Started off feeling really strong, but found myself dropping a lot of stuff. On the fence about Dedede Demons since it feels like it could be interesting or just boring bait. This season of Yuru Camp /_\ has been good. Not as strong as S1 but much more fun than S2. 7th Prince toes a line but has been fun. Jellyfish Can't Swim is really good though maybe one or two clunky episodes. Re:Monster started off interesting but by episode 2 or 3 it was clearly an edgy self insert desire fest built on rape and 'hur hur me MC', so... fuck that show.
I've watched maybe 60 to 70% of what has aired this season and it's been an okay season anime. Some surprises and returns to excellence (Sound! being back was nice). But also a lot of unmemorable shows that hovered around a 5 or 6.
Agree about Re:Monster. It front-loaded all the appealing world building, and then gave up for self-insert tropes.
I ended up dropping the manga back when I checked it out for the same reason. The author clearly came up with an interesting premise, but then couldn't figure out how to keep it interesting as they kept writing.
