Watched quite a lot of stuff again this week:
'Im in love with the villainess': its okay, still waiting for the last episode, but so far it doesnt seem like anything really will be resolved by the end of the season. Id watch another season, but if they leave it at that its pretty meh. But well see, maybe the last episode surprises.
'Blue Drop: Tenshi-tachi no Gikyoku': only watched the very first episode and tbh can barely remember anything cause I was drunk when I watched it. Anyone got opinions on that show? Idk if I should restart it.
'The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior': was okay, nothing special though, and imo took itself too seriously sometimes.
'I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss': I liked this one, decent romcom. Would watch another season.
'Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion': I liked this one too, a bit surprising after I initially disliked the animation, but it was a nice romance. Would watch another season.
'Tomo-chan is a girl': was okay, good enough romcom if youre bored.
'The Dreaming Boy Is A Realist': only watched the first episode and it was weird and cringy, doubt Ill give it another chance.
'Masamune-kun no Revenge': I watched the first season years back and only recently noticed they made another season. Rewatched season 1, which is okay, though it definitly improved by getting another season with a real conclusion. I liked season 2 more, it concludes the show nicely, but (major spoiler)
I kinda hoped the blonde girl got with masamune in the end, not adagaki. It still was enjoyable though.'My Love Story With Yamada-kun At Level 999': Good romance, I liked it.
'In/Spectre': I rewatched season 1, havent seen season 2 yet. Season 1 is fine, good enough that I will watch the second season too.
'Tsundere Akuyaku Reijou Liselotte to Jikkyou no Endou-kun to Kaisetsu no Kobayashi-san': Im halfway through this one, its meh. I dont hate it, but its just not very interesting or anything. Imo it might have been better to remove the real life commentator stuff and just focus on the isekai romance. Yeah, that would have removed the animes 'unique' aspect, but still. Also idk if its just me, but the animation seems pretty bad imo. Ill probably finish it anyway since Im halfway through already and its not that bad, but I wouldnt recommend it.
Ill probably start 'I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness', sounds like it might be either exactly my type of shit or gigacringe.
@Merryvann pin pls

Caught up with Frieren and its great. Besides that, it's eminence in shadow, goblin slayer and magus bride carrying the season for me.
Not excited for next season tbh. Solo Leveling will be fun until it gets boring when hes too OP, COTE3 will be alright, the rest looks like shit. Onsen master isekai? Seihei no Slave? A gorillion new shitsekais? Kekon yubiwa monogatari for another shitsekai harem? Trash season.
I dont get how studios see the mediocre ratings for isekai but ignore the successes of true fantasy like Frieren that avoids video game system bullshit.
Uzumaki cannot release soon enough holy frick

Standsrd fantasy. Starts after the heroes party killed the demon king and is splitting up. Follows elf mage who has a megalifespan and has no concept of time, so when she reuintes with the hero days before his death, she realizes she wasted a lot of time and an opportunity to really understand people close to her, so she basically goes on a pilgrimage, gets a new party and decides to actually give a shit and get to know them. Its more about personal growth and development, human connection and how we manage time than it is about fantasy. The depiction of demons as beasts who use language to prey on people is also kino. It's AOTS so if you missed it you're fricking up

Sorry to tell you that you are in fact incorrect. It will win AOTY on animation and style alone:

Like all Junji Ito works, redditors will like the art and pretend the content isn't r-slurred. But no amount of ugly mfers and scratchy lines can turn my brain off. Omg the spooky shape is in my ear

Previous adaptations have had shit art and animation and have been despised, this one actually seems great.
Its horror, its always r-slurred. Heck, if the characters werent r-slurred almost none of them would die and there would be no suspense or story. Hes overrated, but lets not pretend like modern shows do story well anymore. Its all mediocre except maybe 1 show a year.

I watched every episode of the Ito Junji Collection as it aired and enjoyed it more than the like 20 some chapters of Uzumaki I made it through. And I gave that show a 4/10. Spirals aren't scary.
