I never got round to checking that one out. I don't think I will bother. I'm still enjoying everything that I signed up for this season. Hibike! Euphonium S3 and Kaiju No. 8 are tied for my top spot so far this season. RoOT and Konosuba S3 are fairly close behind them. Bartender and Train to the End of the World are not AOTS material but are both pleasant watches. Train to the End of the World is very kooky.

I really love the Konosuba S3 ending tune.

I was curious about Loser Ranger... buuuuut it's on Disney+ so that's a bit of an obstacle for me. I am basically Crunchyroll-or-bust, except for the occasional Netflix series. I'm also pretty bummed out that Jellyfish Can't Swim at Night is on HIDIVE and not Crunchy. Fortunately, everything else I was looking forward to is on Crunchy, and--so far so good--I am enjoying everything. RoOT has not been as good as the O.G. OddTaxi, but that's a pretty high bar to try to clear. I still think RoOT is enjoyable. It's an interesting and different spin on OddTaxi. Hibike! Euphonium is probably AOTS for me. Animation is as beautiful as before. I still love the characters. Some of the new first-year characters seem to be fun so far too. I'm so happy this show is back. Train to the End of the World is really quirky and weird. Probably kind of a like-it-or-hate-it kind of show. I am in the LIKE camp. It's only been one episode so far of both Kaiju No. 8 and KonoSuba. Liked what I've seen so far. Bartender is probably the weakest of the bunch for me this season, but I enjoy it for the chill atmosphere and all the booze talk

First episode back of KonoSuba was a barrel of laughs I missed these crazy characters. I enjoyed the first episode of Kaiju No. 8 a lot too. It was a bit more silly than I was expecting (not in a bad way). Definitely looks like a keeper. Then I’ll pick up the manga from wherever the anime ends.

Watched the second episode last night and I’m still enjoying the vibes of this one. Definitely a keeper for me this season.

Hibike! Euphonium is back in my life and I could not be happier Fantastic first episode back. I was smiling ear to ear throughout

The ending of Metallic Rouge was pretty good. Maybe a couple loose ends. But I was happy with it overall. Bones did some great work with this show! The aesthetics and style were fantastic. I will miss seeing and hearing the OP every week It’s a throw-back kind of tune. Definitely heavy inspiration from 80s and 90s music. Naomi = best girl I also checked out the first episode of Bartender: Kami no Glass. It was fun and chill. It is not AOTS material but I think I will enjoy it anyways.

First episode of RoOT is out! I rather enjoyed it. OddTaxi was awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing the story retold in live action

I checked out the first episode of Train to the End of the World (Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku?) last night. It is a weird anime original. The start is pretty trippy. I was not expecting this much weirdness just from reading the synopsis Weirdness in a good way IMO. I thought it was pretty interesting. Good enough to give it a couple more episodes, anyways.

Here’s one more I’ll have to add to my watch list. Not sure how I missed it the first time scrolling through the Crunchyroll lineup page! RoOT/Route of OddTaxi. It's live action interpretation of OddTaxi. I liked the trailer. Should be fun.

Frieren #28 — No spoilers, but I’m general this episode felt like a very fitting ending to what I thought was a fantastic series. I loved the story and pretty much the whole cast. Madhouse did incredible work with the animation. I’m sad it’s over.

So far this is what I have on my watch list for spring: KonoSuba: It’s been long enough since the last season that I’m looking forward to seeing these characters in action again. Should be lots of laughs. Kaiju No. 8: I keep saying I’m going to pick up the manga… then I never do it So I will start with the anime and then continue with the manga wherever the anime leaves off. Hibike! Euphonium Season 3: I am SO HYPED for this one! Absolutely loved the first two seasons Bartender: Kami no Glass: Sounds like something I will enjoy. Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai (Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night): Anime original by Doga Kobo. They’ve done some other originals that I enjoyed quite a bit. Sounds like something I might like based on the vague synopsis. Here’s hoping. I’ll see if anything else be piques my interest on Crunchyroll. TBD.

Done! Let the Winter 2024 season discussion continue — but let’s also look ahead to Spring. Here are some of the usual links: MAL Spring 2024 AniChart Spring 2024 Crunchyroll Spring 2024 lineup What are we all looking forward to this spring?

Starting to look ahead to the Spring season. There is some good stuff coming up! Rather than make a new thread for each season, I was thinking of renaming this one to “2024 Seasonal Anime” and just have one thread for the year. Any objections from you three?

Only one episode left of Frieren. I’m gonna be so bummed out when it ends next weekend

I’ve been enjoying Metallic Rouge a lot too. Lots of twists and turns to this story. I’ve found it hard to follow at times watching weekly. It will be a great binge-watch show once all 13 episodes are done. The mimic gag never gets old in Frieren

Yeah the first “half” of the series was a bit longer than usual. IIRC four episodes dropped all at once at the start of the Fall season. Not that I am complaining—I want more!

Wow these seasonal threads are getting quiet Anybody else watching A Sign of Affection? It’s very heart-warming and charming

You’re gonna enjoy the rest of Frieren! It’s been great. A Sign of Affection keeps impressing me. It’s such a charming and heart-warming show. Feels so good to watch it every week I am gonna be bummed out when it’s over.

Frieren #23 Frieren falling for Mimics is never not funny You see the joke coming a mile away and it’s still funny. I am really enjoying the First Class Mage Exam. The dungeon they’re all crawling through right now is great.

I randomly started watching the first season of Mashle this week out of boredom and I quickly finished the first 12 episodes. A bit surprised how much I’m enjoying it! I’m looking forward to getting caught up in the second season. I am still enjoying Metallic Rouge and especially Frieren. also A Sign of Affection is lovely

Ye, I saw episode 19 dropped on Crunchy on Friday, so I’ve only got a couple episodes to go to get fully caught up. I watched #17 on Friday night. I wanted to keep going but I was getting sleepy. I don’t want to nod off and miss part of this show. I’ll watch more tonight if I have time. It was unfortunate to see Sein go off in a different direction in episode 17, but it feels like they will link up with him again before too long.

I’m now up to episode 16 of Frieren—just two episodes away from being caught up. Sein has been a nice addition to the squad. Still loving this show.

Very quickly got up to episode #10 in Frieren. Still enjoying it a lot! It’s a thing of beauty.
