New Monday, new week, new season of anime. It’s time for fresh beginnings! The very first summer shows have already aired, but the bulk of them are starting over the course of this week. Also happening this week, where I am from, it is a holiday (July 4th in the US). So, if you are like me and will be out on the beach a lot this week, then here’s to us, enjoying an irl beach episode.

In any case, please use this thread for all your anime discussion needs. I want to hear what your thoughts on the new batch of shows are. Thanks in advance for letting me know what to watch vs. skip when I get back from vacation!

    Been a very light season for me. Tons of IRL commitments, little viewing. I’ll have a lot to catch up on eventually!

    Watched all of:

    • Mushoku Tensei S2C2 - Excellent adaptation. Really love how well it’s coming together.
    • X-men ‘97 - Ya, not really anime, but I was excited about it. It peaked mid-season for me. Still good and worth watching, especially if you have nostalgia for the OG series.

    Watched part of:

    • I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince… - Most of the way through. Surprisingly good. It’s got some problematic content (way too much fan service for me, weird pedo-like obsession, etc) but the rest is very well done, so I’m overlooking those. The first few episodes are just unhinged and wild in a really fun way. Lloyd is a hilarious MC. Definitely plan to finish.
    • Cyberpunk Edgerunners - About halfway. Really good. Not my typical interest, still enjoying a lot. Definitely plan to finish.
    • Chillin’ in Another World… - A few episodes in. Fun and light. Enjoying more than expected. Probably finish.
    • Spice and Wolf Remake - Only watched a bit. Interesting but hasn’t grabbed me yet. Probably watch a few more.
    • Jellyfish Can’t Swim At Night - Good but haven’t been in the mood for this style lately. Probably watch a few more.
    • Ojisaan to Obasaan - Yea, tried one episode. Not for me.
    • Bartender of the Gods - Tried a bit. It’s okay. Probably pass.

    Catch-up efforts:

    • Konosuba S1 - Finished this season. It’s good but it’s kind of a lot. Probably try more S2 eventually.
    • Slime-san S2 - Finally got over the hurdle of those meeting episodes and the rest was good. Didn’t realize quite how much catch up there is!
    • Date A Live S1 - Tried the first bit because it was ranking so highly on Anime Corner. I dunno, I didn’t love the beginning. Maybe not for me.

    Stuff to definitely watch later:

    • Dungeon Meshi S1C2 - Must watch.
    • Yuru Camp S3 - Must watch.

    Interested in trying:

    • Kaiju No 8
    • Go Go Loser Ranger

    Eventual catch-up:

    • Konosuba S3
    • Demon Slayer S?
    • MHA S?
