Juuden-chan, for example. A story about magical girls who go around 'fixing' depressed people by giving them a shot of electricity, where they learn "Hey, uh, maybe drugging people into happiness is actually fucking them up, and we need to actually understand, empathize with, and try to help them, not solve everything with faux-drugs." But at the same time, the number of problematic other things in the show could fill its own series, which shouldn't surprise some because it's by the same artist as Mahoromatic who openly did quite a lot of porn. Rampant fanservice, everybody peeing because that's the artist's fetish, the 'hilarious' joke of the girls walking in on the dude undressing and him clubbing them with a bat until they develop a fetish for it. It is impossible to recommend, or watch, but it's a very thin analogy for opioid abuse, which is more substance than most things manage.
Or Chu-bra. Middle schoolers in an underwear club. And yeah, there is no way at all to dress that up well. Except the actual show was largely about body positivity, that underwear can be sexual, but it should be about being comfortable with yourself, either gender. More focused on teaching about underwear than anything, and largely inoffensive... aside from 12 year olds focused on underwear.
Or the godawfully titled "A Sister is All You Need," about a dude who wrote not-OreImo, and has a personal fetish for incest, and all his friends are other light novel authors, including a 15 year old who's obsessed with him whose gimmick is that she non-sequiturs everything he says into some form of "You could be fucking me right now if you want." Every now and then, it pulls these really almost Scrubs-esque episodes where it's them struggling with their place in the world and what they want from themselves. But most of the show is garbage, not because of anything you might assume from the above paragraph, but because it's trying to sell board games. Yes, board games. You have entire episodes where they sit around a table, explain Secret Hitler, all say their character line, and then they move on to Boggle.
Yeah I'm doing it as part of a groupwatch thing, and that seems to be how all the repeat viewers see it. They're making these detailed breakdowns of what they think every random screenshot means. But like...it's a kinda boring show about a clumsy underachiever who is magically good at one thing. It is incredibly generic. Pointing out that the overlooked glasses girl has a lot of shadow and mirror imagery isn't really that smart, and doesn't make the actual show fun or interesting.
And that diversity isn't an answer for police brutality, because it turns out women can be just as psychopathic as the men.
Someone did point out some My-HiME references in the first two episodes.

Shooooooooock!
Kuma-shock!
I don't know how to convince anyone who isn't already watching to give it a shot, but, seriously...Spy X Family is the obvious big hit this season, but everyone expected that. Birdie Wing is an anime original that nobody knew anything about and has come out of nowhere to easily rival it in entertainment quality. It doesn't have the same money and care poured into it, but it's still an incredibly fun watch.
There was a "watch where you're grabbing" joke with kids in like the first 5 minutes.
So, I couldn't get very far in watching Birdie Wing.

The first time I heard the premise of Kaguya-sama I pictured something slightly more serious, like the tone of Kakegurui.
I thought Evangelion would be about giant robot fights.

The story itself is eh but I thought bit was kind of neat. Certainly drew my attention for a bit puzzling through.
Uhhhh... E? As in Euler's number? It's a real number. Its value is between 2 and 3, IIRC. Do you mean the imaginary number i, whose value is the square root of -1?
"E" is used in scientific notation of very large numbers meaning *10, and then to a power to represent omitted digits, like 5.23E^9 is 5,230,000,000
That is technically true! For like five minutes.
And also very small numbers when the number following the E is negative. For example, 2E-9 is 2x10^-9, or 0.000000002.
