Definitely watching
- The Apothecary Diaries S3 - Obvious choice. The story so far has beed varying from good to great. There’s also a movie in December. Hopefully will be available outside Japan in timely manner 🙏
- Cyberpunk: Edgerunners S2 - The first season was outstanding - one of the best sci-fi anime out there.
- Fool Night - Trailer looks great and it’s studio Shaft.
- There Is Also a Hole in the Student Organization! aka Raw Anal
Probably watching
- Firefly Wedding
- #I’m Looking For a Zombie - from the author of Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu
- The World’s Strongest Witch - the premise sounds interesting and I’m hearing a lot of positive opinions. Could be fun
Will try, but they start in the drop zone (I don’t request threads for these)
- A Wild Last Boss Appeared! S2 - season 1 started great, disappointed later. I don’t have a lot on my plate this season, so I’ll give it a second chance, but I’m not having high hopes
- Overgeared - looks generic, but has big titties, explosions, and from the trailers it looks like it has higher quality animation than your average JC Staff show, so it could be enjoyable kind of slop.
- FX Fighter Kurumi-chan - sounds like r/wallstreetbets the anime
- The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life - I have no reason to pick this up, it looks like slop, walks like slop, but it’s P.A. Works, so I’ll give it a shot at least
- Suikoden: The Anime - the first show from Konami animation, so I’m curious
- Romelia War Chronicle - same as above. New studio, first time director.
There’s also a bunch of movies, but I won’t be able to see them this season, so I guess I can skip that here

For what it’s worth, here is what I wrote about the first LN volume. TL;DR: don’t put too much hope into it.
LN impressions
One of those “somehow our entire fantasy society is based on skill ranks using earth terminology, but everyone thinks ‘S Rank’ is the worst because it’s so far down the alphabet, so I get left to die by my parents because that’s totally normal parenting behaviour, but it turns out S-Rank actually means it’s good!” type of stories. I’m groaning so much reading this; my neighbors started cheering for my stamina. There is a certain charm to it, though. It reminds me of the good old days before I stopped reading web novels for the lack of quality. This book here is riddled with so many logical and temporal errors that it should never have reached the point where it got picked up for publication and stayed in WN territory. It’s ridiculous, really. Like the editor just threw in the towel and said, “Yeah, whatever…just release it”.
The better Bocchi. There, I said it!.
