  • From your list, I really enjoyed I’m in Love with the Villainess, Sacrificial Princess, Magical Revolution, and Buddy Daddies. Zom100, Overtake, and Yuri is My Job were on the decent tier. I didn’t watch Pluto or Ooku, so can’t comment on those. However, Helk was really the one show that I tried so hard to like, but it just couldn’t fully get there. I really enjoyed the beginning few episodes, and even the whole flashback arc that a lot of people despised. But after the flashbacks were over, it seemed like they lost their way and tried to do too much and be too many different things. The whole reason the bad guys did everything didn’t make any sense (who is farming or making food or providing services in this kingdom?) but I did appreciate the underlying positive message. Maybe now that they’ve set everything else up, a S2 would be more consistent. I’ll still give it a chance if they make more.

    For me, my favorite 10 shows this year are probably (in no particular order)

    Heavenly Delusion

    Tomo Chan is a Girl

    Ruroni Kenshin

    Apothecary Diary

    The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses

    Dark Gathering

    100 girlfriends Who Really Love You

    Undead Girl Murder Farce

    Sacrificial Princess

    Hell’s Paradise

    Frieren is still running, otherwise it’d be on here too. Undead Unluck was a serious contender too. That show is a lot of fun.







  • I really want to like this show, but it seems to just love to go over the top with terrible things happening to the “good guys” These last few episodes have seemed more torture porn than fun to watch. Looks like that might be over at this point with his power-up. I feel really bad for Doroka though and hope there is some way to fix her eyes.

    Also for a crazy OP MC that everyone is terrified of, Adonis sure does seem like he has no idea how to actually battle anyone. He keeps taking these close range fights and then get his ass kicked instead of kiting around and using his magic. I swear they’ve had to animate his quill hitting the ground more than just about anything else.









  • Man, these past couple of episodes have been so emotional. I really dig that this show isn’t afraid to both explore the dark parts and the light parts. It’s not 100% “the power of friendship” since the bad guys (at least Pesha’s mom) have understandable reasons/trauma that were being exploited. This is a very different show than it was in the first couple of episodes, and I’m glad I stuck with it.
