First off, big shout out to everyone who checked out “trash” anime and share your thoughts in this weekly thread. I lack to time to do so myself, but enjoy hearing of your experience.
I picked up 3 seasonal anime last week, 2 of them courtesy of @Crank@ani.social. So a big thank you again.
Regarding The World Is Dancing , I first want to point out that the only thing it has in common with Wandance is the theme of dancing. Beyond this surface similarity, they couldn’t be more different. Wandance is a high school sports anime with a hint of romance. The World Is Dancing is a historical drama. The stories are totally different.
Still, the first 2 episodes of The World Is Dancing have been impressive. This is a such a CyPic anime in terms of visuals.
I do wish that it would pick up its pacing though. The story so far looks like the prologue to the main plot. There has to be more to it than what we’ve seen.
Goodbye, Lara is the other recommendation and it’s just as impressive. I enjoy retelling of a classic story, and seeing how the new one develops.
I also like the art style. It reminds me of the one in Gundam Gquuuuuux.
The latest anime that I picked up is The Cat and the Dragon. I checked it out on a whim because it looks cute, and I am glad I did. There is more world-building than I expected, and each episode’s plot is at least loosely connected to the previous ones.
It’s voice cast is another aspect that surprised me. The moment I heard / recognise their voice, I had to check their casting out. And boy is it stacked. My headcanon is that these high profile voice actors enjoyed going “Nya nya nya” in this anime.
Lastly, I am all caught up on Mushoku Tensei / Jobless Reincarnation. This is peak story and story-telling, and easily one of the best isekai out there. I may just pick up the novels after this season finish airing; I must know how the story goes.
