This Season

Now that all the first episodes of the seasonal anime that I am following have aired, I can sort-of compare them.

Umamusume: Cinderella Gray - part 2 - I heard that the upcoming arcs would be peak, and I can see it. They are certainly cooking with the first couple of episodes, setting up for the big races.

Gnosia - This is an anomaly but I found an early rival to Cinderella Gray as the anime-of-the-season. Out of the seasonal anime that I am following, it has the strongest first episode. We got trusted into the thick of things immediately, making it exciting from the get-go. I hope the rest of it continues to be as good.

Spy x Family - season 3 - Just like Cinderella Gray, the first two episodes are just intermissions to set-up for the best parts. I am confident it won’t disappoint.

Digimon Beatbreak - It is still retaining my interest at the moment. I hope it follows its current direction and delve deeper into the underlying conspiracy. If it ends up focusing on a bunch of pointless battles, that’s when I am going to drop it.

Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill - season 2 - This is my first drop of the season. Season 1 was a chill, slice-of-life isekai. Season 2 is more of the same. I think those who enjoyed season 1 greatly would continue to do so. In my case, I get bored of repetitive slice-of-life events eventually (like in I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level), so I am out.

Past Season

Mushishi

I completed the remainder of Mushishi. I find it to be a unique anime. I think it may be the first anime I’ve watched that blends supernatural and episodic slice-of-life. Emphasis on slice-of-life, because even though Rascal Does Not Dream Of… and …monogatari exist, those felt more like drama.

Overall, it’s a pretty great series. I would rate it an 8 / 10.
