Fall 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).
Definitely watching
Probably watching
Will try, but they start in the drop zone (I don’t request threads for these)
There’s also a bunch of movies, but I won’t be able to see them this season, so I guess I can skip that here
For what it’s worth, here is what I wrote about the first LN volume. TL;DR: don’t put too much hope into it.
LN impressions
One of those “somehow our entire fantasy society is based on skill ranks using earth terminology, but everyone thinks ‘S Rank’ is the worst because it’s so far down the alphabet, so I get left to die by my parents because that’s totally normal parenting behaviour, but it turns out S-Rank actually means it’s good!” type of stories. I’m groaning so much reading this; my neighbors started cheering for my stamina. There is a certain charm to it, though. It reminds me of the good old days before I stopped reading web novels for the lack of quality. This book here is riddled with so many logical and temporal errors that it should never have reached the point where it got picked up for publication and stayed in WN territory. It’s ridiculous, really. Like the editor just threw in the towel and said, “Yeah, whatever…just release it”.
The better Bocchi. There, I said it!.
