Fire Force is ok. Animation is quality, action scenes approach ufo table awesomeness. I read the manga for a bit but it just really sucked after a couple of volumes. The humor was just so bad. The tone was too schizo for my liking.

First episode of Dr. Stone was decent. Sidekick was annoying though. He's not quite the yell all the time type, but he's close.

Dr. Stone seems enjoyable. I'll probably keep watching it. Not going to stick with Fireman though.

Dr. Stone was...OK. I'm getting sick of the yelling guy already.

Anything stick out for anyone this week?

So far I've watched:
Fire Force - Animation / Artstyle is good, maybe a bit too heavy on "special effects", but solid intro. I'll be disappointed if the MC's baby bro turns out to be the big bad.
Kanata no Astra - Felt like there was a bit too much comedy in this. Hopefully it gets a more serious feel.
Granbelm - Magical Girl... with mechs. /shrug
Dr. Stone - Interesting idea for the story, will continue.
Dumbbell - Less T&A than expected.

None of those shows really stood out as "Gotta watch!" sadly. Maybe some of the other shows I plan on watching will be that way.

Edit: Watched Lord El-Melloi II episodes 00 / 01, and I'm impressed. Best of the bunch so far. Was there a previous season of this?

It is part of the Fate series, takes place between the events of Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night.

Decided to go ahead and binge it. No real changes from the manga so far other than showing it in chronological order instead of a flashback.

I was hoping we'd get to the death of Thors by the end of episode 3, but it looks like we'll be waiting until next week. I guess England will will have to wait until episode 5.

Just watched "Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou" and I'm wondering if I missed an Ep.00? The show description says its about a high school class that gets teleported to a different world where each has special powers / abilities, except the MC is way below the rest. This Ep. 1 seems to take place well after that event with everyone adjusted to their new world. Weird.

Edit: Also watched Cop Craft. If first episodes are to indicate the quality of a shows season, then Lord Melloi II and Cop Craft are top tier.

They showed a brief glimpse when he was going through his madness of his class before they were summoned. I would guess everything they had in the description will be fleshed out in later episodes.

Really? I don't know, it felt like I missed a bunch of backstory and the MC is super edgy. CGI monster didn't help. I'll give it another ep or two though.

No lord melloi is a direct spin off of fate zero as far as i know.

Tugged at my heart strings to see Iskandar and Gilgamesh and part of the episode was set in babylon. Loved it.

airifutera? gonna have to check where it is airing.

read the light novel, thru several books, decent.

mc is going to "die" in the dungeon during a fight (blasted off a bridge by a jealous classmate he gets trapped DEEP in the dungeon and adapts to eating monster flesh/getting their powers via a milk thing he finds) and that is where he gets his power up,
book 1 deals with the xfer, them leveling, him "dying" and using his power to adapt/get powers then he is a typical OP mc style harem. end of book 1 is him meeting the vampire girl at the bottom of the dungeon and escaping the dungeon, book 2 is bunny girl who is super strong and can see the future. he really does not meet up with his classmates again for several books
