What is this? Never heard of it...
Fairly unpopular but good 'slice of life' mystery seinen set in a Victorian mansion. People like comparing it to the good part of the Promised Neverland, but I wouldn't know since I haven't read/watched that. If that's not enough to hook you in, I have just two words for you: 'adorable gothlolis'.

Can't help thinking that there's hordes of grownups well into their 30's and 40's watching what's basically a children's anime with Shaman King. I mean, sure, it was one of my childhood anime too so I just wanted to see the remake, but my goodness does it feel kinda awkward and out of place to do so at my age. It's not like it's bad either, just the tropes and the general shonenistic style. I quite like the quirkiness though.
Damn man, most of the things we discuss here on this board is for teenagers, just get over it. 20 years ago it might've been awkward, but we live in a world where nerds won, for example grown ups make a living by playing imaginary characters in games with monsters and dragons. So you can fawn over all the "kids shows" you want  Too late for second thoughts!
I like your thinking, Blob.  The only thing missing from the new Shaman King in my view is the Romanian dubbing. Sadly, I don't think it will be done this time, but I'll try to enjoy it without.

One piece
Raftel was Laugh Tale all along. Oda has been bamboozling us and getting away for twenty years.
From the preview it seems next episode will be about Roger's execution.
Damn, this flashback has been the best part of the series since the WC arc. Well, the Reverie intermissions have been good as well, but this easily tops anything that has happened in Wano so far.

Kumo desu
SpoilersShe's addicted to grinding EXP. And a ghastly cannibalic murder machine. And yet she's still an adorable waifu.
This time around it's obvious who that little vampire girl is 15 years later.

Finished Nichijou and gave it a 9/10. Some moments had me laughing way too hard. I disliked the professor, most bratty and stupid kid in the entire history of anime. But the rest was great.
Fumetsu seems to be getting a lot of attention, it's probably down my alley too. I strongly feel I should be watching it. Already have to catch up on Hero Academia and Shaman King, didn't find the time to follow more closely.
Don't know if I should watch Kumo. Is it good?

Give it a try, it's crazy but in a good sense (especially the protag). There are times when you literally feel her pain and how unfogiving her stuggles are (at least in the first half of the show). My only beef with it is the sometimes horrendous CGI, but stuff is happening so fast you mostly don't even notice.
It's one of the most original isekai currently and it does keep you interested with it's plot (and how it jumps back and forth between past and present) and characters. If you're an RPG nerd there's also a nice touch with all those skill and ability point systems which are part of the world-building (the protag figuring out what she should pick next is a story point in itself). The silly premise turned out to be one of the series strongest points actually.

Well, alright. First episode down and I'm getting slime vibes. That ED though.
EDIT: Ep. 5, this is the greatest thing ever. I love it!
*Kumo spoilers*
EDIT: Ep. 7, okay. ****'s getting real good and I can only hope it doesn't let up. What was the purpose of that little announcement there? "Developer made a skill just for you cuz of your big mouth". Nani tf?! And of course the spidey catches on and it gives shivers down her spine. Who's out there watching?
OR, there's no god at the wheel as suggested and it's just an automated system writing scripts and evolving the game itself. Either way, I'm into it. I like where it's going.
EDIT: Ep. 14, I caught up. Never mind the theory above, I just called it a night and went to sleep with those musings. But it seems there's an actual dev.
Aaaaanyway, isn't the spider actually the most OP character right now? And by right now I mean present day, because it seems the anime is a bit weird about time and when events happened. Like, present day it's about the hero and the spider is a bit in the past? It's all pretty interesting.
But yea, I was saying about OP levels. Wasn't the fact that she got to be a monster a big thing? Probably won the reincarnation lottery and doesn't even know it! Who cares about humans when they're so limited?

I think it's safe to assume that all the events with hero's death happened a bit before Kumoko left underground or a bit after. So currently there is a human-demons war and Kumoko fighting with "mother" happens a bit before hero Julius was killed I think (I still think her participation in the war was teased already and if that is true she still needs to power up a bit). I also think the "outer-worlders" started from the same point in time, after reincarnation they were born to the world (at least that's what I'm getting from what they say and how well attuned to the world they are already by the time we meet them).
I don't think Kumoko's strongest. Yet. Judging by the second opening she will confront the female Demon Lord who probably killed the hero (I also have a strong feeling she's one of the reincarnated). Both storylines will eventually connect and Kumoko will play a big role in the other "outer-worlders" lives.
*End spoilers*
Odd Taxi is slowly becoming my favourite series of this season. Who would've guessed that a slice of life with "funny animals" will interest me so.

I gave Fumetsu a try. It's quite good, but the first episode was pretty depressing. I was not ready for that.
*Kumo minor spoilers*
That spider queen is absolutely gigantic. I would be upset if it got defeated like Araba. There is just no way. I am already concerned because she seems to be killing Arch spiders which are higher in tier like it's nothing. It's fairly upsetting at this point. It used to be a lot more thrilling.

Technically not an anime but everything Crunchyroll does is somewhat based on japanese animation.
Pretty interesting, mainly due to Mesoamerican myths which are crazy and not that well represented in animation. Quite a lot action and interesting characters but the dialogues are odd and confusing - sometimes don't even make sense (like they were written by a teenager). Don't know who the target demographic is supposed to be as there is a lot of blood and gore plus even occasional sex (tits and penises too) while the protags are almost all teenagers. Not relevant, just curious.

Has some interesting parts and I appreciate the cultural influences but it doesn't really deliver. The mc is also a whiny brat.
You're probably right, whole thing feels like made by teens for teens. Edgy teens

Alright, just watched the first episode of Hige wo Soru. Sosnowe Joshikousei wo Hirou. and I suddenly feel the necessity of having a teenage high school girl cook for me and do my laundry. It would only be a natural progression in my life.
