Seasonal anime I'm watching:

• Dungeon Meshi: I liked the first two episodes, they're well animated and Marcille is my favorite character. Netflix has wrong colors as usual, so I would recommend alternative sources.
• Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete: idk about this one, I'm not into bdsm and I doubt it will improve much. Censored audio with uncensored video is a weird choice.
• Metallic Rouge: I was a bit disappointed, the world feels generic but it's too soon to judge.
• Sengoku Youko: I'll trust Mizukami's fans and watch a couple more episodes, but the first one was just an average shounen.
• Urusei Yatsura: it's back and the new OP and ED are beautiful! I love the animation, the dumb characters, the 80s style. Imo underrated and underwatched.
• Yubisaki to Renren: the surprise of the season for me, it's super cute and I'm glad to see a romance show with university students vs the usual high schoolers.

I'm also watching:

• Sousou no Frieren, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto and Undead Unluck continuing from the last season. Great shows, especially the first two.
• Taiho Shichauzo: simple episodic fun to turn off the brain. Natsumi is best girl. The first four episodes were distributed in OVA format and have much better animation.
• Turn A Gundam: I wanted to give Gundam a second chance after Suisei no Majo and was attracted by the unique artstyle and plot. I'm only at episode 11 and it's already an incredible series. I'll definitely watch 0078 and go in order after this one.
• Hoshikuzu Telepath: I dropped it last season but decided to finish it. An average CGDCT show with an introvert protagonist and rockets.

I'm new to Lemmy and subscribed to talk about anime, manga and foss. I've been a lurker on Reddit for ~5 years with very few posts and left after the whole API shitshow. I'll try my best to be active and help grow the community!

Edit: I forgot Dosanko Gal wa Namaramenkoi which I decided to drop. I looks like the usual romcom formula with a self insert protagonist, a designated "winner" from the start and a harem. The animation is nothing special, slightly worse than average.

The Motocompo is such a cool concept! I discovered it thanks to Taiho Shichauzo.

One of Tachiyomi contributors will fork the app and continue development

This first episode was a bit disappointing for me. The production values are good (as expected from Bones), but the plot and world didn't seem very original to me. I'll watch at least 2-3 more episodes.

I'm excited for this one since it's from the same author of Hyouka. Lapin Track isn't Kyoani, but Undead Girl Murder Farce animation was solid.

I didn't expect to see Yubisaki to Renren so high but it's deserved, the first episode was really good.
