Completed
Sasaki and Miyano – A sweet and funny romance with a fun cast of supporting characters. Easily my AOTS. 9/10
My Dress-Up Darling – A really fun romcom with two great main characters that occasionally included tasteless fanservice. 8/10
Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout – Still surprised that a gender-bender about two guys getting isekaied and one getting turned into a cute girl not only wasn’t a dumpster fire, it was genuinely funny and heartwarming. 8/10
The Case Study of Vanitas – Hot vampires doing hot things, part two. 8/10
86 Eighty-Six – Frederica ruins every scene she’s in, but the mecha battle animation and sound design mixed with the Sawano soundtrack got the blood pumping. 8/10
Sabikui Bisco – Fun, inventive world-building, a fabulous soundtrack, and some great queer subtext, but the fights in the middle weren’t very well written. 7/10
Ranking of Kings – I had this ranked as one of my favorites until the last two episodes made a few decisions I really didn’t like. Fantastic production for sure though. 7/10
Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc – Story is starting to wear on me, but you really can’t beat this show for flashy animated spectacle. 7/10
Teasing Master Takagi-san S3 – Despite their schtick starting to wear a little thin, seeing their relationship progress a bit is pretty darn cute. 7/10
Salaryman’s Club – It’s not really doing anything other sports anime haven’t done, but the sound design is fantastic and you really can’t go wrong with a cast of working adults old enough to drink. 7/10
Slow Loop – A nice, relaxing story about a group of girls bonding over fishing. 7/10
Princess Connect! Re:Dive S2 – An absolute spectacle of color and animation with a much more coherent story than season 1, but still not a particularly focused story. 7/10
Love of Kill – Though this was not the dangerous romantic thriller I thought it was gonna be, I still enjoyed watching the mystery unfold. 7/10
The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt – A fantasy story about a clever crown prince and his various schemes that just didn’t wow me. 6/10
Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department – A really uneven show that had some genuinely funny episodes early in the season, and then went off a cliff and forgot how to write jokes. 6/10
In the Land of Leadale – An isekai about a woman reincarnated as a super OP character in her favorite game that was just aggressively mediocre and a little pointless. 6/10
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom – Literally the worst anime series I’ve completed. The anime equivalent of a college Republican in a bow-tie. 3/10
On Hold/Dropped
She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man – On hold, ep.5. – The story doesn’t make much sense and the visuals are hot garbage. I might finish it later.
Requiem of the Rose King – On hold, ep.2. – I was really looking forward to this, but the animation is awful and the pace of the story adaptation isn’t much better.
Police in a Pod – Unfunny copaganda. Dropped after 1.
