So what are you planning on following /a/?
(3.49 MB 1280x720 1744506750508.mp4)

The only thing I'm watching so far is Yaiba.
I still can't remember Zatsu Tabi's protagonist's name
(290.06 KB 1901x516 spring2025.jpg)

>>5696 kusuriya, kanpekiseijo, takamine san, beginning fo the end, zatsu tabi, summer pockets, yami healer, beginning of the end, kowloon romance, shoushimin, and that robot isekai
Yaiba, Apocalypse Hotel, and Apothecary Diaries so far. Also tried Lazarus but it's not my cup of tea
>>5696 Shoushimin, Apocalypse Hotel, Witch Watch, and the new Gundam
>>5714 >takamine san That one looks like a old school ecchi show so i'm down for it, but they would have to cut alot of chapters if we are to get to the tomboy.

i am watching these so far. don't mind the blur, also i'm not up to date with lazarus because i'm still waiting for jp voices, though no clue when theyre coming out. Summer Pockets, mono, Apocalypse Hotel, Food for the Soul, and ZatsuTabi are the standouts for me atm
>>5696 >The Yaiba Remake It's a passion project being done by Mob Psycho's director under WIT Studio, the mangaka is also involved helping with the script >My Hero Academia Vigilante Being directed by the director of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1 to 3, I also really liked the manga. The anime being censored is a bummer but so far the adaptation seems great >Witch Watch Fun manga by the Sket Dance mangaka, I'm not currently up to date with the manga but I liked it well enough to follow the anime, it seems like a decent adaptation so far >Fire Fore Season 3 Part 1 For me Fire Force was a Manga that got better the more it went on, this season will be adapting the final arc. I'm worried that they said this will be the final season, because I feel that 24 episodes isn't enough to cover everything, there's rumors that there'll also be a movie but even then I feel that it isn't enough. So far the first two episodes that released have a slower pacing than normal making the episode count even weirder. Also the animation looks noticeably worse, which is weird considering the previous 2 seasons looked amazing and this is being done by the same staff as the second season and it's a split cour so they should have had more time. I want to remain hopeful that the animation will improve but I'm scared >Yu-Gi-Oh! CARD GAME: THE CHRONICLES A lore Yu-Gi-Oh anime that's 11 minutes long and will release monthly episodes from now on, will be done by the newly founded Konami Animation Studio Other than those I'm considering watching Moonrise and Princess-Session Orchestra. Was kinda interested in Lazarus but it's apparently another production shitshow by Adult Swim.

>>5731 >Lazarus I bit the bullet and watch it on AS >Rock wa Lady no Tashinami de shite I just hope they'll have some good TRVE KULT metal to play.
>>5751 Is the Lazarus english dub decent enough to watch??? Or should I just wait? I'm afraid that lady rock won't have music on the level of bocchi or girls band cry.
>>5758 It's servicable. I've heard some of the cast on other ADV/Sentai stuff. It's not Bebop-tier, but it get's the job done.
>>5771 alright, good to know, thanks, i'll check it out soon.
>>5749 >The Yaiba Remake It's a passion project being done by Mob Psycho's director Ah is this why I’ve been seeing so much praise for even on here (well even on 4chan I mean ;_;) despite it being another remake. Might have to give it a look then
>>5696 the season is well in-season, it's time to stop planning and to start posting 'em >>5708 Not Tabi-san of the Zatsu clan? >>5729 Total Takamine Dominance >>5714 is the evil sci-fi warlord turned little baby show so nice that you had to name it twice? >>5731 ~2012-2015 we are so back, though Apocalypse Hotel seems a little more modern >>5718 >>5725 an excellent choice for one of few pickups for a season >>5710 then again this kind of anime watcher still exists
>>5892 >Not Tabi-san of the Zatsu clan? I simply call her Tabi-chan or Zenchud girl

>>5696 The 1st Lycoreco short dropped today and it lived up to the name. Only 2 minutes, and this one was not much of anything but at least Chisato was cute, which might be what they’re banking on. Here’s 5 images at once, woo!
>>5892 >That last image I lost…
>>5892 >~2012-2015 we are so back, though Apocalypse Hotel seems a little more modern lol, crazily real >>5903 watched this myself and by god, how can chisato be this fucking cute? also takina with the gun, kek
(877.60 KB 1920x1080 IMG_0743.png)

>>6008 Yeah that was good, I did just it was longer like 4 minutes each at least, maybe they’ll have different lengths. They said each episode has a different director, but this one felt pretty normal, I hope for a pure action/wacky one later.
>>6081 these little Tiktok gags will be released once/twice a month to tide us over until S2 next Winter
here's everything i'm watching. i'm a little surprised at how much ecchi there is this season... so far, my favorites of the season are Anne Shirley and Summer Pockets. you can feel the storybook quality of Anne Shirley while watching it, it feels very innocent, and almost makes me kind of melancholy, despite not even being a particularly sad show. Summer Pockets is similar in that i can tell it's adapting a Key VN just from how it's written and everything, though inducing nostalgia seems to be what it's going for. i'm enjoying everything else i'm watching, though. i'm a bit afraid i might get sick of the three ecchi series by the end of the season, but i'll see. mono i'm enjoying far more than i thought i would. i remember getting burnt out on Yuru Camp really quickly, but i think i like mono's characters more.
>>6381 I do feel like this is some type breadcrumb lead until S2. it’d feel weird to just drop 6 2min shorts 2 years after it ended and just leave it at that.
>>5696 Watching Gundam Cucks and MHA Vigilantes. Also keeping up with Lazarus and Witch Watch but I may just drop them in the future. I gotta check out more shows.
(342.54 KB 708x683 IMG_0775.jpeg)

>>6518 That’s fair and the fate of most ecchi anime nowadays. I still need to watch Mono but I did watch PA Works Good for the Soul’s 1st episode and I like it.
>>6518 >>6606 the only of the ecchi series I'm getting tired of is the sex robot one, mostly because a sex robot being anxious about losing her virginity is a ridiculous premise, mostly because sentient robots are not real compared to Apocalypse Hotel which is just so good that I can overlook this aspect but they are doing a good job of making it ambiguous whether Yachiyo's emotions are a simulated response to stimuli based on her programming or if she is supposed to feel real feelings also they keep referring to her AI as a thing she consults rather than the process governing her entire being, so there is still a chance of a plot twist of there being a ghost in the shell this isn't the direction I wanted to take this post, anyway the point I wanted to make is that maybe certain ecchi titles might be bad, but there is nothing wrong with ecchi as a genre, e.g. Takamine-san my AOTS then again it is a completely serviceable romcom that is only enhanced by the nipples and the sleazy jazz music, rather than literally softcore porn like the others
Aharen Vigilantes Ballpark Anne Shirley Witch Watch And there's several others I need to try out.
Just watched episode 2 of gundam qux, was this shit meant to air before episode 1? I know there was a 3 episode pre-screening, but what the hell? It feels so out of place lol

>>7248 In the movie release it did start with this, which feels much more natural to me since it leads into current Bull and then the Machu antics. I think they wanted to change it because they thought that having only one episode of this would confuse people into making it feel like they were mislead. I think they should have had a 1 hr opening episode for this to get the best of both, being the lead up and showing off the main style with the main character.
>>5696 >maomao watching >wind breaker droped >fire forces watching >kowloon generic romance droped >kuroshitsuji watching >umamusume droped i will yet try some others, but this season doesn't seem promising tbh
>>7388 I see.... thanks, anon. I agree with you, it should've been an hour long episode. It feels incredibly jarring to go from ep1 to then suddenly having a backstory for two characters we've barely even met. Hopefully ep3 is back to the regularly scheduled stuff.
I heard mono is good. From Yury camp author apparently
(237.83 KB 1223x1736 IMG_9567.jpeg)

>>7491 Yeah it will be
>>7519 first episode is really good, and should hopefully stay at the same quality throughout its season
(422.78 KB 2048x1448 IMG_0789.jpeg)

Lots of cute and fun Spring shows
(1.81 MB 1280x1440 IMG_0803.png)

More Ninkoro tomorrow, that and Hotel have been my favorite surprises of the Season.
>>7397 why'd you drop all the good anime and keep the shite?
>>5696 This season is incredibly weak. I'm only watching Fire Force. Anything else that I was even vaguely interested in had a shit ep 1 or I'm just not interested in at all.
>>9696 What all did you watch ep1 of?
>>9696 this has been one of the strongest seasons in a while for me lol
for me it's apocalypse hotel, ninkoro, mono, and zatsu tabi (with apocalypse hotel and ninkoro absolutely blowing my expectations out of the water and being amazing); also considering trying Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi and lady rock but I'm unsure about it
(322.54 KB 849x1200 IMG_9758.jpeg)

>>9843 Rock Ladies is good and interesting so far, but it’s still in the set up phase and I’m curious what the full main hook of the story will be. Food for the Soul is also a solid CGDCT but it’s nothing crazy unique. Also Mono fills that space as well and is equally as nice.
>>9932 plain cgdct can be sort of hit or miss for me but the decent comedy and density of total goofballs really sold me on mono
Which show has the best QUALITY so far?
>>13395 food for the soul, apocalypse hotel, and mono so far from what i've seen. though "quality" is a broad term so unsure what you entirely mean. ninja to koroshiya has been pretty high quality so far too
>>13395 if you're talking being scenic and all that it's easily apocalypse hotel
