Alright, here is what I am looking forward to this upcoming season:

Shows I am familiar with the source

• Frieren Season 2 - my most anticipated for sure
• Oshi no Ko Season 3 - an excellent adaptation. People give the manga shit for the ending, but I have read way worse and I think it is a bit overblown. It doesn’t change the fact that this show has consistently elevated the source and produced some gorgeous animation sequences.
• Chained Soldier Season 2 - I am hoping that the animation improves over the first season. It definitely felt lackluster compared to the excellent manga artwork.
• 'Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess Season 2 - This is just a heaping dish of good vibes. Looking forward to more.
• You Can’t Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends! - I eventually dropped this manga, but the beginning portions were good.
• The Demon King’s Daughter is Too Kind! - Like Torture Princess, this is a bundle of good feelings.

Shows I am not familiar with the source

• You and I Are Polar Opposites - I see this one posted in !manga@ani.social with some regularity, so I might try to give it a shot if I can find the time
• Tune In to the Midnight Heart - I have heard great things about this manga, but haven’t read it. I will be interested to see how it is received.
• Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers - I fondly remember watching Ronin Warriors as a youngling, so this series is of interest to me. However, it is a pretty low priority given everything else this season.

Frankly, I might only be able to watch half of these, so my patience to wait out a mediocre adaptation will wear thin quickly. I am still trying to catch up on some shows this season.
