Sakugan is an anime that is very easily compared with Made in Abyss because of a number of key factors in its setting and premise. That said, this episode actually ended up feeling like very much its own story and by the end of it I was ready for more. Be sure to read the full review.
Post sponsored by Lynn Sheridan. I'm wondering if I'm supposed to be overthinking the god's motives here? Or is it just a case of coincidence and misunderstandings? While episode 13 of Jobless Reincarnation wasn't as emotionally charged as episode 12 it still delivered some good moments.
I covered the first three episodes of Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy for a watch or drop post and wasn't amazed by this series but was happy enough to continue it. Surprisingly, this anime turned out to be one of the stronger isekai titles from the season. Be sure to read the full review.

Post sponsored by Matt Doyle (Author of Ailuros) From the creator of Death Note and Bakuman we now get Platinum End (that is kind of looking like Future Diary). Whether that ends up being a good thing or not will really depend on how this unfolds. That said, while this first episode lacks subtlety there's something quite enjoyable about genre fiction that doesn't feel the need to be self-aware or apologetic. Be sure to read the full review.
The Isolator is a complete story on its own but it does set up an ongoing series.
Wow that is one long title and way to stuff the entire premise into the title. So what is the first episode of 'Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside' like? Be sure to read the full review.
