Jesus fuck, is AoT finally over with this? Or are they dragging it out one more time?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's the prequel to "The finalest season".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m not even 100% sure if this is a joke… that’s how dumb the naming has been.

It seems to be just a one hour long special, last episode for sure, we swear, no takebacks.

[–] VerdantLawn 18 points 11 months ago

I am so excited for Spy x Family. Didn’t know that season 2 will be out so soon. Thanks for posting this up!

This and Frieren are the two I am most anticipating. Eminence looks to be keeping a nice pace this season, adapting only 1.5 LN volumes over 12 episodes. Should set things up for a dramatic finale once again.

Thabks for making me aware of goblin slayer s2

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Where's Tengoku Daimakyo / Heavenly Delusion ffs

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

As far as I know, there is no season 2 yet confirmed. I absolutely loved the series and would hate to see it never come back, but my understanding is that it didn't do nearly as well in Japan as it did the rest of the world. That usually isn't a great sign for a show's survival.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Really? I didn't know that. If they cancel the series after that then I'll stop watching shit altogether. Seems like every cool project gets cancelled these days.

frieren, spy x family, eminence in the shadow. the fall of 2023 is hype

P.S also Pig isekai

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Goblin Slayer and Soy x Family are the only ones that seem exciting to me. Maybe apothacary diaries.

[–] Delusional 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Nope Soy x Family. It's about a family that makes soy sauce.

Tearmoon Empire let’s go!!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I've been waiting for an anime of it for a long time, finally!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Waiting for SxF, Dr.Stone, Eminence in Shadow, ... comeback. Heard a lot of great things about Frieren and Apothecary Diaries, definitely watching those. New Boss anime sounds funny to me.

And Pluto is not included in this list (maybe because it is listed as ONA?). It is coming on Oct 26.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Hyped for Pluto

Faraway Paladin 2nd Season? I'm hyped. Not much else that I'm overly looking forward to in terms of sequels, though (I've sworn off AoT for now until it's genuinely over).

Which new shows do you folks foresee making the top ranks this season? Most of these titles are totally new to me, though I've heard that the 100 Girlfriends manga is kind of notorious. Maybe that'll be this season's so-bad-it's-good show?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

100GF is an actually great manga. Fully self aware of how absurd it is and plays it up really well to hilarious effect. What I am not sure about is how well it can be adapted to anime. I frankly think the humor won't come across as well, but am definitely going to be checking it out.

Frieren has all the markings of a great show based on the staff and the source material is truly excellent, so that is one to watch.

The last one I am going to keep an eye on is Tearmoon Empire. I haven't read it, but the LN series is very beloved.

[–] Segaco 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is 100GF like Girlfriend, Girlfriend?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

They are similar in that they are very silly, comedy first romcoms. The main difference I think is that there is very little to no drama around the fact that the MC is dating multiple people. Everybody just accepts that fact and moves on. It becomes a running joke in the manga when the MC introduces a new girlfriend. 100GF mainly uses the cast of girlfriends to drive the comedy rather than actual relationship stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Aside from Frieren, which was already mentioned, the Apothecary Diaries has a shot at it if it's well done. As far as I know, both the light novels and the manga are fairly popular.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Calling it now - Frieren is going to be anime of the year.

The manga is fantastic. Really looking forward to it.

[–] vvvvv 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Frieren is going to be a cult classic alongside Mushishi, Kino no Tabi, Haibane Renme, YKK and a few other similar melancholic works. I just don't see how they are planning to get mass audience.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Kino no tabi! Also one of my favorites.

I agree though. It isn't going to be on the level of popularity as something like chainsaw man. It's more of a quiet, contemplative story with a few exciting action scenes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

My Daughter Left The Nest and Came Back an S Rank Adventurer should be wholesome. I follow the manga and can't wait for it to be animated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

We got Hypnosis Mic! If you haven't watched it think Jojos but they rap to activate their stands.

[–] sato_ 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Us arknights players are finally getting to see the best and saddest story arc of the game animated. It's gonna be great.

[–] Segaco 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is arknights a pay to win game? I've always been interested but it seems like that kind of game that makes you throw a lot of money at it xd

[–] sato_ 1 points 11 months ago

Not really. Arknights is suprisingly good for free to play player though it can be a bit slow to get the ball rolling for newer players. I admittedly spent a money when I started out but have been f2p for a majority of my time with it and have no issues getting the premium currency for free from weeklies/dailies rather than buying it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So many great new shows and sequels airing this fall. Personally, I'm excited for:

  • Frieren
  • Overtake!, mostly because I'm a motorsports fan
  • The Apothecary Diaries
  • The sequels: Spy x Family, The Ancient Magus' Bride, Goblin Slayer, and Girlfriend, Girlfriend

And, with considerably less excitement, I guess I'm going to watch Attack on Titan as well, hoping it's the actual final season.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's the actual final season, section 1 of part 1.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, meant to say the last part of the final season.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, part 1 of the last part of the final season

Still with Captain Tsubasa? I was watching that in the early 80s, lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Didn't know million live anime was happening this fall. I'm not expecting much but I'm hyped for the music.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Surprised to see FLCL Shoegaze dropping this soon, I was expecting it to come at least next year

[–] Segaco 1 points 11 months ago

Can't wait for Uma Musume after that excellent second season

I'll miss Teio

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Will start MF Ghost and Goblin Slayer 2 and see if they hook me. Nothing other interesting for me I guess

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Planning to watch Frieren (German dub because why not) and MF Ghost (subbed)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

An I'm sitting here, thinking about rewatching SEL.

[–] fivetwofoureight 1 points 11 months ago

'My New Boss' looks like a fun watch.
I've been looking into watching more CBDCT since Doji Danshi.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Shield Hero, Goblin Slayer, Spy x Family

And I'll probably end up picking other stuff along the way
