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.

Meta update: The discussion threads for Dan Da Dan are going to be run over in !dandadan@ani.social by @GordonFreeman@ani.social. So, rikka will not be making threads in this community. Instead, rikka will be making posts directing people over to the corresponding thread in that community.

    Looking ahead to next season, it’s a bit light for me. I’ve been watching a lot (for me), so might chill a bit and maybe catch up on other stuff. Or maybe I’ll follow the charts and try out whatever bubbles up. I dunno! But I’ll definitely be watching:

    • Re:Zero S3 - I’ve liked the previous seasons quite a lot.
    • Ranma 1/2 - I grew up on OG Ranma 1/2 and have watched most of it. I loved it. I’m really hoping this is good, especially since some of the content is going to be pretty dated. But I at least feel confident it will be as well produced as possible since it’s being made by MAPPA. I’m kinda sad so few others are mentioning this. Maybe I’m too old haha…

    Current releases, following weekly (roughly organized by decreasing interest):

    • Oshi No Ko S2 - Decent start to a new arc. Several good moments.
    • Makeine - This mini arc didn’t hit as hard for me as some of the others, but still enjoyed it.
    • Pseudo Harem - Great episode again. This couple is adorable.
    • I Parry Everything - Still good. I think there are more episodes, but it feels pretty wrapped up?
    • Dungeon People - Caught up this week. Sometimes a bit hit or miss, but still enjoying throughout.
    • Days With My Stepsister - Caught up this week. I have mixed feelings on it. It’s verrrrrry slow and deliberate. Sometimes this lands well, but a lot of the time I’m waiting for anything to happen. The characters are likeable and their feelings seem realistic. It’s decent, and I’ll at least finish this cour. I don’t know if there will be more.
    • Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings… - I’m gonna finish this season, but I probably won’t follow future seasons.

    Watched part of, but not up to date:

    • Wistoria - 5 episodes. Good animation, great action, and fun story. Probably finish.

      I have seen bits and pieces of the OG Ranma, so part of me wants to check out the remake. However, I am expecting to be pretty crunched for time next season, so I think I might end up waiting and then bingeing it all some time in the future.
