This season looks like a struggle, I'ma need breh tripleaamin to get here and tell me if there's any hidden gem in the coming weeks :damn:
Probably wait until I try all the shows I'm watching first. Before posting about it. I will stop posting on the dead site but decide to make a website/blog for all the stuff I watch, read, and play. Here is the calendar for the current season, though.
Though so far Sanda & Dusk Beyond the End of the World has been the most impressive. The former is being animated by Science Saru and the latter by PA Works. Both are good studios. Also, Sanda is written by the Beastars author, who is the daughter of the creator of Baki.
The other two I am keeping my eye on are Shuumatsu Touring, as I read the manga and it has a lot of charm, but obviously it is not story-driven as it is touring Japan in a post-apocalyptic setting. It is very slice-of-life in feel, but it has some interesting elements mixed in. Tbh I wasn't going to watch it initially, but given that Aniplex is on the production committee and the studio is Nexus, (They did the Emmience in Shadow)with the director being a part of Re Zero S1, 86 Part 2, Mushoku S1 Part 2, Emmience in Shadow, and some more, I got more interested in trying out the anime.
The last one that has me curious is Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle. I read the first light novel volume while on the 2nd right now, and this one plays as more of a coming-of-age story than a RomCom. There is a bit of satire in there, as the Mc is not your typical light novel protagonist. As he is the more confident type in his group of friends, even a bit cocky at times. Though obviously this still fits more into the RomCom crowd in terms of appeal.
I was really looking forward to Wandance, but that shit looks underwhelming af based on the previews.. Having read the manga and that was great.
Also, here is the calendar for this season.
