    Between that and the Gurren Lagann movies re-release, I'm really happy for Imaishi's production team to get the rights to the franchises they worked so hard on when they were at Gainax!

    In no particular order: Demon Slayer season 3- is probably my least favorite season of a show I think is more "okay" rather than "good". It's watchable but I don't have a lot positive to say about...

    In no particular order:

    Demon Slayer season 3- is probably my least favorite season of a show I think is more "okay" rather than "good". It's watchable but I don't have a lot positive to say about it.

    Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure: Serving Gods Who Go Too Far- some bottom of the barrel isekai. I should have dropped this after the first episode, but I keep clicking on it week after week out of habit.

    Galaxy Next Door- dropped. I couldn't get past the initial conceit and that was that.

    Hell's Paradise- Enjoyable. It's a little more of a slow burn than people are used to from Mappa so I read a lot of complaints about it online, but to me the world building and characterization for the leads keeps me looking forward to this one every week.

    My Love Story With Yamada At lv999- fun, cute josei-type story. After the first couple episodes I went and binged the manga. There's no depth here, it's just a relaxing watch.

    ToniKawa season 2- pretty direct continuation from tonikaku kawaii season 1. I've read the manga for this series for years, the anime is a good adaptation.

    My One-Hit Kill Sister- dropped. It tells one joke over and over again, if you like that joke this series may be for you. It isn't for me.

    Magical Girl Destroyers- this anime is so weird that I don't know what to think. The OP/ED are great. The writing seems to leave a lot to be desired. Trying too hard to be Imaishi-ish? idk. When the dust settles it will either be a masterpiece or a waste of time.

    Yuri is my Job!- dropped after 3 episodes. I really like yuri as a genre, but couldn't get attached to the cast of this one at all.

    The Legendary Hero is Dead- great OP, hate the MC. Dropped after 2 episodes.

    Konosuba- an explosion on this wonderful world!- I like it, but specifically as a megumin fan. I wouldn't recommend it to literally anyone else.

    KamiKatsu- I find the MC to be kind of refreshing amongst the various isekai protagonists, but the show itself is a bit of a mess. Definitely not an anime you can share with the uninitiated.

    Skip and Loafer- wholesome, relaxing.

    Why Raelina Ended Up At the Duke's Mansion- of all the anime with otome type settings, this one is my favorite. I like the heavy drama tone it has. I do wish it had more animation budget though.

    Vinland Saga season 2- I like it a lot more than season 1. The themes and character moments are resonant. Good stuff.

    Oshi no Ko- I think it's a little overhyped personally, but still very watchable. It definitely keeps me hooked and waiting for the next episode.

    Dangers In My Heart- I was so ready to drop this after the first episode, but manga readers swore up and down that it gets better, and it did. It's a fun low stakes romcom, not a lot to say but I do look forward to it every week.

    My favorite sports anime is Chihayafuru, which... I don't really know if it even counts as sports anime, but seems to fit the format so there you go. More recently, I had a lot of fun with Blue Lock- which is somehow less sports anime than Chihayafuru was. I really enjoy the "death game" genre cliches being applied to something less serious and I'd like to see more of that edgy/shonen take on different games.

    I used to really like nightcore, but that was with the original batch of songs from 2006ish (dam dadi do, god is a girl, etc). Once it started to be a "thing" and every song had a nightcore version it was a lot less compelling.

    My experience with future funk was pretty similar to your experience with synthwave. Once I noticed the same few citypop artists were being sampled over and over again, I just started listening to citypop directly. Cut out the middle man! Goodbye Desired, Night Tempo, Macross 82-89. Hello Anri, Shizuka Kudo, Mariya Takeuchi. I'm enjoying exploring the genre.
