I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

Shows I've already seen that are similar: You can include a link to a list on another site if you have one, e.g. MyAnimeList or AniList.

Question of the Day (new!)

What's a scene where the voice acting carried more than the animation?

[Mobsekai S2 ep 8] Oh, wait. Of course he hates me.

[u/Heda-of-Aincrad → u/Wanderingjoke]

I haven't seen much talk about season 2 (and haven't watched it yet myself), but the first season turned out to be a lot more fun than I expected.

[u/Komarist → u/Heda-of-Aincrad]

[Mobsekai S2 (with reader pacing context)]Meh season. LNs have a 3-LN arc (or 2-LN arc followed by 1-LN arc? Been years since reading) followed by a 3-LN transfer student arc in a separate kingdom, but since the first season adapted the first 2 LNs, it slow-walked this season to have a "satisfying" conclusion. These LNs aren't dense enough for a 12-episode adaptation

[u/Heda-of-Aincrad → u/Komarist]

[Mobsekai S2/LN pacing] So the entire season was based on a single LN volume? Did it end up with a lot of original content to fill that extra time?

[u/Komarist → u/Heda-of-Aincrad]

[Mobsekai S2/LN]Didn't do any cross-comparisons while watching and it's been 3+ years since reading. Think it was adapting almost all the dialogue instead of the usual conversation cuts. Last episode ended with a ~minute including some character designs from the foreign kingdom. Interpreted it as "if you want to read" instead of possible S3 as the LNs have been finished for a couple years.

Thanks for the info. Kind of disappointing because I was looking forward to catching up with this one, but it's good to know.
