If I forgot something please do point it out. The old season is ending with a bang (Mushoku Tensei II’s bittersweet ending, Lv2 kara Cheat was fun to the end), let’s hope for a good new season!

And as a reminder, the third season of TenSura is still going strong.

I’m specially interested on the Failure Frame and Isekai Shikkaku series, as the associated manga ones are rather fun. What about you?

    I think you are missing Dahlia in Bloom. @NineSwords@ani.social recommended that one based on the LN, so I am planning on checking it out.

    Another one I have my eye on is Quality Assurance. I haven’t really been able to make heads or tails of it based on the synopsis and the PV. The title makes me think that it is a VR-style world and the QA part of the title is about hunting for bugs in the code. However, all the synopses and the PV make it look like a serious fantasy story. Probably going to wait and see what the initial reaction is before diving in.

      I’ve added Dahlia in Bloom to the list, thanks! It sounds like a fun series, I’ll check it out too. By the synopses it sounds like the MC is trying to carve her place in the world, without relying on the others.

      About QA in Another World: the story boils down to a bunch of debuggers trapped in the world of the game that they’re debugging, and either accepting their fate or trying to go back to Earth. The main character (Haga) is one of those debuggers, but unlike the others he keeps diligently debugging the thing.

      And as he’s debugging a village scripted to burn down to a dragon attack, he meets a weird NPC, called Nikola; due to some bug Nikola doesn’t die with the other villagers, and now she follows him as he’s debugging everything.

      So it’s way less serious than the PVs make it look like, and considerably less serious than, let’s say, Log Horizon (another “multiple people trapped inside a game world” story).

      I recommend to give the first chapter of the manga a try. I personally find it fun, and I’m planning to follow the anime series.

        That is what I was hoping for. I am down for debugging hijinks, so sign me up.

        By the synopses it sounds like the MC is trying to carve her place in the world, without relying on the others.

        It’s more about her slowly learning to rely on others after being worked to death on Earth and getting burned by her fiancee in the isekai world. The not relying on others part is the status quo and the journey is opening up and starting to trust others to the point where she can comfortably start to rely on others. At least that’s what I think the story is about, but over that is a layer of slow-burn romance, so the underlying plot might be missed by some.
