Hello once again my fellow anime enthusiasts. This is the thread in which you can pour out your heart and soul about any anime-related topic you feel like. Want to know what to watch next? Want to espouse the virtues of your favorite 80’s anime? Just want to check in with others about shows you are vibing with this season? This is the place!
As always, make sure to tag your spoilers! If you don’t, then Light will write your favorite character’s name in his notebook.
This past week, I didn’t really have too much time to keep up with seasonal stuff. I still haven’t watched the latest episodes of Kanojo mo Kanojo or Dekoboko Majo. Also, I haven’t yet had a chance to check out either Pluto or The Apothecary Diaries. I have time off around Thanksgiving (in the US), so hopefully can catch up on stuff then.
For non-seasonal stuff this past week. I did manage to finish the first season of Zombie Land Saga. Overall it was really enjoyable. I do think it started the season off stronger than it ended, but there was a nice plot reveal pertaining to Kotaro to end the season that makes me excited for the second season (when I get a chance).
Finally, I am still slowly working through Rurouni Kenshin 2023. Just got to Sano’s introduction and really feel like they are taking their time with the pacing. I am not really sold on whether it is a good thing or not, but the show feels unnecessarily slow sometimes. I am torn on whether this is a good thing or bad thing though. I suspect that it just feels slow right now since it is still early in the story and this beginning portion is just not very strong. But that the slow pacing will pay off later in the story when the action picks up. Time will tell!
@ram@lemmy.ca if you would be so kind as to do the pinning once again.
Sadly Murder farce, bleach and oshi no ko are finished and I haven’t found anything else to watch other than JJK and Spy x family. Any recommendations?
Well, if we are talking about currently airing shows, Frieren is likely to supplant Oshi no Ko for AOTY for me so far. It is a very different kind of show, melancholy, slow, thoughtful, but it is an excellent adaptation of an excellent manga. Also I have been enjoying Eminence in Shadow, but that one, being season 2 and a parody of the isekai genre, is very hit or miss with people if they connect with the humor or not. I have heard good things about Shangri-La Frontier, so that one might scratch an action itch for you.
If we are opening up to not currently airing shows, Samurai Champloo is one of my favorites when it comes to creative sword fight choreography. Lycoris Recoil is excellent at gun fight action. If you are looking for feel-good SOL like spy family, you could try Buddy Daddies (though I haven’t seen it) or Usagi Drop (the show is good, avoid the manga). Tengoku Daimakyo might scratch a mystery, adventure itch. It isn’t explicitly a mystery, but there are lots of mysterious things going on.
We can only hope that this form continues. Frieren is a pretty big commitment at 28 episodes with this quality. So I am really hoping that it doesn’t drop as it goes. If they can keep delivering shows that look this good, it’s hard to complain.

Will check out your suggestions! Thanks
Madhouse doing Overlord, lvl999, and Frieren in the last year or so is a pretty good run. Maybe this is the start of their comeback.
