Hiroko Utsumi has directed multiple other shows outside KyoAni that you could already watch and make whatever this strange-sounding judgement is. SK8 was even an original series rather than an adaptation.

I might check out Bucchigiri now SK8 kicks rear end.

It's still accurate if you consider announcement to be a hard date and not a we're working on it guys we swear. I for one am willing to be cautiously optimistic, remember other shows have gotten season 2 announcements only to be indefinitely delayed due to production difficulties.

Solo Leveling in particular will live and die by its fight scenes because its story is honestly just bad. I say this to everyone, but it's a weird story that feels less than the sum of its parts; the individual arcs are kinda fun but when you put them together they make no sense. I honestly don't understand the rabid following the original manhwa had. The art was fantastic but the story was derivative, the character were forgettable (if not by you then certainly by the plot) and more than a few plot hooks were just forgotten.

It's a shame the Returner's Magic adaptation was crap because that manhwa was actually pretty fun and the cast quickly grows on you.

Solo leveling is really bad, but it seems like most Manwha are just ripping off it and its dumb cliches at this point. The writing is just so lazy and thoughtless.

Already reading on a few confirmed casualties in Japan. Just hoping the people there are okay overall.

In other news, the first episode of "Fluffy Paradise" has dropped. It's nice and sweet and cute and I'll keep watching because Bob knows it looks to be one hell of a clusterfuck of a year coming and I could use the relief.

We've been getting snow intermittently and it doesn't stick more than one or two days.

I saw that one show from this season (maybe more - I just noticed this one) aired a premiere today and I can report that Fluffy Paradise begins exactly as you'd expect, and if a child petting a tiger sounds fun to watch then it's not terrible. I assume some over-serious exposition of the grand plot (through adventure? Politicking? Weirdly placed shonen power battles?) will occur, but so long as it's got a cure child petting a cute tiger and it doesn't get weird, it's slotting solidly into the category of popcorn I'll watch if there's not a ton of competition this season.

We need a Knife-kun vs Overwork-kun vs Truck-kun three way over-under bet each season for isekai origin stories.

Yeah they've dropped some heavy hints that there's going to be an underclass of extremely oppressed/persecuted animal people and the entire conceit of the show is that a god sent her to this world to judge whether the humans need to be wiped out for the horrible poo poo they've been doing so we can kind've guess where this is headed

Fluffy Paradise ep1 was pretty alrite for the first episode. Might be under 'first anime watching of the season' lens. But I give it a few episodes.

Tier of Isekai methods:

1) Truck-kun
2) Overwork-kun
3) Knife-kun
4) Just going to sleep after gaming-kun

There’s also “VR machine induced coma” as seen in SAO (though that could probably fall under the fourth category), and older ones like “falling down a well and getting sent to the past” (Inuyasha)

The other methods at least offer a chance at inflection and growth for a character. I feel like "gamer wakes up as their overpowered character" doesnt really have that option.

It's a trash isekai but it's a comfy, slightly above average trash isekai which I know isn't saying much. At the very least the character's super isekai magical ability is not crazy powerful, non-humans really like her and that's it. No god tier mana levels or anything.

There's one where a chef is killed when his giant cake falls on him.

I prefer no deaths for my isekai but I'll take ironic ones if I have to. Truck-kun and knife-chan are lazy excuses used by hacks. Not that many people are run over or stabbed in Japan but if you went by isekai media they're the leading cause of death in Japan.

I havent seen the cake isekai, nor will i most likely, but I always got the impression that that was basically just ascendence of a bookworm but with baking instead of books, right down to the mentioned ironic death isekai-ing

I feel like as cool as cakes are they're a much less interesting thing to promote in a fantasy world compared to books and literacy. Sooo im not surprised that one didn't take off as much as bookworm. still, i'm all for more isekai protagonists getting buried by an avalanche of their personal obsession

The Knights and Magic guy got hit by a car after buying a new gunpla iirc, I guess even the author realized that buried under a mountain of injection molded plastic wasn't realistic.

There are plenty of people who own enough backlog to bury them but I'm not sure they're dense enough to kill.
