I watched the re-introduction of Slime today. It's actually episode 24.9, which is just a giant recap of everything that happened the first season. It was nice seeing the characters again. I may re-watch the whole first season, but I need to see how much time I have.

Let's see...

First ep of Re: Zero was sooooooooo good.

I'm kind of getting sick of Zero myself. Thought it was OK.

Hidden Dungeon looks like it will be good.
Beastars didn't miss a beat.
I looked at TQQ and thought it was OK.
The Conflict with Camillia seems OK.
Last Dungeon/Boonies was good also.
Back Arrow was meh...

I liked the first episode of 'So I'm a Spider', was kind of amusing having the MC ponder philosophical and existential issues, and then shrug it off as 'eh, who cares'.

Reminds me of Chrysalis.

It was a decent open, but I don't yet know if I really like the series. I have high hopes for it, but episode 1 really didn't do much for me. And some of the other students from her class became people and a dog, so she got the short end of the stick.

I've watched the first episode of almost everything this season. I'm interested in a little too much. So I'm only going to post the ones that interested me or better.

Monday
Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari -|- Kid born in high level zone and thinks he sucks except he's really strong because he's used to failing at EVERYTHING that's high end. But he does really well in "ez-mode" shit without getting an ego about it.
Urasekai Picnic -|- I don't normally like this type of show, but it kept my interest. I'll give it a shot, but high on my drop list.

Tuesday
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken -|- Reincarnated as a Slime is returning for a 2nd season, and the "previously on..." episode was a good refresher.

Wednesday
Soukou Musume Senki -|- Armored Girls. It kept my interest, but I don't usually like this type of show. As a result, it's somewhat high on my drop list. I'll give it another episode or two.
Yakusoku no Neverland -|- Neverland is back for the 2nd season, and it was good. I'll keep watching.
Re Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu -|- Resuming the 2nd season of Re Zero. Great, this show is great.

Thursday
Tenchi Souzou Dewsign-bu -|- Heaven's outsource team. It had some laughs about real animals and kept my interest.
Hataraku Saibou -|- Cells in the Human Body. Seeing this gave my daughter some information about the body she didn't know previously. Much like the other cells show, it's high on my drop list.
Hataraku Saibou Black -|- Much darker look at the same subject, cells in your body. This one focuses on with diseases or illnesses. The white blood cells are real ninja specialists. These are both kids hows, so high on my drop list.
2.43 - Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu -|- A Drame based show about Volleyball. I love Haikyuu, so I'm going to give this a shot as well.
Go-toubun no Hanayome -|- Quintuplets season 2. I liked season 1, and this started off on a good note. Let's see how it progresses.
Yuru Camp -|- Slice of Life about girls that go camping. I think my wife will like it.

Friday
Kumo desu ga, Nani ka -|- Reborn as Spider/Giving it a try. Don't know if I like it yet, but it did keep my interest with speculation about what it could become.
Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun -|- Console Gaming and how it relates to the "game" of Real Life. It was entertaining with a fresh spin on an old story.
Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon -|- This is the Hidden Dungeon show. I liked it and lots of harem possibilities, but the sister love was a little much.
Jujutsu Kaisen -|- The show about fighting curses continues. Good, I like this one.

Sunday
Mushoku Tensei -|- I LOVED this one. The first episode hit me right in the feels after reading the light novels a year ago. Damn is this going to be sweet.
Shingeki no Kyojin -|- Titan/Entertaining

Was looking for something to watch and I decided to give Ex-Arm a try. Holy fucking shit is it animated poorly. I lasted 6 minutes. Mostly bad CG animation but the opening had 1 CG character talking with badly done hand drawn character and it was total shit. Makes Berserk 2016 look like it was done by Ufotable.

This is a Crunchyroll Original series. This is where Crunchyroll puts their subscriber money to produce more "quality content." Remember High Guardian Spice? That wrapped up in November 2019, and since then Crunchyroll hides it in the basement and pretends it doesn't exist.

You know what the real punchline is? The Berserk (the CGI one) director and the studio (Millepensee) did the currently running "So I'm a Spider, so what?" show, which isn't even remotely as bad as Berserk was.

Tatoeba Last Dungeon
Not an Isekai, which is great. It's more like Konosuba, where most characters have some mental issues. The kid is a yandere magnet, with the loli grandma being the biggest one. Most of the characters have puns as names: Riho Flavin, Choline Sterase, Dextro Merthophan, Allan Toin Lidocaine, Chrome Molybdenum.

Mushoku Tensei
I was surprised with how good the quality/production was. This is basically studio White Fox flexing that they can create a new studio, so they can produce two big shows like Re:Zero and Mushoku Tensei at the same time.

Ok. Few great 1st episodes I was waiting to look at...(see alone with no interruptions!)

Horimiya was really good.
Jobless Reincarnation was the best 1st episode thus far. LOVED this.
Mysterious Disease was good also.

Thus far good start to the season!

Yea, if Jobless Reincarnation can continue as it started, it will easily be the best series this season.

I had forgotten all about that one, I wonder if it will ever see the light of day. Maybe once Funimation goes over everything to see what they bought, they burn it.

Absolutely. That bullshit "animated CGI" style is just so damn creepy. I don't care how good a show could possibly be, if I can't get into the visual of it, I'm going to pass every time.

I had stopped watching AoT since about mid way through S3, but decided to catch up since its the final season now. Its really good, sure its had some backstory that could be seen as a bit boring(?), but I've found it to be very well done so far. Not sure what Eren is going to do vs. Hammer, but we'll see!
