Finished up assassin isekai and it was fine. I'll watch a season 2 if there is one. This is one case where I wish the isekai would actually lean MORE into it's gimmick. The supporting characters are all boring IMO and even lugh isn't very interesting aside from being an assassin but the idea of trying to assassinate an overpowered hero is exciting and we basically don't see any of that at all in the first season. Also a little weird I see rudy getting flack for perving on underage girls in mushoku tensei but no one bats an eye at this like 70 year old man romancing his 14 year old cousin.

Oh right, I also read whats out of beginning after the end webtoon/manwha/whatever it is (not the book). It's pretty solid although not to the same level as mushoku tensei IMO. The characters do have some depth to them but they just aren't as interesting so far. Still, I'll probably keep reading it (by which I mean, forget about it for a year or two and then catch up). I do like that worlds magic system with augmenters and conjurers and core colors. The beast will thing is a bit much and static void is a bit TOO broken IMO. I also like how it focuses a fair bit on skill and application of power rather than just raw power. Art is typically at a lower core level than the people he is massively overpowering but it's because he has a solid understanding of physics and mana application. That's a nice touch. I do feel like the show leans a bit too far into the corrupt noble thing. Like, every two seconds Art stumbles into some asshole corrupt noble about to permanently maim or kill some innocent person and these characters have no depth or logic and exist just to be defeated by our just protagonist.

I'm a bit behind on Komi because it's just not really grabbing me. Of all the recent big name manga that would never get an anime but finally did actually get one, nagatoro is the only one I get the hype for. So while Komi is watchable, I can't help but be disappointed. I think part of the issue is that Komi isn't actually making friends with anybody except main guy and the childhood friend of uncertain gender. She isn't actually forging any kind of connection with those other people and for the most part can't even communicate with them. I also feel like a lot of the comedy is just the same punchline but again. Like oh wow, look how crazy all the students are, aren't they crazy, they are so crazy, it's just crazy how crazy and quirky everyone is. So yeah, I really don't understand why the manga for this was so hyped. It's not that funny, the romance doesn't progress, Komi is like B tier cute at best, and half of every episode is just awkward silence.
