Strong agree. I watch one of everything, and this time it feels like a struggle to find anything worth continuing at all.
Maybe it’s time to make progress on my backlog…
Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 02]

Is it just me, or is the crop of isekai/light fantasy anime this season even worse than usual? I think I’ve watched ten premiers so far and gotten one good one (Zenshu), three mediocre-but-might-improve, one so-bad-it’s-kinda-fun-to-poke-fun-at, and five that were just dire. I’m almost afraid to check out the other four or five I’d intended to take a look at.

Yeah, from perusing the discussion threads, it has been pretty lackluster so far. There are a couple high-profile returning series (Apothecary Diaries, Solo Leveling, 100 Girlfriends), but we will see how the rest of the new shows turn out as they make their premieres in the next week.
