But even so, I keep thinking about stuff from the death game portion like ... well, it just seems bizarre how the game works. I don't get why Kirito is so powerful. I guess this is stuff you are supposed to ignore because deep down it's just a romance plot. But even at that level, Kirito is so relentlessly boring.
Well if you think Kirito in death gun is powerful you won't like what he'll end up in Alizia arc if they ever get to make it into anime!
I thought the first half the second season was stronger than the second half of the first, but weaker than the first half of the first. Shion was a decent enough character, but Kirito's Mary Stuishness was on full burn for the entire arc after it had already overstayed its welcome.
And the last 2/5 of the second season is just... wow. Really, really powerful. What the whole series should have been, if it had had a larger budget, I think.

Ironically that's the one part i have zero idea. Haven't watched much anime lately and the book that covers it is the one i forgot to buy. Well i'll get it sooner or later
Apparently that episode from Violet Evergarden is based on material from the light novel. Everything up to that point was more like an anime only introduction (with some smaller pacing issues).
I'm just getting into anime, I've watched season one of Konosuba over the last week and I'm binging season 2 now. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I've seen both seasons of Attack on titian, Prison School (which I found hilarious too) and I've been keeping up with Darling in the Franxx.
Basically I like kind of rude comedy and fight scenes. Any recommendations?

And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.

You mean Shimoneta? That show is lewd. Hilariously lewd.

Violet Evergarden today was good, really good, season finale episode good, but wait a minute.. we still have five episodes to go in this season (IIRC), so it'll be interesting to see where we go from here.
Latest episode of Overlord was also quite pleasing, watching Sebas to go work like that.
And yay, always good to see more folk enjoy Konosuba, it's a bag of done to death tropes, but done quite well and presented in a fun way. Now if they'd hurry up with the third season already..
The first half of Season 1 is good. The second half is so-so. The First Third of Season 2 is blech. The second bit of S2 is worthless, the last third of Season 2 is genius-level science fiction.

Is it wrong that when Sebas murdered the feth out of that corrupt cop (like, holy gak 0_o) the first thing I thought of was that scene from Kung Pow where a mook gets a perfect cylinder punched out of him? You know, this one (go to about 1m13) -

Proceeds to give him the back of the hand a good five times.
He kicked out all of his blood and left him to die in agony.
He doesn't balk at murdering people, but unlike his underlings, he does not view humans with outright disgust like some almost everybody else out there.
Putting the next bit in spoilers, because it's from the novels.
Spoiler:
Thing is, Sebas is one of the few characters in the cast with a positive alignment rating (everybody else is EVIL), though this shouldn't be surprising as his creator was Touch Me, who despite being a massive armoured bug monster, was someone who always believed in doing good wherever possible.

Yeah, I gathered that from him too. Of course, this would put him at odds with the rest of the minions, who would feel baffled by his moral compass. I think Ains will let him go though. Sebas will probably spin it as him getting into the government's good books (he did help shut down a crime cell, after all), which would enable him to infiltrate and spy on the nobles, and Ains would understand his morality.

So, I have a prediction about what's going to happen in Overlord -
- Its evident that the guardians are developing a free will of their own, instead of being automatons. This is encouraged by Ainz
- Its also evident that Deimiurg is already up to something (not to mention you see him fighting Ainz in the opening. Thanks for the spoilers!), and even Albedo is questioning his orders
- The series (both animated and paper) is probably going to build up to a civil war between Ainz and the Guardians. The former wants to subjugate humans in a relatively humane manner, and the latter wants to exterminate / enslave them. Sebas, Cocytus and the human heroes will help Ainz. That's the only way I can see how Ainz's power could be threatened, because Nazarick is considerably stronger than anyone in the world. Even a basic lich can cast high tier magic.

Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is a classic in that genre.
More recently, Space Dandy could be worth a go. Redline is a good film, too. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure might be something for you, too, but I can't personally vouch for it since I'm still putting off watching for no reason.
Then there's of course many decades of shows that are anything from excellent examples of the genre to outstanding and worth consideration regardless of your tastes. If you want comedy, Cromartie High School and Nichijou are all-stars.
