The new Gate a follow up to that original show about the JSDF gunning down fantasy races with machine guns and tanks like its Stargste SG1?

As was mentioned, it's basically SAO if it became an isekai. Guy was trapped in a MMO turned real life, beats it to free everyone, then gets tossed into the isekai version of the MMO.

Is bartender a reboot of that bartender anime from 20 years ago? Or just another anime on the same theme?

Try reading some manga!


Clever Betty
Things I'm curious about this season:

Archdemon's Dilemma - the manga is great, if the anime is a quality adaptation then it should deserve a siren later

Kaiju no 8 - I've heard of this but never read it.

Spice and Wolf - heard this is one of those all-timer series but haven't watched it yet.

Sand Land - a series I did not know existed until the trailer for the game appeared. Apparently super short so I'm interested to see what they do with the adaptation.



Also it loving sucks that Re:Monster is getting an adaptation. It was inevitable, but it still sucks

the best parts of kaiju no. 8 were early on. so, the first cour might be real good. then there's the rest of the manga, which exists.

Anyone know anything about this Yatagarasu show? "Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai"/"The Crow Does Not Choose the Lord"? The trailer didn't exactly wow me but I am down for some fantasy politicking. Fantasy anything that isn't an isekai, really.

Bottom middle is the Full Dive guy, which is VR game and not really isekai. And yeah that other guy isn't even a protagonist, the image has zero Kiritos, and the joke has been dead for a while.

There's a truck driver with a vendetta against the guy.

I swear there has to be a detective story out there about a P.I. tracking down a rogue truck driver with no plates who keeps targeting random teenagers while not realizing the isekai reincarnation happening with each kill.

And if there isn't then there should be.

Obviously most people in Japan have black hair, but they don’t all have that exact spiky-bangs hairstyle! A disproportionate number of those characters have purple eyes too.

Also, fair warning about Re:Monster, I read some of it a while ago, figuring it was just a generic isekai. It gets super rapey at one point, with the main character capturing a bunch of elf women, and drugging them to get them to have sex with him. One of the few series I have dropped out of sheer disgust.

Skeleton Knight might not have been good, but at least the rapists and slave traders get cut in half rather than this kind of poo poo.

the beginning is pretty funny, but after it uses up the obvious jokes of osamu dazai as an anime protagonist it becomes a lot more standard isekai.

That's unfortunate, but I'll at least give it a chance. I've got 10 shows of interest this Summer, so if it turns out dull I can drop it and still have plenty to watch.

One thing I am not dropping in the forseeable future is Train to the End of the World. (I still think the more direct translation Where Does the Doomsday Train Go? is a better title for the show.) The start of this story is fascinating to me, the animation and music are first rate, the characters quirky without being over-the-top (so far), and I'm looking forward to how this tale develops.

Dainanaoji (Reincarnated as 7th Prince) ep1

fun OP reincarnation royal road show
Has more budget than expected, i did read the manga adaptation chapters which had pretty bad art. But show seems to give the magic and fighting a much needed push up. Never heard of the studio doing this, looks like a new one. Will continue watching since the manga chapters didn't really get far.

Re;Monster ep1

the most boring isekai cheat is probably 'copy every skill' cheat, its just a way to keep making up scenarios and go 'and so the mc copied this skill last chapter that turned out to be useful and win'. Also, not a fan of the diary style narrative, but the anime could cut a lot of the fat by skipping a lot of the grinding chapters. Already know what happens, so just gonna be about presentation. Which doesn't seem much, gonna give it two more episode.

Gods Game We Play

eh, we really peaked in mini-game challenges anime with No Game, No Life, and that one esper-ish anime title which escapes my head atm. Nothing has come close since. Will give another episode. Since episode 1 was just introductions.

train show opening with pushing the 7g button turning japan into abstract art then cutting to a sun bear talking with a capybara is so insanely my type of vibe i was pretty much in at that point. very promising start.
