I checked out three more airing anime.

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai is something I finally checked out just to see what everyone was talking about and... man, that was awesome. It wasn't that long ago that we were all joking about how this would obviously be terrible. I can't believe it's already my favorite of the season after two episodes. I love all the characters and story so far, but I'm also really digging the fantastical tone of this whole dilemma. It really does feel like Monogatari except minus all the elements I didn't like about Monogatari. Ep 2 spoilers I hope the whole season is about Mai slowly disappearing and this isn't just the first story. I feel like that could get really poignant.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is also surprisingly good. The way they're handling the isekai world with clear video game elements reminds me of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody, except this is about a charming slime instead of a generic MC. I want someone to make a Metroidvania of the part where it was going through the cave collecting monster powers, what a neat idea for an isekai protagonist (perhaps even beating out the evil skeleton lich in Overlord). Really looking forward to seeing where this goes, the OP visuals give me a lot of hope for fun adventures.

Conception, meanwhile, is something I'm going to watch because I played Conception 2, which kind of sucked but had a few decent waifus I guess. I can already tell that this anime is going to be rough. The whole thing looks like it's going to be an excuse for fanservice. That might not be such a bad thing if it were at least handled right, but these characters are so lame and the fanservice so far has been so tame. If you're going to have a premise where a guy needs to have sex with twelve girls in twelve episodes, at least go all the way! The second game was a shaky excuse for fanservice too, to be fair, but it still had a few interesting moments on top of that. Ellie's story in particular actually managed to get to me, so I'm holding out hope this anime will have something on that level.

Conception and SkySea aside, this is a crazy strong season so far. Goblin Slayer might land around a 5/10 but everything else is a solid 7/10 or higher at the moment. On my ranking scale, that's pretty impressive!
