This first one had an interesting premise. The downside is that a lot of the characters are pretty much shonen tropes. And the main character goes between cool and insufferable way too much. Still, it was overall pretty decent.

This next one is a dark fantasy that plays with some of the tropes and comes up with something fresh. I don’t know why, but the animation feels almost as if the animators behind “Heavy Metal” decided to try out anime.

Third, we have an isekai. Sort of. It was on a couple of lists of good “reverse isekai,” but I’m not sure I would call it that. I will say that the main character is annoying to the point of being someone I actively disliked. The supporting cast kept me going, and I was glad of it.

This last one is more or less the standard high-school rom-com, but it does some twist and turns from the standard tropes. And the characters are enjoyable.
