personally i love Rising of the Shield hero
it still has “the usual stuff”, but the added obstacles they dumped on the protagonist was a nice diff from recent stuff i watched
but i’m also a sucker for a lot of the isekai and fantasy stuff. Bunch of people will say overlord aint that good, and i love it, despite being a ridiculous power fantasy.
Kenjo no Mago would probably be considered bland and paint it by the numbers, but i’m still super into because unlike Overlord or how to summon a demon lord it’s a power fantasy with more down to earth mc, (even if the applied “realism” is a bit silly sometimes). -so that’s the kind of gnome/taste your dealing with 
But Rising of Shield Hero is probably my current favourite watch of the week enjoying it even more than i did That Time i Got reincarnated as a Slime, so i’m glad Hero’s season aint over yet.
give it an episode or 2 maybe to check out if you’re into that isekai stuff
i was considering applying for a “necro badge”
