we may be walking into one of the greatest years of anime brehs

MHA Vigilante is fire I've been waiting for that, enjoy the characters more than the nikkas that got into the school, first time I ever enjoyed a spin off more

Lazarus been hyped for years to be the chosen one gotta pray toonami doesn't ruin it somehow

Reze arc is gonna crush the buildings

Demon Slayer gonna fund the entire country of Japan for the next couple of years off that movie

Frieren/DanDaDan/Solo/Kaiju about to have fire season 2's (that's seemed to be the trend for everything except ToG)

If them nikkas on Windbreaker


Bleach and JJK are both about to run into their more controversial sections of the story the discourse will be hilarious

I don't want to be that guy, but most of the 2025 stuff in @Bryan Danielson post has no confirmation of coming out. Stuff like Dungeon Meshi, JJK and Bleach has 0 chance coming out this year.

Frieren has a small chance, especially since the manga just went on hiatus, but this guess is like shooting a dart blindfolded.

Tbh the run for anime from Fall 2023 → Fall 2024 is one of the best runs for anime we have seen for a while. Where we had high substance series like Frieren, Meshi, Apothecary, Monogatari, Orb and more. Like 10–15 shows, which is insane. That's not even accounting for the top shounens of the year.

I love the novels of Imouza. Glad it's anime is out of development hell and finally got a release date.

Tomodachi no Imouto ga Ore ni dake Uzai

If a girl teases you, that means she likes you! Unfortunately, Akiteru knows from experience that isn't the case. Because every girl he interacts with shows him nothing but scorn, and he's not scored a single date from it! Luckily, he's more concerned with securing a spot for him and his...

This season of SLF started off mid as fukk, but these last several episodes been dope as fukk and today's episode was got damn epic.
I know next week's episode prolly gon be even more fire.

So glad they switched the opening and ending. I hated the last opening. That red light green shyt was wack and used to get on my fukking nerves, but this new shyt is fire and goes back to their routine of having dope openings.

That got damn Wolf holding it down, but nikkas were still piecing it up.

SLF S2 Episode 13 adapted chapters 89, 90 and a good portion of 91 were adapted today.

Akane's debut and she is coming in clutch. One of the reasons I love this series is how these side games are used. You thought that rookie character in BERP was a one-off character? Na, instead, they become the 2nd player to unlock the Unique Scenario. It's funny with all the players trying to unlock it, Akane probably didn't think much of it. It's also fun of her looking up to Sunraku as a senpai. The eager kōhai gamer is one we haven't gotten so far.

I love how Emul's help is what gets Sunraku to find get aggro. Though the danger for Emul is much significant then for Sunraku. Let's see if Rei can pull it off.

Mappa making an anime where an overworked director dies and it becomes an iseaki Man. The animation quality is great, but I have no idea what its going for. I feel baited since I thought this was going to be something that goes into animating.

Watching episode 6 of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun.

Here we get the introduction Tsuchigomori whom is one of the teacher's at Nene's school. But he is School Mystery #5. Unlike the case with Yako where she was hostile, there really isn't an issue with Tsuchigomori. The issue lines that there appears to be a traitor among the school mysteries. It's a thing where the traitor would be against losing their Yorishiro.

The more interesting part of this episode ended up being learning about Tsuchigomori's history with Hanako. In fact, Hanako was a student named Amane Yugi. The alarming part is that Amane's future changed what was written in his book. This implying Tsuchigomori was the School Mystery of the Library since then. Though the fact that Amane was supposed to be a teacher alongside Tsuchigomori and that simply didn't happen. He wasn't supposed to become Hanako.

Now Nene learns a piece of Hanako, but what does she do with this. The other odd thing is that it seems Hanako has no memories of Amane. It seems the memories of Hanako and Amane are separated, but why is that the case?

S1 of the anime seems to be skipping the Young Exorcist Arc, I am curious if S2 can go back and adapt this naturally. It is only 2 chapters, so it's not a concern, but how they do it is the question.

Solo Leveling did not disappoint……

this gonna be a fun season with that show back

Up to Episode 9 of Ishura.

After her encounter with Soujirou, Nihilo ends up fighting Dakai. And unlike Soujirou, Dakai has means of damage to Helenten. I think this really shows how much of a monster Soujirou is because Dakai's tactics don't amount to much. Though Dakai is very tactical and how he aims to deal with Nihilo is very impressive. He can detect the nerves that connect Nihilo and Helenten seamlessly. Then, using one of Higuare's poison knives it screws up the nerves of Helenten and causes it to open. Which allows him to kill Nihilo in one swift attack. Really showcasing Dakai's strengths well.

Though in the grand scheme of things, if Soujirou never wanted to fight and create that opening on Nihilo then Dakai wouldn't be able to do anything against Nihilo. Which in itself shows the kind of monster she was.

Also, the Lana Kia interaction in the episode was great. Lana actually presents similarities presented with Yuno. See sees Higuare defeated and from her view point Kia. Though what separates Kia is that her power doesn't consume her. But what she is capable of is absolutely insane the more we see. Forcing the Cold Star to stop and just phase out. Clearing out the fire in the city.

On one viewpoint you just think this kid is way too OP. But then we see how gentle and kind Kia is. Her weakness is that kindness as we know, Elea is using Kia. Granted, Elea has trust issues from her past. Lana responding to Kia will be fascinating.
