I watched the first episode of Love Unseen Beneath a Clear Night Sky and I don't think it should be compared to A Silent Voice at all tbh. ASV isn't a love story as much as people like to pretend that it is, yes Shoko is in love with Shoya but that plays such a minor role in both the movie and the manga that it might as well not even be there, especially since the manga ends on a wet fart and the movie ends before they actually start officially dating. ASV revolves primarily around Shoya trying to reconnect with other people and the process of healing and rebuilding burnt bridges more so than it deals with love. Also, the movie is vastly superior to the manga and I will die on that hill. Love Unseen is very much a romance story from beginning to end, it's a completely different animal.

With all that said Love Unseen is pretty good so far but I have a niggling fear in the back of my mind that the story is going to meander like crazy and waste my time moving forward. Hopefully my instinct is incorrect on that one.

Does it better compare to The Invisible Man And His Soon-To-Be Wife? (Really spoiling the ending with that title there)
 
The first episode of the new GiTS is good for what it is. Comparing it to the movie is an useless endeavour, it has a tone far closer to the sci-fi/cyberpunk/comedy typical of the manga of its era. It's both a shitton of technobabble, scenes that are cool just because, and old-style comedy. It's amusing and watchable, if I had to critique something it's the soundtrack, OP/ED are mediocre at best and the music never "pops out" in any way.

I've also wasted a bit of time on Clevatess S2. First season was the definition of a decent 7/10 fantasy anime without isekai characteristics. First episode of the second season was.... kind of rough, with a ton of time on SETUP NEW CHARACTERS SETUP. It's clumsy. I get you want your worldbuilding and proper introductions and proper planning, but it feels like "now I need to get you to speed, good, let's begin the plot next time"

It has a blind girl that an invisible man falls in love with because he feels seen by her

Sounds very sweet. But like I said, I haven't seen it so I wouldn't know how to compare it to something.

Honestly I think that the most ready comparison that I could make to Love Unseen is probably Katawa Shoujo of all things. Not because the plot or setting is similar but because Kakeru (the main guy) is a lot like Anon in the early parts of the game and I see a lot of Lily Satou in Koharu (the main girl).

And everything before wasn't bad but also in a most cases meaningless and forgettable.

Yorknew is better than chimera ants dare I say.
Also 411-413 is out but 13 is in yapanese. Someone should just kidnap Togashi and fix his spine with experimental stem cell reseach already. Or the emperor of Japan should force him to hire an assistant.

It's been a while since I've read the manga, but I still would have to disagree. It's of course slim pickings with HxH when it comes to arcs. Apart from those two the rest are pretty whatever. Maybe Greed Island is okay but still can't come close to either Yorknew or Chimera Ant.

Yorknew is certainly interesting focusing on Kurapika and the Phantom Troupe. Throw in the heist, Gon, Killua and Hisoka and the other things that happen, and it makes for something unique. But Chimera Ant for me is quintessential HxH, all the things that make it stand out from other manga come together to create something great. How Gon gets drawn into it by accident, how it's a local conflict that can spill out so the Hunter Association decides to intervene, how the conflict is paced, the idea of the Ants is fun, the power scaling is done well since the threat is tangible without being dumb, how veteran Hunters even are struggling with it, the Ant King and his relationship with Komugi and how the power system finally gets enough time and space to shine.
