Thoughts on some stuff I've watched recently after going a while without really watching any anime

Beastars: Surprisingly contemplative and mature high school drama. It's in a weird spot where I felt it was slightly overhyped, but without that hype I probably never would have checked it out. Probably one of the better uses of CG in anime in recent memory. The OP is an absolute banger. Louis best character.

Black Lagoon OVAs: I watched the original series years ago and never got around to Robertas Blood Trail, so there were a few characters I didnt remember all that well. Its still a great action packed series with fantastic atmosphere. The plot armor for certain characters isnt anything new for the series but I did feel it was a bit extreme here. Still great.

Kakegerui Season 2: Im a sucker for stuff like this with high stakes mind games and reactions and this didnt disappoint. I liked the usage of characters from the first season and most of the gambles were still great. It doesnt end at a satisfying spot really but thankfully I knew that going in. I never expect a subsequent season for anime but I do hope this is resumed in the future.

Cautious Hero: One of the few series where Ive read part of the manga before seeing the anime (maybe the first two episodes worth of material?). Its got some good gags and lampoons a fair few isekai tropes while just staying under the limit of overusing those jokes. Everything in the gods realm is gold. It has a surprisingly strong last few episodes and I think everything ties up well enough that Im not really sure that it needs a continuation.
