What anime are you watching now?

In addition to the currently airing stuff I watch weekly, I’m going to try to finally cross Puella Magica Madoka off my PTW list since there’s a new series coming in January. Also need to catch-up/finish Vinland Saga and Carole & Tuesday before the end of the year.

Not exactly watching *now* but over the holiday weekend I binged Kami-Nai and Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo.  Both were rewatches.  Both still decent.  Really like the OP for The Third.

Oresuki.

Is it just me or do the flowers in Pansy's braids look a bit like skull-and-crossbones?  :D

 This one isn't going to turn out like School Days, is it?  😮

Just finished season 2  of Takagi-san. Still pretty episodic but an improvement over last season. And while the payoff was slight, it still brought on the feels 😊 6.5/10

Next title off the backlog pile: Carole & Tuesday.

Started Dr. Stone.  Going to run thru the first season, then wait.  I was going to wait for the end like I usually do but I couldn't resist the lure of an anime with a tech tree.  :)

Finished the 1st cour of Carole & Tuesday. Despite being predictable, I found it to be surprisingly enjoyable especially since I’m not actually a fan of idol dramas. Now I just need to watch the 2nd cour before the new season’s shows start.

Started watching the rebroadcast/edit of Re:ZERO and think I’m going to enjoy it. The interactions between Subaru & Kazuma in Isekai Quartet already seem funnier after seeing how similar they really are. Though Subaru seems like a genuinely nice guy & Kazuma ... not so much 😂 And Puck is already one of my favorite mascot characters

 

punking Subaru by being his lap pillow made me lol 

🤣 


Have to say the shift in tone was pretty jarring though even with the foreshadowing of the opening scene. Like on the same level as Higurashi.

Only up to the equivalent of episode 2 of season 1, but already seems like it will be a wild ride.

Edit: apparently the 1st episode was double length to begin with. Future episodes are supposed to be 2 at a time so they can finish before season 2 starts in April

Watched a number of premieres over the last couple days. 
Somali & the Forest Spirit - definitely getting a Miyazaki vibe from this series (Spirited Away in particular).  The concept & visual style really stand out, but the feelz felt a bit off target for me (similar to A Centaur’s Life). Still, with as much potential as it has, will give it 6 episodes at minimum.

Darwin’s Game - another game with life or death consequences series. I wasn’t impressed by the trailers/PVs & the first ep did nothing to change that. More than anything seems like an excuse for excessively bloody violence & some fanservice thrown in at the end. Since this was a double length episode, think I’ve seen enough to decide it’s not for me.

Asteroid in Love - cute girls learning about astronomy (and apparently geology later on). The brightness of art style really emphasizes the cuteness of the chatacters & the beauty of the constellations. Wasn’t expecting a twist to be thrown in this early in the series and apparently all the central characters have been introduced right off the bat so not exactly following the usual CGDCT formula. Not expecting a great deal of depth, but at least some educational value. Probably a keeper.

Watched the first 2 episodes ID: Invaded. A futuristic police/mystery series with virtual environments figuring prominently in the investigations (haven’t seen any of Psycho Pass so not sure how they compare). Have barely scratched the surface of the characters personalities and backstories, but I see some interesting potential. I was particularly impressed by rookie girl

not being intimidated by the serial killer & risking her life to help apprehend him. Hopefully she survives her injuries and plays more if a role later

Also interesting is the possibility of a central figure “creating” serial killers. The amount of technical jargon as a bit offputting though. Thinking this one may be more suited to binging than watching weekly.

Just caught up with Black Clover. It actually gets really decent from episode 100 onwards 😂 

I'll just take your word for it.  I barely made it to double-digits.  I'm *not* going to wade through 80+ more episodes of that to get to the "decent" ones!  🙉
