Later than usual but had a busy few days to sit down and do this. Not bad in general as there was a lot of average but some REALLY good stuff too so you got some good shows to pick from.
Honorable mention to Bleach TYBW cour 3 still behind on that so can't honestly rate it till I catch up over Christmas. Might also look into SAO gun gale as heard a lot of people saying that's good too.
I've read the manga shows:
As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll use my appraisal skill to Rise in the world cour 2: this is more focusing on the actual war now and battle tactics but a few good character moments. I know the MC can get annoying for some with his over reaction so I can recommend two other mangas for that which are similar but less annoying 'Shock face mc' trope.
Tsumasho: Off the bat, pedo pajet this is NOT a show for you! Now where was I, a family unfortunately loses their wife/mother and just collapses as she was the emotional pillar for them, the father and daughter live together but withdrawn from the world. Till one day a young girl comes to their door and says she's the reincarnation of their wife/mother. Haven't caught up but if it adapts well from the original it's a VERY well done story dealing with moving on from a loss.
The GOOD shit
Dandadan: yeah this one came in HARD this season, from the great intro from Creepy Nuts, solid outro, the fantastic visuals, soundtrack, comedy, aliens and spirts after your 'banana' and balls, a character making me appreciate the GILF tag and despite ALL of this, its a high school romance. Just give this a try as you'll probably enjoy the madness.
Shangri-la Frontier S2: it's back still as good as ever with one episode just being a boss fight, a mecha game being rge focus of 3 episodes and some comedy gold moments in the most accurate depiction of gamers anywhere.
Re Zero S3 Cour 1: welcome back onto the pain train motherfuckers! Dear god does our boy continue to suffer in this as the deaths in the early episodes were dark as fuck. Still one of the best isekai out there at least in top 5.
Aquired taste:
Dan Machi S5: Bell has been a lot more likable for me since he got his shit rocked by a minotaur in S3, now he deals with the literal goddess of yanderes in this season.
Arifureta S3: it's not bad, but this feels a set up season unless this is two cour season, lots of things being put in place for a final showdown.
The most notorious talker runs the world's greatest clan: the art isn't anything to praise but what pulls me to this show is he is REALLY Machiavellian, two teammates try to ditch him stealing the parties money, sell their ass into slavery. A guy tried to poison you so they didn't have to pay you for a quest? Gouge out his eye and threaten to kill him in front of his family unless he pays up. I enjoy a not taking this bs type of mc.
Demon Lord 2099: this will only be early impressions, but I like the idea of the Demon lord reviving but finding his power now easily matched by a combination of magic and technology.
Average/Mid selection
Seirei Gensouki S2: It didn't improve from S1, not that it's bad it's just, meh. You can easily watch in the background and still guess the story correctly
Let this Grieving Soul retire: I can see what they were going for (and focus with some of the shots of one if the characters) but personal take, this comes off as a less funny copy of Eminence in shadow, just watch that.
The Healer who was Banished from his party is in fact the strongest: It's mid, nothing bad but no real pull behind it.
That's the list, I did watch I'll become a Villainess who goes down in History but can't make my mind up about it, I've just read and watched better versions. I haven't seen Ranma 1/2 so can't comment on it but feel free to comment on what's mentioned or add a bunch I KNOW I missed.
Oh was it? I thought it was fall, I only just finished watching it yesterday.
