Update: I’ve now watched the available episodes of Berserk of Gluttony and Ragna Crimson. Both are good fun.

Berserk of Gluttony so far has not been much more than an edgy fantasy power-fantasy. But it’s executed well and has been enjoyable. I think it’s a little darker than the typical power-fantasy. The bad-guys are laughably evil and I’m not sure if the plot is going anywhere interesting.

Ragna Crimson is more story focused. I supposed this show also has the makings of a power-fantasy, but it has not leaned too heavily into the wish fulfillment aspect. The characters are more interesting. The bad-guys are also laughably evil here, but in a way that’s more pure (literally being monsters helps, I guess), and thus a bit more horrifying. Every reward has a price, and you often do not know what that price actually is.


Hm, I had written off Ragna Crimson and Berserk of Gluttony based on instinct, but it looks like they might be worth a try.


Watch “Skip and Loafer”

It was nice to get an overview of all the airing anime.

I can confirm that Jujutsu Kaisen and Mushoku Tensei are bangers.

I just watched the first 3 episodes of Reign of the Seven Spellblades because he was enthusiastic about it, but I didn’t find it particularly good. I’d definitely place it lower than Bungo Stray Dogs. I’ll continue watching it for now.

I want to give Undead Murder Farce a watch, but I have a feeling it’ll be better to binge it once the season has finished.

I wasn’t even aware of Zom 100 or Link Click, some more to watch in the future.

I haven’t watched Dark Gathering. I’m skeptical, but I’m willing to give it try.

I can confirm My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even At Level 1 is trash and mildly enjoyable. Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero sounds like it’s worth trying out.

As for The Duke of Death and His Maid, I didn’t find the first season interesting enough for me to watch the second. I didn’t even think the CGI looked that bad, I just never felt particularly interested in the contents. The OP song for season 1 was great, though.

Masamune-kun’s Revenge R is a show I thought I’d watch, but then I saw that I had actually rated the first season a score of 6 on MyAnimeList (which is a barely-not-dropped score for me). So, I decided to hold off. I’ll watch it if it has favorable reviews when it finishes.
