If so, what are you watching?
Personally I’ve been watching Oshi No Ko and Hell’s Paradise.
Oshi No Ko’s intrigue is what I really like about the show. I can’t wait to see how it unfolds. The commentary on the entertainment business I think is really cool to see addressed in popular media.
Hell’s Paradise is a bit more trashy but it’s fun to watch. Sometimes a power fantasy kind of show is just fun to watch from time to time.
I’ve been watching Oshi no Ko weekly too (though I wait til Saturday to watch). I used to like idol anime but this is such an interesting perspective on it and I really like the mystery element of it also.
The only other animes that I’ve seen with an idol theme that I liked were probably Perfect Blue and Vivy -Fluorite Eye’s Song-. I’d recommend both for obviously very different reason!
I have just started watching anime again after many years not. After catching up on several of the staples I got into the seasonal stuff, usually while I work.
The ones I like and am watching this season:
- Hell’s Paradise
- MASHLE
- Cheat skill in another world
- Vinland Saga
- Aristocrat’s otherworldly adventure
There have been a couple others, but I have stepped away from them.
I’m a bit behind since I think it’s already finished, but I’m really enjoying Skip and Loafer. I wasn’t a huge fan of the art style, but a good slice of life romcom will always pull me in.
Still got a couple episodes left before it’s over.
I’ve been watching Demon Slayer. While I don’t enjoy the pacing as much. It’s still pretty good. I read the manga entirely after season 2 came out. And while I liked it. I am hopeful the anime can rectify certain decisions.
My favorites of the season are Oshi no Ko and Vinland Saga season 2, but I’ve also been watching Heavenly Delusion with my girlfriend. Watched a bit of Hell’s Paradise and I’ll probably finish that at some point when the season’s over
Oshi No Ko is the big one. I’ve also been keeping up with the insanity that is KamiKatsu mostly because the discussion thread are fun. One seasonal anime I almost missed is The Dangers in My Heart; I’m not normally a romcom person, but it totally sucked me in and I wound up binging 10 episodes in a single sitting last week lmao
Insomniacs after school is a slice of life kind of romance anime featuring two kids in high school who have trouble sleeping and eventually join an astronomy club. I read the manga and was excited to see it get adapted and I think they’ve done a good job.
It’s a really calm and relaxing and wholesome show with such a good vibe. It’s hard to put into words but it does capture the feeling of being out late at night wandering around, and being young and wandering around school, and the protagonists are both very cute and wholesome. The two have good chemistry and a nice realistic relationship.
Best of all it does so without leaning into the very common anime and manga tropes of fanservice.
Loving the new season of Demon Slayer, and MASHLE has been a fun watch so far as well. Especially excited for the next cour of Bleach though!
I’ve not watched Mashle, would you say the humor of it is similar to Eminence in Shadow? It kinda gave that vibe to me
Put One punch man into Harry Potter universe. Main character is much like one punch man. Live of a non magic person (but super strong) in a magic world.
