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?

    Do you agree that the ones I mentioned are incredible?

    Definitely! At least for Frieren and Journal with Witch. I haven’t start on Love through a Prism just yet; have seen the high ratings and would check it out when there’s time

    Are there other anime this season that you think deserve more of a spotlight?

    Already mentioned in the weekly discussion thread, but worth pointing out again: the latest episodes of Gnosia and Medalist have been an absolute blast to watch.

    I have also been enjoying Isekai Office Worker more than expected. It’s not like your typical isekai. In fact, when I think about it, I don’t think its target audience is your usual wish-fulfilment isekai enjoyer. I’d say its more drama? (politics?) with BL.

    What other recent anime have you watched that you think is peak?

    Wandance is both underwatched and underrated IMO. People seemed to get too hung up on the animation and such. If you are the kind of person who weigh story/writing/characters more heavily than artstyle/animation/CG/aesthetics, consider checking it out.

      I loved Wandance! I have no idea why but I so looked forward to watching it every week. The ending song is great too, I added it to my anime playlist haha. After seeing everyone talk about Journal with Witch I think I’ll give it a chance. The description sounded too slice of life for me but I’m willing to watch an episode or two.
