A mysterious message is detected by an astronaut, who learns its senders are on their way to Earth.
Fair, and moody, but it feels like there should be more content.

Something about a woman having played a video game and being in that world and being overpowered.
Kinda stiff.

An ugly, unaccomplished, student discovers a hidden world within which he becomes a hero and transforms himself in that and the real world.
It might be quite good, but because the main character is superpowered it's a pretty shitty story angle; not recommended.

Fun and funny!

A drama about a secret society of nerds? I don't know.
Fuck man, this show is utterly alien. It's Chinese, and this storytelling is just fucking terrible. I guess I'll wait for the American version.

- Unfortunately it's partially (and badly) animated.

Aliens wipe out most of humanity for some reason, then they choose to not wipe out the rest of humanity for some reason, then stragglers struggle to survive and such.
Really really awkward writing. There is so much that makes no sense whatsoever, even in the context of the show itself. It has snippets of potential but it's overall torturous for anyone who tends to pay attention; not recommended.

Intrigue about pre-WWII Germany.
Slow, tense, and boring.

A NEET dies but finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world, where he grows into with the competence and usefulness that he ought to have been working for in his previous life.
Starts strongly, but really spirals down into pulp crap. Still perfectly watchable overall. Recommended even for people who don't like this sort of entertainment but like the sword-and-sorcery topic in general.
Watched at the end of 2022; no notes were taken.

A large town has mysterious repeated incidents the residents try to figure out.
It starts strong but gets weak and weird. Recommended for people who like reality and time-related stuff.
