For me it’s Vinland Season 2 and Frieren for storytelling. Jujutsu kaisen 2 and The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 for raw fun.

    Wait wait is Konosuba good or is this a bit because I’ve only ever heard that it’s completely vapid and devoid of value. Someone tell me the truth

      Maybe its more telling of who I was when I watched it but I found it funny when it came out. A solid comedy about the genre that was (at the time) slowly taking over anime. I don’t know if it has aged well I’m not gonna lie. I do know 100 GF is currently airing and is actually worth the watch. There is another full cour and I think an episode just dropped today.

      Konosuba is very funny but also problematic in a “it’s definitely problem-weeby” way.

      If you’re desensitised to that, it’s extremely funny and you’ll enjoy it. If you’re not desensitised to that then you won’t. Lots of panties jokes, lots lewd jokes, extremely criticisable sexualisation of megumin.

      As far as comedies go it can make some people laugh out loud, or if you’re not desensitised to the above you’ll hate it. Ep 1+2 will tell you all you need to know really.

        Ah yeah I just can’t handle excessive amounts of “omg teenager boobs lol” jokes in anime anymore. So thank you for the warning

      Konosuba is just a comedy/parody, there’s nothing deep about it but it can be fun. If you have a low threshold for “anime bullshit” you probably want to skip it because it’s very horny in a way that’s off-putting to some people, but otherwise check out a few episodes.
