Re;Monster is probably one of the shittier isekai shows I've watched. I liked the concept at first because I've got a weakness for good monsters versus evil humans, but the animation and plot are boring as fuck. Dropped it when Ogrou's babies were about to pop their mothers open to be born. Not much grosses me out but even the prospect of that made me gag.
None of the characters are interesting and are basically solely defined by their abilities and powers in relation to Ogrou. Broken isekai RPG abilities are really only fun if they're used creatively or they're genuinely unique in some way (ex: Tsukimichi's Makoto experimenting with his ridiculous Mana pool, Konosuba's Kazuma turning a practical grab bag of abilities into an arsenal, Kumoko's use of her abilities in I'm a Spider) and Ogrou is decidedly not doing anything unique or interesting so all those ability pop ups from eating his foes just seems pointless.

I've definitely seen worse but yeah it's hard to recommend. I was always hoping they'd do something with how atypical his Isekai pre-life was (he was a mercenary with the mutant power to get power from eating people that got killed by a school girl in front of a 7-11) but that never happened. Kind of speed runs all the sins of this sub-type of Isekai (MC isn't that interesting, Big fun cast isn't that fun because it keeps ballooning before you give a shit about anyone)

I think the only parts I found good at the end of the day were the character that was a Fujo that ships everyone was a funny gag and I thought the fact that instead of rice cultivation or mayonnaise, or soy sauce or whatever the knowledge from Japan he introduces to the world is the C-section was kind of funny.

Yeah dude reincarnates from like the fucking near future setting of Live-A-Live and his only quirk is that he eats goddamn everybody out of a bizarrely justified Darwinism. Wasted potential. The only cast members I gave a shit about were Ogrekichi because he's a dumb-fun rival and his earthy muscle wife.
They went real hard on the rotten girl puns for her and that was a laugh but Christ almighty that pregnancy shit was just the last straw. Props to the voice actors for the sisters though - they fucking sold that pain pretty well if it made me cringe like that.

Sidenote: I was rewatching Dungeon Meshi this morning, and I noticed something quaint. After the party is dropped into a pit and the ghosts are upon them that one of them actually says something to Chilchuck. I had to rewind and listen a couple times but she says something along the lines of "it's okay, don't worry" like a mother soothing a child, which was a nice audio cue foreshadowing
that some of the ghosts are actually sane citizens of the Golden Kingdom
Even the ghosts mistake Chilchuck for being a tallman kid.
 

In loving memory of Hiroyuki Omori, the man who helped not just with the music production for Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, but also was one of the first to bring awareness to the anime as an actual producer for it. He also was a producer for When They Cry - Higurashi, Hi-Score Girl and Highschool of the Dead, just to name a few.

Either way, I hope Araki does not lose his touch. Omori helped make his manga into a anime adaptation far more successful than he could imagine.

SSS-Class Revival Hunter is actually pretty good. That final battle in the frozen wasteland almost made me cry a little. When he plays with the spirits of the neglected children so they could pass on, that was sad also.

Has anyone seen Edens Zero? I finished both seasons last year and I loved it. It feels like a darker version of Fairy Tail but instead of a magic adventure its a Sci-Fi adventure. With more mature and disturbing shit in it (especially season 2)

I can only speak to the manga. There's a fair amount of "author's thinly disguised fetish" content in it and the time travel aspect leads to some fairly convoluted storylines, especially towards the end. That being said it's all-in-all a solidly entertaining turn-your-brain-off read.
 
So it is the end of Urusei Yatsura
Not bad, but the original was funnier and zanier even if it didn't cover everything from the manga. Even this version missed a few side stories.

Is it the definite end or are there still more seasons to adapt once they finish the next season of Jojo? I overall liked the adaption as someone who never watched the original. David Production are very underrated.

If they adapted Boy Meets Girl, then that's the definitive end of the remake. They only ordered 43 episodes when they announced the remake to begin with. They got most of the good episodes but if you want more content, I'd recommend watching the OG episodes or at least the anime original episodes of the 80s series, they're considered some of the series. Also watch Beautiful Dreamer.

Rumor has it that they're also doing a Ranma 1/2 remake and we'll hear more about it on the 17th of July so that'd be cool if it's true. I still have to watch the original though.

I'd be surprised if they didnt do Maison Ikkoku next but not as many people care about MI in comparison to Inuyasha, Ranma, and Urusei Yatsura.

God I wish it was David Production that did the Inuyasha sequel, it had such shitty production values which caused me to leave it 2/3 of the way through.
 
Finished the Zom 100 anime a couple weeks ahead of Toonami schedule, since it's not worth staying awake after MAWS.
Decent show, loses anything really remarkable after the halfway point. Never felt like there was anything really worth being annoyed about apart from the stagnant animation quality in the latter half compared to the former. I'll probably forget everything about it in a month.
 
I hate when anime protags have a secret and then when it's discovered their friends turn on them on a dime, even if they've proven themselves loyal and saved everyone's lives like in Kaiju 8 when he stops that nuke and they immediately go after him.

Haven't watched the new episode, but to be fair to them, they didn't immediately shoot him which is their usual MO. Plus at least in that case it's a military operation that would 100% take someone lying for several months as a good reason to arrest him.
