What I'm watching

 What I'm watching

-- ONGOING --

86 Eighty Six: The mech war turns out to be fought with humans pilots: the secret 86 squadron.

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic: A trio of teens get isekai'd and the MC has healing magic.
                                    He is then trained by a mean dommy mommy.
                                    This is a pretty good series.

Tsuki ga Kirei: Two teens fall in love and must deal with life and maturity.
           It is anime original, thus it is a complete story.
           It's pretty good but I'm not too fond of the art style.

Delicious in Dungeon: Adventurers traverse a dungeon and must survive by eating the monsters inside.
                                       It's like D&D mixed with Food Wars. A shame the nutritional info isn't shown.
                                       This is a great show. They better adapt all the manga since it's finished.

My Hero Academia: A kid with no powers (at first) gets into an academy that trains future heroes.                  There is an eclectic cast of weirdos with weird abilities.                  Some say it's mid shounen slop, but it's entertaining nonetheless.

Bofuri: A girl plays an MMORPG and dumps her points into defense.
     This makes her half-OP and half useless: she barely takes damage but can barely deal damage.
     This is a pretty good series but it's a bit too chill and low-stakes for my liking.

Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again: An old couple wake up back in their 20s.                                      They do cute lovey dovey stuff with an elderly mindset.                                      This is so wholesome it hurts.

 

-- 2024 -- 

Bubble:   A boy who messes up in gravity-defying parkour meets a mysterious girl.
                It's alright. The parkour action is the best part.

Oshi No Ko:  The doctor that delivers an idol's twin babies is killed by a stalker.
He then finds himself resurrected as her son. His path to stardom begins.
This is an amazing series, setting a new standard. A must watch.

Attack on Titan: The Final Season:   The conflict ramps up as titans are used in warfare.
                               Everything comes to a climax in this final season.
                               This is essential watching if you're a fan of AoT.

Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc: Tanjiro and Nezuko enter the eponymous village.
                                     They are there for a sword but find upper rank demons.
                                     Still a great show if fat action and thin plot are your thing.

Isekai Quartet:  Crossover with KonoSuba, Re:Zero, Overlord, and Tanya the Evil.
    Each of their main cast are in school and learn various things.
    It's pretty good and fun to see the character interactions.

Spice and Wolf:    A forgotten wolf goddess comes across a merchant who recruits her.
       They bicker but they slowly bond as they travel and do business deals.
     This is a good one. This was my rewatch before the remake airs in April 2024.

SPY x FAMILY Season 2:  More adventures of the family with an assassin, spy, and telepath.
                      There are some good story arcs like the cruise ship.
                      This is a good one, maybe even better than season 1.

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Love You: A teen guy has to romance 100 girls or they die.
                                  This is hilarious and really puts the 'com' in romcom.
                                  This is a great harem romcom. Come on season 2!

Goblin Slayer II: Season 2 of the Goblin Slayer's quest to slay goblins.
              There is a noob wizard, an elf wedding, and more goblins raping women.
              This is some good stuff. Can feel a little slow at times.

My Senpai is Annoying:  Romcom between a short office lady and a tall salaryman.
                   He looks down on her, literally, but she secretly likes him.
                   This is a cute one. The relationship progress is slow as hell though.

Zom 100: A loser sets off on completing his bucket list during a zombie apocalypse.
                 He joins up with his pretty-boy friend, a gym bunny, and a big titty Aryan weeaboo.
         This is a great series and a good spin on the zombie genre.

Why the Hell Are You Here, Teacher!?: A teacher and a student keep getting into lewd situations.
                                    Over time they bond and become a secret couple.
                                    This is a good one, especially for teacher x student enjoyers.

Summer Time Rendering: A guy returns his hometown to attend a childhood friend's funeral.
                      It turns out her death may have been caused by supernatural shadows.
                     This is like Higurashi When They Cry meets Re:Zero. It's pretty good.

Bikini Warriors: Girls in a fantasy world go on adventures but nothing ever goes right for them.
            It's like Dragon Quest meets Konosuba, just with the ecchi dialed up.
            This isn't bad, and with episodes only 4 minutes long each it's bite-sized fun.

Heavenly Delusion: Two teens wander post-apocalyptic Japan in search of answers.
                                  There are monsters that come out at night, and dangerous people at day.
                  This is quite good and it really needs a season 2 or a cour 2.

My Clueless First Friend: A male transfer student befriends the ostracized 'creepy' girl.
                                             His chunni nature makes him idolize her, much to her appreciation.
                     This is a cute one but don't hold your breath for love progress.

Hell's Paradise: Condemned criminals and their samurai handlers search for the elixir of immortality.
            Their destination is a paradise island of monsters and killer plants.
            This is good, with plenty of action. Come on season 2!

Chained Soldier: A man stranded in a demon city is saved by a girl with unusual powers.
              He is given temporary powers at the cost of being the girl's slave.
              It's a lewd series with enough action to cancel out the cringe drama.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2: Another part of the cursed spirit hunters.
                   First we get a prequel part, then more Sukuna and Yuji goodness.
                   This is a great one, easy to see why it won so many awards.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End: A hero elf woman learns the hard way of living a long life.
                                She takes her friend's adopted daughter and learns about humanity.
                                This is a great one, not be missed. Bring some tissues.

Gushing Over Magical Girls: A girl wants to be a magical girl but is turned into a villainness.
                                                   This gets lewd fast and stays there.
                                                   It's quite good, mainly for the 'plot' and the character development.

Say "I Love You":   A lonely girl with trust issues meets a guy who changes her life.
                  He's the popular one and she's the one being bullied. Opposites indeed attract.
                  This is standard shoujo fluff, which means it's good romance food for the heart.

The World's Finest Assassin: An isekai where an assassin gets reincarnated as a nobleman to kill.                      He is tasked by The Goddess to kill the Hero.                      This is quite a good series. Come on season 2!

O Maidens in Your Savage Season: A literature club of horny teen girls wants to learn about sex.
                            Each girl has their own path of sexual discovery.
                            This is a pretty good romance with the ecchi dialed up.

Combatants Will Be Dispatched!: A guy and an android work with evil corporation and a kingdom.
                         He assembles a team of weirdo girls to defeat the Demon Lord.
                         This is a good one, and since it's by Konosuba's author it's funny.

Onimai: I'm Now Your Sister!: A loser NEET guy is turned into a young girl by his genius sister.
                             He is resistant but he slowly likes it more than his old life.
                                     This is a pretty good SoL series with lewdness but has LGBTaggotry.  

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!: A guy moves to Hokkaido and meets a local gyaru gal.
                                It turns out they are in the same school and they bond.
                                                                This is cute, lewd yet wholesome, and worth it for the accents.

The Eminence in Shadow: An edgy teen's isekai imaginations come true.
                                              He is reborn as an OP MC with a harem of combat girls.
                     Anything he thinks of actually happens. This is some good stuff.

Classroom of the Elite - season 3: More antics of Ayanokoji's rise to the top of the school.
                          It's always a treat to see him outsmart and play everyone.
                          This is a good one but honestly I think it's the weakest season.

The Apothecary Diaries: A female potion maker is tasked by the imperial court for her services.                  It's an episodic show with poisonings, political intrigue, and chibi moments.                  This is a good series, full of drama and great art.

A Sign of Affection: A deaf girl meets a pretty boy that changes her life.
                  He's a chad with much to teach her, like confidence and love.
                  This is good lovey-dovey shoujo fluff, just what the doctor ordered.

Solo Leveling: Gates to dungeons open all over Korea and Hunters enter to gain loot for money.
         Our weakling MC soon finds a way to level up and become OP, but it's not easy.
         This is an adaptation of one of the better webtoons. Maybe mid but it's fun.

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Shinji has a crisis of confidence in the Evas and himself.
                                      This is a good adaptation of the classic series, sans Shinji.

Shangri-La Frontier: A lover of shitty games plays a good VR MMORPG with the aim to conquer it.
                     His experience with bad games makes him a strong player.
                     This is a great love letter to online games. Come on season 2!
