Didn’t Watch: See Seasonal Impressions

Didn’t Watch Because It Never Happened: Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World S2

22. Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level SpellsF
An insult to life itself.

21. Why Does Nobody Remember Me in this World?D-
I already forgot what happened too.

20. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime S3 — Ongoing
How the fuck is it possible to make an anime this boring? How does it keep going???

I’ve seen worse. But absolutely nothing interesting.

18. SHY S2C-
I completely lost both the plot itself and any interest by the end.

So so so average.

A Seasonal Review — Spring 2024

Didn’t Watch: See Seasonal Impressions

29. The Irregular at Magical High School S3F-
Took all the worst parts of the previous seasons and repeated them. I heard the upcoming movie is the “incest ark” though so I’m pumped.

28. A Condition Called LoveD-
RED FLAG RED FLAG DUMP HIS ASS

27. Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat PowersD
Wish the main heroine had actually been evil and eaten humans which is the only reason I watched past the first episode.

26. Mistfit of Demon King Academy S2 Part 2 — Ongoing
Merely being the best at everything was too easy, so now our hero is teaching God (who is actually his little sister) how to do her job . I swear I’m not making this up.

25. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime S3 — Ongoing
I swear this has been another entire season of sitting in fucking meetings. If I wanted to sit in meetings I would just do my job.

24. Unnamed Memory — Ongoing
I’m still confused why / if either person in this couple actually likes the other.

23. Re: MonsterC-
Rote, repetitive trash. I guess I’m fine with that. Continue reading A Seasonal Review — Spring 2024
