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.
I never heard of that one, but you seemed to imply it's worse than Goblin Slayer, Surprise, and Gate. I don't dare look it up even for curiosity.
The MC is a pedo. And he's reincarnated.
I assume it's one of those "kiddie creepers care about kids and are so misunderstood about their intentions" cognitohazard messages.
I mean I straight up think it's just the authors own fantasy. Like having a pedo reborn as a kid and the implications of that isnt even good propaganda. Although I don't think any pedo propaganda can even be good. Rebranding as maps hasn't done anything for them. Probably the best niche for pedos is to become right wingers.
It's really disturbing also that this anime is extremely popular. I sometimes wonder why anime fans get a bad rap. Then I see a situation like this.
Definitely another "dare ye enter my magical realm" creepy maker issue. Similar deal with the sex pest that made Ready Player One and his issues with consent and respecting boundaries especially in his shitty book's shittier sequel.
Worse than that, "Shield Hero" was an incel revenge/power fantasy that takes their deep fear and hatred of "false SV accusations" and turns it into punitive SV with slavery characteristics.
