Oshi no Ko - Finally picked this back up and binged all but the latest episode. I had high expectations and it easily exceeded them. 5/5

Dungeon People - Really enjoying this one. The characters and setting are fun. It doesn't do anything big and seems a bit simple at a glance, but something about it just clicks for me. 4/5

I Parry Everything - I was on the fence about this one earlier on, but it really hit a stide in the last few episodes. The total absurdity of the situation is hilarious, but I'm not sure that can be sustained in a way that works... 3/5

Slime - First part of this season was largly a bust, but the current arc's been fun. 3/5

Journey Through another World: Raising Kids - DROPPED. I'm not sure who the target audience for this was but it seems like it is for young children. Very boring. Dropped weeks ago. 2/5

A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero - Somehow this show strays into so bad it is good territory for me, but that's after skipping some of the duller bits. 2/5

Bye Bye, Earth - I really wanted to like this show, but it just refuses to do anything redeemable. The characters are awful. The world building is a disaster. The plot is nonsense. The world itself seems interesting, but is so poorly explored and executed that it is just a waste. 2/5

Dahlia in Bloom - I'm very behind on this, but what I've seen was a disappointment. The leads had no chemistry and much of the dialog (in a very dialog heavy story) was dull. (I enjoyed the light novels so the story itself is good...) 3/5

Failure Frame - I'm still on the fence on this one. I generally enjoy the isekei game system thing, but this one hasn't quite "clicked" with me. 3/5

Nokotan - Extremely hit and miss. Some episodes are gold and some are just meh. The show has a bad tendancy to stretch a joke to far so that it stops being funny. 3/5

My wife has no emotion - Really enjoying this one. Yeah it gets a bit weird at times, but the show owns that and works with it. I really enjoy how Mina's personality is conveyed with limited facial expressions and at odds with her assumed lack of emotions. 4/5

No Longer Allowed in Another World - The first few episodes were rough, but once it got going this turned out to be surprisingly good. 4/5

Pseudo Harem - The name suggests something trashy, but the show itself is actually incredibly sweet. I'm enjoying it, but it is almost too much at times. 4/5

Quality Assurance in Another World - Solid overall. I enjoy the characters, the world, the goofy dragons, etc. But seems to be lacking something that would take it from good to great. 4/5

The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant - This one falls into guilty pleasure territory. The combination of sweet and absurd just works. 4/5

Ossan Newbie Adventurer - A bit of a rough start, but it has improved as the story moved along and got passed the overly long intro arc. 3/5

The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army was a Human - A bit hit and miss. Some of the characters are fun. The story is unremarkable but fine. 3/5

Why Does nobody remember me in this world - I watched through the first arc with the fight against the demons, and just lost interest. Soft dropped. 3/5

Wistoria: Wand and Sword - This one is barely holding my interest. The visuals are good. But the rest of it just feels off somehow. I'd say it is cliché, but I like a lot of cliché shows... 3/5

Spice and Wolf - I honestly forgot this was continuing. I'll binge it later. Overall I alike and appreciate the show, but it can be exceedingly melancholy at times without enough comic relief to balance that out. I hope that has improved from where I dropped off.

So many things I agree with here, but I think you summed up Dungeon People really well. I have been really enjoying it, but I can't really point to any single thing it is doing really well. It is just a great mix of things that ends up greater than the sum of its parts.
