Started Classroom of the Elite and 3 episodes in. I know this is the Kaiji in me speaking since I just finished Kaiji, but this show reminds me of a fusion of Kaiji and Assassination Classroom.
The main three characters are carbon copies of the main three characters in My Highschool Romcom is Fucked Up As Expected. Except the one girl is more of a bitch than just being called a bitch.

Well I've never watched that, so it shouldn't affect me lol.

This is the problem I'm having reading the Fate/Strange Fake LN. I see their picture once in the opening page, then forget their name and what they look like. Not to mention the characters who don't have any images so I distract myself trying to form an image of them in my head, then forget what's happening in the LN lol.

For the first time ever, Toei was able to officially reveal the upcoming series' Precure designs without them leaking out beforehand. But now they're revealed for all to see, and while I don't like them as much as Tropical-Rouge's designs from last year, I do like them. Yellow seems like the cutest to me based on first impressions, plus I'm intrigued about that dollar-store-brand Tuxedo Mask in the back. How long has it been since we had a male human(-like) supporting character playing a major role in a Precure series? It's been a few years at least.

I like what I've read of Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU so I'm guessing I'll like this as well?

Anyway, I'm on a Nisioisin binge since that humble bundle came out last month. Just got pretty boy detective club left to read, and possibly a Monogatari reread (though today I did binge a lot of second season which I'm watching for the first time). Otherwise I'm watching the dubs of mieruko Chan and my senpai is annoying and waiting for the final two eps of 86 to come out

Not quite the same beast, the characters are awfully similar in traits but the concept itself isn't the same.

I don't know if these names loop around to being "so bad they're hilarious" or if they're just cringeworthy. But yeah, definitely a food-themed season.

Pink's VA is a total rookie (doesn't even have an entry on MAL) and blue's VA has only been around for a few years with very few main roles. The yellow one is voiced by Yuka Iguchi, and there's also an unnamed villain-looking character (and potential candidate to be a late-joining Cure) voiced by Ai Kayano, both of whom are pretty big names. The Symphogear fan in me is very happy about these casting choices.

Finished Lupin Part IV. Ended up being a pretty good, solid series. There was a scattering of more boring episodes but they were outnumbered by the good ones. Main story was pretty decent too.

I liked Nyx and Akechi Holmes was pretty entertaining, kind of hoping they pop up again the subsequent series. I'll probably watch the next part within the next month or so.

Yeah, it slightly confused me too a bit. Especially the whole "Dream of Italy" and what exactly it was and how exactly it worked. I understood it when I first saw the episode introducing it but I forgot the finer details a couple of days later, and just remembered the gist. Was it implanting dead people's personalities into other people, or just making them "come back to life" in some sort of subconcious dream world? Or both? Doesn't seem like a big deal, but it tends to bother me when I don't remember every detail of something. I would've just rewatched it but I didn't feel like getting the other disc and putting it back in which I guess is a disadvantage of actual physical media.

What also threw me off is that MI6 was after the research, but they already seemed to understand it pretty well if they managed to "bring back" Da Vinci.

Overall I did like it too though.

I have a question for you all.

Does it annoy you when a mediocre anime (or what you view as mediocre) ends up having some undeserved praise and is raised above its quality?

Is it irrational for me and my wife to kinda hate Attack on Titan for taking the spotlight away from MUCH BETTER anime? I mean, I get that at the end of the day that some of it is subjective but like... SAO has this absolutely massive undeserved love in comparison to DOZENS of other isekai anime that are objectively better than it. And that pisses me off and I realize it is somewhat ridiculous but like... watch something better. Get better tastes. XD

I kinda feel the same way about AoT, but I've seen nothing but scorn online for SAO

also meh, people can like whatever they want, I usually just drop in with some obscure, esoteric recommendation myself

Honestly, doesn't really bother me. I like what I like, and others are free to do the same.

Starting watching Drifters. This is pretty strange so far. The setting/concept isn't anything too weird but the "funny" "comedy" moments give it this bizarre atmosphere. That's also how I can tell it's by the Hellsing guy.

Just in the way that I know its going to result in low hanging garbage getting multiple seasons while good stuff never gets another season.

I reeaaaally wish they would tone down the comedy moments with characters screaming rants at each other, but Drifters is fairly cool. Basically a bunch of historical figures get isekaid into a fantasy world and have to help the inhabitants fight an opposing group of historical figures who lead a monster army. As a result you get some fairly cool shit like Oda Nobunaga helping train and arm some elves to pull off a Seven Samurai-esque defense of their village against troops from the evil empire.

The awkward comedy does really wear out its welcome though. A couple of lines did get a chuckle out of me however.

Also started watching Hinamatsuri, which Ive never seen anyone talking about.

I'll give it a couple more episodes but the female lead wasn't all that appealing to me, so not sure if I would enjoy a romance show about her and the MC (at least, that is what I'm assuming it develops into).

Finished the second season of Zetsubou Sensei. It managed to melt my brain even more than the first season. To say this show is a total shitpost is an understatement. This show is Pop Team Epic levels of shitpost. It might even go beyond (Plus Ultra) Pop Team Epic in sheer shitpostery. If I didn't shut my brain down each and every episode, it might burn out for good. This show manages to be offensive to all 5 senses and even 3 additional senses that don't exist. In a good way, though.

Have to complain about the subs though. All of season 1 and the first half of season 2, every piece of text on screen was subbed perfectly and thouroughly. They clearly put a lot of effort into making everything perfect. And this show has a LOT of on screen text. I'm talking needing to pause every 5 seconds to see everything. I can't think of a SoL that has this much text, either for gags, or w/e. But halfway through season 2 it just.... stopped. Maybe someone else started subbing from there on or something, but not a single piece of written text was subbed for the later half of the season. Title cards and signs are one thing, but there is literally a character that doesn't speak whatsoever and only communicates through emails. And these idiot subbers aren't even subbing those anymore. There was a 10 minute chunk in the final episode all about her and I didn't get ANYTHING from it because not one thing was subbed. With all the text in this show, it feels like the second half of the season I was only watching half a show.

When I start season 3, if the first episode is the same bullcrap with the written text, I'm just gonna drop the series and not even bother with the final season.
