I’ve been watching The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System, and I’m so torn on this one. On one hand, the animation is amazing, and for one the MC seems to have a good personality, but oh my goodness, the pacing is beyond slow. That, and the entire game/class system is super weird? Like, the game the world is based on feels so unbalanced and poorly designed. It’s not a deal breaker, but it’s such a weird combination of greatness and badness.

I also tried to watch Tougen Anki, but it feels like such a cookie cutter shonen. I am so tired of the loud-mouthed, half-brained punk kid as MC. Can’t me try something different? For all I complain JJK is Naruto with a different skin (at least until the Shibuya arc), at least Itadori was a fresh take on the shonen MC stereotypes.

This has been so far a bit slow season. I’m watching The Apothecary Diares season 3, and well… I don’t know, maybe I was expecting more, considering we’re into season 3. I’m also not fan of the new setting, not to mention the profound lack of interaction (or progress!) between the two leads. Feels it’s been 3 episodes of a lot of nothing, with a very small side dish of the season overarching mysterious plot.

I’m also watching Ramparts of Ice season 2. Season 1 surprised me with how good it was. But season 2 is becoming a bit too heavy too fast, and I think I’ll wait until all eps are done before resuming watching it.

Finally, started watching Romelia War Chronicles (I apologise if that’s not the English name); it’s fine so far. Nothing too great, but also good enough to convince me to watch a bit more. That said, the main lead def needs a bit more time developing her character; so far it’s a bit hard to get her.

So, overall, a bland start to this season. Thank goodness for backlogs!
