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.
As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).
Past Seasons
My peak streak came to an end with Ping Pong.
It was well-produced, but I don’t vibe with the story / characters.
One small thing that impressed me was that they hired Mandarin-speaking voice actors instead of butchering the pronunciation of foreign tongue like usual.
Also, I have just picked up Vivy - Fluorite Eye’s Song -. I’m just going to park my stream of thoughts here before I forget them like I did for so many other anime.
Vivy episode 2 spoiler
If the terrorists are going to demolish the building, why bother going after that politician with guns first?! Just set off the bombs while he’s still inside!
Also, if the teddy bear is so good at controlling electronics, there was no need for them to actually set off the bombs to create an escape route at the end. All it has to do is to show a fake timer, then Vivy and gang can use the chance to flee!
Next Season
Continuing
Apothecary Diaries season 2
Picking up
Lycoris Recoil shorts
Gundam GQuuuuuuX
Konosuba season 3 OVA
Killing Slimes season 2
A lot of upcoming anime got my interest. However, I simply don’t have the time to explore.
If there’s a hidden gem, hopefully there will be enough people glazing it to catch my attention.
