Is anyone still watching Blue Lock? I think it may be my show of the season, it feels like a combination of Haikyuu and the first arc of Hunter Hunter or something.

Blue Lock is definitely one of the more engaging sports series. It was pretty clever to borrow the structure of a "death game" story, just with soccer instead of death.

wouldn't a death game with soccer instead of death imply some sort of convoluted logic puzzle where the loser then has to go play soccer

I'd imagine the worst fate for a soccer anime isn't death but being relegated to some bottom tier league in England

Soccer offsides are pretty easy for to understand compared to some of the rules that can slow down an NFL game

Now that we're past the halfway point for the season, I'd have to say that Urusei Yatsura is probably the series I look to the most each week. Chainsaw man is also a big favorite for me each week.

Other stuff I'm still watching:
Bocchi the Rock!
Spy x Family
Gundam

Stuff I'm behind on but intend to finish:
DIY
Reincarnated as a Sword

Stuff I've dropped:
Akiba Maid War (Dropped after an EXTREMELY mid second episode off the great first)
Pop Team Epic (I guess I got my fill of it last season and I'm not really feeling it this time though the quality seems fine)

Stuff I'd intended to start but never did:
Uzaki-Chan
Mob Psycho
Arknights
Bleach

Like the entire top 4 there are characters that are already married, will be married by the end of the series, or engaged to be married in some way or another.

if you look at what you can actually vote for, it's actually a fairly small list of predefined options.

want to vote for bleach? well your choices are only ichigo/orihime or ichigo/rukia good luck
