This season seems to be absolutely loaded with peak!

Frieren, Love Through A Prism, Journal with Witch… Frankly, the latter two are already some of the best anime I’ve ever watched – Journal with Witch isn’t even halfway done, either. I haven’t actually started on Frieren S2 yet but, judging from audience reaction (and having absolutely loved S1), I have no doubts it’s peak.

I assume this is just me actually looking for anime again, but I’m feeling like 10 years ago. Back then, it felt like whatever was coming out was just the best! It’s a nostalgic feeling, and it’s amazing.

What other recent anime have you watched that you think is peak? Do you agree that the ones I mentioned are incredible? Are there other anime this season that you think deserve more of a spotlight?

    Checking what pops up on Grayjay’s home tab for Crunchyroll (mostly recent episodes) every once in a while, most seem either bland isekai, or bland fantasy. Or Pop Team Epic, which is just a fever dream, nothing added to the time spent watching it.

    Of the recent ones that I found good, I can remember only Frieren (which I’m still going through season 1) and With You and the Rain, both slow burners consistent in their pacing, and that despite the considerable potential for drama, only have small touches of it.

      It’s absolutely true that most anime is kinda bland and way too much of it is the same isekai slop however that’s what’s great about having threads like this! Most everything people are talking about here is excellent.

        I absolutely third that. I just enjoyed watching this show (several times) and I still don’t know why it’s good … it just is.

      Now, been finding some older anime quite entertaining, like The Big O, Zach Bell, Yu Yu Hakusho (up to season 2…), and Pokemon.
