Summoned to Another World for a Second Time [horrendously sexist MC and very boring. It was in fact the show that broke my resolve in watching most new releases.]
Only seen G-Witch, Demon Slayer and Hell's Paradise so far. Heavenly Delusion and Oshi no Ko are next on the list.
The episode 1 twist in Hell's Paradise, where the edgy nihilist OP protag is

actually the ultimate Wife-Guy
works a heck of a lot better than it should, and the deuteragonist is pretty cool herself. But imo the animation is pretty rough for a MAPPA outing.
Speaking of animation, Demon Slayer in 1 episode looks better than entire goddam movies lmao, pity it's a show for 14 year olds. (Not a knock against the show, it is what it is, but damn I really am starting to feel like I'm outgrowing the medium.)
Demon Slayer taking the 'she breasted boobily down the stairs' meme a bit too literally.😅
What's frustrating is that the show managed to stay well clear of unnecessary fanservice of its women characters, until now. You can practically hear the collective :awooga: going off.
Yeah, feels like they're trying to balance out baby-Nezuko. Or using her as an excuse to get away with it. Tbf, it was kind of a horny episode overall, the whole trying to bond through nudity got a laugh out of me.
