So I've been reading the light novels for Overlord. Been slacking but I'm at the end of the second volume and I have to say it's actually REALLY good. Maybe even better than the anime. To be honest though it gives me more appreciation for the anime since the show follows the books almost perfectly. It also goes into a little more depth of some of the side characters Ainz meets along the way. It's getting me super hyped for season 2 that's supposed to come out later this year. Can't wait!

I'd potentially watch that. lol

But actually, Isekai Shokudou is a pretty good. Did you ever see Hero Union BBS? It's a bunch of loosely connected cool stories just like it, except now the heroes also get to eat.

To be honest, I've never heard of either of them. I'll have to look into it, but right now I'm too busy being on the Fate hype train and watching Fate Zero. I'm near the end now...so good. As usual RIP Spoiler: Lancer . Also god damn Spoiler: fake priest kirei . More importantly, Irisviel best girl.
Orreries:
Made in Abyss - amazing story and characters, full of emotion and adventure in a mysterious world, great OST too. A couple scenes of extreme SUFFERING but at least it's part of something meaningful.  There's some uncomfortable detailj sometimes, but it's still out of this world good. I immediately went to read the manga after, and am enjoying it immensely

Shoukoku no Altair - Arslan 2: Ottoman Boogaloo pretty much, exciting diplomacy, war & economic strategy, great characters. Has the bishounen design going on, but it's a good watch. I read the manga, and am thrilled to be able to watch it in animation.

Mahoutsukai no Yome, full TV anime - Magic and feels There's a mild "suffering otome player character" vibe here, but it's a good story with interesting events and characters.

Kino no Tabi 2017 - Traveler visits countries with various unusual customs. I hear "it's not the same" a lot and indeed it doesn't fully channel the atmosphere of Kino, but it's still really enjoyable.

Kekkai Sensen S2 - Supernatural anime that's cool, comical, chaotic. Mood is reminiscent of FLCL, if it took place in an eldritch abomination -invaded NYC

Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou - Post-apocalyptic daily life with military aesthetic, chibi characters

Kujira no Kora Something-or-other - So far it's like Shinsekai yori in many crucial ways, but with more blood and death. Interesting story about the weight and problems of living in a psychic society (Please don't get awkwardly psychosexual later on)

Fate/Apocrypha - All sorts of charming Servants in this Grail War, plus a cool shotgun necromancer ossan! Cons: Go away Sieg. What's gotten into Jeanne? I half suspect that A-1 will asspull some ridiculous ending (inb4 Jalter).

Tsurezure Children - Romance, delightful (and a little lewd) interactions

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou
somewhat older one but I finally got around to it
Fully a comedy, great gags with a little bit of story behind the comedy
It's rumored the writer is Bomber Grape, and it does make perfect sense for that to be the case
