My Dress Up Darling S2
Kaiji No. 8 S2

Maybe:
Silent Witch
Hitozuma no Kuchibiru wa Kan Chu-Hi no Aji ga Shite (slice of life about college girl drinking beer)


any titles I should keep an eye out for?

Don't forgot Dandadan Season 2!

Having followed him for over a decade, this is really cool. It was just announced that one of, if not THE, most famous anime Youtubers, Gigguk, is actually getting his own anime series made.




He'll be the supervising director, and the screenplay will be adapting his original story. No idea if it's a TV series, movie, or OVA yet. But the animation looks pretty good, some of the designs look nice, and the legendary Kevin Penkin doing the music means it will at least be excellent in that category.
 
Clevatess looks promising !

It did... then it got to a point in the first episode I just rolled my eyes and switched it off.


Sadly I dont see anyone talking about...



Its not top tier animation, but its no where near bottom, its nice to see full fantasy and not isekai returning to anime, but i would suggest people give it a shot.

I've been looking forward to this for almost a year now. I don't get how they're handling the release though. They're releasing this in parts from what I understand, and the first part had a limited release in the states already? How many parts is this going to be?
 
I was recommended Vinland Saga from a coworker after I shared my love of Berserk. He said I would like it, so I picked up the first volume. So far, so good. Thought I'd start with the manga before moving to the show.
 
This season is good so far

The standouts being Dandadan Season 2, Takopi's Original Sin, My Dress-Up Darling Season 2, Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus, Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 4, Call of The Night Season 2, Detective These Days Are Crazy!, and Watari-kun Is About To Collapse

I'm not sure what's airing this week but I'm looking forward to whatever is dropping this week in regards to new anime
 
First episode of Gachiakuta was fine.

4chan SJ generals have been gassing Takopi for YEARS but it's in the top 25 right now on MAL already. lol. I mean it's good but after the end of that 2nd episode it can either go harder or rebound. Haven't read the manga so idk. It was aight.
 
I watched the first episode of CITY, I enjoyed it. It's an abstract slapstick comedy.

This has to be the most stacked anime season I've seen, there is over a dozen good shows.
 
I'm going with a couple this season:

Dan da dan
Gachiakuta
Clevatess
Lord of the Mysteries
To be hero X
Kaijuu 8
Tougen Anki

Pacing issues aside for the first two episodes LoTM has knocked it out of the fucking park and is already on its way for "AoTY" despite technically not being an anime
 
Watched the first episode of city. It wasn't terrible but kind of disappointing. It definitely didn't grab my attention the way nichijou did.
 


I'm tempering my expectations, the manga is only a 7.4 on MAL.

I feel very few mangaka manage to make more than one solid full manga series.

Yoshihiro Togashi with Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter
Tatsuki Fujimoto with Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man
Naoki Urasawa with 20th Century Boys, Monster, Pluto, etc.
Rumiko Takahashi with Ranma, Inuyasha, Urusei Yatsura, etc.
Takehiko Inoue with Slam Dunk and Vagabond

And sure, one could name some others. But it feels far more common for mangaka to make one series that really hit, and the rest of their attempted series are usually seen as "good" at best.

I'm interested in this because I'm a huge Studio Bones fan and Sword of the Stranger is one of the best anime films ever made. Arakawa is a bonus, but I'm not familiar at all with this manga. I'll buy the first volume on iBooks and report back. I agree with you though, a lot of my favourite works are one hit wonders from mangaka that always seem to fail to reach those heights with subsequent works.
 
I've barely watched any anime these past few months, but I think I'll start watching Kowloon Generic Romance this week, since I love both the setting and the retro art style they're using for the animation.

There's too much anime and despite using MAL I always lose track of some, even the ones I genuinely loved lol.

Anyway watching Fire Force "chapter 3" now and it seems to get better with every season! It's very by the numbers but the animation is super solid and even the story goes into some interesting places. Will wait until there's more episodes of Dandadan out until I continue with that new season. Am also going to check out To Be Hero X and Takopi's Original Sin.

The most recent anime I watched a few weeks ago was The Dinner Table Detective. It was a great show, only 1 season with 10 episodes, murder mystery stuff, I was just annoyed at the "anime yelling" shit that's meant to be funny but isn't, I wish they wouldn't do that, it was only good in Sailor Moon cuz it wasn't done very annoyingly often and it fit a crybaby teenager (plus the voice actors were better). I felt in this show that really ruined some parts as it would have been an even better show fully serious. Overall, though, I liked it.
