Yeah unless you for some reason enjoy Isekai this is a pretty light season. I'll be catching up on shows from the last few seasons.

There's too many shows to do that now. Maybe a few seasons ago you could have managed it but there's like a ton of shows this season and it isn't feasible to watch every anime while still having a life.

Edit: unless I miscounted there's 47 full length shows which is enough to waste an entire day on anime with breaks for bathroom, snacks, and drinks. Even broken up into more meaningful chunks that's still most of your leisure time during the week if you work a full time job. Do you really want to spend all your time watching anime?

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.

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.

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.

Thank you, that's what I meant. Each kit weighs a few ounces, you'd need a few thousand to do any real damage to a person. I've personally been buried under somebody else's unfinished gunpla collection and the only thing that was hurt was my pride.

Smartphone is lazy writing, magic Amazon can be interesting though. Like having to pay for stuff so you can't just buy your way out of problems (unless you can buy salt, butchers love salt) and having to deal with trying to find exactly what you're looking for (although many writers just cheat that).

It should be noted that some publishing houses are betting that even a mediocre adaptation can hit out big and move books. Hopefully this past year will prove them wrong, but we live in hell so we'll probably be buried in minimum effort LN adaptations for the foreseeable future.

No offense meant to fans of the comic, but does it ever stop being the same handful of jokes about misadventures in elf weight control?

They introduce other characters with their own unique body issues but the main thrust is still about exercise and portion control.

They also add some horny for MC guy jokes with some of the characters.

Fluffy paradise features the most OP three year old I've ever seen in anime, and she basically still has the mind of a child aside from the occasional moment of clarity when she realizes just how over her head she's in. No real adult would be this obsessed with petting animals, she has no fear. She's also not taking her job as arbiter of mankind very seriously, it's almost like the author continually forgets this is an isekai story and their editor is reminding them.

Doctor Doolittle powers are not OP, I'm gonna die on this hill :colbert:

She has better than Doctor Doolittle powers though, she has a pacifying effect on any animal she meets. I mean she hand fed a goddamn tiger and pacified a dragon with head pats. 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.

lol, jrpg gamer girl that only played the otome game because it had a leveling mechanic to it

I liked how in the first episode she was like "I've been sneaking out of the house and hardcore grinding in the nearby dungeon since I was 5" and the other girl is like "ugu I'm only level 1" despite also possessing OP cheat magic. Really gets you into the character's heads.

I'm probably going to drop My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! at some time but I did find it funny that one of the character classes they have in this world is American ninja

Yeah it's not really adding anything to the manga besides a special effect every time the MC kills somebody (which makes it clearer he's using his death ability but is unnecessary) and the guardian spirit is somehow more annoying in motion than in text so I'm probably going to drop it too.

my god, these male harem characters are so dumb lol
lol, Monster Flute calling spam. Love that the one decent guy is the one that gets saved when he tries to protect her like a regular person. Like the part in the opening how all the harem protects the white magic girl, and then with those two, he steps in front, and the MC just nukes everything.

I'll admit I laughed. Especially at the healing magic bit. I guess I have a dark sense of humor. Show continues to deliver, will keep watching and hopefully that light girl will stop being so high strung and judgemental. Nobody likes a bigot, Alicia.

Despite this being the era with CR, HD, D+, and Netflix grabbing every license they can just to keep the other guy from having it, there are shows still so mid that nobody wants to license them. The only way to get around this is to make a great fan community with lots of active members, if the house thinks there's demand for it it'll get licensed.

I'm not saying you should fake this for a show you personally enjoy, but AI tools are out there and with a little editing you can make it look like ten thousand people post on your sgt frog message board or whatever, just hide the IPs or the gig is up.
