There are definitely too few shows like them. I would appreciate more anime tackling stories after the characters graduate from high school.
I should note that it's far more of a comedy than anything else, but it deals with characters dealing with moving into adulthood while being otakus.
an odd more down to earth slice of life comedy about otakus.
but I think you will enjoy it given what I know about your tastes.

Laughing Salesman NEW 05
Okay heres the thing about this show that kinda bothers me. Moguro seeks these people out. They never come to him, he just kinda shows up and then forces them into a deal thats impossible, and punishes them when they break it. The second half of this episode is a happy housewife who feels slightly unfulfilled, so Moguro shows up an ruins everything. What a dick. These people don't deserve it.

You should buy some A-Pon gear. She's the sad sack who gets the Muse arc in the movie where she keeps losing for years and years.
More Ds are better!
And I'm sure most of them do though lol.

Casshern Sins ep.7
Wait, Casshern didn't directly cause anything to die this episode? I'll consider that a happy ending to the episode because Ringo is so damn cute.

That's the point? I'm not sure why people think the show wants us to think Moguro is in the right and his clients/victims are in the wrong when the show does everything in its power to present the opposite view.

Yeah I know, but the show is just a bit too dour and depressing even for me.

That's understandable. The show is about as cynical as it gets. "Society hates you and is out to ruin your life and you can't escape it no matter what." Thanks!

Casshern Sins ep.8
Gotta say that was a pretty damn good musical overlay to the episode with some nice action towards the end. These two make a nice duo.

Zero Kara 4
Every new episode of this show just furthers the fact that the witch REALLY wants to fuck this tiger. Like there is always a scene dedicated to how much she wants him.

Eccentric Family 8
My goodness what a heavy episode. Basically all in on the relationships everyone in the Shimogamo family had with Soichiro and how those relationships have evolved since his passing. A few takeaways: frog bro is most certainly best boy, escoecially now that the burden driving him to his current situation has been revealed; Tosen is still the absolute best, one of the best anime moms out there; Akadama's not all bad; and really this family is actually great, I can't really say I've seen too many family dramas this well constructed in anime.

I just assume 99% of people who watch anime are masochists; so in turn they enjoy wasting their precious time on something that brings them misery and self-loathing for years to come.

Aldnoah zero.... the show that makes me ashamed that I watch anime. Even more so than the most egregious ecchi and hentai.
Aldnoah zero is a bane to my weeaboo existence

Huh, the upcoming Shaft film Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom? is an adaptation of the Shunji Iwai TV drama, I wasn't interested in this film prior but I'm a little interested in it now even if the man himself has no hand in this adaptation. Speaking of which, still need to watch Hana and Alice.
Real talk though, Re:Creators is a show with a very promising concept, pretty nice if generic designs, and has a director who is capable of so much more. Yet it seems to just feel content being the bare minimum of what it needs to be, lacking ambition or creative spark. How can you have a show about a dozen or so fictional characters coming into the real world from different works, and yet spend three whole episodes following just one pair - the most boring of the lot? For an original IP that desperately needs to hook an audience in the face of so much competition in an oversaturated industry, this seems like a bad decision.

Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor Episode 3 The Fool and Death
This ends up being so much interesting than I ever even imagined from the synopsis and more before the season started. Hopefully we get the novel in english released publisher some day. I love Glenn Radars and his abilities are so awesome. I also loved how determined he was going through even after shedding all that blood.
Only issue with this series is that the spells are so long one wonders why no one doesnt just attack and interrupt, the baddie even commented about it but still took the hit/politely waited for him to finish the spell.

Grimoire of Zero ep.4
Ok, I admit, watching these three travel together is kind of fun. The show definitely has some quirks, but the character interactions and sense of adventure is making it a decent watch.
Dammit, why do you have to make me sound like that kinda white tiger...
Oh, dammit you two, knock it off already!!

It'll be a shame when grimoire of zero eventually ends with a "go read the Ln" ending.

The most interesting thing about Fireworks is that it is directed by Nobuyuki Takeuchi, a very talented animator whose most famous work is episode 9 of Penguindrum. The trailers haven't been particularly impressive, but I'm still interested in seeing how his work turns out.
I don't know what's up with Ei Aoki. He seems to have completely dried up since founding TROYCA.

WorldEnd: What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us? Episode 2
Just tell us the backstory without all this present day stuff, its just so intriguing.

Never actually watched Penguindrum but he seems like a mighty talented individual, a lengthy history of key animating with a portfolio that spans a few Ghibli films, Patlabor and Utena before his tenure at Shaft. Interesting indeed.

nah just the way it is trending in terms of popularity and the pace of the show itself and the source material too.
And if Zero is as popular of a character as I think she is (which seems to be quite popular) then I feel like it is a shoe in for at least another 12 episodes

I don't think popular LN Anime necessarily means sequel does it? I'm sure there have been plenty of popular shows based off manga/ln that never got a sequel.

I'll beg once the season is done if it stays fun like this.

They really dialed back the ecchi this season and kept it fun without... kudos director!

This feels different. Not saying I am right or wrong nor that I have any information (cuz I really don't) it's just the reactions I have been seeing elsewhere and this is seeming to lend itself to being a more longform show.
Horizon fans on suicide watch.
If I wasn't enjoying myself, I'd walk away. I don't have time to consume media I'm not enjoying. Its why I started on anime and manga in the first place. I was a sick tired reader of superhero media. I though it was going to be a temporary break though and I'd return to supers media. Hasn't really happened though.

The thing is, of course, decisions on whether to make anime sequels or not often have to do with business considerations that aren't made public knowledge (see duckroll's mention of Horizon).

Oh trust me I know.
But there are too many things going right for the show (unless it shits the bed) to not get a second season.

This sounds more like you're repeating it to yourself in hopes that if you say it enough it becomes true lol. I mean don't get me wrong id be down, so I'll support it.
This show is dead outside of Japan...really doubt it is doing that well there either.

Your line of thinking is skewed. It isn't rare for anime to be made so that the audience goes and buys the source material. All the anime is for, is advertising pretty much. Basically, NEVER expect an LN adaptation to have a second season of all things. You will end up very disappointed in the long run lol.

The Royal Tutor Episode 3 You Don't Need to Accept Me
Comedy of the season, the horse scene was hilarious as was the bed scene.
Kai scenes are my favorite, hes the best older brother and just has such good faith and trust in his brothers, he also always says just the right things.

isn't log horizon basically caught up to the light novels (maybe one book off) and ever since the author was arrested for tax evasion he hasn't put out any new books (that I know of) despite the fact that he was confined to house arrest?

Wrong Horizon.
Unless your show is megapopular, chances are it's not getting a sequel. The corporations that finance this stuff aren't generally interested in seeing a complete work adapted unless the source material is pretty much done and they can jam it all into one cour. You have to remember that most of the industry at this point is producing long-form commercials.
