The
winter season is upon us. It will be difficult to match the quality of the autumn season, but hopefully there's some good stuff to watch.

Dungeon Meshi and MahoAko are obligatory, and I'm sure the stream is gonna pick up UY again, so looking forward to those.
Meiji Gekken falls into the same cool time period as Kenshin, but the trailer wasn't terribly convincing. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Sengoku Youko doesn't sound too interesting to me but the preview's animation is awesome and it's gonna be THREE COURS LONG WHAT

A complete adaptation of the whole thing, apparently. Helck and Dead Mount lowered my expectations for longer running stuff but that's still very impressive.
No.117741
I'm guessing this is sorted by popularity in which people clearly have NO taste if Jashin and Mahou Shoujo sekuhara are that low! But aside from that I'm surprised I heard nothing about Tsukimichi s2, that was one of the more enjoyable isekai. Solo Levelling being at the top makes sense that the masses are gushing to slurp up the latest in popular slop.
No.117743
>>117741Yeah, default listing and now that I look it is indeed "popularity". I don't think anyone is surprised an isekai/MMO thing is the number one in popularity, right?
I used English titles because I wanted everyone to appreciate the trashy names like "Solo Leveling" and "My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!", but if people want Japanese ones I could do it next time.

>>117751I hope they had enough time to animate things and/or have more of a budget. In the first season the passion was definitely there and there's still greatly animated moments, but they really had to cut corners quite a few times. I assume that the characters having identifiable faces (including noses!) probably contributes to the time it takes to animate stuff. Best OP of its season (which I even uploaded at the time >>103164), too and I hope the second one can be half as good.
I might rewatch it, although I imagine there will be a recap of sorts.
People better not vote S2 out of the stream!
No.118056
I guess it's about time I start looking at the shows, huh. Presumably the relatively isolated earthquake isn't going to have any effect on anything here.
The
Urusei Yatsura continuation is one of the safest bets ever. I only hope David Studio is able to handle Undead Unluck and this at same time. One studio is pretty much going to make the winter season for me.

Seems like a very delayed start to the season, or maybe it's normal and I don't remember. I really don't have anything else to say since I WOULD be checking out shows to test for the seasonal stream, but there's so little out.
Most stuff will be out by this time next week at least, but definitely not all.
Has anyone watched the show about the bird and the middle-aged isekai'd guy yet? He actually doesn't get reborn so it could be good.

I can see Solo Leveling being a guilty pleasure.
At surface level it's a "video games but in real life!" premise with gore and violence. But there's an actual nice story of the weakest becoming the strongest and breaking a caste system. Though, even if it is a caste system, the people around him aren't mean to him because he's' weak, so it doesn't feel like a teen-angst rebel against society thing, but rather an actual story about someone breaking God's rules to get personally ahead.
And the animation isn't half bad.
The violence and grittyness is being in a way that really builds tension, as apposed to being there for the sake of being there.
Overall, it's probably going to be one of the best shows this season
No.118331
But then again, it might just become an overpowered isekai that keep repeating the same gag for 12 episodes. I guess we'll have to see, but the first episode had good direction
No.118332
From the spoilers I read, it does get pretty bad/generic the longer the series goes, but for a 12 ep it might be fine
No.118333
>>118330When I read people talking about the most hyped up anime this season and all of the people saying it's going to be huge are also saying in the same breath "It doesn't need to have a good story because it has great action" that's a warning sign that it's not going to have a good story at all.

I already gave my opinion in a couple threads, but the Gal show's protag annoys me despite the main(?) girl being great. Seems like there will be a few girls, which is a mixed bag when I already like the introduced one. I just hate the guy so much. ARRGGH!

>>119695It's a terrible series with an MC who was initially just badly written as a generic herbivore without any actual goals (despite whatever he says). His "projects" are as meaningless as his meandering is boring.
Having an MC jump through hoops to open a store because apparently he wants to run a store and then leave that store in the hands of others was infuriating. He doesn't need the store. He has an entire country. He doesn't gain anything from it and he's not enjoying it. He's just doing it because apparently he thought an isekai MC should run one?
But that's the entire story. He needs nothing and doesn't really derive pleasure from anything. He just exists.
His treatment of his harem is the same. It's not even the usual "kyaa, hentai!!" shenanigans. He's just doing nothing for hundreds upon hundreds of chapters. It's a narou-key garbage MCness brought to its logical insane conclusion.
The story and the other characters could be great - if not for everything being held back by this non-entity.
No.119701
>>119695>S2Well, that's the problem with me getting into it. Looking at it on anilist, 25 episodes for a season 2 is quite nice when the original was 12.
It's just so hard for me to get into isekai stuff. Or rather, staying past the first 2-3 episodes. Speaking of, I'm dropping the level 99 one. I like her chibi kuudere-ish faces, but the rest of the show just isn't cutting it out for me. Somehow I'm able to tolerate otome shows longer than general isekai, but I end up dropping them all the same.
I guess the characters in this are just too bland and there really isn't anything special here.
No.119702
>>119701the yeah desu girl
No.119713
>>119697Yeah, but to me it's
fun despite embodying nothing more than what it is. Though maybe more of my enjoyment of this season is derived from the shift in focus away from the MC towards the others, and also the promise seeded near the end of the last season that there's more of a reason for the MC to be the way he is rather than just laziness. Though if you're talking about chapters and you've read the manga enough to know that it goes nowhere I'll be a bit disappointed...
No.119718

Solo levelling's kinda shit and fun. Though it got me wondering, if S-rank is the highest rank and Jibun Woo can't even stand against an A-rank how the heck did he manage to solo an S-rank boss that'd require at least a couple S-ranks to take down especially if the world's systems are a linear progression of ability where speed/durability/strength are all determined by one's rank...
