Fall Season 2024

[MFauli]

Only 2-3 episodes remaining for many Summer-anime, so a good time to look at the Fall season of 2024!

---------------------

Anime I'm interested in:

- ReZero Season 3 (fucking FINALLY)
- Blue Lock Season 2 (will hate watch)
- Uzumaki (very skeptical about the dumb artstyle chosen for this adaptation, but the manga was great, so ofc gonna watch this)
- Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online Season 2 (no idea, will probably be shit with great animation)
- Dragon Ball Daima (I still don't know if this is a continuation of Super or not)
- Hitoribocchi no Isekai Kouryaku (sounds weird)
- Ranma 1/2 (will watch to see how censored this version is)
- Tsuma, Shougakusei ni Naru (let's see whether we get a visit from the FBI for watching this!)
- Chi.: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite (that looks and sounds very good)
- Shin Tennis no Ouji-sama: U-17 WORLD CUP SEMIFINAL (will be low quality-crap, but at this point I'll watch any Prince of Tennis-anime)


A promising season for once.

[Ryllharu]

Will Watch:
Uzumaki - Dumb art style? Did you mean faithful?
Ranma 1/2 - Who cares if it is censored? I just want to see them finish it without filler. The pace of the manga is close to perfect and much better than the original anime run.
Raise wa Tanin ga Ii (Yakuza Fiance) - Violent crime romance? Hell yes.

Will Try:
Dan Da Dan - Never got into the manga before mangaplus locked out the middle chapters, but fans seem to like it.
Kabushikigaisha Magilumiere - Magical girls treated like a salary business is intriguing if well executed.
Mahou Tsukai ni Narenakatta Onnanoko no Hanashi. - Interesting premise as well. Know nothing at all about the series. Retro style.
Kimi wa Meido-sama - Former assassin maid isn't that unique of a premise (plenty of variants), but mostly in it for Ueda Reina's performance. She's always good at those kind of two-faced roles.

[DarthEnderX]

Yes:

Re: Zero
Dandadan
Bleach
Shangi-la Frontier
DanMachi

I'll watch Dragon Ball, even though it looks GT as fuck.

[Death BOO Z]

Will watch because I follow the manga:
- Dandadan - great urban fantasy, I hope it keeps the unique style.
- Raise wa Tanin ga li - I had a hard time following the story, so maybe this will make it easier
- Kabushiki Gaisha Magi Lumiere - it's a fantasy that people can find a good company to work for.

Might watch:
- 365 Days to the wedding - i read it, it has some good parts, but I'm not sure if it benefits from an anime
- Ao no Miburo - will try one episode, see if it's any good. I might bump it up just to have something new to watch, rather than stuff I already know.

Will eventually binge:
- Uzumaki

Why is this a thing?
- Ranma reboot - one of the first animes I've watched, but I have zero interest in re-visiting it again.
- Prince of Tennis - I watched nearly 100 episodes of the original anime, only to eventually realize that there's nothing there. I occasionally read a manga chapter if it pops up, and it's still devoid of story.

[MFauli]

The Prince of Tennis-MANGA is still ongoing?! 0_o

[Kraco]

I'm still a big Danmachi fan, so that goes without saying. There's a truckload of fantasy series, it seems, which suits me just fine. I'll pick a couple of them. Such as Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naruzo, just because villainess series are pretty funny.

- Hitoribocchi no Isekai Kouryaku (sounds weird)

If memory serves, I read the manga adaptation of this for a little while before dropping it. It disappointed me for reasons that were very evident from early on (which I suppose is a good thing, allowing me to avoid not get too invested in it). However, our tastes often differ, so possibly the things that annoy me won't affect you.

[Death BOO Z]

apparently it finished, but there's a continuation called "new prince of tennis", which is what the anime is going to be based on.

[KrayZ33]

I'm glad that so many games release soon.
Except for Re:Zero, which I'm sure I won't even enjoy, there is nothing in it for me.

[Buffalobiian]

Thunderbolt Fantasy is getting an S4? I'm ready.

I need to catch up on like... 4 seasons of Natsume's book of friends, but I do like that show.

Danmachi and Re:zero are sequels I'll be keeping up with.

As for the "My late wife reincarnated as an elementary school student" show... it sounds wrong but I'm curious to see how they can make it into an upstanding show.

[shinta|hikari]

Sequels I am looking forward to:
Re:Zero - Obvious choice.
Shangrila Frontier - Amazing first season with great visuals and action.
Danmachi - Always nice. Should have lots of waki with focus on Freya.
Tensei Kizoku - Surprised by its first season. The main character has no power but has a retinue of capable minions.
Kamonohashi Ron - Nice detective show.
Rurouni Kenshin Remake - ​Look at my username.

New shows I will definitely try:
Kima wa Meido-sama - I love assassin/warrior turned whatever stories, like Violet Evergarden.
Kekkon surutte - Hopefully mature. Reminds me of the live action series We Married as a Job.
Tsuma shogakusei ni naru - Nice.
Ranma 1/2 - Not sure if a remake counts as new, but I will watch this so my wife can see anime I grew up with but not have to tolerate the aged animation.

Hitoribocci Kyouryoku de Isekai episode 1:

Why is generic shit like this being made? "Because isekai are popular, duh". But seriously. So many better manga waiting for an adaptation and this shit gets it :/

[MFauli]

NegaPosi Episode 1:

Was looking forward to this, episode 1 was a mixed bad. I do like the fishing aspects and the premise of a deathly ill hero is also intriguing. But two things irked me wrong: First, and that was super offputting, was how the very first scene is an attempted suicide that'S played off as "funny". FUCK YOU JAPAN. :/ There's nothing funny about someone who's at the point of trying to kill himself. Spare me the "funny faces" bs. Almost dropped the anime right there. Serious question: Is this anime from the makers of Zombie 100? Same cognitive dissonance and lack of empathy, sigh.

Then the second annoying, albeit lesser thing was how the doctor worded himself when he told the hero he's gonna die. He said something like "you'll probably die from it". OK. So there's a probability he won't die. Which in anime context means HE WILL SURVIVE GUARANTEEDLY. That wording immediately ruined the entire premise for me, because now I know he's gonna survive this. Which wouldn't be a problem per se. I'd be okay with it if the hero later on gets a call from the doctor saying "we saw your recent results and it's actually looking better. Maybe there's a chance you'll recover". That'd be fine. But don't fucking give it away at the start of the first episode, sigh.

THAT ASIDE, and I'll spare you my rant about the dumb shark loans, once we got to fishing, THAT was nice. Both the fishing itself and the other characters. I hope that's what the anime will focus on.

[MFauli]

Decided to drop Blue Lock Season 2 about 10 seconds into episode 1. I just can't do it anymore. The overuse of "special eyes" is so cringe. First soccer anime in years I won't watch.

[Buffalobiian]

MF Ghost is back for a season two.

I'm just happy watching street cars go vroom. I'm happy that Kanata and FMC thus far have a healthier relationship than the pairing in Initial D.

[Ryllharu]

Ranma 1/2 - Comedic timing dead on flawless and shows immediately why the series is Takahashi's comedy-action masterpiece. Cast is nearly outside of their former range in some cases but it is a bit of a testament to their talent. The censorship is overblown, the nipples were always just fanservice anyway. Will Watch

Raise wa Tanin ga Ii - There's been a lot of fluffy and heartwarming yakuza media lately. Nice to get an actually dangerous and violent crime-romance. Will watch

Dan Da Dan - Really enjoying the comedic timing here too. The main duo are really good performance wise and have great chemistry. It's charming, it already knows how to hit the intriguing hooks and more tender flashbacks. All around winner. Will watch

Kabushikigaisha Magilumiere - My main complaint is lack of subs/rips. Amazon is horrifically bad at airing anime. Shitty sub format, bad translations, no intro-skip but also cuts the ED and post-ED scenes to skip to the next episode or auto play some other series. As for the series itself, the enemies are a little generic, but salaried Techo-Magical girls crossed with a business series was a successful hook for me. Scratches the same realism itch that Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka did without the pervy fucked up shit and PTSD. Will watch

Mahou Tsukai ni Narenakatta Onnanoko no Hanashi - Straight shoujo and felt very Precure. Lacked the universal appeal of both the older shoujo fantasy magical girl series and the more recent Little Witch Academia. Dropped.

Kimi wa Meido-sama - First episode was shockingly bad. Generic premise. Unengaging characters and designs. No hook to speak of. Mahoro was heaps better starting off. People imply it goes quite a bit harder at moments as the series progresses, but I can't see myself sticking around for a 12-episode series that probably won't get there. One more episode, but likely drop.

[Buffalobiian]

Did the first run of Ranma years ago fail to achieve anything that this series is supposed to accomplish (filler, didn't follow manga etc)?

[Ryllharu]

There was filler because the manga was still running. Over a third (but under a half) of the first run of the anime was filler.

Even with 143 episodes and 11 OVAs, I don't believe the original anime got fully through Volume 22 of 38. The OVAs touch a few of the additional arcs from later, but barely cover the content in the high 20s, skipping some one-off chapters and mini arcs that are also great. They only barely get to Ranma's mother appearing and don't resolve that plot thread and especially don't conclude Ranma and Akane's relationship, which is very pleasant.

[MFauli]

So is this a full-remake or a lazy remake? I've seen comparisons where scenes were taken 1:1 from the old anime, just with the new style. Is that it?

Also censored nipples? Sigh. I assume Happousei will be cut entirely then.

Full remake, hopefully it covers the rest of the series that the original never got to by cutting out the previous 50-60 episodes of filler. Some of the scenes look the same because...surprise...they're the same in the manga and were adapted the same way first. The animation is cleaned up and a bit smoother in some spots, a bit rougher in others. Just the switch to digital. Overall it looks better.

This is the most fucking overblown whiny complaint at this point.

It's always been blatant fanservice that served no narrative purpose. You wanna see Ranma's nipples? Read any one of tens of thousands of Ranma doujins.

They're not there because Japan's broadcast laws won't allow it for the network/timeslot it is in.

Go bitch about it on MAL.

Why must nipples 'serve a purpose'?! How silly is that?

If you show naked girls, show nipples or don't show naked girls to begin with. Although if they were naked in the original, I'd want them to be naked for that reason only.

I swear, you're one of those 'why do you want sexy content in video games, just watch porn' idiots. It's not about masturbation. It's about keeping the original intact and creating a more immersive world. I'm currently re-reading GANTZ, and I haven't fapped to any of its sex scenes, but damn, they make everything feel so much more real.
