    I feel like the first season was the only good one, right balance of fan service and a story that didn't really get in the way of that. The more recent seasons are the opposite, shitty story and not enough fan service.

    Animation was usually good though, so it's not terrible to watch for that but definitely not enough fan service.

    Personally, I thought the second season was fine except for the harem nonsense, especially the battles, also thanks to some very great BGM. Divers, on the other hand, definitely was cheesy in parts, but even those had their charm, even moreso when I rewatched it recently. That and some great battles as well, would recommend watching it for them at least, even if you're not into, at times, thinly veiled drama.

    If it wasn't for Chihaya, Ahiru no Sora would be the best anime this season by far. It's almost Haikyuu level.

    Yeah it is very solid; last few eps have been great. Ace of the Diamond is also excellent right now.

    Binged through the released eps of Oresuki. I don't like traditional harem anime (with a few exceptions). This one is of course a subversion of the genre but I went in not expecting much and got a gut-bustingly hilarious ride. 8 eps went by so freaking fast.

    It lays it on pretty thick in the first episode, but as the story progresses it's clear that Oresuki isn't just a cheap subversion. It adds plenty of mystery-style hijinks and intrigue. It doesn't really take itself too seriously, just seriously enough to deliver an actually decent story. My only complaint is that the character's personalities sometimes give me whiplash. Like I don't really expect a human mind to be able to readjust itself that quickly. But it's a minor issue in what is otherwise a funny, interesting, enjoyable series overall. I'm glad I'm finding more to like this season than I thought I would.

    This is from last season but finally finished Astra - Lost In Space. Now this was a good story. There are some minor problems with it (the kind that pop sci-fi stories almost always overlook) but otherwise I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci-fi. It's a mystery and a space adventure and a comedy/drama with some real character growth. By the end I felt I had watched something with real meat to it, not something tropey and forgettable, even though it was only 12 eps long. I really don't think I'll be forgetting this one anytime soon.

    According to the people on reddit, the LN isn't nearly as comedic as the show. But I loved the comedy of the show so I'm glad they did it the way they did. Curious if the LN ends where the anime ended or if it continues with that semi-cliffhanger.

    Also, should we keep making new anime threads for every season? Or just change this into a general new seasonal cour anime thread?

    Think I prefer the quarterly threads. Just a matter of someone bothering to link a season chart and/or promo vids.

    Cautious Hero sure did turn out to be a ride. Gonna probably re-watch it when I get a chance. Oresuki was good but the lack of closure in the ending and having to wait months for an OAV to wrap it up is garbage.

    Also my vote is for seasonal anime threads, it's easier to talk about the shows that are running right now. There just hasn't been a real crazy season in a while.

    Vote for threads to be separate too.

    And then maybe an all general purpose one like the manga one.

    edit: I just finished Shin Chuuka Ichiban (cooking master boy)

    I want my time back lol. It was only nostalgia that kept me watching, but they essentially Dragon Ball Kai'd the series from episode 19 of the original series and basically redone it (with some new voices and redrawn) that leads up to the penultimate battle of the Shanghai arc. So essentially they condensed episodes 19 to 42 and a half into 12 episodes.

    Time to pick another thing to marathon. Since you guys just spoke of Cautious Hero and it was something I did take interest in, I shall choose that next!

    It took 2 days but I too am just done with this. Very very good. The english dub should finish up in the next 2 weeks or so, so I will rewatch it in English to hear how the VAs there handle it.
