New #anime this season, so far:

  • Ikoku Nikki / Journal with Witch: a 35 year old writer takes in a 15 year old orphan. So far my favorite #ikokunikki #journalwithwitch

  • Wash It All Away: slice of life about an amnesiac who runs a laundry shop. Eh. Contains fan service and a potential age gap het romance? :/ Might drop #washitallaway

  • Case Book of Arne: detective mystery with... a vampire, a zombie and a talking pig demon? Undecided #casebookofarne

  • Isekai Office Worker: The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter: a gay (BL) isekai with a workaholic office drone MC? I'm intrigued. Hopefully, his love interest can help him unclench #beancounter

New #anime this season, continued:

  • I'll Live a Long Life to Dote on My Favorite Stepbrother!: another BL isekai. But this one runs 4 minutes an episode, with minimal Flash-style animation. And the reincarnated is a child, and his love interest his new stepbrother? Eeeeeh.... #favoritestepbrother

  • The Demon King's Daughter Is Too Kind!!: the demon king wants to rule the whole world. He just has a small problem: his infant daughter. She's just too kind and cute and wants to help. This is just really adorable. Also one of my favorites so far #demonkingsdaughter #maounomusume

New #anime this season, continued:

  • SHIBOYUGI: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table: basically a poor man's Saw. MC is grinding escape rooms where people get dismembered or gruesomely killed on the regular #deathgames #shiboyugi

Like, everyone chained to a wall with sawblades descending and they only have one keyring to quickly pass around

Drop

New #anime this season, continued:

  • The Holy Grail of Eris: a shy noble girl is helped to stand up for herself by the ghost of an executed delinquent. In exchange, she's going to help her get revenge? Not sure yet, could go either way #holygrailoferis #eris #theholdygrailoferis

  • Roll Over and Die: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword: MC is booted from the hero's party because she has all stats 0. Sold into slavery. But: her special ability is Reversal, so a cursed sword the slaver gives her as "entertaining" buffs her. Undediced. #rolloveranddie

Like, it annoys me that so far, basically everyone in the world of Roll Over and Die is an arsehole

And with how she's treated everywhere and the premise... reminds me of revenge exploitation movies like I Spit on Your Grave

On the other hand... with the handholding between the two MCs, that signals a #yuri romance

New #anime this season, continued:

  • Champignon Witch: a Black Witch lives alone, goes into the nearby town infrequently. She's feared, because she sprouts poisonous mushrooms and the people don't understand that that's the byproduct of her filtering evil from the air #champignonwitch #champignonnomajo

One day, she sees a boy who makes her heart beat

From the cover image, I thought that might be yuri-ish too. But no, that's actually a young boy (but not her love interest)

And the show itself is painfully straight

The animation is rather...rudimentary. And there's alpha blending artifacts around the witch in the OP

That's also probably a drop

New #anime this season, continued:

- Does It Count If You Lose Your Innocence to an Android?: an office drone in her late 20s drunk-buys a sex robot... And yeah, this is smut, blatantly so. It's not *quite* so explicit to be called hentai, but it certainly goes right to the line

It's also a short one, 8 episodes a 4 minutes

It *is* based on a manga, and from a few reviews I read, the anime seems to speedrun the plot to get to the juicy scenes, leaving behind the humor and charme of the original story. I haven't read the manga, so I can't say, but that does sound unfortunate

(Not really) new #anime this season, continued:

- Gnosia: the Werwolf game in space, with time loops. This is a continuation from last season, it's a 2 cour anime #gnosia

Still pretty fun and interesting, and was one of my favorites last season

New #anime this season, continued:

- Kaya-chan Isn't Scary: Kaya is a kindergartner, but she's also a psychic and can see all the ghosts and monsters haunting the world, haunting the kindergarten. So she protects her peers, but constantly gets into trouble for it #kayachankowakunai #kayachanwakowakunai

Both cute and scary
