So... I never was really into Anime, I mean I watched Dragon Ball/Tenchi Muyo when I was younger on Toonami and I watched Death Note when it came to Netflix. I never could get into shit like Onepunch Man or Attack on Titan or anything else my weeaboo friends would recommend. The most obscure thing I could say I watched was Berserk only because I played the Dreamcast game.

I was pulling an all nighter and was scrolling through Youtube to find something to listen too/watch and I came across something called Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and 14 Episodes later I'm hooked.

The shit is just...cute for the sake of being cute and It's just fucking adorable. Anyways I'm totally hooked on this show I even bought the books for the first time in my life. They came backwards even though they are in english.

I don't know if I should recommend it or not because I think it may be some Japanese brainwashing because I would of never ever went to Etsy to look for Tohru merchandise.

So anyways I guess i'm a weeaboo now and I should fit myself for a Fedora and body pillow.

If you like shows like that, there are quality shows in that genre every season. You have dozens to catch up on.

I recommend Isekai Shokudou if you want something from this season.

If you don't mind stuff from previous seasons, Hataraku Maou-sama, Flying Witch, New Game, and even Kono Suba would be up your alley.

Also drop everything and watch the best anime of all time, Shokugeki no Soma, because there's a new season coming out next week.

No problem there. Dragon Maid was actually a pretty good show. The one girl eating the insects and shit was definitely adorable. I don't agree with Chys' choice of Isekai Shokudou, though. I saw the first episode, and that shit was god awful. Large head / small body CGI does nothing for me. You "might" like Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. It's a feels roller-coaster type of show, as opposed to adorable. The main character plays piano well, and the cute blonde chick plays the violin. They pair nicely for this series.

Oh whoops, I suck. I actually do like Isekai Shokudou. For some reason I read that as Ikemen Sengoku. And that show is an abomination.

Definitely recommend Flying Witch in the cute category.
There are a lot of shows in the "cute girls doing cute things" genre.

Edit : Almost forgot : you have to add Non Non Biyori to your list.

Man, now I'm gonna have to watch Flying Witch again. As soon as the OP starts, I just start grinning like a moron. Chito = best pet.

Made is Abyss is what happens when you cross the fucked up/weird parts of Evangelion and Miyazaki films

A lot of those have second/third seasons. If I had to pick 5 to watch (this is assuming you haven't already seen them) I'd go with Cowboy Bebop, FMA:B, GITS:SAC, Black Lagoon, and Death Parade.

Ordinal Scale story and player interaction is just kinda infuriating.

The finale to some of the shows this season have been good. I liked the Elite Classroom one. That guy is ruthless.

Yeah I was considering dropping that one about halfway through but glad I stuck with it. Was entertaining and I def want to see more seasons of it.

And they implied that he paid money to join Classroom D, instead of being in A by default. Interesting.

Damn, I was not ready for that Mitty/Nanachi backstory in the Made in Abyss finale. Hope this does get picked up for a second season.

Wow, the finale of Made in Abyss was pretty deep. No pun intended. It was a very quality end to the season. Like Derkon says, I hope it has a season 2 in its future. I actually liked the floating balloon segment. Very well done. Watch until the very end.

Nananchi's backstory didn't have much chance of being cheerful and uplifting did it ?
Finding out Nanachi was a murder-muppet serial killer didn't seem to phase Reg much ;p

I was actually a bit surprised to see Bondrewd still alive - the number of graves in Nanachi's backyard suggest they've been there a very long time. Though, I guess the white whistles have probably undergone similar transformations for the same reason - it would explain a lot about Ozen.

That as a great ending to the series. I'd nominate Made in Abyss for best of the season personally.

Indeed, I hope they make a second season, it seems they have enough material for it.
