Earnest was then personally requested by The King to supervise, and show Blade around the academy during his stay. The story follows the students' struggles in their quest to become heroes.
My First Impressions: Rather typical, over-powered hero with stereotypical side characters. It might be fine to watch if there's nothing else, but definitely not something I'd recommend.

My First Impressions: I tried watching this, but the art and animation are pretty bad. <not watching unless recommended>

Summary: A middle-aged man with only one passion in his life meets a fitting end in a traffic accident. That's where most stories would end, but instead, this is when his story begins when he's reborn as what he admired the most in life--a vending machine! But his new lease on life(?) happens in the worst place possible--what can a vending machine do in a monster-infested dungeon when he can't speak or even move on his own?
My First Impressions: Wasn't sure about this one, but it's kind of silly in a fun way. Reminds me of the sword with the cat girl. That one was better, but this one isn't bad. Probably one of those anime I'll watch for entertainment, but wouldn't necessarily recommend to others.

Pride decides that if she's destined to die, she may as well use her royal "last boss" powers to save everyone instead!
My First Impressions: Similar to other recent otome-game anime so far with a few episodes in, but it's interesting enough to keep watching.
Link: ANN

Summary: The Academy—a school the size of an island where students compete for ranks.

The truth is, he screwed up big time, and now he has to maintain his position there no matter what. It's a liar's world, after all!
My First Impressions: I watched ep1 and it was pretty dumb, and the premise is just not interesting. <not watching unless recommended>

My First Impressions: Yet another overpowered boy isekai, but it's entertaining enough so far. This is probably one of those I'll watch but wouldn't necessarily recommend.
