It was a shame to see this series end in only 25 chapters, but so is the nature of weekly SJ releases and their cut throat serialization standards. So while only 25 chapters may feel like not enough for an honestly decent and fun series, it wasn't really able to capture me in any particular way across these last 6 months. Unlike some of the more popular SJ releases I felt that this title was somewhat lacking of a voice and personality of its own, which sometimes made it hard to come back to week after week.
The general premise was

*Spoilers sorry*
I was having a lot of fun with this series until all of the rejections started getting passed around, and I couldn't really get my head around all of the character motivations and actions. It was fun at first to see such an unforeseen series of events between the main girl, gamer girl, and MC but after all of the smoke settled from that camping arc I was left confused and wondering "well now what?". And since that point my interest in the series slowly waned over time. Best girl lost in the latest chapter so I'm probably not going to stay updated with this ...

Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san
(Anime)
add
Please don’t Bully Me Nagatoro is an anime in the oddly specific but wildly popular genre of “Female classmate teases / bullies male MC” alongside other similar shows of Uzaki-Chan and Takagi-San. Like the other two anime Nagatoro relies on the relationship dynamic of the two leads in order to produce the majority of its comedy and drama, with a small supporting cast to spice things up. Out of the three I would say that Nagatoro probably does it the best, however this is something entirely up to each viewer's preferences and comedy tastes. The titular Nagatoro is an overall enjoyable character

Zombieland Saga Revenge
(Anime)
add
It should come as no surprise that if you enjoyed the first ZLS you are going to have a great time with revenge. Fulfilling on the necessities of creating a good sequel, revenge builds on both the characters and plot in a meaningful and interesting way. All the girls get individual episodes which really helps to build on their already established characters who are all entertaining to watch. The most entertaining of all Kotaro isn't as prominent in his debauchery this time around, but he's still just as funny as he's ever been. The art has also seen subtle improvements in

Higehirou is a show where you can feel like you’ve been watching an episode for forty minutes and you haven’t even passed the halfway mark. Simply put I found it immensely repetitive as many of the dialogue scenes talk about the same things over and over again i.e. “this is illegal I shouldn’t be housing you” / “Don’t be scared of me I’m not going to abuse you” / “Ishida-san you’re a nice guy I appreciate you” ect. The dialogue itself is incredibly dry and lacks any sort of levity or personality to keep the viewer engaged with what's being said or explained.

First things first, the OP slaps which is kinda unfortunate since the rest of the show doesn't impress me as much. It's a fine anime overall with a cute premise and decent jokes. It operates in that strange middle ground of light ecchi where they talk about lewd things but isn't too revealing for the most part. The main girl is decent and she has her moments, especially the discussions with her dad being the highlight of my watch. On the flip side the main guy is the generic good guy wholesome character type so he doesn't really add much to

Zombieland Saga
(Anime)
add
I don't really watch idol anime so I may not be the best point of reference for this type of show, but I can happily affirm that I had fun watching Zombieland Saga. Zombies plagued pop culture for nearly a decade during the 2000’s with generic, uninspired media, but it was really fun to see zombies put in a very “anime-esq” situation and fleshed out. The comedy for this show is pretty great in my eyes as the opening scene sets the tone of what to expect with the rest of the show, which is probably why it became such a recognizable meme.

Yakusoku no Neverland 2nd Season
(Anime)
add
Have you ever felt personally insulted by an anime? Cause that's what TPN S2 did to me and thousands of other fans. Every new episode was a kick in the balls as I had to watch in horror seeing one of my favorite properties go down in infamy for having the worst anime adaptation of all time. What is there to talk about between the mutilation of the original story, the character assassination of the protagonists, or the PowerPoint presentation they slapped on the end which left anime only viewers scratching their heads and manga readers screaming in agony. It is criminal

Probably the most overrated anime of the winter 2021 lineup. The pacing is some of the worst I've ever seen as it sloppily staggers between soppy cliché romance and extremely one note slice of life without properly merging the two at any point. You spend so much time with these characters in this group, but except for the lead male you only get surface level development and they all come off as pretty basic and bland. It's blatantly trying to wring emotion out of you, but the fact that it can't muster up anything unique or exciting makes it all the more
