I'm not going to be exhaustively covering everything I've watched since my last update, there's simply been too much It's just what I've most recently watched and what's current.
I added to watched listed two early 2010s serieses, Cat Planet Cuties and Is This A Zombie?. Both are fun but the latter a lot of Politically Incorrect humor that hasn't aged well.
I also finally watched the second season of the original Tenchi Muyo OVAs and did another rewatch of Serial Experiments Lain.
There are a few Spring 2023 shows I started but decided not to continue. For three of them however it's not that I considered anything in them Bad their appeal to me personally was simply limited, those are Galaxy Next Door, The Reason Why Raeliana ended up at the Duke's Mansion and Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts. The latter of those has a fun set up combining qualities of Beauty and The Beast with the legend of the Minotaur. Raeliana looks great and has great performances from the Dub cast.
So I'm currently following 10 shows, only 3 of which I'm watching Subbed.
Yuri is My Job is doing a good job at producing Memes for the Yuri Fandom. Magical Destroyers features a very Rage Against the Machine inspired Magical Girl. And Soaring Sky PreCure has kept me watching longer then any PreCure series since Hugtto which is good.
For the Simuldubs two second seasons for shows from the past that I've chosen to praise in defiance of pretention AniTubers, In Another World With My Smartphone and In/Spectre. Each is mostly holding up to season 1 though for Smartphone some Dub recastings are bugging me a bit depending on the episode.
For the truly new shows, The Aristocrats Otherworldly Adventure is the most standard Isekai and so I'm not really gonna recommend it. KamiKaitsu is that was fun from the start but really changes the Game with the reveals in Episode 5. Dead Mount Deathplay is another addition to the genre of Anime staring Villains who aren't all that villainous.
Gundam: Witch From Mercury is in season 2 now and it's still pretty good, most Gundam isn't able to engage me, so this is proving to be special.
Tengoku Daimakyou is only officially known by that name even for the English Dub on Hulu but you may referred to sometimes as Heavenly Delusion. For this I am gonna need Spoiler some things I what I want to say next. But in-spite of the negatively of the coming Rant overall the first 4 episodes of the show have been pretty good.
Spoiler Alert!
At the end of episode 2 I really naively just took at face value that I'd just a Trans masculine coming out scene. But then episode 3 is all about how now they're just a Cis Male's brain in a Cis Female's body. And I really hate when these kinds of SciFi gender bending weirdness are what Trans viewers have to settle for. This is why I prefer the Netflix Live Action Bebop's take on Gren and why I don't watch Escaflowne.
I like Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl because the unstated implication there is that the main character was a Trans Girl all along. Same with the character of Karnatia Seri Anabald from So I'm a Spider, So What.
The kind of situation this show has created however can't work real representation. In fact I bet Terfs if they saw it would have a field day over the show needing to Fridge a Cis Woman in order to create a pseudo Trans Masculine character.
