I wish more anime was like that.

That’s true.  Also in the 2nd episode of Kemono Michi we met the OP dragon loli and her vampire servant that’s a combination of Aqua and Darkness.

Not funny, at all, except using the general's head as a soccer ball. 3 really dumb characters. 1, maybe 2, I can see, but 3 is overkill. The mc is only kind of sort of interesting. Really plain, with no real character.

Maybe if the water goddess wasn't trying to use a fire attack, she might actually have been able to smite her enemies.  Also shouldn't that be heretics must drown?

One of the very few anime I'm looking forward to this year.

What I'm looking forward to the most is the final season of Utawarerumono: The Mask of Truth.

I guess it’ll always have a special place in my heart, it was one of the first anime I ever watched (first was High School of the Dead), and I thought it was great.
But then again, I’m easily amused.

I just watched S1:E19 of DS again...it really is a fantastic episode.

I had a print made of a black and white image I made from Castlevania's Trevor vs you know who.

I might do that again for the beheading in this episode.

He also claims the animation for Demon Slayer is trash.  He either has the worst taste of anyone in this thread or he’s just trolling.

I'm easily amused as well and own High School of the Dead. ( Great anime by the way ) I also own the OVA. ( not as good as the anime ) I just didn't find anything funny with Konosuba. The dumb and stupid theme wore off real, real fast.

It’s certainly “different”… I watched maybe four or five episodes but lost interest. Didn’t particularly like the characters or the story, not much of a fan of gangsta themes or sitcoms (which is sorta what it felt like, albeit one with lots of quirks).

Maybe I should have given it more of a chance, but it just didn’t get me all that excited…

Fixed.

I'd not heard this take previously, despite seeing it recommended heavily. Now I'm convinced to watch it because Tarantino is one of my favorite directors in the west.

They have an odd fixation on death, even the most benign show's -let's make a mug, and the new show slow loop (and countless others) involve death to a level that seams 'abnormal'.

Okay, I've watched the first two episodes of Kemono Michi. First episode was meh, until he was summoned. Episode 2 was a little better, but the MC is about as dense as HK. Shigure seems to be the only one with any common sense and I like her " oh look what I found" comments.

I really don't know what to think of it. It's the first anime I've seen where all the evil monsters are loved instead of hated. I'll give it 2 more episodes and see what i think then.

I finished Kemono Michi this week (I always end up avoiding completing an anime because I'm bummed when it's over).  Such a fun show.  I hope it gets a second season.  I'm really enjoying the absurdly funny Isekai series.  The Devil is a Part-Timer, Konosuba, and Kemono Michi are all hilarious.

Started watching Demon Lord season 2. I only held off on it, because someone here grievously described it.  Hmm, I wonder who that could have been that said Shera and Rem were moved to minor char status and were hardly seen? They've been in every episode so far and have had a major presence.

At episode 6 now and I'm enjoying it.

I've read every post in this thread about How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord S2.  No one posted "Shera and Rem were hardly seen."  Multiple people posted that they didn't like how Shera and Rem had a less prominent role than they did in S1 (which, IMO, is a valid criticism), but no one made a serious post claiming that they were hardly seen in the entire season.  Maybe you read it somewhere else.

Personally I thought S1 was one of the funniest and most entertaining Isekai I've seen while S2 was simply "watchable." YMMV.
