That's excellent news! I know the show's tone threw some people off, but I really enjoyed season 1. Hopefully the animation quality remains excellent.

The visuals look nice; I look forward to seeing how they animate the badminton matches.
As far as I remember there is one other scene like this in Dandadan, out of over 150 chapters. So it's not the main focus, but this is also not the last time.
I totally get it though. I bounced off this manga the first time I tried to read it because of that scene.
Note that Turbo Granny isn't a Dandadan-specific reference. She's a well-known Japanese urban legend.
That's good; the manga didn't move especially quickly and I didn't think this story could leave a strong impression in only 12 episodes.
The part of your workday that you’re most likely to die during is your commute, especially if you drive, which is not covered by DoL or OSHA.
FWIW this is because of DoL and OSHA making sure that once you get to work they have to keep you reasonably safe. This was not always the case in the past.
Thanks for the explanation! Does this apply only to anime or does it also apply to manga?
Read the first 6 chapters of NO\NAME! This one was pretty cool. People receive powers based off their names. Our protagonists are name cops investigating a string of murders.
Read some Sailor Moon. I'm almost halfway through (roughly corresponding with the early episodes of Sailor Moon S), and what's struck me hardest about it is just how different the manga feels due to the absence of all the filler I'm used to from watching the anime. On the one hand, it's mostly great! It's like watching the anime, but only with the parts where things actually happen! On the other hand, I'm realizing that most of the characterization of the sailor scouts (aside from Sailor Moon herself) came from those filler episodes. Overall it feels like they have a little less personality in the manga as a result.
Finished Jujutsu Kaisen. It was overall good, but in the end the author cared way too much about his power system and not enough about the characters. One of the few epilogue chapters was dedicated almost entirely to ramblings about simple domain that nobody really cared about at that point for example.
I played the demo of this game during Next Fest. It had stunning visuals, but the gameplay didn't really grab me.
They still make some incredibly cool Transformers toys, as long as you have enormous piles of money to pay for them with.
I can't really say whether the new one is better or worse than the old, but I think it's probably worth watching for a Spice and Wolf fan. My impression is that the execution was pretty good; most of my hangups have to do with fundamental writing choices that would probably be in both versions of the show. It's not like re-makes are always bad; just look at Fullmetal Alchemist!
From this season
Older stuff
Ping Pong: The Animation - A cool show. This is one to watch if you start feeling like too many anime look the same, or if you're tired of how every character looks like a model. This is also one to watch if you just want to see a good sports anime.
Eureka 7 - I'm only 30-something episodes in, but this show has just been getting better and better. Easily one of the best mech anime I've ever seen, assuming they don't do anything to screw it up later. Very stylish; I love the concept of mechs that fight while riding turbulence on surfboards. It also has a charming cast.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - This is another one I'm only 30-something episodes into. So far it's been really good! Not nearly as bleak as the name or the first couple of episodes would have you believe. So far, anyways. I don't like it quite as much as I like Eureka 7, but it's close.
