At this point in time, the Winter seasonal shows have mostly either wrapped up or are airing their finale this week. So, I wanted to hear your thoughts on shows you watched this season. Shows you liked, disliked, were surprised by, disappointed by? Let those opinions rip!

    probably AOTY. I know it’s very early to say that

    Careful! Witch Hat Atelier and Daemons of the Shadow Realm are coming right up! Those are very different shows though, and Journal With Witch is very good, so I think it’ll come down to personal preference.

      I didn’t like FMA:B very much, mainly because I didn’t find the character writing compelling, so I’m not particularly excited about Daemons of the Shadow Realm. As for WHA, it’s being made by the studio that made Zom 100, so there’s a lot of uncertainty about whether they can actually pull it off. I’m more curious about Agents of the Four Seasons (by the author of Violet Evergarden) and Jaadugar (Naoko Yamada’s comeback to making TV series). If there’s anything that can topple Journal with Witch, then great. I just doubt it, because shows of this quality are quite rare.

        Have you seen Zom 100? It looked incredible. As far as I can tell the only real complaint people have is that there was a big delay while the made the last few episodes of the season. I’ll take “late but good” any day though if that’s what needs to happen to bring WHA to my TV.

          From what I’ve heard, WHA has actually finished production, so there’s hope this time there won’t be any issues. As for Zom 100 – the first episode looked incredible, but only that one episode. The rest of it was fine, I guess.

              TBH, I almost entirely forgot it. Now that I look at it, it had 2 or 3 cool shots. For me that’s above average but not yet spectacular, though (I know, I know, I’m a snob)
