Fall Season '23

[Tassifox 402]

As we near the end of Summer. Time for the Fall Lineup! Looks like it'll be mostly returning stuff for me on this lineup but we'll see if anything new catches my eye. https://anichart.net/Fall-2023

Shield Hero S3- Here's to hoping we pick up some slack in this.
Goblin Slayer- Looking forward to more fantasy gore.
SPYXFAM S2!!!!!!!!! FINALLY
Part 2 of Dr. Stone: New World
Saihate no Paladin S2- I know this was a nice easy paced series so I'm looking forward to this
MAHOUTSUKE YOME S2 PT 2!!!!!!!- Gods yes plz moar
FLCL:GRUNGE AND SHOEGAZE?! YAAAAAAS MORE LOVE SICK HARUKO PLEASE!

New stuff/Maybes:
Undead Unlock: Not sure how I feel about it. I'll give it a couple eps but might not vibe with me
Apothecary Diaries: Sucker for period pieces and looks like it has some murder mystery involved a little.
Mig to Dali: Weird mystery. Sounds...interesting enough to try it out.

 

Like seriously other than what is returning and leftovers from Summer (not going over movies and OVA) There is not a lot in new content that's catching my fancy.

I haven't looked too closely at the fall season yet. I'm going to try to watch less this season. I will for sure continue with Spy x Family and Dr. Stone. I will also give Undead Unluck a look, and if I like the first couple episodes then I will binge read the manga (and stick with the anime too of course ). I don't know if I want more Shield Hero. Maaaaaybe if it's confirmed to be only one cours. I'm not signing up for more than 12 or 13 episodes of that.

 

I will eventually watch the new FLCL when it hits the Crunchyroll app... setting the expectations very low because it might be bad. At least we will always have the original to re-watch

Excited for Spy x Family and Dr. Stone of course

 

Definitely recommend checking out Undead Unluck.  I'm curious how it turns out in the anime.  It grabbed me early in the manga, then kind of lost me and thought they might have been getting cancelled, and then it swerved into being one of my low-key favorites to follow each week.

That's how i kinda feel about U/U. The concept of the story -sounds- like it might be good. But watching the trailers gives me meh feelings. Like yea you have initial wth factor but i feel like it'd be short lived.

I just rewatched FLCL: Alternative and Progressive. A lot of it will always confuse tf outta me from the symbolism but the jist i've always gotten is Haruko always used the feelings of blooming adolescence to more or less track down her unrequited love from the first FLCL. Progressive probs could have not been made honestly and i'm not looking forward to there being 3D for Grunge (which takes place after Alternative) but maybe it won't be shit quality.

Yeah, Alternative and Progressive were a mixed bag. I could find parts to like about both, but neither stands up to the original which is very special to me. On the other hand, they could make almost anything--dumb story, shitty animation, whatever--but put those classic songs by The Pillows in the soundtrack and I'll watch it and talk myself into liking something about it. The nostalgia overpowers me. I listen to the OG FLCL soundtrack a ton. Fucking love those tunes.
