Summary: Rein, an enchanter, is suddenly expelled from his guild one day. But instead of despairing, he declares, "Now I can do anything!" and begins reclaiming the massive number of enhancement points he once poured into his guildmates' gear, setting off on a brand-new path as an adventurer. Gathering around him are people carrying wounds that don't fade easily: a genius adventurer who shut her heart after her party was slaughtered, a warrior who lost her family, and an assassin raised from childhood to kill. Yet Rein never rejects their pasts or their scars—he accepts them all with bright, straightforward warmth.
My First Impressions: I watched ep1 and it's just a bit too dumb. <not watching unless recommended>

Ajima had effectively gained control of Golden Valley through Dark Machine. The protagonist, Kairi, visits Golden Valley to fulfill his late grandfather's dying wish, "Find Senki," and, coincidentally, encounters Rudra, a girl being pursued by one of Ajima's subordinates. Kairi becomes a Dark Machine player after being caught up in Rudra's events and gradually blossoms after numerous fierce battles.

Wanting to increase what little time she has with Royal Knight Harij, Rose sends him on a wild-goose chase for the ingredients but gets more than she bargained for when the grumbling knight starts visiting her every day...to feed her? This is the heartwarming story of a shut-in witch and an arrogant, straitlaced knight whose romance starts from a love potion.
My First Impressions: Ep1 was just boring. I've watched plenty of almost slice-of-life romance anime, and this pacing is just too slow. <not watching unless recommended>

My First Impressions: Watched ep1 and the assassin character is just too psychotic. <not watching unless recommended>

Summary:On her way home from school one day, Noriko is unexpectedly plunged into a strange and extraordinary fantasy world. Her troubles compound exponentially when she is rescued and befriended by a handsome young man by the name of Izark. He may be brave and courageous, but inside Izark lurks the darkest evil imaginable. And according to an ancient prophecy, Noriko possesses the power to unleash that evil. Now, inexorably bound together, these two unlikely allies must navigate a world both wondrous and hostile.
My First Impressions: It reminds me somewhere of the beginning of Juuni Kokki. However, the main character seems a bit dumb (it should not take 1.5 episodes for you to realize you could start learning the language). Things continue to happen, but there doesn't seem to be much in terms of a larger story after a few episodes. It may just take time to pick up. It has potential.

Summary: Lent is part of the up-and-coming party known as the "Skypiercers," and thanks to his unique Gift, he can loan massive amounts of magic to others. Except, now that his companions have become formidable heroes (thanks to his skill), his usefulness is questioned. Kicked out of the group, Lent is furious until he discovers a hidden power to his Gift. Now, with his adorably devious fairy partner, he’s going to claw back every last scrap of magic from his former party with interest.
My First Impressions: The pacing is really slow, and the fairy is decidedly not cute. However, she is kind of evil and I like that. The antagonists seem weirdly written and too stereotypical. The main character seems a bit overpowered, and general storyline is too similar to the goddess believer anime. I may continue to watch this, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Summary: The internet is full of creepypastas, cryptid sightings, tales of paranormal activity, and unsolved disappearances. These are mostly rumors and pranks fueled by trolls—entertainment. But the unlucky few learn the hard way that some legends are true. Many of these unfortunate souls are doomed, but their luck may change if they cross paths with the boy in the red hood. He roams from town to town and appears wherever strange things occur.
My First Impressions: Watched ep1 and there's just no real substance. Art/animation are also not great. <not watching unless recommended>

Summary: A great hero lies undefeated on her deathbed, regretting that she never found a foe who could take her down. She never intended to meet her fate anywhere other than on the battlefield, and her peaceful demise has her wishing desperately that things could have been different... But when she suddenly comes to in the body of the young, frail Nia Liston, she's got an all-new fight ahead of her. Nia is a sickly child, meaning she has a long way to go before she's in fighting form. Now that she's been given a second shot at life, however, she's determined to get what she wants. She's going to live—and die—for battle this time! Make way for the Merciless Maiden!
My First Impressions: The anime seems very slice-of-life but with sections where the main character goes off to fight and win over a random group of bad guys. Even after a few episodes in, there's no real story. I may continue watching this, but wouldn't recommend it.

Summary:Few titles are more revered among horndogs-(ahem) connoisseurs of Japanese erotic video games-than Magical Explorer. One day, our smut-loving hero wakes up to find he has been reincarnated into the body of the game's dreamboat protagonist! Or rather, his hapless comic-relief best friend, Takioto Kousuke. But with his unparalleled knowledge of Magical Explorer and Kousuke's unorthodox abilities (a scarf that doubles as a fist?), our hero vows to turn the game's unluckiest loser into its mightiest heartthrob. In this world, nothing is out of reach when you've got the know-how!

Summary:After journeying alongside her fiancé on his quest to defeat the Demon King, Romelia is deemed useless and sent home, her engagement annulled. While the prince and his group return as celebrated heroes, Rome goes home as a disgrace. But she's not the same girl who left her province. While following the adventurers, Romelia was the only one without magic or strength but she found her own abilities in trade, negotiation, finances, and gathering information. And now, she plans to use these skills to not only help her family's province, but help the still struggling kingdom. The Demon King may be defeated, but his allies and demons continue to roam. With only her wits and brilliance, Romelia will build an army of her own and keep the kingdom safe—no matter what it takes.
My First Impressions: This anime is better than I expected. It's more realistic in terms of a group of newer army recruits fighting. They seem to learn a little fast, but timeline is a little slippery so maybe it's just the pacing. It's not a slow pacing which is also nice. I'm not a fan of some of the secondary characters, but they're okay. I don't expect this anime to be great, but it's different from most other stuff.

Summary:When Satou Takahiro is swept away from his ordinary life into the world of his favorite video game, a universe of space battles, interstellar colonies, and danger in the vastness of outer space awaits. Soon, he’s living as “Hiro” the mercenary, with a tricked-out spaceship and a babe on each arm! There are space pirates to fight, girls to rescue, and trouble to get into (and hopefully out of). Hiro is going to live his new life to the fullest!
My First Impressions: The characters are rather stereotypical, but it's refreshing that the main character is just doing whatever he wants, fighting to make money. I don't think it'll be anything great, but it's likely enough to be entertaining.

Summary:When Lorna manifests a completely useless ability, she's labeled an embarrassment to her family and kicked out of the house. With no money or food, she's about to hit rock bottom. But then, she figures out how to use her supposedly worthless SSS-Rank skill, "Internet." This cheat-level talent gives her the know-how to gather an unlimited amount of valuable items and easily acquire rare equipment. Armed with godlike knowledge, Lorna's free to do anything she wants! If only she could figure out what "lmfao" means...
My First Impressions: I watched ep1 and the characters and world building seem rather dumb. <not watching unless recommended>

Summary: Takatsuki Makoto is a normal high school student and a hardcore RPG player. However, "normal" goes out the window when his whole class is involved in a bus crash and whisked away to another world! Powerful gods rule this strange new land of magic and monsters, and every newcomer is blessed with strong stats and unique skills. Well, not quite. Makoto's stats turn out to be pathetic, and his skills are super weak compared to his classmates'...he's even stuck as an apprentice mage. Worse still, he's given only ten years to live! Luckily, Makoto soon meets a minor goddess named Noah, who appears in Makoto's dreams and asks him to become her first believer. With the help of Noah's blessings and a divine weapon, Makoto seeks to become strong enough to rescue his goddess from the dungeon where she's been trapped. By training hard and using his weak skills in unorthodox ways, Makoto proves that, even when playing on hardcore difficulty, an RPG player always makes it to the end!
My First Impressions: This seems like your typical anime where the main character is deemed "useless" but is actually over-powered. It's just full of tropes. It's not bad exactly, but there's also nothing really different that makes it stand out.

Summary: Sota Oshio is a high schooler who works part-time at his family's café. One day, he sees his classmate Koharu Sato being persistently bothered by several boys at the café and steps in to help her. Koharu is usually known for her "salty" attitude and acts cold toward others, but that's just her way of protecting herself—she shows a softer side only to Oshio. While Oshio runs the café’s Minsta account and is known for his excellent photography, Koharu is terrible at taking photos. Because of this, the two start spending more time together under the pretense of practicing photography. In reality, they've both had feelings for each other since their first meeting in school, but neither can easily express their true emotions. Their awkward, mutual crush slowly develops in this slow-burn youth love story.

With the world in the palm of his hand, how will he choose to use his newfound powers...?
My First Impressions: It's not bad, but there isn't much of a story. It has potential but could go either way. Pacing is actually not bad though.

Summary:Born into a long line of knights, Fia is determined to become a knight herself, just like all her siblings. But a brush with death awakens memories of her past life as a Saint–a woman who wields rare, powerful healing and protection magic–along with the ability to use that magic herself!

She vows to stay on her knighthood path and keep her powers a secret forever! But how can she resist using her newfound powers when they're just so useful?
My First Impressions: The main character is a ditz, and her family members are a bit dumb, but thankfully the other characters are not. I want to see more of the dragon! So far though, it's nothing I would recommend but it's entertaining enough to keep watching.

A timid villainess × strongest fiancé — What will be the outcome of this “fateful bet”…?
My First Impressions: Seems like your run-of-the-mill shoujo romance but with the otome game trope thrown in. It's not terrible so far, but also not great. I'll likely keep watching it, but it's not something I would recommend either.
