Life's a Dream
My reviews of the new season so far. I'll add reviews/brief synopsis of the other shows as I watch them. * means I'll try episode 2+ before making a final decision.
Africa no Salaryman - Nope. Kid's show about a lion person that has a job.
* Ahiru no Sora - Basketball show. Reminds me of Haikyuu!! because it's a short guy trying to do jumping and shit. Ok... I really like it. Stupid sports shows always get me, even though I hate sports IRL.
* Assassins Pride - Assassin and Magic Girls. He was hired to train or kill her, depending on if she's magic or not. Intro was worth a 2nd episode. I'll judge it later.
Azur Lane - Lots of big tittied girls fight in wars against each other. Some are animal girls I guess. Turns out the girls ARE the navy ships, and can convert the ships into smaller personal armor weapons. Neat? Lots of shit going on, but I'm bored.
Babylon - Fully CGI animated. It's a legal show about prosecutors going after criminals. First episode goes from white collar to murder mystery to political thriller. This is probably going to be an interesting show, but not enough to get me to watch it. This feels like a drama on FOX.
* Boku no Hero Academia - Return of the best show.
Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai - Season 2, I didn't watch season 1, so pass.
* Choyoyu - The 7 "best" people from random fields (which also happen to be in High School) are summoned to another world. Inventor, Samurai, Doctor, Entrepreneur, Magician, Journalist, & Politician... Last few really fell off. Show's dumb, but I kind of like it anyway. Will continue watching for a little longer.
* Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy - Kid is a huge Power Rangers nerd, and thinks the new transfer student is the Pink ranger. Really dumb show, but I kinda like it. Will probably watch another episode.
Fate Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia - Long name. Some invincible fighting magic girl. Quality of Animation is good (the action scenes), but I'm not a fan of the base style they went with. It seems very entry level. And why does every fighting girl wear high heels? To be honest, it didn't grab me from the start so I'm not even giving it a chance. There seems to be a lot of blood. Maybe I'll reconsider.
* Granblue Fantasy The Animation - Season 2. I enjoyed season 1, so I'll continue this series. The show isn't the one I pictured when I thought of the name, but that's alright. I still remember it, even if vaguely.
* Gundam Build Divers Re-RISE - My daughter loved Gundam Build Fighters, so I'm letting her watch this.
* Hataage! Kemono Michi - You got it, another isekai show! A pro wrestler, Animal Mask, has been summoned to another world to kill the demon animals that are terrorising people. Unfortunately, he likes animals too much to kill, so he goes after the people that summoned him. Everyone thinks he's a pervert because he's wearing a bikini bottom, but this world has "beast men" and he instantly loves it there. It's pretty funny.
Honzuki no Gekokuiou - Isekai again. This one, a girl dies but wishes to be reborn in another world where she can keep reading books, so... Yeah, I'm done.
* Hoshiai no Sora - Slice of life style show about high school elective clubs and a new transfer student. Beautiful "classic" animation. I like the show, but I can't explain why. I'll try episode 2. The story changed suddenly with the after credits scene.
Houkago Saikoro Club - Group of girls love playing boardgames from around the world. I'm not interested.
Kabukicho Sherlock - Didn't watch. I don't care, there's enough shows already.
Kandagawa Jet Girls - Didn't watch. I don't care, there's enough shows already.
* Mairimashita! Iruma-kun - This is the Demon School show. Similar art style to Hunter x Hunter. IE - childish. It's a silly show, but oddly enjoyable. I'll give it another episode or two.
Mugen no Juunin - Immortal - Didn't watch. I don't care, there's enough shows already.
No Guns Life - Ok, a guy (detective?) has a gun for a head. Neat? Not even going to give this a chance. Premise is way too lame.
Null Peta - 5 minute stupid show. Pass.
Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo - Good concept. 10th grade high school boy is friends with 2 pretty girls. They both ask him out over the weekend, only to both confess that they are in love with his best friend and want his help getting them together. In the mean time, he likes both of them and is extremely jealous. On the other hand, the school librarian girl loves the MC and likes his "darker" side. I like the idea, but have too many shows to watch already, so I'll skip this one.
Rifle is Beautiful - Didn't watch. I don't care, there's enough shows already.
Shin Chuuka Ichiban! - Attempting to be the "new" Shokugeki. It also teaches the viewer a heartwarming lesson. How wonderful. Pass.
* Shinchou Yuusha - This is another "summoned to a new universe" style of Anime. Really feels like this season's "Kono Suba". It's funny. The summoned guy is strong because he'a a very careful game player in another world. After he's summoned, he only wants to focus on leveling up as slowly as possible, and whatever else he can do to boost his stats.
* Shokugeki no Soma - Cooking and sex appeal at its best. This show is one of my favorites.
Stand My Heroes - Piece of Truth - Didn't watch. I don't care, there's enough shows already.
* Sword Art Online - Alicization - War of Underworld - It's SAO, so of course I'll watch it. First 2 seasons were greatness, and while the 3rd is a bit slower, I still enjoy the overall story.
Val x Love - Didn't watch. I don't care, there's enough shows already.
Watashi, Nouryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne! - Yet another Isekai story. This girl wants a completely normal everyday life. This pokes fun at the entire isekai genre. I'm sure the show will be funny, but I already like too many, so I'm going to skip this one.
ZX - Code Reunion - This is another of the "something desasterous happened on earth" kind of shows. Now young girls have to fight for everyone's wellbeing by summoning magic weapons that can defete the aliens in this war between worlds. I so don't care.
Africa no Salaryman - Nope. Kid's show about a lion person that has a job.
* Ahiru no Sora - Basketball show. Reminds me of Haikyuu!! because it's a short guy trying to do jumping and shit. Ok... I really like it. Stupid sports shows always get me, even though I hate sports IRL.
