This op is so good. I don't even watch the show and I love it LOL.

OP is the best part!!!

In seriousness, even compared to your average shounen action type anime, this one seems to play it pretty extremely safe. I don't think a single thing has surprised me yet outside of gag episodes. I remember just last episode I watched, a character started losing to three new bad guys, and I even thought, well this is probably the part where three other good guys will show up at the last minute to help him out. And then that happens exactly. I'm still watching it because the characters are great...but gosh, I've seen Hanna-Barbera cartoons that surprise me more than this show.

Also it's a bit of a genre gripe, but I hate how so many mangaka are incapable of making actual underdog characters. Don't tell us the MC is a loser if he wins every fight and has a harem of girls that fall in love with him for almost no reason.

So far i'm only watching Jojo which I love. Definitely started way more interesting and entertaining than DiU. 

Think I pretty much dropped Goblin Slayer and SAO. 

Jojo is awesome so far, I like the way it's playing out. New cast seems really interesting, probably more than Part 4 IMO. That opening with Abbachio in particular was pretty surprising.

Though...my favorite part of Part 4 was its awesome villain, so the Part 5 villain will really need to step up to match that.

I also dropped SAO. People keep telling me this is where SAO gets good, but throwing the most boring anime MC ever into a new world with brand new characters is basically the last thing I wanted to see from this franchise. I'm still enjoying Goblin Slayer though...even if I think the initial hype was kind of annoying.
