    I watched #Campione the other day, and was not impressed. The worldbuilding was good--the mythology was a lot of fun!--but the idea that you have to do deep sloppy french kissing to get the information you need before going into battle was such a turn-off. I don't need to see teenagers dripping spit from a kiss, thanks, much less dry-humping on a beach; the way they do it, it just distracts from the story! Between that and the lack of other male characters of any depth, it really made the protagonist come across as a male Mary Sue character. Two thumbs down. Someone needs to take the overall approach to magic/myths from that storyline and do it properly.

    However, the "other shows like this" suggestions took me to Dances with Dragons (Or, However a sinner dances with dragons? No one seems to translate the first phrase), and that is a lot of fun. I'm finding the politics a little hard to follow but the characters are excellent. 😊

    Though wow, the number of anime where there's a common theme of "stop killing each other out of revenge!" is really surprising to me. I like it! But in today's world I keep thinking there are SO MANY people who need to hear that message.
