Ranma 1/2 S3: This show was a bit boring on S2, but S3 has some insane Mappa animation and the story is not so bad, so I’m optimistic.
Tempau: This show started really promising, but now I’m pessimistic, because it seems like any other rpg slop.
Blue Box S2: Pessimistic on this one as well, I feel like I’m getting rage baited all the time. The progression is so slow and painful to watch. If this season would be packed, I would probably drop this one.
Last Boss S2: It’s okayish, better than average for similar shows, but I still think it’s plot as not good, easy to read and the animation is not that good as well.
Reincarnated as a Sword: still the same as S1 but better, Fran is still cute, the story is interesting and the OST and action scenes are enjoyable
Apothecary Diaries S3: I’m still waiting for a click, only setup episodes so far, I guess S2 had more action so I have different expectations.
I think S2 suffered the most from all the jumping around. We arguably should have had the Breaking Point arc last season.
I think we’re getting some great arcs in S3 though, the Tea Ceremony arc and guy with the giant mouth seem to be on the docket, which are some of my favorites from the original series. I’ve also heard that Mappa is gonna adapt the non-canon trans Ranma episode, which seems wild but it’s probably the most popular non-canon episode.

Assuming that’s a typo for the untranslated title of Overgeared, my memories of the portion of the novel that I read suggest that it is indeed an undistinguished Korean VR tale.

I think the most distinctive point about it was that Grid developed a habit of treating the NPCs like actual people, to the point of getting engaged to one, but it’s been ten years and my memories are very vague.

I adjusted to Overgeared, thanks.
