    i watched ep 2 of Lv999 Yamada-kun and i think it might do better than mid before its done. i will admit to being a softie for the genre tho

    EDIT:

    two things i watched that didn't make it on your list

    Jigokuraku - Hells Paradise - this is the big new shounen manga adaptation this year, and will most likely go many seasons. i haven't read the source so can't tell you much except that it's MAPPA, eps 1 and 2 make a good impression if you are into the gritty bloody type of shounen (and are pretty incredibly gory if you don't)

    Mashle: Magic and Muscles - watched this on a whim. haven't read the source. in a world with magic the MC has none, but is instead incredibly strong. its got the standard plot; he's been hidden in the forest by his father because people without magic are weeded out, but you can't keep an incredibly strong guy out of trouble forever, run in with the authorities, ends up enrolled in magic school. melodrama, action plot, physical comedy. also, a cop gets humiliated a few times for comedic effect in ep1 so :carlin-pog: overall good first impression, will see where it goes. oh, and i have a sneaking suspicion that it is gearing up to be a satirical parody of harry potter lmao
