It feels to me people are just watching too few shows generally. I mean I have nothing against people who only watch 3 animes a season but those people also only tend to give only 5-10 animes a fighting chance.

Which brings me to your point. The most bland and generic anime of the season obviously goes to Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Kinki Kyouten. Close second goes to Hinako Note. And people would know that if they watched more animes in a season :P

What I'm saying is, is it really that hard to watch like 30-40 first eps every 3 months?

Poor Hinako Note, went in with good expectations, but eh.

I tend to watch about 20 first eps a season, keep around 10-12 but always drop to around 5-6 a season, been that way for years. It's not hard to watch 20-40 animes a season I'm just extremely picky In what animes I watch all the way through.

I've become pickier the past few seasons purely out of time constraints. If not I'd probably be watching 30 animes this season. 20 is a good baseline and 15 would be ideal but there are just too many watchable animes coming out every season. I think thanks to my pickiness I only have 18 shows this season including 2 ongoings from last season.

Speaking Hinako, I was really disappointed. Not enough to drop it but still. It's one of those shows that give K-On the bad reputation it doesn't deserve. It's just playing the greatest hits tropes without bringing a fresh twist or at least some substance to the table.

I really want to drop Uchouten Kazoku but I don't want to be kicked out of the "Cool Animes" club. It's good but it's just sooooooo fucking boring most of the time.

Sword Oratoria is by far the weakest show I'm watching this season, It's been a while since I watched something so generic as episode 2 was. Sticking with it due to Ais but god damn this is average so far, Lefiya is a terrible MC.

I watch a lot of anime, but not from a single season. Catching up with legacy anime is just as important to me as catching the best new anime. So I miss a lot of anime and don't give them much of a chance.

All I'm watching this season so far:
Attack on Titan S2
Boku no Hero Academia S2
Re: Creators
Boruto
Yowamushi Pedal S3
And that one with the super long title

I'll probably poke at a few other shows later into the season, but this is a pretty solid start.

Benten is pretty much the sole reason why I powered through the first season and have not yet dropped this season.

One of the all time anime greats that features almost exclusively adult protagonists without trying to be edgy. Also featuring one of the bestest girls of all time.

I dropped it in the middle when I noticed it was just an emotional ballad to animes instead of something cool like the thumbnail suggested.

Does it get funny at the end?

No, I don't think this one is supposed to be funny like the others.
