I decided to try Demon Slayer and it hasn't impressed me so far. The story just doesn't engage me in any way. My friends tell me it gets good around episode 10, so I'm going to continue giving it a chance. If I still don't like the series very much I'll just drop it.

Today I finished watching Sing "Yesterday" For Me which is quite a good little Slice of Life series. The story revolves around four main characters, two guys and two girls who have a slightly complicated relationship with each other, the two guys want the same girl, while both the girls want the same guy, it's a sort double love triangle which leads to some awkward moments for all of them. 

Ultimately the story is about one of the guys and one of the girls trying to decide between which relationship they think they want and the one they really want. The story is well told and I enjoyed watching it but I felt that the ending was a bit rushed.

Dead Mount Death Play only 2 episodes in but so far a step ahead of the usual isekai as it’s a necromancer from a fantasy world who gets reincarnated into ours & tries to assimilate into the fringe  society of “fixers”. Seems like it will have some similarities to Chainsaw Man.

A lot of people were disappointed that it didn’t take itself more seriously & had more humor/slice of life content than they expected. Overall I enjoyed the first cour but felt like it went downhill after the 2nd cour’s opening arc.

Just learned that this is by the same author as Baccano & Durarara. Makes sense since they also have oddball characters who operate on the other side of the law (information brokers, couriers, fixers, etc.) with some supernatural elements thrown in. He’s also apparently involved in the upcoming Fate Strange/Fake.

Also, I finished Nagatoro 2 over this past weekend, and I have to say, I enjoyed the show for the most part throughout, but I'm highly dissatisfied with how they ended that season. Just felt like Naoto and Nagatoro would have been further along in their relationship by then. I 'unno...

If Miss Nagatoro doesn't end with those two becoming a couple, I am sending Nanashi a strongly worded letter

In the four months since I took out a subscription to CR I've been able to watch a huge amount of anime series that I would not otherwise have seen and working on the principle that some series are worth more than a single viewing I've decided to do some re-watching.

First up is Higehiro,  I know that this series has been the subject of some controversy mainly due to its basic premise of a 27 year old guy taking in a 16 year old runaway high school girl and letting her live with him.

I wonder if the real problem some people have with this series is that the author, Shimesaba, has crafted a story that is too real and too close to home for them to cope with. In this world there are many teenagers who, like Sayu, have been unable to cope with the situations they find themselves in and have run away from home. Some of them will have taken Sayu's way to survive and sold themselves in exchange for a roof over their head and possibly food on their plate.

I suggest that a better way of looking at this series is to see it as the story of a 16 year old runaway who meets a 27 year old guy who is prepared to offer her a safe and secure place where she can stay and who helps her to gain the courage she needs to return to her home and face the problems she ran away from, all for nothing more than a bit of cooking and housework. Looking at it from that angle I think Higehiro is a really good series.

btw i haven't watched it but i heard a lot of good things from people on this forum about magic knight rayheart. it's a 90's isekai anime if i remember well

I think you may mean Magic Knight Rayearth.

It's a good series with lots of action and some great background music.  There's two series and both are enjoyable, series 2 follows on from series 1 and has a slightly more serious storyline.

I have seen 10 out of your 12 suggestionjs, but not this one. Will start tonight. Thank you very much

I just gave Mashle the 3-ep test.  Not my thing and I'll probably be dropping it but if Saitama at Hogwarts sounds like fun then you might want to give it a try.

They used to have a single season on crunchy.  I think it was season 3 or 4.  Now here in the US I just get a message that even that is “not available in your location”.

I've now finished re-watching Akebi's Sailor Uniform which is a wonderful little series, brilliantly told and with beautiful artwork and animation. The adventures of Komichi Akebi as she starts at her new school wearing her sailor uniform and makes new friends will bring a smile to your face and brighten up your day. This definitely an underrated and underappreciated series.

My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 has taken the lead as my favorite non-sequel/non-spinoff series of the season, followed by Oshi no Ko

As far as sequels/spinoffs it’s a closer call, but probably still Ancient Magus Bride 2

Not really “good”, but manages to make me laugh and the OP is a bop, so bit of a guilty pleasure I guess  At least not as cringe as KamiKatsu & My One-Hit Kill Sister (both dropped)

Yeah, I set that aside after one ep. Might revisit it later, but doubt it.

I saw that one advertised on Crunchy's front page and thought it looked interesting, so I might add it to my list and give it a try.

Since my last posting I've done a bit of research, and I think you might be correct.
