Past Seasons
Completed Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
This solidifies josei romcoms as being top tier for me at least. We have childhood friends entering into a romantic relationship, and they did so in the first episode. The characters here are mature and level-headed too unlike many shounen / shoujo romcom characters. I like the relationship dynamics not just within the main couple, but also between them and the other couples and within the secondary couple. The tertiary couple could use more development, but I guess that's what the source material is for.
It's a pity that the premise of josei anime tend to be boring. In fact, Wotakoi is the perfect example: the premise is simply two nerds falling in love with each other! I probably passed over many good josei anime because they don't have the hook to draw me in.
On the bright side, at least I discovered this one, which deserves a solid 9/10.
This Season
Continuing
Re:Zero season 3 - I find a lot of the dialogue between characters - not just Subaru's - kinda cringe like in previous seasons, but that's just me being nitpicky. As usual, once Subaru starts looping, I'm hooked.
Dan Da Dan - It certainly lives up to the hype. Looking forward to more of it.
Murai In Love - This is way funnier than I expected. The humour just clicks with me. It's an unfair comparison due to the 4-episodes headstart it had, but I found it funnier than Dan Da Dan at the moment. I have caught up, and would like finish it.
How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer - It's entertaining enough for now. Shall see how it goes.
Dropped
All of these induce some degree of boredom for me.
You are Ms. Servant - Male lead sucks.
365 Days to the Wedding - Just watch Wotakoi instead.
I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History - In addition to flaws that others have already pointed out, I find that this is just a generic villainess isekai, which is too boring. Watch Villainess Level 99 instead.
Magilumiere - Looks poorly executed.
Acro Trip - Just watch Gushing Over Magical Girls instead.
Puniru is a Kawaii Slime - The humour is not hitting it for me.
Wotakoi is excellent. Really glad you enjoyed it. After watching that one, I tried out a couple of other adult romance series and nothing really hit the same. One that I did enjoy was Rikekoi (Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It). Though, I suspect that a part of why I enjoyed that one so much is because of how hard the show goes into its math tangents from time to time and its depiction of grad school. Also, just a warning that if I were to watch that show blind again, I would probably just stop after the first season.
