esc27@lemmy.worldto Anime@ani.social•Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 28]English2·4 days agoFell behind on several series from last season, some I’ll finish, some will just be in the queue forever. Starting this season behind as well…
Finished:
Apocalypse Hotel - 5/5 - My favorite new series for the season. Just a wonderful mix of creative situations, crazy, heartfelt, character development, etc. The show had range but never lost itself and ended well.
A Ninja and Assassin Under One Roof - 5/5 - My other favorite new series for the season. I put Apocalypse hotel just over it, but this is the one I want more of and will likely watch again in the future. One of the best opening episodes in a while. It hit a bit of a rough patch early but recovered (and those episodes work better with the later context.)
Apothecary Diaries - 5/5 - Remains excellent. This part fell a bit short of expectations compared to the novel, but may also have been the most challenging part to adopt (lots of political world building and interconnected plot threads all pulled together at once.)
The Unaware Atelier Meister - 3/5 - Seemed to have potential, enjoyable enough, but also rather forgettable.
I’m an Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire - 3/5 - Trash, but watchable, especially for the brief bits of mecha and space fleet battles.
Killing Slimes 300 Years - 3/5 - I remember really enjoying the first season. Watchable, but the slice of life bits aren’t always my thing. I think what made the first season for me was the steady drip of new, interesting characters. This season, starting with an established cast, had less of that.
Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl - 3/5 - First have was enjoyable. Interesting premise, avoided several harem tropes. But once the initial story bit was done and the love interests confessed, it sort of turned into filler and I lost interest.
Unfinished but plan to continue:
Once Upon a Witches Death - Seems like a good show overall. The serial nature and lack of focus on the overall plot made it less compelling to keep up with.
Aharen-san - I remember loving the first season, not sure why I started skipping this one, so will probably pick it back up.
Dropped:
Witch Watch - Watched a few episodes. It has its good moments, but too many annoyances. Might give it a second look.
Summer Pockets - Watched the first episode, was interested, but not hooked
Kowloon Generic Romance - Watched the first episode, was interested, but not hooked
Too-Perfect Saint - Watched a bit, read the first two light novels, they were fine. Don’t feel the need to continue the anime.
Brilliant Healer’s new Life - Read a few of the light novels. Too much of the stuff I didn’t care for, not enough plot or character progression. First few episodes were fine, but I never planned to finish it.
The Beginning After the End - Watched a few episodes, picked up the light novels, got burned out on the plot escalation.
This Season, First Impressions
Secrets of the Silent Witch - Excellent start. Better than expected. Really looks like the people making the anime have read and care for the source. Hopefully it keeps up, especially once it gets into the actual story.
Reborn as a Vending Machine - Picks backup where it left off. Seems to be beyond the light novels now. I’m not sure about this demon load subplot, and I don’t know that the novelty of the series can sustain the story. But maybe.
Plenty more in the queue, some I’m sure will be excellent.
esc27@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon studyEnglish11·6 days ago30% might be high. I’ve worked with two different agent creation platforms. Both require a huge amount of manual correction to work anywhere near accurately. I’m really not sure what the LLM actually provides other than some natural language processing.
Before human correction, the agents i’ve tested were right 20% of the time, wrong 30%, and failed entirely 50%. To fix them, a human has to sit behind the curtain and manually review conversations and program custom interactions for every failure.
In theory, once it is fully setup and all the edge cases fixed, it will provide 24/7 support in a convenient chat format. But that takes a lot more man hours than the hype suggests…
Weirdly, chatgpt does a better job than a purpose built, purchased agent.

There was a moment in my evil playthrough of fallout 3 where I robbed a man’s house, killed him in his sleep, ate him, then slept in his bed. After a moment of clarity, I closed the game and never played that save again.
