Mato Seihei no Slave also premiers next year and will absolutely mind break all of AniTwitter.
A feminist wet dream world were only women can be soldiers, so men are relegated to second class citizens. Until MC becomes a "slave" of the FeMC and he is an incredible beast of war. But the rules of the universe say that slaves must be equally compensated for their efforts, which means she (and anyone who uses him) is forced by literal reality to submit to his pervy desires (as it senses what he truly wants, so he can't hide or deny anything). All while often being openly humiliated and embarrassed but still compelled to the point of their bodies acting against their will until its complete.
The amount of raaaaaaaaaaape cries squealed out will echo across the globe.
The manga is a decent read. MC behaves fairly reasonable given the culture he's raised in, and establishing that culture helps a great deal in excusing a beta MC. It's not a divine morality law about slavery though, it's that one FeMC's specific super magic ability: Many super magic abilities in universe have drawbacks, and her's is that while she can effectively mind-control and super-power any entity (make it a temporary "slave"), she must compensate it.
Other slaves, such as any men who may attract hostile attentions of the super magic warrior women, are both metaphorically and sometimes literally fucked, their compensation is the woman not going preying mantis on them and killing them after they're done, and that compensation isn't guaranteed. MC really lucked out that FeMC finds him useful enough to not kill after her compulsed compensation is paid.
I enjoy the manga considerably, that's why I know its coming out. It manages to draw a great line between "ecchi funny moments" and "legit good battles" and has the two interact in an interesting way.
It will just draw a lot of controversy because of the use of the word "slave" regardless of how it works in universe (I suspect highly it'll be replaced for something else), and the extremity of how many girls are forced against their will to sexually service him over the course of the story because of said power. There is just enough "I don't want to do this!" whine from girls that it'll make people scream rape about it, even if most of them secretly enjoy it.
Goblin Slayer is the shit. I love it. Dr. Stone fell off hard for me. It was so good, then right off a cliff. I can't get back into it. I'm on like my 3rd re-read of One Punch Man, so that's the anime I want to see continued right now.
Dr Stone interrupting the flow of the story to tell you how to make bootleg coca cola is exactly why I watched it. I really don't care why there's some magic rock on a string allowing some guy to fuck many virgins like some Redo Of Healer antagonist without the sex scenes. The last season I watched, it was like "we need science..." "Oh, science was done off-camera! Back to shonen battles!".
It reversed its A-plot and B-plot. The show originally had a mystery-adventure as a plot excuse to show cool science stuff, and changed into having cool science stuff as an excuse to show a mystery-adventure.
I wonder if it was the creator or an editor pushing Dr. Stone towards a 'normie' path? I love action, fantasy, adventure, but that's not what hooked me on Dr. Stone. So when it became a different manga, I got pretty bored fast. I don't know if it course corrects later or not, but I was about 60% through the total chapters.
Just watched Goblin Slayer 2 ep 1, seems like it's doing it's great set up
Can't remember if this is the season we get Priestess doing essentially a war crime with her gods blessing against goblins that her goddess literally goes 'do that again and I'll take away your blessings!'
I miss it too, but I also strongly believe my preferences are colored by both nostalgia and a lack of other choices at the time. Not every anime is an Irresponsible Captain Tylor. Like, objectively, Negima was bad. I own ~40 Negima manga, because I liked the show so much, and it was POPULAR back in the heyday, but.. It's not a good show. Like, at all. And the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is... confusing at best as to its popularity. It relied on gimmicks and slight of hand to improve its own ratings, they literally pulled an Augmented Reality AR stunt back before those were a "thing", but Haruhi is still an idol of the anime community.
Chrono Crusade is a fun oldie, though, with the unique prize of "better ending than the source material", since they went past the manga and just started making things up leading to a beautiful ending, while the mangaka went bonkers and off the rails. Still holds up to this day, mostly.
Sola, though? Weird fantasy romance animes back then were... not great. Good concept, but... Wow, that show is mid at best now, one of my favorite romance anime back when, but I cannot re-watch it. A lot of my favorites are like that: They're better in my memories.

I don't think the medium has really advanced in a linear sense. That isn't to say nothing good has come out since then, I just can't get into the million "My Teenage Daughter Got Sucked Into An MMORPG and Has Become the Endgame Boss!" animes that have clogged the catalogue, nor can I watch an anime in a highschool setting at this point. Or really any anime at all.
I'll come back to things like the third arc of Samurai Horror Tales, Paranoia Agent, or Mononoke with my nostalgia intact.
Most of what I like is basically non-existent and esoteric at this point.
It's ridiculous because the anime itself looks like it has well done characters and everything but they're all acting like this guys some l33t gamer and it's just them running around hip firing at character models on the screen LOL.
This is the same thing that happens with some "sports" anime when they aren't really about the sports and more about the characters, character interactions, and plot. The problem is when people come in expecting (for example) an anime about baseball and then it's just a plot device.
At a certain point it just crosses the line between "this is more about the character interactions and that's clearly where they spent their budget" and so noticeably shit that it takes you out of the experience. And then you get anime that have both that poor animation and a mediocre story...
this is more about the character interactions and that's clearly where they spent their budget
That's true. But you really have to see this one. Some of the worst CGI I've seen in anime. At least Kemono Friends had some kind of charm behind the jank
Yeah this is the soggy lettuce of the anime buffet bar this season.
If you want something I can recommend that ISN'T a sequel (as easy to promote something with a track record) look at 'My Daughter left the nest and returned an S ranked adventurer'
I've read the manga for it so interested in the anime, it's fantasy where a man who lost his foot to a monster, lives his life in a small village, finds a baby girl in the woods and raises her. Can confirm from my reading, there is NO daughter wants to fuck the dad! No Usagi drop! She just admires her dad a lot and is a really wholesome relationship, with the anime having a nice soundtrack and excellent male role model vibes.
I was disappointed in the first couple episodes of Farm Isekai because it had the audacity to skip past winter in a show about farming but it turned it around and ended up being pretty good. There was one moment of localizer vandalism in the subtitles where they used singular they for the big female spider but I overlooked it.
Royal they. English doesn't have a singular they for a specific entity. If you're referring to a specific entity as a plurality, "they" are that plurality, the representative of the nation. Same as the royal "we". The people memeing on pronouns saying "Your Holiness/Your Holinesses" aren't actually that far off.
Having just finished the first episode of Faraway Paladin a few hours ago...gotta say season 2 is opening really fucking weak. Sluggish pacing and absolutely no hook. I guess that might be down to faithfully following the source material but damn am I having second thoughts about following it this season.
Surprise powerhouse out of left field for me this season is Kingdoms of Ruin. Maybe I'm just a sucker for angry protagonists out to burn the world down but the first episode has me keen to see our boy go on a rampage.
It's a slower show in general I think, but this season opened with zero movement whatsoever, which was a stark contrast to last season where I was able to get invested without any trouble.
Beastars ended on a good note. If they do a season three, I hope it is "Beastars: Side Story", and just does a tale in the same universe but not featuring Legosi et al.
.Hack did "trapped in the MMO, if you die in the game you die for real" genre way better than many modern contemporaries. Id_Entity is a fun take on that genre (manhwa only, not anime), though, unlike Aura in .hack or Yui in SAO being mostly just a plot element, it goes all-in on the AI character being a major story component, and the FeMC.
Mato Seihei no Slave also premiers next year and will absolutely mind break all of AniTwitter.

Oh boy, that is going to be spicy.
I am waiting for Goblin Slayer 2, Dr Stone 2 and Spy X Family 2.
Also, not everything Japanese is awesome. Zom100 is a dumb but fun anime, but the live action movie sucked.
Kengan Ashura is awesome. Baki is kind of hit or miss. Action is great but the talking and drama gets a bit much.
Goblin Slayer is the shit. I love it. Dr. Stone fell off hard for me. It was so good, then right off a cliff. I can't get back into it. I'm on like my 3rd re-read of One Punch Man, so that's the anime I want to see continued right now.

I miss the 1996 - 2014 anime epoch. A good 18 years of ups and downs, but housing most of what I was content to see.
I miss it too, but I also strongly believe my preferences are colored by both nostalgia and a lack of other choices at the time. Not every anime is an Irresponsible Captain Tylor.

I know it doesn't, and you know it doesn't, but there are thousands of very loud and very stupid communists who are absolutely convinced it does.

I'm just waiting for season 3 of Beastars, if there's going to be one. Dunno where it could go from the end of the second season, though.
Beastars ended on a good note. If they do a season three, I hope it is "Beastars: Side Story", and just does a tale in the same universe but not featuring Legosi et al.
.Hack did "trapped in the MMO, if you die in the game you die for real" genre way better than many modern contemporaries. Id_Entity is a fun take on that genre (manhwa only, not anime), though, unlike Aura in .hack or Yui in SAO being mostly just a plot element, it goes all-in on the AI character being a major story component, and the FeMC.
I like log's horizon take on trapped in an mmo, kinda got dragged with the later raids.
I wish to see this. Neither the site you linked nor the youtube trailer for the anime shows it.
