Can season 1 be watched as a self-contained story though? If it can be, I’m going to start on it.
Yes

It’s just the second episode, and it’s already a three-parter.
We’ve got gems like:
- Tiny Sadaharu (cute!)
- Thought-provoking wisdom such as: “Humans are animals, too” 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
- and; “I’m Kondo Isao. I’d like to remain anonymous.”
In other words, this episode is peak. Adding the JoJo reference makes it doubly peak.

In retrospect, the Trans Am is an allegory of Madhouse as a studio. Redline broke Madhouse, but it recovered to animate works like Frieren later on.

It turns out the threat to the culture festival has lower stakes than I thought.
The episode quality tends to be lower in the second cour, but the past few ones are some of the best (the Keigo-Nemu and the Nico-Morihito date episodes, for example). Didn’t mind the lack of main plot pacing because I liked the episodic comedy.
Wonder what S3 would be like?

Best collab I’ve seen yet. It’s legit a full Gintama skit and half of an entire Gintama episode. 10/10

Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku
Glad you liked it! It was the other way around for me. My interest in The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity began because (1) people were hyping up on how good the manga is and (2) the Akebi staff is working on it.
My first reaction on seeing the poster is “the female MC [Kaoruko] looks like a grown-up Akebi Kao”. There are some stylistic similarities. I could also say that KaoruHana has the Akebi art style without the Akebi mangaka’s weird facial proportions.

Live molave reaction to Summer 2025
Summer 2025 is the strongest since Winter 2018 (with #2 best Violet Evergarden, #4 best A Place Further Than The Universe, and Yuru Camp), and the strongest since I started serially watching anime (Winter 2022). It’s got:
Takopi’s Original Sin - my new best anime. I never thought anything could upstage Violet.
My Dress Up Darling S2, The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity, and Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus - Cloverworks trifecta, all highly-regarded and some of the studio’s best output yet!
Baan - It’s… really good, given it’s an indie production that Gigguk bankrolled
Dan Da Dan S2
The Summer Hikaru Died
Call of the Night S2
Grand Blue S2
Silent Witch
Again, can I glaze some more on KaoruHana and MDUD?
While I had to ground my expectations on KaoruHana, they knock it out of the park with episode after episode. My gut tells me Cloverworks was cooking something the moment I saw its poster, simply because it’s got the same artistic quality as Akebi’s Sailor Uniform. I can’t glaze that one enough either as it’s one of the best-looking works in all anime. Unfortunately, the studio had to cut corners in KaoruHana, but they didn’t where it mattered. And in those scenes, they matched and exceeded anything the staff put out in Akebi, multiple times, in each episode. I’m as happy as Kaoruko there. Yay also for the romance iyashikei story it tells.
Bocchified MDUD is not in my bingo. It has OP of the season no doubt, and I think it’s the perfect way to adapt the series.
Other nonseasonal highlights I watched during Summer 2025:
Lost in Starlight - Insterstellar-esque mature romance story with nigh-flawless execution with the Shinkai art style I’m biased in favor of. 10/10
Redline and Promare - acid trips of watches there. Would recommend. Both 9/10
The Dangers in My Heart - the chemistry between the MCs is off the charts. Part of the reason why the story of KaoruHana felt more mundane to me, lol. 10/10. Best romance strictly because of the romance. I have higher-ranked romances but it’s because of other things. BokuYaba, for instance, is just below Your Lie in April because the latter’s drama is so good and it impacted me in a personal way.

Are anime-original episodes considered filler too? Because the last episode of Makeine is anime-original, though the author wrote the story.
And there’s also The Promised Neverland S2 and Wonder Egg Priority, from what I remember.

Shuumatsu Touring and Class 3-Z Ginpachi-sensei are the only ones that get my attention in this season. At the surface, it looks like this will be the weakest of 2025.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
It’s overrated, but it’s more than a good intro to anime for a child. Growing up, I really liked it. Looking back, it’s not groundbreaking as far as anime as concerned. Also, it was all downhill after the Pain Arc.

I would have put Shinkai’s works at the top the current year is 2016-2018. The other studios learned a lot from him, in my opinion. His art styles are some of my favorites to this day, though.
