Previous Thread

Spring season is rapidly approaching! It’s time to start looking ahead to the next season and thinking about what is worth watching vs. what isn’t. This is also the official thread where I will watch for shows that you mention and will enable threads for those shows to be made by our resident bot, @rikka@ani.social.

Please feel free to use this thread as a normal weekly discussion thread as well! Anything that would normally be in the weekly discussion thread any other week is welcome here.

    Work has been nuts this whole month and I am at least a week behind in just about everything I have been watching, even after dropping a handful of shows mid-season. More recently, I hope everybody got some news they were waiting for during AnimeJapan this past weekend. With that said, it is time to look ahead. The neverending churn of new shows grinds on…

    Definitely Watching

    • Apotehcary Diaries - This is continuing for another cour. Everybody make sure to check out !theapothecarydiaries@ani.social and shoutout to @sag@ani.social
    • I’ve Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years - Season 2! It’s finally here and I am really looking forward to it. I need some chill iyashikei now more than ever.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX - I have never watched a Gundam series before as it airs, so this will be new. Make sure to check out !gundam@ani.social as well!
    • Rock is a Lady’s Modesty - I really like the manga for this series, but only the first volume or so has been translated, so I am not sure where it’s going. Looking forward to finding out.

    Will Try to Watch (Time Permitting)

    • The Too-Perfect Saint - I really enjoy this manga and am curious to see how this got adapted. There is a surprising amount of emotion in this one and I hope that they can build up the emotions as it goes for the payoff later.
    • A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof - I have enjoyed the manga for this series, but it isn’t a series that I feel like I need to watch after reading the manga. It’s more like I am curious about the adaptation.
    • I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! - I have seen people compare this series to one of my favorites, The Eminence in Shadow. So, I am going to try to give it a shot if I can find time.

    Might Check Out Depending on Reception

    • Apocalypse Hotel - This is an anime original in a post-apocalyptic setting. I kind of have a thing for post-apocalypse stories, so I will probably end up checking this out if it’s interesting.
    • Kowloon Generic Romance - This manga has sat on my to-read list for ages. If the anime is well-received, I might just go that route.
    • mono - I never watched Yuru Camp, but this is by the same author and I feel like a comfy SOL is just what the doctor ordered for me right now.
