    After a season ends, I tend to not watch anything from the new season for a while to watch other things. So, I spend last week getting caught up with most of what I wanted to watch from this season. No real standouts for me yet, but overall still good.

    • MARRIAGEXTOXIN: I was already reading the manga and so far I’m really enjoying this adaptation.
    • Gals Can’t Be Kind To Otaku: also a manga reader. For some reason, I typically don’t really care for adaptations of these types of manga (that I’ve read). They often don’t provide extra value to me. I’m afraid that mostly holds true here. It’s not bad and I am enjoying it, but would rather read the manga. I think a large reason here is the voice acting for Seo. It’s so wimpy and pathetic. Not that he isn’t in the manga, but it feels amped up here. And louder.
    • Daemons of the Shadow Realm: mostly enjoying it, but there are some crucial points that I don’t like about it, particularly how it reveals information (or rather, doesn’t) feels very artificial and obtuse. Depending on how that goes, it might become a reason for me dropping it.
    • Ramparts of Ice: digging this one the most so far. I like the FMC a lot. It’s only brought down by Netflix’s awful typesetting in the subs, unable to properly present text bubbles and signs without interrupting the actual spoken subs.
    • An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess: it’s fun to see a “villainess” story from the perspective of someone else.

    Still want to watch:

    • Dr Stone
    • Needy Girl Overdose: only watched the 1st ep, but thought it was really good. Very heavy, but good. The heaviness is making me a bit reluctant to continue.
    • Witch Hat Atelier
    • ReZero: haven’t fully watched season 3 yet tho.
