Nice going ... there is one in your list I took notice of ... however I shouldn't take a book from its' cover, but in this case the title caught my eye. "A Ninja and an Assassin Living Under One Roof" ... I have speculated a few things, however just from the title alone, similar to Spy X Spy Family? (something of that nature or title)

The Starship Blazers... think I just looked at it (not watched) and went "meh" ... and the KOWLOON GENERIC ROMANCE ... yup, the last two words in the title didn't interest me... Talk about judging a Book by its' Cover ... ONce Upon a Witch's Death, I am contemplating afterwards to watch.

Oh by the way... some countries and Netflix will not air certain programs... there are some programs I can not see in NZ with Netflix, however if I use a different source, I can see shows outside of my country. Hope that makes sense and that you do some research on what is available in your country when you subscribe to Netflix... hopefully you have a friend that has a spare account you can use.


Sorry for the tl;dr version.

I share my anime experiences mostly with the wife.

I started the first one, and apocalypse hotel. 1 ep each just to see how characters are introduced, animation style, etc.

I am not sure where the first is going, could be a cutesie stabby thing. But nothing will probably beat Bludgeoning Angel from back in the day. As far as first seeing something like that. 😂

Apocalypse Hotel. I swear the whole episode was on a 5 minute loop. Nothing really happend. Probably won't watch that.

There hasn't really anything that has been out that I have been super excited for and the ones that I have kinda turned the wrong direction so far. I run through a lot of anime usually more than 1 episode, but so many are in the same "cookie cutter" storyline. Not really sure how much ",another world" type anime I care to not just pass by either. Make your own damn world 😖

From oh" I was reborn as a ninja, cook, Hunter, gamer, vending machine" I feel the ideas are being just randomly thought of. Kinda like how Pokemon is running out of ideas for new monsters. Think they are just looking for items around them adding a face and legs then calling it a day. Pair of Keys? Motorcycle, Lawnmower...

So I end up watching really old anime, like Fist of the North Star, Tomorrow's Joe, some mech stuff. Animation might look like ass in the view of some people but the story is concrete. People have a tendency to build off original anime and make their own, but how many decades are people going to do the same thing?

I know where you are coming from, after reading your post earlier, I tried to watch the Table Detective? or something to that effect... yeah I didn't really want to watch past episode 1 ... however I watched 4 episodes and gave it a miss. It has humor that I find boring... but that is me... I am going to spoil it a bit, but the Butler chose the wrong profession.

So, I decided to re-watch Ateliar from episode 1 to episode 8 ... since I have already watched up to 7 ... found this to be more interesting or pleasurable to watch.

Already understand your point about anime "reincarnated as a Vending Machine and Sword" that came out, watched them... hmm, I think they should do something a bit more dramatic... I liked the Greatest Assassin gets Reincarnated (something like that title) ...so why not have something different... Like, Reincarnated as a Slave Newly Born ... at least you start off not rich or an aristocrat with everything available for you ... you are a Slave, you have powers that you can not hope to get insta OP, but OP until you can learn more about it in this New World that you know nothing about, oh and forget the Gods empowering him/her with instant knowledge... empowered and OP, Yes, however, through the journey... learn... similar to Mushoku Tensei (think that is right), however the parents are slaves and don't have any magical abilities... maybe the father is a Gladiator or something.

To me, that would be more interesting than the guff that is repeated over and over... I am rattling on, sorry and not sorry about that.

They have that Goblin one that is kinda like that.

Re: Monster the fan service seems to appeal to you, you might like parts of that. But was more porting out the start as lvl 1 gobbo and progress. Story has been done lol.

Table Detective? Tf is that? Slime is still a banished anime. Hiss 🐈

Watched more Apoc. Diaries tonight. All caught up. The Greatest Assassin Gets Reborn as an Aristrocrat? I did like that one lol. And the Shadow Garden group there. 😂

I watched Re: Monster ages ago... also mentioned it to you also back then... to be honest, Yeah that was just too OP and not my cuppa tea.

Table Detective ... I think I got the title completely wrong... all I know it has something to do with a Detective doing cases of Murders, she is a Detective and comes from a Rich family background ... a bit dipsy and clumsy and she has a Butler... well the Butler is introduced in the first episode if I remember correctly and they talk about cases at Dinner time at the Table and so on.

The Assassin one I have re-watched, it just feels right, he has his past experience and learns fast in the New World, also with the help of choosing his skills / abilities when talking to the God of Reincarnation ... or the God of that World. I would like them to continue on with that show, it ended leaving it open for another season... dang it.

Oh, I have to get back to Apoc Diaries and catch up... thanks for no Spoilers. At the moment I am just chatting on JSP, nothing running in the background as I am also drinking. But now you made me re-evaluate my schedule to catch up...

Have fun, keep me updated on anything new or peaks your interest, and of course I will keep an eye out for something decent to watch.

Oh my gosh, I can not believe how I missed it ... intentional or not in the Anime "The Apothecary Diaries", the Protagonist is like a Mad Scientist for the Era at that time.

For those that have watched Season 1 and watching S2 ... it is subtle and yet so obvious ... dang it, I basically started re-watching S2 and episode 3 or 4 it dawned on me. I think I am getting old to not have picked it up earlier. I know where I am coming from, but have other people noticed it, and explain why or how I came to this conclusion.

The jabs are felt. I get it 😂

Not intentional jabs, I mean I was and am kicking my own ass for not noticing it, however I have to take my hat off to the creation of this Anime (Apothecary Diaries). direction, timing was far and few making it less obvious. Hope there are some other creations like this.

Oh, I have been catching up with the Healer anime... 9th episode... I am enjoying it and watching it subbed, so that says something... I may re-watch it again from Episode 1 Dubbed (this would be a 3rd time) just because I can. the humor is to my liking also.

Which healer anime?

The Brilliant Healers New Life In The Shadows.
