Isn't Shaft working on a Strike Witches spinoff? Maybe they're too busy with that to make things people would actually want.

The sad thing is that's probably something people want. Almost everything they make sells very well other than the obscure LN adaption here and there.

I feel a bit out of love with Shaft when they started putting the house style into thing that shouldn't have or didn't need to use it.

Like, why did they go out of their way to make Fate/Extella such a confusing mess just to Shaftify it, why did that show need that?

Meanwhile look at say, WIT, with something super recent like Ousama. They flex all their directorial and studio talent but manage to do so while still keeping the full core of it's intentional and charming throwback aesthetic. They don't completely replace the source material with something that puts their studio first and the actual thing their adapting second.

I dont know when exactly they started doing it, but somewhere down the line it felt like they kept trying to make most of their shows feel soulless and like visual clones of their biggest hit. That Mekaku? whatever series I tried to watch an episode of and it just felt like Monogatari with a new cast and no identity of its own because of the animation/art/etc

RWBY is still great to me. They definitely went into a more edgy/angsty tone, but there's only so much they can do with the original comedic tone. Having rewatched it about a month ago, I can't say their ideas are perfect (last season a major character was jerked around like an idiot, redeemed, only for the show to go, "lol nope"Penny, an android, becomes human to escape a killer virus, just to be bumped off an ep later) sort of thing. But they have integrated way higher stakes and feel like they are a few seasons away from finishing. They just need a couple to get through the new arc they introduced, maybe 1-2 more to finish up, and i think that's where they are going.

Also, Konosuba movie watched. Show is so glorious and dumb, in the lovely Konosuba way.

It's been kind of surreal to me how many people I follow on my Twitter timeline are still full on RWBY stans, but none of them seem to...actually talk about the show itself at all. Even through osmosis I have very little knowledge of what's been going on for the last 4 seasons. Everyone is just kind of doing their own things with the characters.

I've been eyeballing the Konosuba blu rays a lot over the last few days for my next full series purchase.

I ended up going with Psycho Pass specifically because it's movie was already on blu ray and Konosuba's wasn't over here. Once it is I'll likely pull the trigger.

Looks like HiDive is finally making it's move then now that FUNi is gone. That's all stuff they have since it's Sentai obviously, and they snatched up some exclusives this season as well. I think Executioner's Way might be a HiDive exclusive.

Outside of Watamote, none of those stood out to me. Sakamoto was fine. Sunday Without God started interesting, then died off. I mean, I'd like to see those shows, but HIDIVE still won't do that PS4/PS5 app (and that's why I can't get those shows).

I've tried to re-watch Watamote but I just can't do it.

That series is such a different beast now then it was for the parts the show covered.

As for what's on that list the hits for me (and I have HiDive so this, like...isn't actually doing anything to me),

SNAFU
No Game No Life
Nozaki Kun

All all-time greats....which is why I also own them all on Blu so double not affecting me.

I was going to get a Crunchyroll subscription pretty soon (now that some stuff about my finances are clearer) and I was hoping to start by rewatching my old favorites. I'm sad to see some of those shows go! Watamote is my all-time favorite, School Live is in my top 10, and both Chunibyo and BanG Dream were really good.

I suppose I'll still have quite a few seasons of new stuff to catch up on, though. I stopped watching at the end of 2019, hopefully there's been some good lighthearted slice-of-life stuff since then.

Science Fell in Love is a fun but unimpressive show. It's a good casual watch but don't expect magic. It has a new season starting soon too.

Didn't see Asteroid, but seeing the name reminded me about Astra: Lost in Saoce. Now THAT show was a banger.

I watched the whole thing, but I agree with this. I haven't seen Yuru Camp so can't compare, but I did find myself bored with Asteroid at times. It's really cute, though, and the best friend character was great.

I was under the impression that all of it was getting transferred but that it was going to happen over several weeks.

I can't seem to find explicit confirmation of that anywhere, though they have been adding more shows on a weekly-ish basis.

Funi originally said 80% of their shows were being transferred to Crunchy on their site, but they've since deleted that statement. I'd assume it'll be less than 80% for the near future at least.

For cute Winter 2020 shows, Bofuri is by far the highlight. Super cute and fun. Eizouken is a good club anime, but it's a bit unconventional - not sure how that will affect your opinion. For the ones you mentioned:

Seton: has some funny characters, but I hated the MC.
Asteroid: competent? A lot of the episodes are pretty middling. Wouldn't really rank it as a high tier SoL, but it's not bad.
Science: I didn't like the main two characters and the way they interact is weird imo. Some people really like the way they interact though, so your mileage my vary I guess? Wotakoi seems more popular for shows in this vein.

lmk if you want thoughts on cute shows from other seasons. I usually watch most of them...

Sure, if you don't mind! I'll check out Bofuri too, I mustve skipped over it because it looked like isekai and it's hard to know when those will be fun and when they'll be Goblin Slayer

Wasnt it? Maybe I'm mixing it up with Grimgar, another anime about fighting goblins. Though, I'm so rusty on anime that I had to use google to remember Grimgar's name, so I'm not certain it was even an isekai either...
