This one is a well-liked source, but I honestly can't tell any of this specific subgenre apart
I think "Expelled from the Heroes Party" and "Important Man Reincarnated as a Female Swordsman (non-isekai)" are the two most generic trope-y genres rn
There have only been 3-4 anime adaptations so far
but I swear the entirety of the isekai manga update feed is just that
so they're coming
I love when that happens
The MC will feign ignorance on something, and then you have to think back to wtf the setup for the series was and if the author himself just forgot
studio can be fine, this is their C team working on almost no time
JCstaff has made good anime
(recently even)

I mean, JCStaff has sorta devolved to what DEEN was a decade ago
You continually disappoint when it matters which leads to cutting costs by greening staff, which in turn makes it harder to ever recapture success and perform well when another good series comes around
I need to cope about JC staff being a good studio spooky
if railgun is ever bad, I will cry, and piss and shit
(Or danmachi I guess but I care less about that going to shit)
but yeah, JC keeps doing shit like this
they are notorious for it
(this is just the worst instance of it they've ever done)
I feel like it's rare for JP studios to do this to themselves
usually it's the opposite where they're too selective or don't take on enough projects to keep staff
(usually also have a slow process relative to the rest of the industry as well)
and they bleed out that way
JC's approach is the Western model of fucking up
They should have done the whole season with their meme sorta-chibi art they use for tatsumaki
For those of us who don't read runes
they're won't be another season of Kaguya, there will be a 3rd movie that ends everything
Also apparently the 2nd Kaguya movie came out today in theatres in Japan, so idk where they leave things off after that
I'm sorta predicting the final movie is a drawn out Kaguya family "battle" arc
The issue is they don't really do much to make him interesting, he feels like a sponge with one personality trait
Looking back at even S2, it's crazy how much better the show looked
That #1?
really
#1 (dandadan) does not belong at all
#9 (Dress-Up Darling) is fine/generic but has good art and feet so....
Wait, I guess I should have asked
is this just be top #of plays
oh, nvm then
this makes sense
I was noticing it skewed towards popular shows
but most have pretty good OPs
Dandadan S2 was not one of those, at all
I was bullish on animethemes eventually getting better (performance wise)
but I feel like if anything the catbox days were better
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Also apparently the 2nd Kaguya movie came out today in theatres in Japan, so idk where they leave things off after that (edited)
I'm dumb, it's two anime special ova things
and uh
