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!

An unknown event gave alternate-past Victorian Londoners a random superpower, and their numbers became pronounced enough to attract the attention of worried politicians. Or something.
Really interesting! I guess it’s worth watching, but it slide sideways and got too strange to follow. It really needed more seasons to figure it’s shit out, but the woke brigade MeToo-dogpiled Joss Whedon without evidence so he got shunned.
Abandoned – Drama

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.
Inspired by Mushoku Tensei – (2012 book), by Rifujin na Magonote

A group of superpowered purchased-orphans try to save the world.

A bunch of superheroes aren’t so super.
Awesome, but I had to stop watching because I was recommended not to.

A kickass preacher is infected with a power, and for some reason there’s a vampire.
Maybe it has potential, but it’s scatterbrained and kept sliding into slow moody boringness.

The son of a billionaire family survives them in a plane crash in the Himalayas, and returns after being raised by monks only to find their ancient enemies throughout his old home and business. Basically Marvel’s Batman.
At first I was going to ignore this series, because the Iron Fist trailer made it look like utter trash, but the YUR A WHITE MALE “mainstream liberal media” response made me interested.
Even though the superhero genre is generally tiring, this show is well worth watching, and its response is a beautiful example of fake news manufactured by “social” “justice”.
