Koby Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24  Summer Anime 2024 AniChart | MAL Chart | AniDB Chart   Almost every season I make this thread and narrow down my own watch list after reading up about every show, seeing what studio is behind them, what staff is working on them, watching a preview, and reading others thoughts on the matter.

I watched the original & R2. Loved them at the time. Then there were the recap movies and/or the movie they originally teased as sort of a Season 3, but it turned out to be a weird retcon-recap as well. After that disappointment, I hopped off the Geass train. I wish we could get more Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, I really dug that show & I'm still sad we got movies instead of a formal Season 2. Back on topic...I'm not watching anything from this Season. I still watch anime every week, but I've been pre-occupied with 80s - 2000's stuff for months now. I watch with a group on Friday nights. We're nearing the end of InuYasha (We tossed in Fire Tripper for good measure one week), just started Yu Yu Hakusho, and watched Kite, Kite Liberator, and Mezzo Forte very recently. The really new stuff (2020 onwards) feels pretty same-y to me. Maybe I've just seen too much anime? The most recent thing I watched that I got any enjoyment out of was Akiba Maid War. Scratch that, I just saw Spice & Wolf on Koby's list. I'll watch that. The manga & Light Novels got me into Silver investing...need to pay my respects.

Any true sequel would inherently undermine R2 ending in my opinion. The "recaps" and their "sequels" aren't canon and are their own thing, not the biggest fan of their existence regardless. Just trying this to see if the spinoff will expand any of the series' extensive world-building. I swear it's not just them getting me to watch it by putting CG in the title  I haven't been that impressed with anything that's come out in the last few years either with a couple exceptions. Still like to pick up at-least one new series per season to see if there are any new ideas floating around. This season my highest hopes are for Atri, which is an adaptation of a well received VN I haven't got around to playing yet, otherwise going in blind. Spice and Wolf is actually from previous season so 13 episodes are already out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Things were tied up so nicely in R2 that I never wanted to see any more. I think they realized that there was a lot more money to milk out of such a beloved series & are forcing it. Did they actually say that the recaps & sequels aren't canon? Or is that your opinion?

Â The opposite actually..., they've stated that the movie, Resurrection, is the "new" canon, not R2's ending, and thus this new series continues from the changes made to the plot in that movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think they said they were separate timelines or something along those lines, so the original didn't just get retconed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koby Posted August 19 Author Report Share Posted August 19 Been more interested in gaming lately than anime so I've mostly been prioritizing dubs when I do watch anime thus I haven't started the shows that didn't get dubs this season which amount to: Atri -My Dear Moments- Failure Frame Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Sengoku Youko: Senma Konton-hen Tasuketsu The Ossan Newbie Adventurer Also dropped Elusive Samurai after one episode... it just wasn't for me with the wacky comedy during what felt like should be serious moments. Â Tower of God S2 changed animation studios and it went from a very distinct style to a very generic and bland anime style and I just don't like it. But the anime itself is still good. Â Surprisingly The Unwanted Undead Adventurer from a few seasons ago got a surprise dub announcement for this season so I'm watching that weekly and it's actually pretty good so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be better if you've played Nier Automata though. Atri and Wistoria are not as good as I would've hoped for. Wistoria is from the creator of DanMachi so I was hoping for something a bit like that but it's just very generic. Alya is pretty good and it helps that a buddy of mine actually speaks Russian so he very much enjoys talking about it, especially how the Russian is handled and specifically he thinks the English dub does much better there than the Japanese dub does.
