Hope everybody is finding things they like in the new season of anime. It is a Monday, so that means it is time for a new discussion post. Feel free to post questions, comments, criticisms here to your heart’s content. Some thought-provoking examples might be:

  • My kid loves the PreCure series, so I was wondering if “Gushing Over Magical Girls” would be another good show for them to check out.
  • Is the title “Delicious in Dungeon” referring to the food they cook or to how good Falin tastes to the dragon?
  • How does one use healing magic wrong? Can you hurt somebody by doing your magic backwards?

    I hope people are settling into the new year and new season of anime well. I have gotten to watch the premiere of a number of shows. Thought I would provide some quick thoughts below.

    • Delicious in Dungeon - Not fully sold on this one yet, but I am willing to let Trigger cook some more.
    • Gushing Over Magical Girls - Went into this blind and was really glad I was alone and using headphones.
    • Chained Soldier - Watched this after Gushing Over Magical Girls and it felt way tamer than I expected so far given the buzz before the premiere. More is probably coming though given the setup.
    • The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic - Loved seeing Rose and the VA did a great job. I had kind of forgotten a bit of the setup and that Usato was isekai’ed by accident, so it was a good refresher.

    I have yet to watch Solo Leveling or start catching up on Apothecary Diaries, so nothing to say about them yet. Two shows that are starting this week that I am looking forward to Tsuikimichi season 2 and Level 99 Villainous Daughter.

        Hmm, this one was not on my radar at all. I had seen some of the visuals for it and figured it was kind of a slice-of-life having a bird as a pet thing. However, I was not expecting it to be an isekai with magic and what seems to be storylines in both the original world and the fantasy world. As somebody that has consumed more isekai than is healthy for me, you have piqued my interest.

        Looking more, I see that the story is by Buncololi. Ages ago I read a good portion of the webnovel for Tanaka the Wizard and it was genuinely very funny (and very lewd). So, I am going to check this out.

          I gotta admit, I was pretty checked out until the fantasy stuff started. They just kept adding and adding. I personally liked that the main character was suspicious of everything about his new “job” until orientation.

          Yes, I am really liking this first episode of S to P-chan for the reasons that you described.
