Dan Da Dan S2
- Of course, are you nuts?
Lord of the Mysteries
- I'll watch. It wasn't in the seasonal list for summer, so nice catch
Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon S2
- My kind of brain rot. S1 was stupid funny.
My Dress Up Darling S2
- I almost watched S1. I might do so now to be ready for S2 unless sometime can recommend better.
The Summer Hikaru Died
- Almost skipped based on title, but I love a good psychological thrill.
Grand Blue S2
- Probably not going to watch S1 to catch up
Leviathan
- Added to list after watching the trailer. Missed it because it was an ona
Gachiakuta
- Added based on summary and character designs
Kaiju No. 8 S2
- Yes please
Sakamoto Days S1P2
- I saw a lot of complaints about this, but I loved it.
Doctor Stone Science Future Cour 2
- At this point you have either dropped it or are already waiting for it. I'm in group 2
Sword of the Demon Hunter Cour 2
- Just finished cour 1 and was sad I have to wait 3 weeks.

Also in my list:

Call of the night
- I saw S1 opening and thought I might like it
Shield Hero
- I can't help myself
Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus
I was reincarnated as a seventh prince so I can take my time perfecting my magic as a shota gathering a huge crowd of loyal followers worshipping my every step while I continue to try to keep it secret from others.
- I don't know. I started watching it and it's not bad enough to stop

Any suggestions on interesting things to watch?

I'm already shilling The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity because it has the same studio and director as Akebi's Sailor Uniform, and that one is among the most visually stunning works out there.

Ok, I'll have to check it out.

If i had a nickel for every "Magic War Crime Toddler" The Anime out there, I would have two nickels: which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened twice (Saga of Tanya the Evil)

Also, Go Go Loser Ranger was far better than i expected.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Saga of Tanya the Evil was great. I should read the manga, since I recall that she wanted to take the empire down from the inside.

I think I still have one more episode of Loser Ranger left. I'm rooting for the guy, even if he isn't exactly clear on his goals (world domination?!?!)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Season 1 or 2 of Loser Ranger? I just watched the finale of season 2 a few hours ago and its epilogue is... a lot, very rapidly gone through.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Season 2. I am expecting it to end in a rush.

Lord of the Mysteries

I’ll watch. It wasn’t in the seasonal list for summer, so nice catch

I suspect it wasn't on the seasonal list because it's a donghua rather than an anime in the strict sense. The first episode suggests it may end up being style over substance, but it's got enough style that I'll continue with it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yes, I'm afraid so too. The first episode was visually stunning, but the second episode was no longer at the same level. We'll have to wait and see.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure your are right and it was just in the ona list.
