Hey, y’all!

Summer’s still wrapping up, but CR just announced *some of* the new Fall shows, so here’s most of them:

First, the stuff that’s returning/continuing:

Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! S3 (***)
To Your Eternity S2 (***)
Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out S2
Spy x Family 2nd cour (***)
Muv-Luv Alternative 2nd cour
My Hero Academia. S6
Mob Psycho 100 S3
Legend of the Galactic Heroes S4 (***)

Jujutsu Kaisen - prequel movie
Berserk: The Golden Age arc
Tonikawa special episode (?) (***)

Next, new stuff:

Human Crazy University
Shinobi no Ittoki (***)
Raven of the Inner Palace (***)
Mobile Suit Gundam: the Witch from Mercury
Legend of Mana: the Crystal Teardrop
I’m the Villainess, so I’m Taming the Final Boss

And what many people have been waiting for:
CHAINSAW MAN (***)

Earliest show date announced is October 1.
Chainsaw Man premieres 10/11

stars indicate what I’m most interested in


THIS LIST ISN‘T COMPLETE - I left off the idol stuff and the sport stuff. Also, it’s almost inevitable that more will be added by, say, 10/10.

No coming attractions for HiDive, but that seems par for them.

I have a birthday coming up, so I may (or may not) be back for a bit, but I’ll at least share my (partial) Summer rankings by EOM. Hope everyone is healthy, happy, and feeling good!

Summer shows that have completed so far:
Classroom of the Elite
Rent a Girlfriend
Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World
My Stepmom’s Daughter is My Ex
Black Summoner
Vermiel in Gold

Continuing:
Parallel World Pharmacy
Engage Kiss
The Maid I Hired Recently is Mysterious

I can’t really rank them (what can I say, birthdays are complicated) except to say I lost interest in Engage Kiss fairly early, and Classroom is intricate enough that I want to binge it, rather than thread it together over the weeks. That leaves 8.

Typically for me, they were all surprises, but there’s one thing binding them together: they’ve all set up a second (or third) season - meaning they’re nothing like complete stories in themselves (Rent a Girlfriend finishes the first arc of the show & sets up the next). That said, they’re all INTERESTING.

My Stepmom‘s Daughter varies the step-sibling romance trope with the two MCs having dated in middle school before their parents met & married. The Maid I Hired is NOT like Duke of Death, beyond the bare bones: the two have completely different characters and tone (this is lighter & funnier).

Harem, Summoner, & Parallel World Pharmacy are all isekai. Harem goes straight for the meat, so to speak, and is so heavily censored that you can’t see *anything* on the screen…which is kinda nice, because there’s character stuff going on anyway; Summoner is adventure/battle-heavy, part Konosuba & part Demon King; Parallel Pharmacy is all about…pharmacy in a medieval world. All pretty well done.

Vermiel in Gold is not at all the fan-service extravaganza folks have take on it for: magic school student summons a required familiar that happens to be an actual demon. Too bad it’s on HiDive, I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops

Couple notes:
- I’m The Villainess & Gundam: Witch from Mercury both have first episodes up already

- The Last Summoner, a show I set aside to binge, lit up &got interesting right after I put it aside; turned out quite enjoyable in a weird way…and Engage Kiss seems to have done the same, so I’m picking it back up

- Fuuto PI, an out-of-season sport, looks real interesting…kept forgetting to mention…

- S4 of Kingdom just wrapped: excellent show if you’re at all interested in Chinese history (?)…and plenty more of the tale to be told (’How the Yellow Emperor unified the Warring States’)

- I’m expecting dumps of Funi stuff to increase over the next week, as they’ll be between seasons…the dumps have continued, just been sporadic (but my watchlist is growing faster than I can watch stuff: for example, Scarlet Nexus, which I expected to be another save-the-world team-combat romance…but has turned out to be VERY different, dark, & complex; and Tenchi Muyo! War in Geminar…which kinda did the reverse)

Happy weekend, y’all, and thanks for your patience!

UPDATE: the Jujutsu Kaidan prequel has also dropped already.

Oops

well lately my binges have been:

Overlord (caught up) still wondering where they are going with this
Black Summoner (finally got to the good point, ready for season 2)
Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero (not bad overall, can get a little pervy though)
Twin Star Exorcists (not bad)
Noblesse (new it was good, didn't think it was that good)
and re-watched A Wise Man's Grandchild (kids is very over powerful in it)

The Witch from Mercury is a prologue to the *entire* MSG franchise: gripping, tragic, well done.

Budman: agree re: Overlord, it’s got a weird ‘Howard the Duck’ vibe to it, if Howard were in a skeleton suit. Black Summoner is solid, but not exciting. Will watch S2. Rogue Hero is just *odd* in so many ways. Twin Star Exorcist has enough substance to carry me through but not really satisfying. On your say-so, I’ll give Noblesse another shot, I think. Grandson entirely TOO OP & relentlessly wholesome.

Speaking of which, Daily Life of the Immortal King was a great take on the OP MC theme…maybe just TOO streamlined.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Bud!

had a feeling you would like that one...
Yeah, I loved that one. For the new season so far I've liked the Reincarnated as a Sword, Housing Complex C, and Shinobi no Ittoki has some promise. Housing Complex C feels like a potentially good horror anime. I've been foaming at the mouth for more Bleach, I've been rewatching it bit by bit for a while now.

I tried watching Bleach, but couldn’t even get to the third episode…guess I should try again?
