I finished Apothecary Diaries awhile ago, enjoyed it more than expected, then as I was looking for something else to watch I started Overlord.

These are two very different shows, and I'm not sure I'll stick with Overlord. It's not bad or anything, but not what I'm interested in right now.

I'm sure the rest of you may have run into this before, so I'm interested in some of your experiences. What are some shows you've watched where it felt like pretty major stylistic/tonal whiplash?

Going right from Zeta Gundam to the sequel (ZZ/Double Zeta) breaks my brain, even though I know it's coming. Zeta is played very straight and gets grim towards the end. The tone of ZZ eventually evens out a bit but those first dozen or so episodes of Ragtag Band Of War Orphans Clowning On Every Adult is like a mallet to the nads.

Yazan should not be comic relief. ๐Ÿ˜ค
