Could use a light topic from all the bs, with it nearly being Christmas so why not look at the one medium not actively calling white people devils.
I'd say it was a good season personally, feel free to put down what you liked or want to recommend. Here's my picks:
Standouts/ must watch: Bleach TYBW, Chainsaw Man, Mob psycho 100 III and Spy x Family cour 2
Suprises: The Eminence in Shadow: I went in blind to this one and the tone shift from ep 1 after credits was massive. A very good show with the perfect mix of cringe and badass scenes.
Akiba Maid war: Yakusa gang wars but in maid cosplay, seriously
Personal likes:
Reincarnated as a sword: could easily be dismissed as isekai trash but has cute then brutal moments mixed in (Fran's hands all I'll say)
Mobile suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury: despite early attempts by leftists to call it yuri, no it's just a good introduction to Gundam for new viewers, excellent art and has the political intrigue you expect from Gundam.
Ituma-kun season 3: it's my lighthearted weekly watch.
Would like to highlight Isekai Ojisan is back after both Netflix and production hell which is also worth a watch.
I've had my eye on Eighty-Six: 86 for a while, I just need to be in the mood for something more serious.
If you like an anime with a more dire, apocalyptic tone, you might want to check out WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?. It's very bittersweet and sad, but I found it interesting.
I watched Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside earlier this year expecting a typical fantasy anime but found it surprisingly thoughtful and interesting with some serious moments.
I found Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs amusing and surprisingly interesting, although I couldn't tell you exactly why. I'm usually turned-off by excessive fan service but I was able to get past it in this case.
I have no love for these types of classic Kamen Rider anime but I actually enjoyed Fuuto Pi a lot because of the likeable characters and charming silliness of it all.
I'm continuing to enjoy Kagua-sama: Love is War Season 3, although I think they've strayed somewhat from the comedy roots of the first season.
PS. My tastes are not typical of most anime watchers so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.
PPS. Rumor is One-Punch Man Season 3 is being animated by MAPPA. If this is true, we might actually see quality nearing season 1 this time around!
PPPS. ONE's next manga Versus sounds crazy. Looking forward to seeing what he does with it. I'm a big fan of his work.
It's confirmed, MAPPA is going to take on One Punch man season 3
I pray they do a joint project like with Takt Op with someone like Madhouse as their poor animators have families!
Yeah, they’re taking on a lot. I hope they treat their employees well.
