Deca-Dence is alright. Hrrm, I'm still not sure if there's still something missing or if I'm just not that into it, despite it being undisputably quality.

And aside from that and Fire Force, not watchin much of anything else new. Funnily enuff, the most consistent and fun ongoing series I've been following for awhile now has been pokemon. Oh, and Japan Sinks was great, don't sleep on it.

Almost finished and Japan Sinks is pretty grim, definitely darker than Eizouken.

Misfit demon Lord has been surprisingly wholesome. I thought it was going to be a power fantasy of a long dead demon Lord coming back to show the decadent descendants what's what. And while it certainly has that it's been almost entirely focused on the demon lord making friends and patching up a sibling relationship.

I can't tell if Misfit of Demon King Academy supposed to be serious or a parody or both at the same time.

the man's name is 'anus voldemort' and there's zero effort to attempt to establish stakes or buy-in. the problem is the stuff it's parodying is so reliant on parodying itself and winking at the audience that the only way past is to take everything to the extreme and play it totally straight. hard to say if there's a payoff tho

Having seen the first two episodes of Monster Girl Doctor, I can't help but feel a bit of disappointment so far. The show feels like it is occupying an unsatisfying middle ground. It isn't quite lewd enough to be a good ecchi, but it also isn't serious or well produced enough to transcend being a monster girl fetish show. The lewd bits that it does have feel a bit silly, like the centaur girl moaning during her hoof shaving. I just imagine somebody moaning while clipping their fingernails now, as the situation seems similar.

I wish the show would chose between ecchi and serious, rather than trying to straddle the line. Everyday Life of Monster Girls at least felt like it knew exactly what it was, shamelessly on the ecchi side.

I laughed at the owls sending letters to get into Evil Hogwarts.

It'll probably follow the same arc as Overcautious Hero and we'll get some Earth Shattering Revelations down the line about, uhhh, maybe Monster Eyes girl is also a Doll and the other Doll is 1/2 of her spirit and Skeleton Monster Lord is the Hero who decided he should just control the 4 realms or whatever.

I actually read a couple chapters of the manga a long time ago and going back to them it seems a bit clearer that it leans closer to being a parody because the MC's inner voice is constantly frustrated with how everyone remembers things wrong after 2000 years. And as a historian with a fascination with ancient Rome that's a pretty good hook.

Also I watched the first episode of Rent-a-Girlfriend and it left me in stitches. I hope there's a lot more of the grandmas.

by forming bonds with animals that they take in as familiars, witches are able to channel their powers

before the first anime, the series actually had familiars as animals that would be separate from the girls when not using their powers. curiously, they're actually bringing this concept back for next year's Idol Witches anime.

Did loving Strike Witches somehow become more than gross softporn poo poo for cringy weeks at some point?

Because, uh, 3/4 of the night-crew watching it at AX were roasting the gently caress out of it and the other 1/4 were either completely confused or sketch as gently caress.

This show knows exactly what it is and isn't ashamed one iota, which I respect. It helps that Uzaki is hilarious and Sakurai is good as a straight man to the silliness.

I didn't really feel the first episode but the second is great and this gif is my favorite thing.

It seems a tad hypocritical to post like this and then have your season list be almost entirely ecchi

strike witches asks you to accept a setting where the main girls don't wear pants, as opposed to if they wore swimsuits. the meta reasoning is fetishistic, but in-universe it's treated as the most normal thing in the world.

it's a thirsty but not primarily horny show. compare to something like keijo or harukana receive which feature girls in swimsuits and are somewhat about butts, with endearing character writing at the forefront. they're still story-driven with relationships and personal struggles.

The Overton Window of ecchi (the Ecchiton Window, if you will) has moved far enough that this doesn't seem as bad as it once did.

It's kind of a shame how shameless SW is, TBH, 'cause the concept of fighter-engine-wearing teen witches blowing up invading aliens in fantasy WWII is pretty cool.
