This is good preparation for season 2 (out October 2023).

Cowboy Bebop The Movie:     The crew investigate a terrorist attack involving a disease of some sort.
                           They find out a soldier-turned-terrorist is behind it.
                           This is a fantastic movie and is easily Cowboy Bebop at its best.

Mieruko-chan:   A teen girl can see horrific monsters no one else can see or hear.
    She pretends not to notice them while being scared out of her mind.
    It's a pretty good horror anime with some fanservice thrown in.

My Love Story!!:   A huge muscular guy and a short shy girl get attracted to each other.
        Don't get put off by the cringe misunderstandings early on.
        This is a good one that gets the romance going fast. So wholesome.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Prequel movie to Jujutsu Kaisen based on Satoru Gojo vs Suguru Geto.
        It's a good one if you're a fan of JJK. Hell watch it anyways.

Tonari no Seki-kun:  A teen girl is distracted by her male classmate's antics.
            This is a pretty good series to kill some time (heh).

FLCL: A kid meets a psycho girl who moves into town and his life is changed. 
This is weird. This is an experience. This is pretty good.
I recommend this OVA but I heard the sequels aren't too good so skip them.

Oshiete! Galko-chan:  Three teen girls have conversations about sexual things.
                There's the eponymous gyaru, the nerd, and the airhead.
                This is a pretty good short series. Shame about the manga's author.

Hinamatsuri:     A mysterious psychic girl appears and a Yakuza guy takes her in.
    It's a slice of life comedy, like Way of the Househusband meets Saiki K.
    It's pretty alright but it gets really dull, especially three-quarters in.

Somali to Mori no Kamisama:    Humanity is nearly wiped out. A golem helps a human girl get home.
                                It's dangerous work as most people want to eat humans.
                                This is cute but also boring. A shame about the manga's author.

Ya Boy Kongming!:   An ancient Chinese tactician is reborn and helps a promising idol get popular.             This is pretty good but all the singing bored me. Jin-Roh: A soldier realises the terrorists are actually freedom fighters.
                        It's dark, gritty, and there are no good guys. Bit confusing though. This is a good one. Lots of blood and great music.

Magical Sempai:   A guy joins a school club for magic, lead by a girl who can barely do it.
       Her magic usually backfires, leading to lewd situations.
       This is quite good. A shame what happened to the manga's author.

Freedom: A troublemaker teen gets into trouble on the Moon, his home.
He stumbles upon the truth of the "Great Cataclysm" that ruined Earth.
It's good especially if you like Akira. 

Burn the Witch:     Two witches are tasked to protect London from dragons.
         It's pretty good. It's set in the Bleach universe.
         There's a prequel, Burn the Witch #0.8, that'll come out eventually.

Tonikaku Kawaii:     A girl will only date a guy if they marry. What follow is wholesome romance. 
            Nasa is such a wimp that the cringe ruins it at points. Tsukasa is waifu.
            This is a good series that starts the romance early.

Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens:   A detective works with an assassin who wants revenge.
                     The detective is a dorky guy and the assassin is a cross-dresser. Hmm.
                        This is pretty good.

Redline:  A cool dude takes part in a no-holds-barred racing tournament.
This is a great movie, with fast driving and a neat artstyle.

Electromagnetic Girlfriend:    A guy and a clingy weird girl must solve a classmate's death.
                            A shame there isn't more to it than the two episode OVA.

Log Horizon:     Thousands of players are trapped in an MMO.
    The protags form the eponymous guild and become OP in their new world.
    This is like Sword Art Online but better. This is a good isekai.

Sonny Boy:    A school ends up in another dimension and some students get powers.
It gets quite weird but it's pretty good.
It's pretty dumb at times and nowhere near as deep as people claim.

Aho-Girl:  The life and times of a dumb banana-obsessed teen girl.
Her male childhood friend is a genius and the other girls like him.
This is pretty alright, but it's rather one-note, kinda dark and kinda dumb.

Love After World Domination:    A hero and a villainess get romantic but must pretend to fight.
                                This is a cute underlooked forbidden romance love story.
                                Now that the manga has finished can we get a season 2?

Ao-chan Can't Study:  A girl wants to study but a male classmate is making that difficult.
                First she's annoyed but romance forms... you get how it goes by now.
                This is pretty good.

Baccano!:  Many people hunt for the elixir of immortality.
There's a lot of characters and they all have stories. It's wild.
This is a good series. Lots of action. Kino supremo.

Iria: Zeiram The Animation:   A female bounty hunter looks into a hijacked space station coverup.
                    This has violence and action aplenty. A pretty good 90s OVA.

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague:     A romcom where a guy generates cold.
                                          He's descended from a yokai and she's a human.
                                          This is good. It's nice to have adults for a change.

Black Lagoon:   A salaryman reluctantly joins a group of mercenaries.
    He goes from spineless hostage to a badass motherfucker.
    This is a glorious show that showcases what 2000s anime is all about.

Mushoku Tensei season 2: Rudeus searches for his mother and goes to Ranoa University of Magic.
             This is a good one. Come on cour 2! (due Q2 2024)

Pluto: An android detective hunts down a suspect that murders famous robots.
The long variable episode length works in its favour.
This is a masterpiece that was well worth the wait.

Video Girl Ai:     A teen loser rents a porn VHS tape and a sexy girl jumps out of his TV.
    She aims to help him with his unrequited love but falls for him instead.
    This is a cute comfy OVA. 

Gunsmith Cats:  Two bounty hunter girls are blackmailed into working with the government.
     They tackle the cases their own way: with guns and bombs.
    This is a good OVA. A shame it wasn't a full series.

Suzume: A teen girl and a young man must stop a disaster by closing dimensional doors.
It's is a beautiful movie and the action is pretty good.
This is probably the movie I enjoyed most in 2023 (recency bias aside).

Toradora!:  A guy and a girl help each other with their crushes but fall for each other.
Ryuuji has resting glare face and Taiga is a mean tsundere.
This is a good one though it can be frustratingly slow and teasing.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy II: Anos Voldigoad is concerned about the "Child of God".
                            The Child of God could slay him. Gods are teaming up.
                            This is a pretty good season but it's not as good as S1.

Paprika:  A device is created to view dreams.
It gets stolen and misused to create havoc.
This is a very weird movie but still good.

Horimiya:  Two teens learn each others' secret sides and begin dating.
It's refreshing to have progress at this pace. Cringe moments though.
This is a good one. Too many side characters though.

NieR Automata Ver1.1a:   Androids 2B and 9S are sent to Earth to reclaim it from the machines.
                    Along the way they learn the truth of wars that transpired long ago.
                    I quite like this, apart from the CGI. Watch this anime and play the game.

Re:Zero:         An isekai where the MC is reborn after every death at set checkpoints.
                        Being unlucky as he is, he often dies and has his progress reset.
                        This is a good series and a nice change from the typical OP MC gimmick.

RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne:   An immortal detective meets a man that can treat her immortality.
                                 This OVA has got violence, alcohol, and sexy times. I like it.

Horimiya Missing Pieces:    A side season that adapts chapters that season 1 skipped.
                        It pretty much means it's all filler but it's canon so it's fine.
                        If you liked the first season this is just more to enjoy.

Senryu Girl:  A mute girl that talks through poetry bonds with a delinquent-looking guy.
This is cute stuff without dragging it out or retarded drama.

KONOSUBA -An Explosion on This Wonderful World!: Spinoff focusing on Megumin's past.                                                                                                            If you like weirdo girls, this is for you.                                                                                                       It's pretty good. Come on season 3!
