I had a long reply written out, but then it got erased. 😓

I can’t think of anything else it reminds me of, since we haven’t really gotten to the actual plot yet. It’s say watch episode 9, and see if you like that. It gives a sense of the silliness and seriousness we’ve seen so far without killing any previous set up jokes or finishing a fight, but it does have jokes and fights. If you like that episode, start from the beginning and give it a bit to get up to speed.

If you watched Gintama, I know you have the patience to give a show time to figure out what direction it’s going to go.

Helck had been fun for me. Went in blind, and at first thought it was too goofy and random, but the world grew on me once we started to learn about the actual antagonists. Huge fan of Piwi.

Zom 100 I also went into blind. It has really connected with me as in going through a bunch of negative life changes right now, so it’s helping me keep focus on doing things that make me happy. Plus the show is really good!.

Devil is a Part Timer I’m not fully caught up on, but the latest part has been much better than the previous one.

I plan to check out Murder Farce and Link Click at some point too.

Zom has been such a huge hit for me. I have been taking it kinda personal. I’m losing my job at the end of the month, and after 3 years of working from home and having so much if my life back under my control, the thought of even 3 days in office, let alone 5, is crushing me on to of all the other bad news I’ve been getting lately. I really feel for what the MC is going through.

I had watched S1 of JJK, and I read a decent bit ahead in the manga, but MHA and CSM gave me what I liked from JJK and did it better, so I dropped it completely.

Just checked out the trailer for Murder Farce since some others mentioned that too. That looks pretty interesting to say the least. This thread has gotten me so many new things to watch

Yes, the color effects instead of outright gore I think are more dramatic. My brain is expecting the red, but the bright bold colors add a bit of surprise to the moment. It’s a very creative show and has been a positive surprise for me when I want exciting much from many shows this season.

Dang, there’s only 2 on that list that I’ve watched and actually stuck with.

Aww, I tried to keep it really vague in case anyone hadn’t seen it. Most of what I said is set up in the first episode though. This show doesn’t hold back in the savage parts though, even though so far it’s mainly about him trying to have fun. There is a good bit of stuff you probably haven’t seen before to look forward to!

Zom 100 is such a unique zombie show. He stays so positive in spite of everything. The show is both brutal and funny from the beginning, and there are a lot of moments I haven’t seen before in other zombie shows and movies.

(Edited to remove ep 1 spoilers)

Ooo I haven’t thought about Escaflowne in forever! Some of those noses remind me of Queen Hilling from Ranking of Kings.

I forgot about Shimoneta completely. I do remember watching the first episode or 2, but I never ended up going back to it.

I just actually read that Helck thread. It seems I haven’t been seeing them because I have bots blocked. I’m torn turning it off, but there’s so many posts with no talking.

I had expected Helck to be like I Quit Heroing, but it started more like the arena scene from Thor: Ragnarok. Even the fights so far have been relatively comedic with things like the shield guy that needs constant snacks and people calling Vermilion cutesy things and she gets all mad. The last episodes finally started hinting at dark things though. I’d like the plot to get deeper, but I really like a lot of the fun interactions. I also love Piwi, especially when he plays dumb like he was a regular bird.

The reactions to the spiders and wolves are one of my favorite gags in Farming Life. I like when the spider just waves hello to the people cowering in fear and then she just goes off and eats potatoes. The drunken slime is also fun. I’d party with that guy.

I read a bit of the wiki and it seems MC just guess around knocking everyone up, so I’m torn continuing watching the show. I like all the girls and animals, MC is just so bland though. He doesn’t have any struggles. He doesn’t seem to care much for anyone in particular. He didn’t even sweat fighting any monsters so far. If they ditched him and just had fantasy Yuru Camp in the forest, I think I’d prefer that.

Thanks! I’ll check out the new one, and then if I like it I know there’s more.

That’s a lot of plot lines to keep track of, impressive!

Which one or 2 are your favorites?

Thank you!

I’ll have to check out Link Click this weekend, you’re the second person to mention it.

Is Forgot Her Glasses similar to anything else? MAL reviews look very split in this one.

Dang, another I’ve been meaning to check out. Looks like it’s from the Ranma 1/2 people. I didn’t know there was a new one. Did you like the new it is one better?

To-love Ru I watched this year after all the Gintama references to it.

I didn’t know the HxH guy was the YYH guy. I’ll have to watch YYH all the way through sometime then. I caught pieces on Cartoon Network in the day, but never saw it all the way through.

Spy Family has been a lot of fun, though it’s gotten kinda serious at the present point of the manga. If you read manga, Sakamoto Days has a similar but slightly more serious feel.

BSD had been on my watch list for a while, but still haven’t gotten to it.

Link Click sounds very much like something I’d like. Thank you!

Oh this looks really interesting. Kinda similar weird mismatched romance like in Magus Bride. This one is going on my watch list, thanks!

Ooo one hour blocks is good. We like to watch something more special during Sunday breakfast so that might be a good way to break it up.

Oh yeah, also just finished Farming Life in Another World. More light fanservice than any actual farming, but I loved the spider! I didn’t find any of the harem annoying and there wasn’t anything outright pervy, so it was fine. It does bother me a bit how emotionally unattached the MC is, especially to his kid.

Also watching Helck, which I went into blind. So far, nothing at all like I expected. Very silly in a good way. The demons are the good guys and the humans bad. Lots of cool powers, and some really cute side characters. In the midst recent episode, some dark things were hinted at, so we will see some serious moments ahead. Really fun so far though, and I look forward to it each week.

I keep hearing so much good stuff about this. I watched the trailer and it looked better than I would have thought, except like you said, the powers look a bit odd.

Read a NYT interview with Oda rm the other day and it seems like he had a lot of say in it. I’m sure that makes a big difference. I’ll have to check it out, but I’m already reading the manga and watching the anime, so I don’t want to just One Piece 24/7!
