JoJo occasionally has a second eyecatch around 2/3 or 3/4 through an episode. It probably sneaks in because it's not by a normal commercial break.

Honestly, most eye catches suck but I'm bummed we don't get some of the really good ones either.
I don't know much about the new season of Mob S2 aside from the amazing first episode and dope op, but looking if they stay the same style as the one from episode one then it's a real bummer they'll be cut.

There are many things that could replace Megalobox, but there's only one real choice.
...Have I become Jarate?
...Have I become Jarate?
Of course, Jacob is getting a flood of "But Naofumi had no choice buy to buy a slave" and as someone who has watched several episodes, I'm going to dispell that counter-argument.
There is a very limited window that you could argue it was an "in-universe" necessary evil, but eventually Naofumi straight up gets called out on being a slave owner and through a rigged duel, he's forced to release his slave Raphtalia. Raphtalia then proceeds to argue how she's actually happy to be Naofumi's slave, and the people most invested in freeing her are portrayed as being self righteous.
Despite her being clearly in love with him, and he no longer even needing to have her as a slave, since she'd clearly remain his party member regardless, she chooses to become his slave again. And then he buys another slave on top of that who, surprise surprise becomes another waifu.
So yeah, the show starts to fucking indulge in that shit.
Lots of isekai depicting slavery as a positive is hardly a new trend. Shit, I remember reading about a couple that had underage slave harems as part of it. So I have kinda hard time believing that Shield Hero is worse than that.The big difference with Shield Hero is that for God knows what reason it's actually popular and thus talked about.
Either way, I ain't watching it. Isekai garbage is my least favorite genre of anime by a wide margin, especially if it handles sensitive topics poorly like so many do. I'm currently tolerating SAO because of the insane ammount of fuckery, but if not for that, I'd have already tuned out.

"Couldn't you just free her and just keep her as a servant or assistant"
"Hmm good point let me just ignore that"
Master of Ragnarock was one of them, & the hero clearly had the power, both physically & politically (from what I've heard) to stop it, but he just buys a mother & her....clearly-not-legal year old daughter because "he'll be nicer to them compared to someone else" and they get added to the harem because it needed more variety to fulfill different fetishes.
You know this genre is a dumpster fire when Sword Art Online is one of the "good ones".
Well, one could consider the original Land of Oz books an Isekai series.
I have never watched an Isekai and probably never will.
You probably have and just didn't realize it. Isekai just means "another world", so any series that involves the hero being transported to another world can be considered and Isekai. The Wizard of Oz, Samurai Jack, Alice in Wonderland, The Chronicles of Narnia
There are some isekai stories I like. It's not really a genre, so much as it's a plot device.
It's just often used in really lazy ways.

Honestly, this argument is starting to annoy me as much as "lol Tom and Jerry is technically an anime too".
Fine I have never watched any of the shitty Isekai's.
Or Log Horizon, another one of the good ones.
Then again, that dub...
Well it sounds like we don't need to give SAO anymore competition then.
We certainly do not, they both suck when all is said and done.
The only thing I can remember from Inuyasha nowadays is that old Adult Swim promo they used to show all the time.
I think what seperates Shield Hero from most other shows is it goes out of the way to acknowledge the actual negative connotations of slavery and then proceeds to double down on the indulgence.
It actually goes into "The White Man's Burden-esque" justification for why it's okay for Naofumi to own his slaves.
More than the number of people who got this reference it seems
OP
OP
For the all the shit you can give Kishimoto I'll at least that he's at least doesn't sexualize his younger characters. The fucking state of anime when that's something I can give someone credit for.
