    Well, sure, but to avoid spoiling anything in this general thread, I just used Ryll's words.

    I know sometimes we tend to go a little beyond the spoiler protection act

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Dead Mount Death Play is actually pretty cute and fun. Baccano/DRRR writer, but more comedic with its necromancy than the previous series.

    Less on the Stylish, much stronger on the morbid humor. So it still feels very much like a refinement on where the other two occasionally tread, with a lighter tone despite the much more gruesome and flippant individuals involved.

    World Dai Star:
    I've had a feeling Kokona's friend is either imaginary or a ghost.
    Probably the former, and Kokona's sense is the ability to have everyone believe she exists and is there either on stage and even IRL as Kokona's sense is active all the time.
    Nothing to tell about the anime, small slices of scenes with gimmicky animation and sense power active when eyes glow.

    So, what are the must-watch anime this season? After dropping some, I'm in desperate need for more. There's a 4 day gap where nothing airs for me currently >_>

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    Skip to Loafer. Hands down my favorite of the season.

    Dead Mount Death Play is dumb but entertaining.

    Oshi no Ko is kinda a given.

    And I'm always going to advocate for Birdie Wing, Season 2. It's got everything.

    Rokudou no Onna-tachi is a very retro-feeling series. Not just "like" a 1980s sukeban series, it very much is one.

    Most things all air on basically the same few days. I just spread them out.

    Can you explain why Skip to Loafer is good? I watched the 1st episode, but the face of the female protag turned me off.

    I really like Jigokuraku for new anime this season. Yuusha ga Shinda reminds of of konosuba. Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia is a nice grounded story, along with Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu.

    If you want an isekai, Kaminaki Sekai is a good one where the protag isn't OP and there are other powerful beings out there.

    Ao no Orchestra seems nice for music anime enthusiasts. Mashle if you know Harry Potter and like OPM.

    - Skip to Loafer looks like a light-hearted romcom, not what I need rn
    - Oshi no Ko looks like the ultimate netorare-story: The hero is the girl's gynecologist, then becomes her son, and is supposed to "protect her smile", but has no change to ever bone her? Ugh
    - Jigokuraku looks like another anime for 12-year olds, I'd rather rewatch Claymore
    - Yuusha ga Shinda, again not looking for comedy
    - Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu, another meme-comedy show


    Kaminaki Sekai looks kinda interesting. Are the serious parts good or is it mostly comedy? Trailer wasn't clear about it.

    Lol! Is that the summary they went with? Props for them trying to avoid spoiling, but goddamn, not what that series is actually about.

    This is what MAL says:

    Sixteen-year-old Ai Hoshino is a talented and beautiful idol who is adored by her fans. She is the personification of a pure, young maiden. But all that glitters is not gold.

    Gorou Amemiya is a countryside gynecologist and a big fan of Ai. So when the pregnant idol shows up at his hospital, he is beyond bewildered. Gorou promises her a safe delivery. Little does he know, an encounter with a mysterious figure would result in his untimely death—or so he thought.

    Opening his eyes in the lap of his beloved idol, Gorou finds that he has been reborn as Aquamarine Hoshino—Ai's newborn son! With his world turned upside down, Gorou soon learns that the world of showbiz is paved with thorns, where talent does not always beget success. Will he manage to protect Ai's smile that he loves so much with the help of an eccentric and unexpected ally?

    So is there more to it? Why the fuck is it sitting at a score over 9.0?! One of the best anime ever?

    Watch first ep (a 3 eps long movie actually). If you can tolerate some arm twisting, you'll have a better understanding of the summary and will be able to decide for yourself. You need to spend some time watching though.

    Yes, you sort of need to get past her derp face. I guess it's meant to convey how plain she is, but even with her looking out of place with the rest of the cast, it still works. Mitsumi is out of place with the rest of the cast, and ultimately she's still very expressive as the series progresses. Kurosawa Tomoyo and the rest of the cast sell the series hard with a very grounded performance to it all.

    The series is all the good bits of Kimi no Todoke, Kare Kano, Euphonium, and Hana Yori Dango. The "true classics" of the coming of age romance dramas.

    It's a really solid series.

    They really excel at characters interacting and growing from seeing each others' perspectives. The ensemble feels like actual human beings instead of character archetypes. They're all multi-layered, dynamic, and as you learn more about each of them, it makes sense why they are how they are.

    Just watch the first episode with its theatrical length, like David said.

    You already watched it, so I don't need to answer.

    I'll happily take the break from pretty heavy weighted seasons before another loaded season in the Fall.

    You're not looking forward to Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 3?!!? Looks like they're finally adding in the best girl.

    Quite a few award winning series on there next season.

    NGL I'm gonna watch Rental-A-Girlfriend S3. The doujinshi parody by Yahiro Pochi is way better though.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    i never started Rent a GF. Is it good?

    Still, in terms of "serious" shows, next season looks atrocious. And that after this current season that was already light on bangers.

    It has above-average art, a handful of the characters are good (the fish, Sumi, and Mini), but absolutely not.

    There was a point where it looked like it was finally starting to turn around and get more interesting (well twice it did) but where it currently is, is the most painful dreck I've read since the early 2000s. It once felt like it was self-aware of how cringe it was, which led to its realism. But it has gone pure..."idol fanclub" lately.
