What about Dan Da Dan is giving it such high ratings?
People like it. Personally, I like the story-telling, the characters and the execution.
Do you think I’d find this series worth it?
Hard to tell without knowing what you like. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I guess you’d like it if you enjoy a romcom filled with action and a pinch of emotional moments.
What is the expected age group for the show?
It feels like the target demographic is shounen / boys. I’m older (i.e. seinen), but I still enjoy it. I believe ladies (both shoujo and joshi) would like it too. IMO when it’s good, the demographic matters less; everyone would like it.
the series description gave me a hard pass for the aforementioned reason Felt to me like a bunch of nonsense being yelled at opponents until some cool anime action happened
I haven’t (and don’t intend to) watch JJK for the same reason: it sounds like a typical battle shounen anime that is boring as hell. That’s not what is happening in Dan Da Dan.

I was originally going to pick up Oshi no Ko. Now that I know the ending, I don’t think I’m going to - at least not in the near future. In fact, season 3 of the anime would quite low on my watch list.
Oshi no Ko spoiler, kinda
After having been burnt by endings that I was unsatisfied with in the past, I have made it a habit of checking out the endings of the series (for those that ended) before starting them.
meta spoiler, maybe
With very few exceptions, non-happy endings for the protagonist just ruins the journey for me. In fact, this is one of the main reasons why I procrastinate starting on some series - e.g. Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans Season 2, Code Geass, Gurren Lagann. (Top reason: high episode count) Even bittersweet endings like Wolf Children or high-quality shows like Cyberpunk Edgerunners just don’t cut it.
Oshi no Ko spoiler, kinda
And boy am I glad I check out the ending for Oshi no Ko. It’s far from a happy one, and exactly the kind I want to avoid. I won’t be giving it too low of a score because I enjoyed the story - at least up to the anime - but there’s no chance of it being among my top favourites now.

Past Seasons
Completed Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 1.
It already has many of the usual Gundam tropes in previous seasons, but now it introduced (or made explicit) one more: the princess figure. At this point, I’m expecting a Char clone and a laser beam.
I enjoyed it a lot just like season 2, so 10 / 10.
This Season
At this point, I’m only following 3 series.
- Murai in Love - It is the dark horse of the season for me, but fell behind a bit as it approaches the end. I was aware going in that it is a shoujo anime, but the humour was on-point so I didn’t care. Looks like it couldn’t resist catering to its demographic and ended up including some shoujo tropes that I didn’t like (i.e. unnecessary drama). With only one episode before it ends, I doubt it’s going to climb back up to being anime of the season for me.
- Re:Zero Season 3 - Just like others in this community, I was about to put it on-hold and binge it later - but then I learnt that it would be going on break after the next episode anyway. I’m sure it would get good later, but for now, it’s becoming a chore to watch.
- Dan Da Dan - Most likely to be anime of the season for me.

Among their favorites is “Fallout” – a post-apocalyptic drama based on the video game series of the same name.
I find this incredibly ironic.

This is a no-brainer but I’m predicting that Dan Da Dan tops this (next?) week’s anime charts.

Lousiest episode so far. Listening to them talk makes me feel dumb.
For some reason, they’ve got to state the obvious throughout their conversation. Also, whenever someone come up with a counterpoint or an idea, the rest would revere it - even though all the speaker did was said something common-sensical.
It’s like the show’s creators don’t trust their audience to think or something. My intelligence feels insulted.
Subaru’s speech sucks too. Too lazy to elaborate.
This is not the first time Re:Zero has made me feel this way, but it rarely makes me feel like this the entire episode. I had to speed up the episode to get through it.
It’s about time Subaru get back to dying again to make things interesting.

Completed season 2 of Attack on Titan.
Just like @ReluctantZen@feddit.nl, I found season 2 to be way better than season 1 just based on the plot alone.
The flaws that I pointed out previously are still present, but I felt that there have been improvements e.g. less narration and exposition, reduced recaps (no recap for some episodes).
I like it a lot, so I’m closing one eye to its flaws and giving it a 10 / 10.
Also watched Look Back. It’s good.
It being only 1 hour long makes it an easy watch too.

I noticed that they never actually defeat Raspi; it just went out of bounds. I won’t be surprised if Raspi returns.

It’s kind of late, but why is Subaru still wearing his one-and-only tracksuit? Does he not have any other clothes? What happens when he does laundry? We don’t see him naked!
In fact, other characters are all wearing the exact same clothes or have multiple sets of the same clothes.
The only explanation I can think of - in Subaru’s case at least - is that someone casts laundry magic on him regularly.

What anime has the best romance?
Thank you for phrasing it this way, leaving room for anime that do not have romance among its genres.
For me, it’s Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury . I love the relationship between Suletta and Miorine so much.
Honourable mention goes to 86 for Lena x Shin.

This is such a cool world-building chapter.
From my understanding, there are two types of exorcists:
those who can see, but are otherwise powerless and got to rely on talismans - Mitsue, Rom, Miko
those who can’t see but able to burn ghouls; requires food (especially sweets) as fuel for their power - Seto, Hana
