    I might check out Re:Monster tonight. I thought I wouldn’t have time this season for it, but this early in the season, not all the shows I am planning on watching have started up yet, giving me some time to sneak it in. I have read a good portion of the manga and I am frankly not expecting too much. I do expect that there will be some controversy with how human lives are treated in the beginning of the series.

    Others I have watched and have more thorough comments in their respective threads are:

    • Tsukimichi - I am still enjoying Tsukimichi and the new OP/ED is fun (and the ED is spicy). However, they tease story events that happen pretty far into the future. So, I am expecting either some cut content from the source or some story rearrangement like what happened in season 1.
    • 7th Prince - Episode 1 pretty much met my expectations from reading the manga. Lots of fan service (shota included), and some pretty visuals. The manga is quite popular for its artwork (especially later in the series), so I was curious to see how a newer, unproven studio adapted the stunning visuals of the manga.

      Re:Monster: I also expect some controversy, as a lot of people don’t get that it’s fantasy (and one within a “dog eats dog” world.) The manga feels repetitive after some time but the most interesting part is the beginning, so I think that it’s worth watching it.

      Overall I liked the pacing, and that they kept the “day ##” template from the manga.

      TsukiMichi: my bet is that they’re doing bits of both cutting and rearranging - the story is good, but there are some parts that are simply better skipped as unnecessary. What I am excited the most is that they might develop further a bit of the WN

      when Makoto eventually gives up his status as “permavirgin MC” and return both Mio and Tomoe’s affection. For me it’s that threshold that says “now he sees himself as part of that world, and willing to create deeper bonds with people there”.

        Agree entirely with your spoiler. I am curious to see how they rearrange the show and end season 2 with a bang like they did for the first season. I have my suspicion about where it will end based on the OP, but we will see.
