What anime are you watching now?

Finished season 1 of the Rurouni Kenshin remake & found it enjoyable enough that I will probably watch the 2nd season (starts in October). Made a bit of progress on “Ippon” Again! (CGDCT + judo). On the seasonal front got caught up on MHA & started The Elusive Samurai (kind of like the overall story, but not really a fan of it’s sense of humor & jarring artistic style it uses at times, so not sure if I’ll stick with it). Favorite seasonals at the moment are Oshi no Ko, Isekai Shikkaku & Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines (though I’m planning to binge Dededede, Yatagarasu & Tower of God).

Finished “Ippon” Again! Going into this I didn’t know much about judo as a sport. After watching this, have to believe a girl who does judo is NOT someone you want to make angry.

Liking the new ED for Makeine as we are now on Komari’s arc 

Catching up on Reincarnated as a Slime & plan to resume Dededede tomorrow as we head into the last month of the summer season of anime.

The Summer season of anime is starting to wind down. Finished Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan today, will finish Ramen Akaneko tomorrow. By the time the weekend is over I intend to finish Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian & Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai.

Looking ahead, I saw the first 3 eps of Dandadan at the movies last weekend & found it entertaining enough to pick it up during the Fall season.

Trying out Giji Harem.  Based purely on the title I was so ready to not like this one and was primed to drop it at the slightest provocation.  But it's actually not bad so far and I'll likely finish it after all.  The OP, "アドリブ", or "Ad-lib" is apropos to the overall theme of the anime, which is about a girl trying to be all things to her crush while hoping/fearing that he'll recognize and reciprocate.  Goofy and shallow, but nevertheless managing to be entertaining.

I recently add this one to my watch list as I thought it looked like being a bit of fun.

I only watched the first ep before setting it aside, despite Saori Hayami being one of my favorite VAs. It wasn’t bad, but as I was already going to watch Alya Sometimes Hides her Feelings in Russian & Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines, already had my quota of high school romantic hijinks. Recently finished Alya & am actually planning to watch season 2 when it comes out. Planning to finish Makeine & Dungeon People over the weekend now the powers back on.

Makeine is on my to-watch list as well but I'll probably skip Alya due to lack of time.  (I actually could probably make the time but I've had a bit of anime-blahs lately so I've shifted more towards games and reading in my free time.)

Alya is on my watch list. From various on-line comments I wasn't going to watch Makine, but I now think it might be a fun series so I've put it at the bottom of my list.

Watched the first episode of Uzumaki yesterday. I’d noted on previous occasions that I’m not actually a fan of Junji Ito, but must admit the visual style of this one (black & white to emulate the manga) really contributes to the atmosphere. It’s only going to be 4 eps long & spooky season is here, so will probably finish it.

Finished The Elusive Samurai last night. Feel like they needed to develop the supporting characters personalities more, the humor didn’t  always work for me & the artwork can alternate between stunning & jarrng. I do like the overall concept though & it was decent.

Will probably focus on catching up on Oshi no Ko 2 next so I can watch the last ep of the season tomorrow.

Finished Spice & Wolf remake recently. Really nice watch and it was nice to hear Holo's voice again after more than ten years. Spice & Wolf 2008 was the first seasonal anime I watched, Holo was my childhood waifu lol xD

Caught up, but apparently the final ep isn’t till this weekend 😅 (helluva way to lead into it with how the next to last one ended. glad we’re back onto the central mystery though).

Tried out a couple fall seasonals

5,000 Year Old Herbivorous Dragon 2 - an anime take on The Reluctant Dragon with the title character’s OP & over-enthusiastic self-appointed “disciple” being the source of many of his problems. I enjoyed Season 1 which was largely comedic with some heartwarming moments as well. The first two 1/2 length episodes match that, but the new OP suggests some darker story elements to come.

Acro Trip - watched the first 2 eps of this as well. Intended as a parody of the magical girl genre, but I found it pretty boring & not funny. Doubtful I ‘ll stick with it.

And ReZero 3 premiered, but I plan on binging it, or at least wait until several episodes are available.
