The animation is strange. The intro looked decent, but then it goes full CGI. I'm only about a minute in, though.

Of what is out so far that I have seen:
Kanpekisugite Kawaige ga Nai to Konyaku Haki (Too Perfect Saint) - Seems interesting. Slow start, think it's more romance / slice of life fish out of water. I think the kingdom that sold her and kept the other saint is gonna be in dire straights in the future.
Wind Breaker 2 - Will keep watching to see where it goes.
Devil May Cry - (Netflix)* - Got around to watching all 8 episodes. Was alright I guess. I admit to not being a big DMC fan, watched it with friends who are that didn't like it much. Knowing none of the lore / backstory I thought it was serviceable. Wasn't terrible by any means to me. I do know they hardly mentioned his guns Ebony and Ivory at all and that is a big deal to Dante.
Your Forma - Kind of a slow start, Murder mystery in a cyberpunk Scotland Yard UK. Seems like it could have good potential.
Beginning after the end - - Wow this first episode was just info dump after info dump. Instead of learning about the world organically as he travels around and lives (like Frieren) it's a big info dump the entire episode. I learned all this stuff as a baby and I learned how to do magic as a 4 year old or whatever. Just reading about and then almost mastering magic. Comparing to like Fern that took years in a world where magic was understood and useable by about anyone vs this world where he was born into a world with magic that is fairly rare and having no prior knowledge about it. I'm hoping the next few eps will have more of a time jump than like 3rd grade or something. For me so far I'm not very impressed.

It reminds me of mushoku tensei if the main guy was Alexander the Great instead of an incel. That's just a first impression, i haven't read it or anything.

It uses 3 different animation styles, the main of which is Arcane style but not as good.

I ended up liking the show. It's very unique, as is the animation used throughout. Good stuff.

Ok, watched:
High School Tits: It is what it is, hate the MC already.
Old Swordmaster: 35yr old guy with a harem. Alright.
Lazarus: Oof. Good animation, but seems "western" even if made/led by MAPPA. Horribly flat English VA's.
End/Beginning: Lack of budget hurts an otherwise good story.
Guilty Gear Strive: Watched it due to the game and ASW aesthetics. Probably a pass.

I read the manga, and If they don't shuffle things around it's going to be a few episodes of the new kingdom basically worshipping her, which is the boring part.
The fun probably starts after episode three, when shit hits the fan.

It starts real slow, but gets crazy over the top at the end. Also Band-Maid did the motion capture for the band performances.
