    It was nice to get an overview of all the airing anime.

    I can confirm that Jujutsu Kaisen and Mushoku Tensei are bangers.

    I just watched the first 3 episodes of Reign of the Seven Spellblades because he was enthusiastic about it, but I didn’t find it particularly good. I’d definitely place it lower than Bungo Stray Dogs. I’ll continue watching it for now.

    I want to give Undead Murder Farce a watch, but I have a feeling it’ll be better to binge it once the season has finished.

    I wasn’t even aware of Zom 100 or Link Click, some more to watch in the future.

    I haven’t watched Dark Gathering. I’m skeptical, but I’m willing to give it try.

    I can confirm My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even At Level 1 is trash and mildly enjoyable. Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero sounds like it’s worth trying out.

    As for The Duke of Death and His Maid, I didn’t find the first season interesting enough for me to watch the second. I didn’t even think the CGI looked that bad, I just never felt particularly interested in the contents. The OP song for season 1 was great, though.

    Masamune-kun’s Revenge R is a show I thought I’d watch, but then I saw that I had actually rated the first season a score of 6 on MyAnimeList (which is a barely-not-dropped score for me). So, I decided to hold off. I’ll watch it if it has favorable reviews when it finishes.

      I, too, gave Spellblades 1.5 episodes , and will watch it… only if there’s nothing else new to watch. There’s always something new to watch.

      Murder Farce has been great so far. Animation, pacing, story are on point, but the snark is why you stay.

      Same story about Zom 100 and Link Click. Didn’t even know about Link Click season 1. That alone will probably keep me from watching Spellblades.

      The only trash I’ll order off the menu is Tiny Sempai. I’m a sucker for office SoL. That’s also why I’m ranking Masterful Cat higher in my books.

      Binged all of Ooku: the Inner Chambers. You likely want to have a deep interest in Edo-era culture and palace politics to appreciate the gender swap thesis. I was left just a tiny bit cold in how episode 1 set up a great historical question, which the series answered well, but it never returned at the end to say, “wow, this is why things are they way they are”, which made me wonder if there’d be a second season. Since it’s Netflix, prolly not.
