Spring season 2023

Only a few weeks away! I still find it hard to believe we're nearly a quarter of the way through 2023 already...

What are you looking forward to?

 

For me, it's a relatively short list:

• Dr. Stone: New World-- Despite my complaints about this show, I came to enjoy Dr. Stone more and more as I read the manga. Looking forward to seeing the next arc animated.
• Ousama Ranking: Yuuki no Takarabako-- I don't know if this is just a one-episode special or a full season, but I'll take whatever I can get. Bojji and Kage will soon be back in our lives!  
• Gundam: Witch From Mercury Part 2-- Can't wait to see what happens after the crazy finale of the first part.
• ...and that might be it...

 

There is also a new KonoSuba series this Spring which could be amusing, so I'll at least give it a try for a few episodes and see how it goes. Seems like it is going to focus on Megumin (explosion! ). Might be fun.

 

I will try out some other random stuff that pops up on Crunchyroll, but nothing is really jumping out at me right now.

*takes deep breath* FUCKING FINALLY WE GET SEASON 2 OF THE FUCKING MAGUS BRIDE!!!!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING TOO FUCKING LONG FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
ALSO DEMON SLAYER VILLAGE ARC !!!! *coughsandcomposesself*

Also interested to see where Dr. Stone leads with this season. Moar primitive science crafts!
And Konosuba will be great for just plain insanity stuff. I'm looking forward to this. And finishing the 2nd half of Vinland Saga S2.

Ones that Im curious about
Jigokuraku. Looks like another good one from MAPPA

Tales of Outcasts looks like it would be an interesting fantasy story.

But other than those 2. Looks like Spring is super Isekai heavy and nothing else is catching my interests. (Other than maybe the Magical Girl Destroyer one but that sounds like another anime I've seen with actual magic and more action.) Who knows maybe this is my season to catch up on older stuff.
*Waits for @Anelle to react that we have another season of Ousuma Ranking. *

The new Ousama Ranking is just a special that is non-canon.  But it'll still be great to see.  I've now successfully gotten both of my partners hooked on it.

Speaking of Isekai...I'm still kind of surprised the Smartphone one got a 2nd season. 

 

Ready for Demon Slayer because unfotable never disappoints in animation quality. 

[Tassifox 394]

Isekai is what sells right now. To the point where some isekai make fun of it in small ways it's gotten such a hot genre. So kinda not surprised but that's saying that without having seen the series. Nothing against it, i've just gotten more choosey since the genre exploded.

[dr. b 458]

Yeah, isekai is on quite the run of sustained popularity! People must be watching them in big numbers if studios keep making more of them. 
 

Gimme another season of Grimgar please… 🙏 

[Tassifox 394]

Omg yus. Grimgar was especially a good one! I should rewatch that one.

I just realized we’re getting a second season of MIX this Spring!!!  I’m not sure how I missed seeing that. I love a good baseball anime
