So after watching the second episode of the Seiyuu Radio anime, I went back to check the manga, and yeah, they are just absolutely gutting the source material. We've already sped through seven chapters, cutting out most of the deeper character work and interesting factoids about the entertainment industry that made the story work in the first place in favor of pure plot functionality. Just read the manga if it's got your interest at all, it's so much better on every conceivable level.

Watching ep 1 of Seiyuu Radio: "Okay, Gyaru x plain girl is either a homerun or a complete miss for me with very little middle ground usually but I am liking these two's antagonistic relationship with each oth-"
*Girl who looks like she's not had a good night sleep in weeks walks into frame *
"Anime of the season confirmed."

SPRING 2024 ANIME RECOMMENDATIONS
The anime industry needs to chill the fuck out. Literally stop. This isn't your heart.
If you somehow have time left over after the 86,000 returning series this season, watch these new cartoons also.

ZACK’S RECOMMENDATION #1: Kaiju No. 8
For the sake of full disclosure, I ended up dropping this manga after about a year when due to a number of reasons I had to play catch-up on a bunch of Jump and Jump+ titles. I ultimately decided cuts needed to be made and this was one of them, but I made that cut with the full knowledge that it would eventually get a kick-ass anime and I was right because I’m always right.
The anime looks better than I’d hoped and sounds better than I imagined. The background music sounds like something from a blockbuster movie, and I mean that as a compliment, considering that's basically what it is. Even if you’re not really into kaiju, this is still worth checking out. Unless you’re allergic to beautiful animation and/or poop jokes.
ZACK’S RECOMMENDATION #2: A SALAD BOWL FULL OF ECCENTRICS
This series became a lock for my recommendation this season (even over the train anime, which is very good and you should also watch) the moment I discovered it’s based on a light novel by the same guy who wrote Haganai and A Sister’s All You Need. I’ve never read any of the novels in question because I’m illiterate but I enjoy both of those anime very much (though I will admit that the latter is not for everyone). Haganai transed my gender and for that reason alone I will support Yomi Hirasaka (by watching and recommending anime adaptations of his books. Alas! if I could only read) ‘til my dying day.
This was a solid premier on its own merits, as well. The characters are fun and likeable, the jokes land pretty much every time (at the very least, I can’t immediately think of any that didn’t), and reverse isekai stories are still uncommon enough to be fun. There is the unfortunately ever-present concern that Our Hero will turn out to be a sex pest, but based on Hirasaka’s track record I’m not too worried about that. Really, more than Haganai or A Sister’s All You Need, the anime this premier kept making me think of the most was Hanamatsuri (side note: you should watch Hanamatsuri.)
Also, look at her. She’s reading Detective Conan. I’m reading Detective Conan. That’s so cool of both of us.

CHARLIE’S RECOMMENDATION #1: Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Cheat Powers
Fairly standard fare for the cozy isekai sub-genre, but it’s a decent way to spend half an hour, if you don’t mind the harem aspects.
CHARLIE’S RECOMMENDATION #2: Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again
It was fine, I guess. Watched it because the premise seemed cute, and I wasn’t wrong. Felt like a short comic but animated, and the art was good. Really wish they didn’t have family members lusting after the grandparents, though.
