I totally judged that one out by it's cover, which if I am remembering correctly is a baby in a diaper or something? Not like me to do that, I'm totally fine watching the 12-year-old boyiest level of shonen stuff even, yet I excluded that one. Sounds interesting though, I'll have to give a try.
Also, thanks for reminding me about From the New World. I read about that somewhere and totally forgot to take note of it--then forgot the name of it.
mushouku is kind of trash tbh, the self hating 30 years old pervy Otaku personality gets annoying after a while and after the first arc, the plot is just not going anywhere when he goes to the academy after he became impotent after his gf left him after their first fuck (she never bothered to let him know she wanted to improve her combat skills so he thought she left because he's not good enough)
ranking of king is also kind of overrated, the retro 60s art style is interesting and the animation is excellent, but the main character is just unbearable, he sounds and acts like a retard through out, after the initial sympathy seeing him struggle wears out, you're just left with annoyance seeing him go snotty wah wah wah every episode
Yeah I think I watched two episodes of Mushouku and while I don't think I've given up yet, the little weird perversion moments were kinda unnecessary and didn't make me like it more.
it never goes away, even at the most serious/dangerous moments. he was supposed to work on becoming a better person in every aspect but the only character improvement is him being humble about how powerful he is, the rest of his personality remains 'pedo' trash
Shin Sekai Yori is great. It gets uncomfortable, but worth a watch.
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash (Hai to Gensou no Grimgar) is another hard hitting isekai. A group of kids are transported for no reason or purpose, and with no special powers, and have to learn to survive in their new world. The story isn't completed in the anime (although ends at a good spot), so you'll have to read the rest if you want to finish it.
+1 for Mushoku Tensei, though be prepared to be put on an fbi watchlist. They could have kept the themes and characters intact while dialing back the pedo fanservice imo.
I'll add Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood to the pile. A perfect mix of scifi, alt history, action, political intrigue, drama, and comedy.
As for recent stuff, I recommend 86. It's a really well done exploration of characters navigating an impossible situation.
