    Kind of funny that 2/5 of the series that I’m watching that appear in this list were things that I picked on a whim - 2.5D Seduction and Bye, Bye Earth. (The other three are Isekai Shikkaku, Failure Frame, and TenSura s3.)

    Other stuff that I'm watching
    • Dungeon no Naka no Hito (also picked on a whim, kind of okay?)
    • Isekai Yururi Kikou (I’m considering dropping this one)
    • QA in Another World (kind of a letdown to be honest)
    • Dahlia in Bloom (pleasantly surprised with it)
    • Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. (please don’t judge me on this one…)
    • Maougun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta (Eh.)
    • Mob kara Hajimaru Tansaku Eiyuutan (run-off-the-mill story, might drop it later)
    • Naze Boku no Sekai wo Daremo (weird but so far I’m digging it)
    • NieR 1.1 part 2 (I don’t play the games, but the whole 2B and 9S story is interesting)
    • Spice and Wolf (I’m liking this version quite a bit)
    • Shinmain Ossan Boukensha (silly premise, nice message, OK implementation)

      Outside of Oshi No Ko, and Tower Of God, there’s nothing that is really grabbing me this season…

      I’m also watching:

      • I Parry Everything (Earnest, but meh.)
      • Dungeon No Naka No Hito (meh.)
      • The Fable (restarting a new story arc is expectedly slow, but waiting for a payoff)
      • Isekai Suicide Squad (high budget, terrible writing, direction)
      • DeDeDeDe Destruction (A really dark take on Doraemon, I sorta like it, but it’s difficult to watch)
      • Tasuuketsu (There’s supposed to be some big brain stuff in there, but it’s too confusing. And cheap production values)
      • Senpai wa Otokonoko (low key, but also feels boring. MC is a bit too boring so far)
      • Nokotan (It’s wild but is it funny?)
      • Bye Bye Earth (It’s pretentious to the point of having no meaning)
      • Kinnikuman (Production I.G. does goofy battle-of-the-week anime-ized pro wrestling)
      • Mayonaka Punch (Like Call Of The Night, but with a Youtuber?)

      Dropped:

      • Plus Sized Elf (smells like one joke)
      • QA Isekai (boring direction doesn’t bode well)
      • No Longer Allowed In Another World (meh, not my style of humor)

      Want To Try:

      • Elusive Samurai
      • Roshidere
      • VTuber
      • Grendizer U
      • Ramen Akaneko
      • Wistoria
      • Narenare

        You found the perfect word to describe Bye Bye Earth - pretentious. So far I’m watching it to see if it flies or crashes under my radar.

        I’ll give Tower of God a check, I don’t recall why I skipped it in 2020.

          Re: ToG, you’ll want to watch S1 to get the whole world setup. Or read the source manhwa.

          Re: Bye Bye Earth - Yeah, I’m waiting for 1 or 2 more episodes to see if there’s a payoff, but I’m feeling cynical about this one.

            Got it - I’ll go with the manhwa then. (Going anime→manga often saps my fun.) Thank you for the rec!
