    Frieren and Apothecary Diary is basically my peaceful adventure this season, two anime about basically daily problem while the bigger problem unfolding slowly in the background, Watching Frieren reminiscing her past adventure while having a new one combined with Mao Mao solving various sometimes weird problem and mystery as well as navigating through rigid social barrier and stay out of trouble (although pointless) is really engaging, Both of them provides balanced slow daily life stuffs and heavy plot unfolding in a way that's really engaging and intriguing. Guess I'm set all the way to New Year since both of them have 20+ episodes

    This season really has tons and tons of shows to watch. Grateful that Garnt goes to the trouble of making these videos as it allows a show that I skimmed over to get a second chance, but it's also fun to see shows that he's made videos about before, Frieren and Shadow, getting another spotlight and seeing the man happy about them. May it distract him from whatever animal anime comes next...

    100 Girlfriends really gets elevated to greatness by its premise. Where in most other Harem Animes the protagonist is either a completely clueless idiot or an actual sociopath, 100 Girlfriends made its protagonist be a kind-hearted boy who quite literally has to date 100 girls at once or else the girls all die miserably. But does he use that as an excuse to neglect or ignore his girlfriends? Nope, the chad literally tries his best to love all of his girlfriends equally. And because he's such a sweet, genuine guy, all of the girlfriends agree to this. ALL OF THEM.

      Average harem protagonist: *either dense, or actively prevent from developing his romantic feelings towards any of the girls*
      100 GF protagonist: *vows to make every single one of his GFs happy, and actually tries his best*
      100GF really is the kinda show that I won't mind to watch 4-5 seasons of.

I do know it's for laughs and sh!t, but I just can't seem to like it. The more I read it, the more i suffer from cringe. Only managed to go up to chap 17. It's even more cringer than the isekai bullshits I've seen. U can read it if u are a harem guy or waifu guy or whatever.

      Ive been looking forward to Frieren since i heard about it is a rare genre that it's even rarer that its done well. That genre being a slow thoughtful show that explores an idea or concept.
      Try the 2004 Kino no Tabi for another example of this done well (not the 2017 version). It like Frieren is a masterpiece in this genre but one i personally hold to higher regard. (the Dub is also extremely good and is one of the very few shows id say the Dub is better as it allows for you to focus on the world and it was done before the mass dubbing using the same voice actors).

      Now I kinda want to see someone make a full parody for 100 Girlfriends, because that protag genuinely radiates the same kinda “wait, quantum mechanics allows this?!” energy as speedrunners.
      “Normally, the game has a pity system, and if you roll enough rejections with high karma, you’ll get a guaranteed success. However, the game stores this as an unsigned int, and takes a few frames to properly reset the flags. As such, if a runner could activate two proposals at once, he could cause an underflow glitch, granting 255 guaranteed successful proposals.
      This… is the Tenchi maneuver”

      My english is terrible btw im not a writer just an Isekai idea (no magic or it can be just read the last idea I thought)
      (Before isekaied) First it show his life growing up in technological era.his life goes like this he grow up with loving family taking care of him.loved by everyone goes through a lot of struggle and hardship.he grow up to be father he love is his family,life and he want to see them grow he is happy.... Until one day he died cause of laboratory accident killing him.his though process when he is dieing he feel sad,scared,worried and angry because of his happy life is ending without seeing his family son wife daughter growing up like their first day at school,college,graduation,marriage and their life happy
      (He died)
      At this part he see a vision seeing some light first he thought he is alive feeling happy until he try to move his hand normally but it feel to weird the he saw that his hand is small with his blurry vision then he try to touch his face he feel the touch from his face and hand later realizing that when the accident happened his hand is dicapitated with the current technology they aren't able to create such and organic hand with sensory feel(note:idk if we r able to do this in era)then he try to talk but unable to do so.he starting to feel scared, anxious and heart beating fast he realize he is a baby knowing this he thought it is reincarnation at this moment he is completely feel scared and shock because he is unaware of this new world going to offer plus with the memory of his past life he hate the idea of reincarnation with past memory because it feel torturing to him bcuz his life was perfect he didn't want to start a new life
      Synopsis:reincarnated in (any era u think this story fit my thought was like time when technology is consider some kind of witchery to make the mc have development since he love tech but maybe in this world people have different opinions) he going through another world of life questioning his life in the past and right now overcoming his depression wether he want to accept this new life.
      Im thinking that he have endless reincarnation maybe for future arc feeling lifeless that it never ending of this cruel soul reincarnation with different shape or form of life maybe the story goes to unacceptance to accepting this endless reincarnation with the fact it full of adventurous and experience.with this arc maybe he try to find another reincarnation (note this is maybe too cruel) he can but when the reincarnation people meet one of them die but why? Hmmm maybe its a terrible idea.

Historic Chinese Waifu House is a great way to put it. Frieren is fantastic and easily one of the best this season. Eminence is still the goat of isekai. I want isekai quartet with shadow and Kazuma meeting. Two goats. Overtake has been really great - but I am the target audience: I love racing and photography. Berserk of gluttony is hilarious for being such a copy and paste of everything fantasy/isekai.

    Returner's Magic Should be Special is something that I've been reading for the last couple years, and I just want to say that it caught me COMPLETELY off-guard when I saw it pop up on the 2023 fall list. Berserk of Gluttony is in the same boat too. 100% It has amazing source material and I am hyped beyond belief for this adaptation from out of left field. With the Solo Leveling adaptation on the horizon, I can't be anything but excited for all the different manhwa and manhua to get animated.

      @@XanderFenikkusu I don't know about the anime, but the manhwa is good I wouldn't consider it the best. It is basically what you would expect, with someone who has a second chance to save the world with all their knowledge (not their power) from the future. You get to watch the protagonist try to navigate the situation with his future knowledge of magical innovation and the creative uses he made for weaker spells that he gained from said future.
      The protagonist from what I read (got interrupted due to life circumstances, need to pick it back up) doesn't ever really get OP, there's always a bigger fish which he can use his knowledge to combat. There's also the personal aspects that I'm surprised to see brought-up by a manhwa, often in these types of stories beginner writers focus on the main character planning and completely negate the personal side of things. To that degree we are left with an interesting situation where the protagonist wants to get his relationships back but he is simply a far more different person than he was when the original events happened.
