#most of the titles from winter/spring/summer I haven't finished are either long-running series

[millennialdemon]

Okay so! Some end of the year adjustments! 

I’m dropping pretty well everything I haven’t started yet because I’m just not keen on watching these titles for various reasons -- either I already know I’m going to hate them (and for reasons I’ve already explained with other, similar anime), or there is some sort of personal clause I refuse to budge on, or they just aren’t very interesting!: 

I’m Standing on a Million Lives (isekai with a male protagonist and every other party member is a girl? So, every isekai, EVER?)

Yashahime (refuse to watch one second of this until I hear back about Rin)

Dragon Quest (watched some of episode 1 and it just didn’t grab me? Reminded me Magical Circle which I also didn’t follow through on)

Tonikawa (I like a good wholesome romance but not only is this super hetero even for me, the character also look like 12 years old MAX when they’re apparently adults? spits)

Iwakakeru (the designs are gimmicky and sexualized like Keijo!!!, and I doubt it has the drama of Hanebado! that could retain my interest in the midst of being insanely tacky)

So the Fall watchlist looks like this now: 

I’m still leery on Burn the Witch and Onyx Equinox, seeing as there wasn’t much to liveblog in Burn the Witch beyond bad designs, and Onyx Equinox doesn’t have subtitles so liveblogging it isn’t terribly convenient -- and it isn’t compelling enough for me to muscle through otherwise! 

Why am I watching Danmachi season 3? Because I watched season 1 out of love for Bete Loga, and then I watched season 2 out of hatred for awful writing. I am in blood Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er...

D4DJ is just easy to watch, and Jujutsu Kaisen is actually really good! Noblesse... well, I watched the OVA, so I may as well go through and watch the anime. 

So yeah! After whittling it down it seems pretty manageable, I might get to finish a year on this blog with no leftovers!
