personally i can’t decide between Hell’s Paradise and Heavenly Delusion!

Special mention to Konosuba explosion on this wonderful world too!

    I’m not even that much of a fan of the genre, but “Oshi no ko” will probably become one of my all-time favorites.

      This is so interesting. I wrote it off, but the positive regard that it’s receiving in this thread has me thinking I’ll check it out

        The premise is a bit off-putting and incesty but once you get past the first half of the first “episode” (which is a feature-length movie BTW) all that uncomfortable stuff pretty much goes away (the kids get older). Then it’s just a matter of accepting that a person who’s lived for nearly fifty years is hanging out with high school girls every day 🤷

        The whole show is very well done and seems to be a social commentary on the entertainment industry and to a lesser extent, how much connections and owed favors matter in Japanese culture. I find it different and refreshing 👍

      Oshi No Ko is definitely heads above the rest this season. What a piece of writing and direction!
