    A couple that I’ve caught at least one episode of and that have not so far been mentioned anywhere else in this community that I’ve noticed:

    Monster Eater: We’ve all seen this plot before: Low-ranking fantasy-world adventurer gets backstabbed by his party, then turns out to be powerful after all. The interesting thing about it, sort of, is the animation, which is being done paper doll style (that is, a lot of things sliding or rotating in the same plane as the camera without changing size or shape). The artwork style is pretty bog-standard, though, and the overall effect is weird. Don’t know whether I’ll continue with this one.

    Kami no Shizuku / The Drops of God: Once or twice a year, I pick up a mundane drama type series as a break from my usual diet of fantasy, sf, and action material. Now, I’m only one episode into this one, and I have absolutely no interest in wine. But I’ve watched anime about other things that I have absolutely no interest in, like ballet or karuta. Unfortunately, compared to those, I felt that this show spent a little too much time rhapsodizing about its central enthusiasm. I’ll try another episode or two and see if it’s able to draw me in anyway. At least the characters are adults, so I know it won’t degenerate into clichéd teen romance the way Ao no Orchestra did.
