Having moved off of reddit mostly I’m finding it hard to keep tabs on what seasonal shows are worth the effort, what shows are y’all planning on watching/most looking forward to? The stuff I’m excited for this year (with the exception of JJK and Mushoku Tensei) all come out later this year so I’m kind of in a holding pattern right now, would love some direction :)

    JJK is a no brainer here, other than that i’m looking forward to more Mataraku Maou-Sama and Bungou Stray Dogs. I have no self control, so I’ll also be watching every single bad isekai this season. Helck is crazy good as a manga but IDK if the anime will go for long enough to get into the interesting parts of it, so i’ll chalk that down as a “maybe when i hear how other people like it 6 episodes in”.

    this time around the bad isekai looks to be “jitsu wa ore, saikyou da”, “Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill”, “The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior” for which i went with the english title because its long as hell, and of course the vending machine anime where the guy gets reincarnated as a vending machine.

      Garbage isekai sounds so fun, that’s the kind of media I’d watch with friends if I had a group of people that were interested in watching garbage lmfao. I love watching Mother’s Basement on youtube and i get my fill of garbage shows from him but I am ever tempted to jump into the garbage heap myself

      • Sometimes I like watching garbage just because it is garbage.

        This season seems there is a continuation of Masamune-kun’s Revenge and that is when I realised there was a previous season to it released around 3 years ago. Show is utter garbage, but I still watched the first season.

  • I’m desperately waiting for The Apothecary Diaries to come out in the Fall season, but I’m really happy there’s going to be more Horimiya and Devil is a Part-timer to tide me over. I’m also interested in Helck, the manga was great, and cautiously optimistic about the Rurouni Kenshin remake.

  • Outside of my slice of life romcoms, the one I’m most looking forward to this season is Helck: Shortly after the Demon King is defeated by the human hero, the demon realm holds a tournament to find the strongest demon to be their new leader. The twist is that a human hero shows up and starts crushing the competition. When asked about it he says he hates the humans, but the demons running the tournament can’t help but think he’s there to sabotage the event.

  • I think Summer 2023 is pretty lackluster. Only thing i wanted to watch is the vending machine isekai, having read the light novel some years ago, and only because it’s absurd. I’ll give other shows a try, of course, but i’m not looking forward to any shows in particular. I’m waiting for Autumn.
