From what people tell me that read the Manga, s1 is really slow and it's full throttle from here on out.

Season 1 is the introduction. At episode 8 you get a taste of how things will go and things just keep getting more batshit from there on out.

If anyone slept on S1 of Apothecary Diaries, now would be a good time to dive in. S2 starts 1/10. Exceptional art, historical fiction part romcom part crime drama.

It's one of those shows that somehow flew past my radar. I started today with my anime-loving daughter, and we're about to start the 5th episode. So far so good.

Wow, we've been crushing it. Normally 8 can never watch more than 2-3 episodes a day at the worst. Guess I've had nothing to do today. We're currently on episode 14.

I watched my first new show of the season today. It's called Baheneko. It's about this Knight that dies and is reincarnated as an S-Rank Behemoth kitten and becomes the pet of a hot big titted elf adventurer. For some reason there's a fucked up tranny that runs the adventurer's guild thing. He's a butch dude that wears lipstick and has heart suspenders covering his nipples. Then a little later on, the elf chick takes a bath with the kitten monster, and you see nipples there. I don't hate the dungeon sequences (kinda reminds me of Slime), but the rest is trash.

Yeah, that one will be 100% cheesecake and fan service. It's a fun manga, but it went off the rails with harem and power ups a while ago.

I've watched all the new shows so far, and it's a mix. Some are decent enough, but set for children, so I won't watch them. Some are terrible. Others are very entertaining.
Saturday:
Baheneko - Elf & Behemoth - Silly enough show, but I enjoyed it. And there's fan service in the form of big elf titties.
Monday:
Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi (Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four) - Guy summoned to isekai world to be a general in the demon army. He complains that he's not qualified, and the demon lord says he's looked into all of his previous work history, and thinks he would be a great fit to his army. Silly enough show, but I liked the first simple episode. May not be a keeper, though.
Tuesday:
Fate Strange Fake - Saber's now a dude. It's part of the Fate series, and the animation is good. I liked the initial episode, and can't wait to see where it goes.
Kinomi Master - Eat a fruit and gain a skill. Thus your life is determined. MC can grow fruit, his childhood friend becomes the sword saint. Mysteriously, his fruit skill makes him immune to poisons, so he's able to eat additional skill fruits. He's now a sword god. This is some elementary school type shit.
Wednesday:
Izure Saikyou no Renkinjutsushi - Guy accidently summoned to isekai world while the intended targets were also summoned. He's an outcast because of it. Magically his abilities make him OP at everything. It's childish, but it didn't bother me, so I'll give it another episode or two.
Grisaia - Phantom Trigger - Better quality animation than the last few shows, but I'm not giving it a try unless others say they like it.
Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte - Doctor Detective... I don't know. Animation seems nice, but the name has me uninterested. She appears to be an animated version of House and just knows everything for reasons. Pass.
Thursday:
BanG Dream! Ave Mujica - Some girl based metal band that does masquerade concerts. This is not baby metal. They wear masks, and one of the girls is already tired of wearing them and wants to announce their identities to the world. I can't seem to care about this show.
Momentary Lily - Some group of girls. It seems to be real life, but then it seems like they're playing a VR game or some shit. They're using gaming terms when dealing with some monster in person, but that's why I think it's VR. Ok, it seems to actually be real life, but they're using gaming terms anyway. Very computer based animation. It looks like normal animation, but it's 100% computer. Way too much movement in every second of the show. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I'm undecided as of right now.
