I went off anime when the isekai and moe craze took off about 10 years ago.

I tried to get into modern anime, but couldn’t (JoJo is based off an 80s manga, that doesn’t count as modern to me).

But I’m on episode 3 and I’m really digging Dungeon Meishi/ Delicious in Dungeon. I’m watching the English dub and It’s like if Monster Hunter and Dimension 20 had a baby. The humour is great, I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. The world is cool too.

I like how it isn’t following the anime tropes. The characters aren’t high schoolers, the women act like real human beings, there’s no Shonen toy commercial BS. It’s just a good fun adventure.

My only criticisms are that it’s a little videogamey, it makes me hungry and that the title Delicious in Dungeon makes no sense, it should be Delicious in THE Dungeon.

Senshi is my favourite.

    Yeah, my experience with it was “wow, I don’t really like how this looks but I’ve heard enough good things about it that I’ll stick it out anyways” and then I ran out of anime and read the manga and it all made sense, because it’s just straight up shot for shot the manga turned into animation.
