What I’m Watching - Fall 2021
ahhhh fuck the season’s already started holy shit!
Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. - I’ve read like 100 chapters of the manga and enjoy it enough, also the PVs be looking mad fucking nice which is a relief.
Takt Op. Destiny - Yeah so the announcement PV for this looked dumb and “musicart” sounds stupid so I meme ptw’d this. Then we got our first real PV and the show looked great, so I removed it from ptw since it’s not a funny ironic watch any more. But then we got the road trip looking key visual and PV and, yo, I fucking love road trips in anime dog, so yeah
Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi - Hence “Annoying Senpai”, Girl cute, Tomori Kusunoki.
Sakugan - I’m gonna have a difficult time explaining why exactly but ever since this got announced in like 2019 or so? I’ve been really fucking excited for it, like, absurdly so. And when we started getting PVs they looked genuinely incredible. Actually my most anticipated show for this season and hard read Anime of the Season as well. Watch Sakugan.
Heike Monogatari - Hey I’m already watching this lol. It’s already really good too - amazing visuals enhanced with expected god tier direction from Yamada, and hey Aoi Yuuki giving a vocal performance like no other.
180 Byou de Kimi no Mimi wo Shiawase ni Dekiru ka? - Meme ASMR show, 3 minute episodes.
Selection Project - Did you see me passionately declare my love for this dumb idol show yesterday lol.
Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru: Dai Mankai no Shou - I’ve seen the rest of YuYuYu anime lol, why not, right? It’s been ages since I watched them and I remember fuck all and I’ve read zero of the light novels which will apparently really do me in here, but hey I’m sure I’ll rewatch it whenever I decide to consume the rest of the franchise. Btw gonna make a point to use MajiYuusha uploads since better subs.
Demon Slayer: Mugen Train TV - Completionist syndrome plus Mugen Train has god tier animation so.
Puraore! Pride of Orange - Idol anime. But also cute girl sports show. But also the PVs look really fucking good so I have reason to be excited that’s not just superficial genre enthusiast shit.
Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo - AKA Rumble Garanndoll? World’s worst localised title goes to... But anyway this seemed cool to me based on the initial title of Reversal World’s Battery Girl and the kind of denpa key visual, and while that’s less so the case now and I sorta just find the PVs fine, that one PV that screams OTAKU IS NOT DEAD has me intrigued. Some meta statement on the romanticisation of the “good old days”? Back when Daicon opening animations were the shit? Could be neat, idk I’m certainly interested anyway.
Yakunara Mug Cup mo: Niban Gama - PEAK FICTION CUP SEASON FUCKING 2 BABY
Anyway yeah think that’s it. My whole “cutting down on seasonals” thing’s gone to fucking shit lmao. But in my defence, 12 shows is still reasonable, especially given the amount of seasons where I’ve tried to watch like 18 or more shows and all. Moreover I actually am really excited for the bulk of these, like it doesn’t feel like I’ve got any shows I’m picking up for one single reason that I otherwise wouldn’t watch - this feels carefully considered by my standards anyway. And hey I might still drop stuff lol. Anyway yeah hype season.
