The first episode of Wonder Egg Priority was excellent. I haven't watched a good original series since Gridman and this one seems like it'll finally be it.

I still really enjoy Quintuplets, but every time the Bride is on screen I can't help but think to myself "Her?! That's the one the author went with?".
Cells at Work Black was pretty good too. From shitty kid Platelets, to big titted White Blood Cells.
Even with all the demons and magic going around in Inuyasha 2, by far the most magical thing is having a cell phone that still has a full charge after months in Feudal Japan.

Sk8 ep1: damn that was awesome. This gonna be a good one.
It's easier when you know in advance the one you like can't win.

Horimiya is absolutely not about "a gloomy nerd getting together with popular girl with double life", though. Miyamura is fairly accepted in his class (more like the goth chick type than the gloomy nerd type) and Hori, while generally friendly, is not "the popular gal" (she gets righteously angry a bit too often for that). Also their entire romantic arc is only like 1/4th of the manga at most, the rest is pretty much shenanigans between the entire cast.

Man, so many anime I feel like I have to watch and no willpower to sit down and get through it. Ah well, LogHor S3 will probably force me out of my shell regardless.
I'm gonna have fun watching people's reactions when Rudeus sets up his shrine to Roxy.

Once and always and nevermore.
Healer seems fun, and I don't just mean the anime. Despite my own personality, having good healing skills really helps. The fact that certain healing skill trees also allows one to learn poison skills is just a bonus. I'd like to remind everyone that Kotomine and Rusalka are also master healers. There's a reason why even the most ruthless crime lord is hesitant to offend their own doctor.

World Egg Priority ep1: AOTS potential. Fantastic. Love it.
Between Meido and Mujika, really amazing new lolis this season. Of course, we can't forget veterans, like Rika and Platelet... Also, the more "mature" (personality) Platelets from Cells Black.
Tomozaki 2: There he is, Tomozaki's true love, based Mizusawa-kun.
Ok, so I owe you guys an apology. Redo of Healer really was that bad. It makes me appreciate Shield Hero. All he was doing was trying to build up his skills so that he could do his job and leave the stupid country. This guy's just 100% "REVENGE!!!11!". It's strange, since one my favourite jrpg characters in the last few years is basically the same thing, but Velvet Crowe is much more likeable. Maybe it's becasue she has an off switch, not constantly scheming? Or how she's apathetic to everyone around her, and blunt about her motives? This isn't even bad in a funny way, that I can laugh at how absurd it is (Although why would need to absorb the experience of multiple whores? Do you need to know how to please a man that much?). Which puts it below even Ex-Arm, for entertainment value.
Also Wonder Egg was gorgeous. I get the feeling it's heading in a Gleipnir route, where eventually the characters are going to have to fight each other becasue there aren't enough wishes to go around for everyone. But it's going to be a good trip I think.

Thing is, there are too many stories with "revenge is bad" tropes, like going on and on about how self-destructive it is or having the dark hero in question lose his balls at the last second. Even the anime version of Count of Monte Cristo, the champion of revenge, had him ending up dead. Right now, I'll take what I can get.
Agreed with LegalLoliLover. I want to see Kayeru follow his revenge path. Too many MCs pussy out or are made to fight for nobler causes. I want to see revenge that isn't stopped. The only anime I remember with an avenger who kept his revenge motivation and got his revenge is Gun x Sword. Sometimes I want my fiction fucked up, y'know?. Like, it's one of things I loved about Hanachirasu. How Takeda Akane stops at literally nothing to get revenge and he does.

Well, the important thing is not just to win but win and live to tell about it. Again, the anime about the Count of Monte Cristo failed at this, despite technically succeeding at his revenge. One should take revenge not because it's the only thing left, but because there is more to life, and thus this chapter of that life must be closed in a satisfactory manner. As for Hanachirasu, I'm disappointed in that for entirely different reasons. Loli doesn't have anything close to an H-scene, except in the side disc, and even that "H-scene" is literally just a nip-slip when her throat is being eaten out. If you're going "eat out" any part of her, you don't do it there.
Are you guys missing the whole point of Monte Cristo? That dedicating yourself only to revenge and nothing else will leave you a hollow shell of a person at the end? That even if you live to see the end of it, by then you'll have alienated everyone so what you have left is basically worthless? "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind?" Even the John Wick movies, which are almost as righteous revenge as you can get, end with the MC physically broken, and back in the middle of the underworld he almost killed himself leaving.
Now that makes more sense. Maybe the sub I saw was just shit then, because during narration they talk about how he absorbs their experiences, and that's how he learns all their abilities. Probably should have gone with strengths rather than experiences. Even if it doesn't line up with the RPG terms.

It's both.
When he heals someone he makes a connection through which their experiences flow - usually just the agony of their wound, but also including their talents and skills like knowing how to cook monsters or Alchemy. The downside is that he has to be conscious throughout the process to copy the talents and skills, which he didn't manage in his first go round. He can also steal their EXP, but I forget if he just takes what they have before they go up to another level because that's all he can take or because he just doesn't want to get caught; I think it's the latter. Everyone has levels and an inherent level cap that they can't raise unless they exchange fluids with a hero. Also being near a hero makes you gain EXP faster.
To the discussion above, I personally don't need my anime to be fucked up. Real life already is, and there needs to be justice and happiness somewhere. That, and I personally don't believe in prioritizing harm done in the past over protecting what's left in the present.
Cells at Work Black: Alcohol is fun, but really fucks you up.
Me: Don't mind if I do.
