Spy Family has been my favourite new anime that I've watched in a long time, the first cour has been near perfect, you're in for a treat.
This year has seen a lot of my favourite series from yesteryear unexpectedly getting a 2nd series. Netflix started showing the second series of Tiger & Bunny, 8 years after the most recent film and over a decade since the last series. It remains a great quasi-satirical series about what would really happen if people with superpowers were to suddenly emerge (the answer - they'd turn their adventures into a TV series, complete with corporate sponsors and merchandise). The 1st season was near perfect, so far the new series doesn't hit those heights, as the new superheroes don't hold a candle to the original ones, but it's still a good story. The even more unexpected series to get a sequel is The Devil Is A Part Timer, 9 years after the original series, and one I never expected to see in anime form. The original series is about a demon on the verge of taking over an alternative realm being unexpectedly transported to our world, where he ends up with the body of a late-teenager, and tries to take over our world in the way he thinks he can - by working in a fast food restaurant. It's a great comedy with a bizarre central conceit. |

took a break from seasonal anime for a few cycles but new show taking up the hype this season is "Oshi No Ko" (one, not direct translation is 'My Star'), from Aka Akasaka, who wrote Kaguya - the first episode is 90 minutes long and best done blind.
It is really good though, I'm amazed I was able to go 24 hours on Twitter and not get spoiled for it. |

I see the 2020 remake of Digimon Adventure has finally been dubbed and released, though only to buy through Microsoft Store(??) of all places.

Can't wait to get my teeth into qutie a few series this year. Most notably Spy Family! I've also noticed that Made In Abyss finally has a second season currently airing! Cannot wait to watch that when it's complete. I've watched quite a lot of series since my last post! I won't list all of them but some highlights: Ousama Ranking - Loved it. It was so heartwarming and was much better than I expected it to be! Mob Psycho (Season 1 & 2) - Been on my to watch list for ages and finally got round to watching it. It made me laugh a lot and season 3 recently came out which I'm looking forward to watch at some point. 86 (season 2) - The first season was really strong and had lots of unanswered questions and potential to be developed. Season 2 did not disappoint - expanding greatly on the story and revealing a number of interesting details. 86 is definitely one of the best anime series from the last few years for me. 91 Days - A series I've had on my to watch list for ages. I finally got round to watching it and I was not disappointed! A series about a guy getting revenge after his family was killed when he was younger. It has some great twists and turns, I would highly recommend it. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (Season 1 Part 1 & 2)- Given the flood of Isekai anime, this does a really good job at being different and interesting enough to distinguish itself. I really enjoyed it and it started off pretty funny, light hearted and almost like one of those "Main character overpowered" types of animes. However, by the middle-end it got a lot more interesting and serious. I cannot wait for the third season - which will be aired during the summer season starting in July. It has a lot of potential that I hope it lives up to! |

Just finished watching the hyped 3rd season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Might be giving a short review of it at the end of the year.

Decided to watch Oshi no Ko 2 weeks ago and finished the first season last week. Been waiting for the original songs since and they're finally out today (Spotify even made a playlist of it).
2nd part of The Devil Is A Part Timer (season 2) is also airing next Thursday. |

finally started continuing Oshi No Ko too lol - just in time for the new season to overtake that discussion. I must do this on purpose. It's great to see commentary on the industry though and I trust Aka.
been working my way through Lycoris Recoil (from 2022, about lesbian protectors of peace) and Happy Sugar Life (2018, disturbing horror) too. |

Whilst we wait for Pokemon Ultimate Journeys to hit Netflix in the UK (I really don't understand why we don't get it in the same equal parts the US does), Horizons has now been previewed in its dub.

The biggest anime news this month (probably this year too, matching Oshi no Ko) is that Attack On Titan has finally come to an end.
I haven't watched anything from the series, but I have put it on my plan-to-watch list when it ends, despite knowing a lot of major spoilers. |

I got up to one of the many final seasons* a couple of years ago, but I probably need to rewatch some of it, maybe from season 2 or 3 (because I've rewatched 1 enough times), when I feel like it. Did hear things about the ending though which isn't making me super enthused but then again it's a great series overall.
*iir, the season lineup looks something ridiculous like this: S1 S2 <- 4 year gap between S1 and S2 S3 <- S3 part 2 The Final Season The Final Season Part 2 The Final Season: The Final Part each all airing a year or more apart from each other. I haven't been watching much anime but actually I've seen more about the second season of JJK on my timeline - also not watched it, sounds like a good big thing etc |

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You (peak RomCom anime ) haven't watched this yet but it does sound like an iconic mess of a show. Same for Girlfriend, Girlfriend too. Frieren and MF Ghost look like the more serious good shows of this season but I'm not on them yet, I'm just getting around to JJK for the first time instead. |

It has been announced that the culprit of 2019 Kyoto Animation murder and arson has been sentenced to death.
As a person who wasn't into anime that much back then, this tragedy was pretty horrible and sad. It should be a public news rather than just either a Japan or weeb news, so I feel sorry for not knowing it before because it just felt weird. My deepest condolences to all family of those 36 victims. Surprisingly, there's no KyoAni anime that has been added to my MAL, so it's better for me to start watching one.
