That's why I dropped it, I'm already not that into gore and that show was just to much of it.

It was even starting to be too much for me and that's a feat. LOL

I watched the first episode and it didn't draw me in.  I'll probably give it a second shot here later.  It's kind of like 'The Eminence in Shadow' for me. Everyone was praising it but watching the first episode, it didn't draw me in.  I'll probably try pushing through to watch the second ep at least as I guess that one is a slow build to understand it.

I actually tried Eminence in Shadow. The joke requires too much suspension of disbelief, and even if you manage that, it is not that funny. Not to mention the setting is derivative of a lot of other isekai that have come out lately. The MC is an unrelatable nutjob, his harem (because of course) are totally flat as characters. It's wish-fulfillment for JRPG otakus, which I am not, so...

Oh yes, I've been watching this one and have found it quite interesting, it's one of the few of the winter season stuff that I'm really enjoying.  That and the second season of In/Spectre are my favorite of the season, though the second season is not as good as the first sadly as no thruline early on.  The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady is maybe just under these as the characters are interesting and it's at least a slightly different take on Isekai compared to others.  Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire is interesting but not as good as I was hoping, like it's enjoyable but man the previews made me hope for a little bit something more, like a more bad ass female protagonist that isn't too trope-y.

And Handyman Saitou in another world is kind of my guilty pleasure, it's not reinventing the wheel or anything but it's a nice little story and it's full of some very interesting characters.  So far have been one of those ones I just like to watch on release.  Tomo-chan Is a Girl! probably falls into that same category.  I was expecting a little more from this series but overall I do like the characters and everything, especially the circle of friends.

The animation for that one is quite off in spots, but it's a story & character-driven narrative, so I've stuck around for that.

It's been ages since I poked into this thread.  As of late, I've been keeping up with Tomo-chan is a Girl!, and doing a big rewatch of Maison Ikkoku, one of my favorite romance anime.  The latter is older (from the 1980s) but that's part of its charm to me.  Tomo-chan is part of the whole HS slice of life romance thing that I usually don't gravitate to anymore, but I've found it enjoyable.....especially the support characters Carol and Misuzu.

I also recently as of last night, wrapped up Season 1 of Reincarnated as a Sword.  Fran is so adorable.  Protect that little catgirl.  I loved some of the sword's (Teacher's) lines as well.  Can't wait for the 2nd season, which has already been announced.

I'll elaborate on other things I've watched and enjoyed the last few years at a later time.  I need to catch up on what others are watching here.
