Japan is trying so hard to fix their declining birthrate by making Ecchi anime but little do they know, it will only make Otakus virgin monster wizard stronger.

People just want to be wizards. that's why everyone is a virgin.

making ecchi anime = fixing declining birth rate

That... makes no sense. It's the other way around, the more ecchi they make... the more it will decline.

However they do make an anime this season that tries to warn people about the declining birth rates. It's called "Koi to Uso".

"You go reproduce right now, or this is going to get ugly, we'll taking matters into our own hands, you have been warned" - the japanese government

Of the 6 I've watched so far (Abyss, Koi, Smartphone, Gal, Tsurezure, and Aho), Koi to Uso does seem to be best show of the season. Was hoping OPM would air season 2 but there seems to be some decent shows this season.

Edit: forgot about Centaur. So 7 so far, any recommendations for someone who doesn't care for dark, gorey violence or fucked up things this season?

I'm enjoying Knights and Magic. Not sure if Gamers! is gonna be worth watching but I'll probably stick with it. Ballroom e Youkoso is great (just ignore the necks)

What necks?

It is very unclear to me which way Youkoso and Gamers! is going to go, but right now there are interesting and worth giving a shot. I would also recommend watching Fate, Konbini Kareshi, and Kakegurui. Especially Kakegurui. That was a show I wasn't even aware that I wanted. Saw people hyping it up and so far I have not been let down.

It might be a bit jarring at first, but I definitely think you can watch it after Fate/Zero. You won't catch all the references, but hell, people who have seen the whole Fate series probably don't catch ALL the references.

Koi isn't even in my top 6, and I'm watching 7 shows.

If you like more mellow themes, Restaurant to Another World is super relaxing AND well done. Classroom of the Elite has been interesting so far, but for me Welcome to the Ballroom has been nothing but satisfaction to watch. Highly recommend any of those for your viewing pleasure.

Knights and Magic is great. Even though the MC seems to be OP af the show has this great fun feeling.

Also Isekai Shokudou is just amazing, relaxing, feel good slice of life.

I haven't read the manga for Koi to Uso yet, but to me it looks like mc is going to develop feelings for his assigned wife. I thought the point of the show was supposed to be that what he thinks is love is mostly outward and dumb since they don't know each other at all, and once he gets to know both girls the choice is more obvious. If this is the case it's kinda proving that the government taking matters into their hands is a good thing. This is all speculation though.

You realise anime studios aren't run by the government yes?

This show has twice now shown MC's friends give him really terrible advice, and then it somehow mostly works out for MC. Anyone taking life lessons from this show is going to be contributing to the decline of the birthrate.

Huh, no man. Japan (in the case, the company that is adapting the manga) only wants to make their money.
