When was the last time we had a season this good for Anime?
Is the future of anime looking promising?

I just picked the shows I know, there's too much stuff coming out right now and haven't been able to start all the anime I'm interested in. Right now the only anime I've been able to start from best to least good are
>Hikaru Ga Shinda
>Puniru
>Dandadan
>Nyaight of the Living Cat
>YAIBA
>CITY
>Witch Watch
>Gachiakuta
But so far everything I've seen has been good

Don't reply to him it's just the usual Trigger schizo, I don't get how a person can hate a studio this much when they're inoffensive at worst. I would have at least understood if this schizo came due to Cyberpunk since it basically helped fund a scam game but this schizo has been around for much longer yet I don't think I've ever seen him bring up Kiznaiver which is the sorts thing they've ever made.

This is becoming a serious issue. Before you could watch an hour or two of anime per day and cover everything airing. Drop a bunch of them and there's plenty of room for older shows. But now you need three hours to even watch three episodes of each.

>Is the future of anime looking promising?
Kind of?
Many new young directors have proven to actually be promising and talented. There are now more platforms where gore/ecchi/borderline hentai anime can be successful and exist again. Japan which was suffering a lot thanks to the credit card business has now been adopting new alternate methods of payment which is helping. A lot of mangaka and creatives have fought against the overseas market to prevent them from being able to buy Japanese companies. Almost everything that tries to cater too heavily to overseas has failed miserably so some producers have gotten the memo.
But at the same time, the far right party of Japan which is from my understanding leading in votes wants to push for globalization and censorship. Shueisha which is pretty much the biggest manga publisher in the world has been deteriorating thanks to them not properly training the new generation of editors and all the competent ones getting promoted. A common anime producer known as Remow has been pushing hard for censorship in order to upload anime episodes on youtube. There's still a lot of networks that are very adamant on censorship of certain timeslots. Disney+ is a shit platform, however they pick exclusivity rights for a bunch of really good anime and studios end up giving in due to them allowing gore, this means that these anime don't have to suffer censorship and are able to have a good budget but end up failing miserably financially since no one actually uses the platform in Japan.

>Ginpachi Sensei
>Hime Kishi wa Barbaroi no Yome
>Digimon
>Gnosia
>Kingdom
>Gachiakuta
>Sanda
>More Golden Kamuy
>Kamen Rider
Doesn't really seem as packed as this season but theoretically we should get Undead Unluck, Dorohedoro and Fate/strange Fake . I guess Witch Hat Atelier too but I have lost all my excitement for it.

I was only able to catch up with 'some' of the sequels and continuations I was interested in, and then suddenly that UGDBS (ugly girls doing boring sports) anime I passed up became a time travel portal fantasy? Fuck me. Nothing is in any danger of failing the three-episode rule either. Why did they have to pack all the watchable shows into this season and not give this Winter or the coming Fall any love?

The norm is usually for winter to be the shittiest season while spring is so-so and summer/fall have a fuckton of shows. But for a short while they were packing a lot of heavy hitter shows on winter because covid ended up delaying a ton of shit.

you'd think that if they planned stuff out so granularly they would have picked a different season for Call of the Night than Summer, or at least have picked a more yofukashi timeslot for it than 11:30 when it has only gotten dark a couple of hours ago

It’s definitely quite varied and multiple anime have some great and ambitious animation. Plenty of immediately forgettable stuff too but they is just so much now at once that that’s pretty expected every Season now. There’s a lot I’m not watching but I’ve seen the strengths of in clips.

Regular purging of your backlog is a good practice to keep. Don't let the seasonal burnout and binging habits of oldgoodnewbads affect you: if you can't remember why you wanted to watch something then it's probably not worth your time, especially if you specifically chose not to watch it while it's airing.

Turkey! is shit, it's boring for 95% of the episode except for the nonsensical part of each episode. For the first, it was the ending of the episode. For the second, it was them agreeing to use bowling balls to knock out random soldiers.

The drama in its first episode is pretty solid especially for being dropped into this group midway through. If they can carry through and build on it like they slightly did in the last episode the anime could be real good overall.

The drama is the worst part of it. It's ridiculous in practice and it's cheapened even more that Rina still brings it up when they go through the time slip. Anyone would put their survival before bitching about useless shit; it would be halfway believable if it came up again after they were saved or had a grasp of their situation.

As far as potential three episode rule fails, Kamitsubaki has so completely filtered casual viewers with its worldbuilding and hasn't given hardcore viewers a reason why they should care, unless they happen to be fans of that particular vtuber circle, and Mynoghra is carried entirely by its main heroine and we're still waiting for literally anything to happen

I'n very behind this season. There are some series of which I haven't even watched the first episodes of. (Mikadono, Silent Witch, Turkey, Necronomico, Hikaru died) and I have to still watch the lest episodes of Gundam Gquuuux and Apocalypse Hotel and the two last episodes of Apothecary Diaries. It's weird with Apocethary Diaries. This was the anime I enjoyed the most last season.

The ost is the same as the first season, it’s just that the S1 OP and ED were top tier.

I eat too fast for that. When I do have time, I watch Beyblade X and Precure.

I legit think this is the best anime season of the decade so far, I would even have a hard time coming up with a top 10 for it, just to name one thing, Clevatess is so much better than Frieren is not even close.

>But at the same time, the far right party of Japan which is from my understanding leading in votes
They aren't even as popular as the Constitutional Democrats. Jimintou will win as they always do

The OP directly talks to my soul and the ED, I simply can't stop singing the ED.

Holy shit this board is retarded. Rina's a time looper and has watched this all go down before, the OP shows that she's lived through pink haired chick fucking things up so badly that it got one of her friends executed. Her complaints aren't about the actual game or events happening right in front of them, she knows that their 'leader's mindset is going to get them killed later if she keeps reacting and taking things easy instead of acting.

So what you mean to say is she's a retard

She likely has some investment in the actual events that happen in the past. There's a non-zero possibility that unlike the others who have seeming ancestors in the past, she IS said ancestor sent to the future in the first place, and sees the past as her real home while the future isn't as real to her. Her exact motivation isn't clear yet.

I tried but the anime version was pretty lackluster and already took out some of the teeth of the story early on so I dropped it.
