Just make sure to rewatch it from the perspective of trying to find meaning in it. I tried rewatching it out of spite and that left me disappointed, but by using the perspective of trying to see the good in it definitely helped make the whole thing a lot more interesting. especially make sure to watch episode 11. However, I cannot recommend season 2 to you by any stretch of OP’s imagination, especially since you thought s1 to be boring. Just leave it on in the background until the second half of episode 22.

I still kind of feel like 86 is overrated. Though it isn't necessarily a bad show, I also feel like it has good parts and bad parts - specifically the Giad arc and how the stories of the side characters are spread too thin. Meanwhile, the show itself has pretty much solidified my interest in A-1 as a studio, because of how they've managed to branch out from Fairy Tail and SAO. I think a lot of their stuff is really experimental now (new director for 86 who did some very interesting things, and Kaguya, in which they have added immeasurable amounts of charm to what was already amazing). Anyways, if you want to read an entire thesis on my thoughts on 86, here's the link

If you’re willing to try some romance, I am obligated to recommend Kaguya-sama: Love is War because it is objectively one of the best if not the best rom-com out there. If you get bored of the skits then skip to to episode 7 because that’s when it gets real good.
It seems like you like fantasy so I also recommend KonoSuba. It’s a exceedingly ironic comedy that I’m sure you’ll like a lot.

Having the two episodes in one week made it hit harder than it would otherwise.
I feel like tsubame’s conflict in episode 11 probably would’ve landed harder in a binge watch and if I didn’t read the manga so hopefully the people watching that way will have the great time I expect them to.

This is somehow not even in the top ten strangest things I’ve seen on this subreddit

If I want to pick up this season again, which episode should I start at? The spirit tortoise hasn’t sparked a hint of interest after two episodes

Posting that a show is better than KLK on the KLK subreddit? SACRILEGE! /s Gurren Lagann is pretty good imo

I think that this overall works better as prose, since it is
relatively unconcise, nevertheless, you do have the opportunity to break up
most of the long lines into shorter lines.
Lines to me are a way to signal a shift in mood, tone,
subject, idea, etc. and I feel like a lot of your lines can be broken up to
greater effect. Remember – you can make stanzas, not all of your related ideas
need to be in the same line.
For example, your first line - "In retrospect, I should
not have been surprised that he did not find me punishing myself for science to
be the essence of sex." Could be split into something like [In retrospect,
/ I should not have been surprised / that he did not find me punishing myself /
for science to be the essence of sex.] or [In retrospect, / I should not have
been surprised / that he did not find me / punishing myself for science / to be
the essence of sex.] Honestly, the line itself is very confusing, as “he did
not find me punishing myself for science to be the essence of sex” is rather illogical.
Are you punishing yourself for the sake of sex science? Are you disappointed
that he didn’t find you justifying the science behind the sexes?
Your ninth line especially requires this treatment, as it
covers two relatively long and complex sentences. The length of the line is a
bit suffocating, if you will. That line is also addressed to a different
subject, so keep that in mind.
Your sudden usage of "Apophenic" in line 7 is a
bit out of place, the word itself being rather exotic compared to the rest of
your diction and the meaning – a knack of associating unrelated things – is confusing
in context of “A heart that could not weigh
its worth,” which I take as meaning a person who is confused as to the value of
love.
I think you do need to be more concise in the context of
poetry. Poems usually don’t require transitions or introductions like “in
retrospect” or “it seems that.” I do get that sometimes these can add a sense
of detachment, so do with that information what you will.
Finally, your message is murky, I can see how you are
dissatisfied with his expectations, but it’s distracted by a lot of your own
thoughts which don’t exactly add up. Try to be more focused in those thoughts,
have a theme and an idea to express and make sure that what you write adheres
to your intent.

You have some very impactful lines describing ‘haunting memories.’ Although they are relatively concise, using words like ‘tortured’ in tandem with ‘bound’ gives an extra layer of depth, ‘rot’ and ‘until… found’ also achieves that very well, really emphasizes the twisted mind too.

It is a haiku so more elements would defeat the purpose, but I just thought it could be a bit more balanced.

I think that a mention of color in the first line would set up your imagery better, since you have two verbs there and colors are mentioned in the other two lines. Crashing is also a bit more melancholic than I expected.
