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?

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

Hikaru no Go and Chihayafuru work because they're more about the characters than about how the game they're playing works (although in both cases, the anime does take the time to explain the game—I've never played go or karuta, but I had no trouble following what was going on). They take the standard coming-of-age concept (plus a love triangle, in the case of Chihayafuru), and do it well.

I have no intention of trying out Pon no Michi, though, since I have no reason to believe it will be up to the quality of those other series.
