New seasons for Konosuba and Dorohedoro. Now I just need an announcement for Houseki no Kuni for my own personal hat-trick.

No matter how intelligent those animals are they see humans as annoyances at best and food at worst but they roll over and play nice doggie for the little girl.

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! episode 1: seems to have a lot in common with the Otome Villainess genre in that the protag starts out engaged to the prince but is publicly denounced because a rival spread lies about her, so she loses everything and goes on the run. The hook here is that every time she dies she travels back in time to the exact moment that the prince breaks off their engagement and gets to start over again, and so far she's lived 6 different lives where she's had various careers which have given her a wide range of advanced skills. They rush through this at breakneck speed, they briefly show moments from her first two lives but every time she dies it goes to a black screen with the voiceover "..... but then war broke out and I was killed" with no other detail, and lives 3 to 6 are barely even shown at all. At the start of her 7th do-over things turn out exceedingly differently and she accidentally impresses the man who usually ends up becoming the Emperor who starts the war which inevitably kills her, and he suddenly proposes to her ... It doesn't really break any new ground but it's not bad, if you're a fan of otome/princess animes you might enjoy it. Solo Leveling episode 1: has a similar premise to Gate in that dimensional portals to a magical realm open up across Japan and fantasy monsters pour out and start killing people, so the portals are blocked off and teams are sent in to kill monsters and bring back resources. The twist here is that the monsters are completely impervious to modern weapons so 'hunters' have to go into the fantasy world to find magical weapons, and a few lucky people find they have an aptitude for magic and can use new powers. The protagonist is the weakest of all the hunters and frequently gets injured in even the easiest of missions, but he has to support his family so he keeps giving his best. However, when he joins a team for what should be an easy dungeon adventure they discover something unprecedented and things take a turn for the worse .... The premise here feels pretty forced (bullets don't work on monsters so the army was powerless to fight goblins, wtf) and even though it's supposedly set half in the real world they use a lot of RPG cliches (tier levels, guilds, boss fights, character classes, etc etc) Chained Soldier episode 1: another series where portals open up across Japan and monsters flood out and kill people, so fighters with special powers have to cross over to kill monsters and save people who get trapped in the other realm. The twist here is that only women can gain these powers so men have pretty much become second class citizens and have to perform all the menial services in society. When meek schoolboy Yuuki gets trapped in the other world he's saved by the chief of the Seventh Unit of the Anti-Demon Corps and when they get surrounded by monsters she decides to try her special power of "enslave monster" on him in desperation. She binds him and he hulks out and turns into a monster-slaying beast who follows her every command, but when the dust settles it turns out that the downside of her power is that she is compelled to 'reward' her slave for his efforts and in his case that means she has to smooch him a lot. The tone reminds me a lot of Vermeil in Gold, with the roles somewhat flipped

Watched Villainess Level 99. I liked it! The story isn't anything groundbreaking, and it's obviously a cheap production, but it's generally a solid adaptation of what I like from the manga. A real comfort food sort of show. (Anime spoiler) I appreciated the commitment to the initial fake-out, although they could have gone harder on the twist reveal.

Don't expect Solo Leveling to do anything fun or interesting with said premise, it's about as rote of a selfish power fantasy story as you can get, with boring-to-bad characterization and a pretty empty plot with boring world-building. Its only really redeeming feature in the manhwa is that the art was really pretty, I haven't checked out the anime, but I'm guessing they didn't have the budget to go ham on that angle.

They apparently had a double-length premiere but as part of the season have only aired the first episode, which doesn't even get to the hook of the MC's power. The visuals are polished and will probably be the selling point just like you're saying with the manhwa.

"Solo Leveling" sucks as a name too because it evokes mindless grinding of lovely fetch or kill quests in mmos. Exactly what I want out of an anime.

Solo Leveling 1 did actually look pretty good, but we haven't reached the real action yet.

Yeah i was really wondering why the fuq they ended the premiere there. It's fine, I guess. It's low on the list for this season but when Fluffy Paradise is ahead I gotta feeling it might get dropped.

solo leveling's first act (the first 20 or so chapters) is insanely good, but it devolves into a generic action manwha after that

Hokkaido Gals is definitely a horny show, but it was enjoyable watching a guy be a complete oddball about interactions and working his way through normal events he blew out of proportion. Also I did my first “I know that my from my time in Hokkaido” with Seicomart. Looking forward to more.

Regarding that spoiler: the shonky streaming service I was using sometimes fucks up their listings and uploads some random show instead of what you were expecting so I was genuinely unsure I was watching the right show at the start

KOGAHAZAN!! posted:That's a common line with Solo Levelling, but even that I always felt was kind of well-rendered but characterless. Yeah, most of the fighting ends up being 'MC makes the bigger, stronger energy blast than whoever they're fighting' and there's really nothing going on with the art that helps any of the character work, but it does have fun doing big, detailed spreads and I remember the landscape work being good. I finished the series mostly on the momentum of wanting to see what bullshit the author's gonna try and fail to sell me on next. The early chapters do a decent job of tricking you into thinking it might be doing something a little bit interesting at a couple of points, but don't worry, the story doesn't care about any of that, it only cares about how cool and powerful the MC is compared to anyone in a scene with him.

So Bang Brave Bang Bravern is tomorrow, right? Still curious if that one is gonna go for a hard sci-fi real robot vibe or if Obari's madness is going to seep in and send the show off the rails. Kinda hoping for the latter.
