Fall season and the year of 2024 is drawing to a close. Most shows have either wrapped up this past week or are wrapping up this week. So, let’s talk about it! Did anything surprise you? disappoint you? exceed your expectations? Of course, more general topics are still welcome just like any week.

    This was a very weak season for me. Of the 13 shows I started off with:

    • one of them was a leftover from previous season (2.5D Seduction).
    • I dropped 6 of them
    • put on hold 1 of them (re:zero)
    • the ones I didn’t drop are fine with only a few exceptions. I can only really call 2 of them very good (Dandadan and NegaPosi Angler).

    I’m still planning to watch Orb and Magilumiere.

    The ones I ended up watching in full were:

    • 2.5D seduction: good fun, pretty wholesome despite the ecchi.
    • Dandadan: probably best of season. Unfortunate ending.
    • NegaPosi Angler: 2nd best of season and the surprise for me. Expected to dislike it because I don’t care for fishing, but ended up being pulled in by the characters and their dynamics.
    • Demon Lord 2099: also a bit of a surprise. Not without its flaws, but fun. Interesting combination of 2 different settings (fantasy and cyberpunk). After Dandadan, probably my favourite OP and ED.
    • 365 Days Till Wedding: took a nosedive after the first half and kinda stayed there. Adult romance anime are usually fresh compared to school romance because the characters are more mature and assertive. Not here though. Too passive and too dependent on misunderstandings.
    • Do-Over Damsel: there’s something really intriguing here, but it’s brought down so hard by its problematic main duo.

      Orb, Dan Da Dan, and NegaPosi Angler were the three shows for me from this season. I watched some others, but I haven’t really looked forward to those episodes as much as these three. If I had to put a fourth in there, it would probably be Villainess That Goes Down in History. However, that one had some problematic stuff and episodes tended to hit or miss. Part of what helped that show for me is that it was basically the only show coming out on Tuesday, as opposed to like the 5 shows that came out on Thursday.
