My midseason tierlist (after 6-7 episodes)

S Tier

• Raise wa Tanin ga Ii/Yakuza Fiance - Still good.
• Dan Da Dan - If this anime season had a 1st place champion, it would be this show.

A Tier

• Shangri-La Frontier - Sunraku’s attempts to cheeze the game mechanics are still fun to watch.
• Re Zero - I think this season is following the same pattern as last season where Subaru is falling into a seemingly insurmountable tangle of problems, and he’ll have to figure things out later somehow. This makes it really hard to watch right now. I can’t argue with the understated production values though.
• Blue Lock (+1 tier) - Okay, back to the action! Powerpoint animation and crazy exaggerated footballing powers go!
• MF Ghost (+1 tier) - It’s stupid unrealistic car racing, but it’s fun! Playing weekly new eurobeat soundtracks in the background helps.

B Tier

• Wajutsushi (-1 tier) - Annoying assassin bimbo sidekick isn’t working for me. Lead character not making enough morally questionable decisions. Leading me to question what is the point of this show…
• Maou 2099 (-1 tier) - The whipsawing between being a streamer, and combat. MC Veltol is making intelligent decisions, but the story feels predictable.
• Acro Trip - Hugh the “real” villain mastermind was fun, but I feel like they’re running out of ideas because things are getting somewhat random.
• Trillion Game - This is somewhat difficult to watch. The crazy MC’s antics to get ahead are borderline unethical, in fact, their team gets disqualified for cheating, but I do find myself wondering what he’s going to come up with next.
• Chi - Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite - Still hard to watch. The subject is very relevant and I want to keep watching this, but…

C Tier

• Tower Of God (-1 tier) - Incomprehensible story, poor animation are putting this series on the brink for me. I loved S1, and I feel like there’s a decent story in there somewhere, but this… I dunno. I don’t know whether it’s a problem that’s in the source manhwa, or a rushed production, or what, but the net result is not good.

F Tier (dropped)

• Magilumiere (-2 tiers) - Stopped watching this because of a busy schedule, and I don’t miss it
• Negaposi Angler - I actually did watch 2 episodes of this, but I’m not feeling compelled to continue.
• SAO GGO2
• Danmachi S5
• Ranma 1/2

I feel like I should be watching:

• Villainess Who Goes Down In History

Watching randomly:

• Kengan Ashura S2 - I hate Netflix bombing me with a whole season all at once.
