My midseason tierlist (after 6-7 episodes)

S Tier

  • Raise wa Tanin ga Ii/Yakuza Fiance - Still good.
  • Dan Da Dan - If this anime season had a 1st place champion, it would be this show.

A Tier

  • Shangri-La Frontier - Sunraku's attempts to cheeze the game mechanics are still fun to watch.
  • Re Zero - I think this season is following the same pattern as last season where Subaru is falling into a seemingly insurmountable tangle of problems, and he'll have to figure things out later somehow. This makes it really hard to watch right now. I can't argue with the understated production values though.
  • Blue Lock (+1 tier) - Okay, back to the action! Powerpoint animation and crazy exaggerated footballing powers go!
  • MF Ghost (+1 tier) - It's stupid unrealistic car racing, but it's fun! Playing weekly new eurobeat soundtracks in the background helps. Similar to Blue Lock, it doesn't have great animation or depth, but it manages to be hype nonetheless.

B Tier

  • Wajutsushi (-1 tier) - Annoying assassin bimbo sidekick isn't working for me. Lead character not making enough morally questionable decisions. Leading me to question what is the point of this show...
  • Maou 2099 (-1 tier) - The whipsawing between being a streamer, and combat, was notable. MC Demon Lord Veltol is making intelligent decisions by enlisting the help of his former foe, The Hero, but the story feels predictable.
  • Acro Trip - Hugh the "real" villain mastermind was fun, but I feel like they're running out of ideas because things are getting somewhat random.
  • Trillion Game - This is somewhat difficult to watch. The crazy MC's antics to get ahead are borderline unethical, in fact, their team gets disqualified for cheating, but I do find myself wondering what he's going to come up with next.
  • Chi - Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite - Still hard to watch. The subject is very relevant and I want to keep watching this, but...

C Tier

  • Tower Of God (-1 tier) - Incomprehensible story, poor animation are putting this series on the brink for me. I loved S1, and I feel like there's a decent story in there somewhere, but this.... I dunno. I don't know whether it's a problem that's in the source manhwa, or a rushed production, or what, but the net result is not good.

F Tier (dropped)

  • Magilumiere (-2 tiers) - Stopped watching this because of a busy schedule, and I don't miss it
  • Negaposi Angler - I actually did watch 2 episodes of this, but I'm not feeling compelled to continue.
  • SAO GGO2
  • Danmachi S5
  • Ranma 1/2

I feel like I should be watching:

  • Villainess Who Goes Down In History
  • Dragonball Daima

Watching randomly:

  • Kengan Ashura S2 - I hate Netflix bombing me with a whole season all at once.
