39. Roll Over and Die
An insult to life itself.

38. The Daily Life of a Part Time Torturer
Haha. Torturing people is so funny. Just… why do we need this…?

37. High School! Kimengumi
Haha. Maybe it will be funny if we scream louder.

36. Dead Account
Exorcists fight ghosts in phones. This started off bad enough, but now they’re about to go to school. *cries*

35. Hell Mode: The Hardcore Gamer
Another pointless isekai where the whole first episode is a 35 year old man as a baby.

34. Hana-Kimi
A girl stalks an athlete she admires to the point of transferring to a school in another country. How romantic!

33. Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling
I love looking at status screens. So boring.

32. The Darwin Incident
You all have to look up the premise for this. Shockingly not the worst show this season. Which is honestly disappointing in and of itself. Still awful of course.

31. A Misanthrope Teaches a Class for Demi-Humans
Boring…

30. Kaya-chan Isn’t Scary
Absolutely not my kind of show…

29. In the Clear Moonlit Dusk
Yeah, no thank you…

28. The Villainess is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom
The villainess gets dumped. Don’t worry, a hot prince teleports in ten seconds later to be her new husband. Why even bother with this lengthy premise…

27. Wash It All Away
A cute girl does laundry. Definitely not for me.

26. Oedo Fire Slayer -The Legend of Phoenix-
Firefighting! Again, not my thing…

25. Dark Moon: Blood Altar Animation with Enhypen
Bishounen at school. I was bored.

24. Tamon’s B-Side
Why are there so many shows this season with creepy premises? Somehow this one, with the fangirl becoming her idols housekeeper, is one of the less creepy actually.

23. Noble Reincarnation: Born Blessed, So I’ll Obtain Ultimate Power
Honestly wasn’t terrible, but I’ve been here a million times by now…

22. Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers
Had some interesting ideas, I guess, but seemed kind of nasty… Could be convinced to try more…

21. The Case Book of Arne
Kids with supernatural powers solve mysteries. Seemed decent enough, but probably not my thing.

20. The Demon King’s Daughter is Too Kind!
This was adorable. Especially loved the insert song. Sadly I’m too old to fully enjoy it however…

19. An Adventurer’s Daily Grind at Age 29
Another cute one.

18. The Holy Grail of Eris
This was terrible, but it’s probably my kind of terrible…

17. Jack of All Trades, Party of None
On the one hand, this show kind of sucked. On the other hand, the older sister is cute. So who can say if this is good or bad?

16. Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord
Generic but honestly pretty solid isekai. Will give this a second episode at least. Does involve slavery though… (why…? *sigh*)

15. Kunon the Sorcerer Can See
It does suffer from many of the typical isekai shortcomings, but the blind protagonist makes things more interesting. Well made and looks nice too.

14. The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife
This was pretty cute… Not entirely sure it will keep my interest for a whole season but we’ll see!

13. A Gentle Noble’s Vacation Recommendation
Love the vibes here. Supposedly it’s not BL, but it sure seems like BL.Great main characters!

12. Love Through a Prism
Only watched the first episode. I wasn’t gripped, but the different enough set up in London and all made me interested enough to keep going.

11. There was a Cute Girl in the Hero’s Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her
This was interesting! I like the art style. Also like the main two’s relationship, and seems like it will have enough conflict to keep things interesting.

10. Scum of the Brave
I feel like this could easily go downhill, but I enjoyed the start at least.

9. Tune in to Midnight Heart
This is so dumb, I love it. The Who Is Imouto of voice acting. I especially love how he wants to find the girl he confessed his love to, not so he can get together with her, but so he can make sure she doesn’t use his love confession recording to blackmail him. Great premise.

8. You and I Are Polar Opposites
Super cute! Love this manga too.

7. Champignon Witch
Beautiful art and soundtrack. Slightly disturbing. Great first episode.

6. You Can’t Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!
You can’t tell me what to do! You all know, I hate childhood friends, but this one was good. Fairly trashy. Tons of conflict. No one is honest about their feelings. Ahhh I feel refreshed.

5. Isekai Office Worker: The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter
Oh this was fun! Accountants will save the world! It’s BL so hard to say if I will manage to finish but definitely sticking with it for now!

4. Fate/strange Fake’
It’s Fate, of course I’ll watch it. I watched a movie a while ago which I think this repeated parts of, so of course it looks very good. Curious if that will hold.

3. Shiboyugi: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table
This was beautiful and superbly crafted. I also hated it and am not going to watch it. I need some escapism now. I can’t deal with this death game nonsense.

2. Sentenced to Be a Hero
A fantasy show, that’s not in generic isekai world, and actually has an interesting setting? Thanks be to God.

1. Journal with Witch
First episode made me cry. This rules.

Anything good I glossed over?
