    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
    • Lvxferre

      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!
