The anime I am planning on watching weekly this season are
Kimetsu No Yaiba- The new season just started and it looks like the arc it covers : the Swordsmith Village arc will be interesting.
Dr. Stone New World- I really enjoyed the earlier seasons of Dr. Stone so the new season still seems promising to me.
Tonikaku Kawaii Second season: The first season was a really sweet and wholesome romance anime so I am really glad to see it got a second season.
Yamada kun to level 999 no Koi wa suru: A lighthearted comedy romance anime about a pro gamer guy and a normie girl. Seems like a funny relaxed show.
The real surprise hit show this season for me is Oshi no ko.
Oshi no ko is written by the same mangaka behind Kaguya sama Love is War so I gave it a try on a whim and I was just blown away by it.
The show is nothing like Kaguya sama so don't expect anything similar.
It is best to go into it without any spoilers so i will refrain from saying anything else.
Only the first episode is out but the episode is the length of a film with a runtime of about 90 mins.
If the rest of the show is anything close to the quality of the first episode then it will be absolutely worth a watch.
Jigokuraku looks really cool.
I will probably wait until the season finishes to check it out since I just don't have the time to watch every single show I am interested in on a weekly basis.
Bleach season 2 in July
I am also really hyped for the next season of Bleach TYBW.
The first season of TYBW was excellent.
The ending might cause issues. Not quite 'Attack on Titan' issues, but I always felt the manga just ended after so much action and build up for a final confrontation with Yawacht that the hype fails to meet.
After the garbage Naruto sequel (Bolt/Boruto) was quite surprised that Bleach still remains entertaining.

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Bakuen wo! - Spin off from the main show.
Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. 2 - Second season.
Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku: Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito - First season.
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Punch! - Second season.
I usually wait for each show to finish before watching it (those that are 12-24 eps), so the Winter season is more fresh in my mind.
The Megumin Konosuba spinoff looks interesting. I will check it out.
I kinda liked the first season of Kuma Kuma as a guilty pleasure so I will probably watch the second season once it finishes airing.
I sadly don't have the time to watch too many shows weekly these days.
Skip to Loafer: Comfy romcom about a backwoods awkward girl moving to Tokyo to attend high school. Manga is comfy, the animation carries over the soft pastel vibe. No complaints about the adaptation so far. One point of note is that MC girl's uncle that she lives with is a tranny
Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu: School romcom about edgy boy and model girl. Manga's decent. Animation is decent. No complaints
Mahoutsukai no Yome S2: 2nd season of Ancient Magus' Bride. Covering the college arc, should be hype, episode 1 quality is the same as S1, if you liked that you'll like this one
Kimi no Houkago Insomnia: Another SoL/RomCom that I've read the manga for. 2 high schoolers suffering from insomnia reestablish their school's astronomy club. Really enjoyed the first episode might end up being my AotS or at least the best SoL I'm watching.
Mashle: In a world where everybody can use magic, Mash is unable to and makes up for it with pure muscle. Manga feels like the author saw the OPM Saitama "Okay" panel and decided to make an entire manga based off that joke. It gets old eventually but probably will hold up for 12 episode. The fight in ep1 was decent so we'll see
Oshi no Ko: Manga is absolutely fantastic, if the animation holds up its Anime of the Season. Haven't watched ep1 yet, as it's 90 minutes and haven't had the time.
Jigokuraku: watched the first episode, it's about an immortal ninja going to find the fountain of youth or something similar to obtain a pardon and protection for his wife. Seems interesting
Tengoku Daimakyou: Post-apocalyptic setting, there's some sort of school walled off from the outside world, so there's a viewpoint character there and 2 protagonists wandering the outside in search of "Heaven", which I'm assuming to be this walled compound. A bunch of unanswered questions, seems interesting enough to watch a few more episodes
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Bakuen wo!: EKKUSUPUROSHION
I am watching One Piece, Demon Slayer, and Patlabor.
Im rewatching One Punch Man.
Thinking about gate.
Demon Slayer
Vinland Saga
Legend of the Galactic Hero (finally)
I usually wait till near end of season just so it can be recommendations as some things can drop off mid way, leaving what you mentioned as I'm watching all but Tonikaku and Yamada:
Mobile suit Gundam witch from Mercury: it's back, no drop in quality and gets straight into the fallout from the 'pattycake' incident..
Kamikatsu: working for God in a godless world: this one is weird as I can't tell if they're trying to pull a Bochi the rock with animation choices as it sometimes goes from good to jank CGI, but it's unique, guy gets Isakai'd after a cult ritual and wakes up in a world that has no concept of divinity. After the first episode and the horrifying 'end of life' is witnessed, his cult's god shows to save him and to give her power in this world, he basically starts a religion.
Konosuba: an explosion on this world: it's konosuba i don't need to say anymore lol
Hell's Paradise: this is Mappa with MAPPA quality so it's worth a look but damn does it not mess around with the kills in this
Mashle: magic and muscles: in a world ruled by magic, this gigachad without it goes to the one punch gym, the main character reminds me of a satama/mob mix and it's heavy in that type if humour
The legendary hero is dead!: bit of a dark comedy as the hero dies in the most obvious trap our mc made for demons so is forced to become the hero by a necromancer
My Home Hero: WATCH THIS ANIME! It's a thriller where the dad kills his daughter's abusive yakusa boyfriend and with his wife they try to avoid the wrath of the Yakusa.
I got a cheat skill in another world: Isakai but through a doorway so cam return to this world and the items he gets can be converted to money, it deal really well with the trauma of bullying.
Summoned to another world for a second time: interesting premise, shows some promise but have to see if it plays out
Rokudo's bad girls: might be a guilty pleasure for me, bully victim gets a blessing from his late grandfather that means ALL bad girls fall for him, and the main girl in this is strong enough to body gangsters solo so don't hurt her man
That's it so far, hopefully they'll all be good so I'll be entertained for spring.
Demon Slayer over Jigokuraku is insane
I have season 1 of One Punch Man on my phone but it's subs, not dubs. Since I do most of my media consumption while driving cross country, I can't afford to read subs....
Haven't started anything because I am trash and have been very busy lately. I'm trying to finiah Tensei Oujo from last season before I touch this season.
Will definitely check out Konosuba and Oshi no Ko. Will hit up Yome, KnY, and Stone whenever I get around to getting caught up on their prequels.
