** Japanese gamer guy dies, and is allowed to re-incarnate in another world to become an adventurer (to kill an demon king, or something). A happy comedy show with probably the most dysfunctional party possible. | ** Japanese gamer guy dies, and is allowed to re-incarnate in another world to become an adventurer (to kill an demon king, or something).

** Watching, it's kind of fun. Felt like they were really running out of content at the end of S1 though, even though it was only 10 episodes. --maxb | ** Watching, it's kind of fun.

*** Aaaaaaand... ugh. It's only episode 4 of S2, and they've run out of content again and are attempting to use lewdness as a substitute for humour. Vote no. --maxb | *** Aaaaaaand... ugh.

* I watched an episode and was not impressed. Slow, didn't laugh, and the characters were unsympathetic in an uninteresting way. The only part I enjoyed was the copious butt shots, and they probably count against it in a group setting. --lmm | * I watched an episode and was not impressed.

** | ** Season just ended, comedy/slice-of-life based on there being rare "demi-humans" in society - vampire, dullahan, succubus, yuki onna - and one of each have ended up at the same school this year. Oh, and the biology teacher is a bit of a geek about this and has always wanted to write a paper on them if he could ever meet some. I'm finding it really fun, enough so that it's got me rewatching episodes already. Vampire-chan is awesome. --maxb | ||
** Retrospective thoughts: a school slice of life with a minor thematic twist. Mostly well executed, but a few rough spots clearly stemming from it being an adaptation of an ongoing manga, and the production staff not having the guts or authorization to freely edit character introduction and development to suit the the episode count. | |||

** I had it on the list before, this was a show that spent 11½ episodes in an extended flashback. I took it off the list because I didn't feel I could push half a story, but now the second season is airing, which is more like the actual second half of the show. Now that it looks like the story is actually going to get completed, I think it's very much a viable option. Consider this to be a historical drama centered on the art form of live storytelling, and the tribulations life throws at the characters as they try to learn and ply their art. For me this show stands out as being a genre I don't usually watch, yet I found very absorbing and something I was/am looking forward to each week. --maxb | ** I had it on the list before, this was a show that spent 11½ episodes in an extended flashback.
