It’s a pretty fun whodunnit.
There’s one aspect - that’s critical to the whole story - that annoys me though, enough for me to consider dropping it.

There’s one aspect - that’s critical to the whole story - that annoys me though, enough for me to consider dropping it.
I’m planning to watch the following TV series:
i.e. most likely watch to completion
i.e. good chance of watching to the end, depending on how it goes
i.e. probably drop after a few episodes, but there may be a few surprises
Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions - season 2
deleted by creator
should still be bullied a little bit. Maybe not as far as back in my day, but definitely don’t be encouraging that. I like anime but that’s not normal nor should it be normal
Why? Is it because they are different from others? Surely them doing their own thing don’t hurt you personally.
Completed the following:
Heard plenty of praises for it before. It moved up my priority queue thanks to the latest manga chapters.
It is good as expected and I can see why everyone likes Marin. In fact, I’d say she carried the show quite a bit. Wakana does not have as much of an impact but he’s decent too.
Like most other seinen romances that I’ve consumed, there’s a lack of unnecessary drama. For example, at the end of episode 10
it looked like Wakana was going to cause a rift in their relationship over a small issue. I thought the episode is going to end with a looming drama as a cliff-hanger, which I’d find annoying. But Marin just straight-up spoke up about it, crushing the drama before it even begin, all in a span of one minute.
Those shounen and shoujo romances can learn from this (though at that point, they would probably be considered seinen and jousei).
It’s among my potential top favourites at the moment (i.e. score of 9 / 10). Looking forward to the next season.
Coincidentally, I picked up the manga The Story of a Succubus Who Came to the Human World. It looks like it’s inspired (or referenced) by the succubus manga from My Dress-Up Darling. Real cute and wholesome.
WorldEnd: What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?
Kinda like Captain America but in a fantasy world.
This anime surprisingly fulfills many of my criteria for a Gundam-like show. At one point, I was half-expecting the talisman to float around and attack enemies like funnels / dragoons / gund bits.
Not sure if it’s because the anime tried to adapt too much of the source material in too few episodes, but I find that there’s a lack of explanation and depth when it comes to characterization and world-building.
Due to its flaws, I’ve gotta give it a 7 or 8 / 10
Finally! A time lapse (is that the right term?) that is not a slideshow!
Even though the story begins with your typical kicked-out-from-party premise, I enjoyed it; not sure why.
Perhaps it is because the MC isn’t someone transferred to this world. (which I find rather unnecessary of similar stories, where MC’s life before isekai is irrelevant).
Edit: After thinking about it, it may be because the MC actually has a goal that he is working towards / purpose in life, which gave me something to root for.
If the anime is popular enough to go far, I’m curious to see if it will adapt the manga version or the web novel / source (or light novel if there’s one?)
Either way,
blue hair mage wins, which is nice.
Looking forward to this anime.
Have you watched the sequel movies yet?
Yeah, they are all great
I think it would be better to just lean into the supernatural, but…I am a professional physicist.
I bet it’s like watching hacking scenes as a programmer.
The rest of the cast appear to be adults though.
One child among numerous adults satisfy the definition of “mostly adult cast of characters” that OP asked for IMO.
how much time it spends on the MC’s youth
The rest of the cast are adults though, which fits the “mostly adult cast” requirement IMO
Oh yeah, her classmates. They are so unmemorable that I forgot about them😅
Moving it down to honorable mention
Maybe I missed the joke, but it’s ended
Oh cool, thanks. Time to pick it up again.
I placed it on hold because season 1 didn’t have a conclusive ending. I’d rather binge everything at once.
86
The main cast would have grown into adults later on, and based how what’s released of the anime so far, I wouldn’t count it as “mostly” adults.
DOTA: Dragons Blood
Is the series ending anytime?
I’ve completed quite a few:
Honorable mentions - depends on how strictly you’d define “mostly”:
Honorable mentions - unique circumstances:
I might watch it alongside Makeine, which of them should I start first?
They are quite different, so it’s really up to you.
I find that Makeine is very similar to Makoto Shinkai’s works in terms of art style, soundtracks and humour.
I would say the most similar anime to 100 Girlfriends is Gintama, though season 1 is really just a preview of the bullshit to come.
You’ve watched quite a bit of anime, so we have a fair amount of overlaps. Unlike me, you are more generous when scoring (no 1s and 2s!) and you have a more diverse taste in anime.
As such, I won’t be able to recommend anime based on a particular theme / genre - unless you have something in mind?
I’ll just point out my favourites that are not in your completed list, though I won’t be surprised if some of them are already in your PTW list.
P.S.
Not among my top favourites at the moment, but worth adding to your PTW list if you haven’t done so already IMO; I should have filtered out those that you’ve completed:
Shoujo Kakumei Utena
I’ve heard that Gundam: Witch from Mercury bears a lot of similarities to Utena. I’ve yet to watch Utena myself though.
Based on the difference between average score and my rating on AniList, some of my favourite underrated anime of 2020s are (from largest to smallest delta):
