      I don’t blame you for dropping Ryza. I am going to give it one more episode before dropping since I have heard good things about the source from a friend that is excited about it, but so far I have found it very dull.

        From what I understand, it’s filling in parts of the story that were skipped in S1. So not really a S2, and not really a spin-off. I’m not sure exactly, but I think the first couple episodes of Pieces were set roughly 1/3 of the way through S1?

        I’m enjoying seeing the characters again, and there have been some nice moments.

    Watching all the releases and I’m waiting for three episodes before I start dropping shows but following are the ones I enjoyed: Liar liar, Zom100, Mushoku tensei, Helck, Vending machine, and Thighza.

    The rest had to be on 1.5 or 2x speed or else I would’ve dropped it before the 10minute mark of episode 1.

    I found the vending machine one to be strangely interesting in a stereotypical kind of way. Kenshin I’ll probably drop, seemed like a direct copy or close enough of the original and live action movies. I liked My Happy Marrige a lot more than I expected and really need to see the next episode to make a determination. I really didn’t like The girl I like forgot her glasses. The production is… something, and not in a good way. And the story isn’t catching me.

    I was hoping this season was the season I would have the chance to rewatch some favorites of mine but my list is getting longer than anticipated.

    • Fate Strange Fake
    • Helck
    • Shiro Seiko
    • Ryza

    3 episodes:

    • Zom
    • Dark Gathering
    • Rurouni Kenshin
    • Chiisai Senpai

    Shows I might not actually watch because I read the manga (exceptions include Helck and played Ryza):

    • Suki na Ko ga Megane… (Damn GoHands is walking a very fine line with this one)
    • Temple
    • Masamune-kun
    • Horimiya

    How do I watch so much? I don’t. Some of these will be dropped halfway through or altogether when the new season starts.

    I generally only watch one or two shows as they air each season and then binge them at the end because I can’t stand the wait, so my pick this season is the vending machine!

    Struggling to find anything to watch this season. Seems like most shows this season are either continuing series that I don’t care about, or fall pretty firmly into my “don’t bother” list: uninspired isekai schlock, drawn out will they/won’t they romcoms, and contrived harems in which everyone inexplicably likes the self-insert main character just because he’s the only “nice” male in a 50 mile radius.

    Ryza is okay but the characters are absurdly dumb (let me closely inspect these blue flowers to check if they are white or not). Zom 100 seems all right and is well animated but the first episode of [40 minutes of generic Japanese salaryman backstory that I don’t care about] was really tedious to get through. I gave the vending machine a chance for at least trying to be unique but was not at all impressed - it’s just the same isekai crap beneath the surface (just buy the exact skill I need to solve each problem that appears). Will probably try to watch the first 3 eps of Helck in one sitting because people have been enthusiastic about it, hopefully it’s decent.

    If anyone has any recommendations for a good comedy or fantasy series I’ll check it out, otherwise it’s probably gonna be a backlog season for me.
